Looking to get into Pbp.

Heya!

I play a lot of different ttrpgs but predominantly 5e due to its oversupply, haha.

I'm looking to run a Pbp game soon, but thought I should play in some first to get a feel for it.

Any advice on how to join games or how to go about getting into the subhobby would be absolutely appreciated.

Thanks for reading,

gengar

Happy gaming!

Every game is going to have its own feel and flow. Don’t feel that there is a right or wrong way, run a game and you’ll find your own style quickly.

Welcome :)

Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome! I've found this site has been pretty welcoming both for new players and new PBP GMs!

Good Luck! I hope you find the inspiration you are looking for,

Welcome to Gamersplane.

I run a game for newcomers but took the summer off. If you can't find anything else go ahead and apply to my game if you are interested. Details and application can be seen on the game details page Tiny Intro

Welcome home!

Welcome gengarfan92! Hope you find a great game to try!

Welcome to the community, gengar!

Welcome!

Welcome to GP!

If you're still keen for advice, and you just want experience to run a game, HEAPS of the games up here are public. You can just lurk a game or two for a bit, find a GM you vibe with and PM them any questions you have. It's a good community. I reckon you'd get a reply.

That way you're not restricted to just games with openings.

Welcome! We're happy to have you.
