Greetings

Hello, I am Ditched. I've been playing TTRPGs off and on for a while, though I became a dedicated player in a RuneQuest game a year and a half ago that I'm still apart of today.

I've only played D&D5e (2014) and RuneQuest: Roleplaying in Glorantha, but I have read the rulebooks for many other games like Call of Cthulhu, Delta Green, Basic Roleplaying, Starwars FFG, Cyberpunk RED and the Without Number games (Worlds, Stars, Cities, Ashes).

Right now, my main gaming interests are with Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green. I've never actually played either of them but I enjoyed reading the rulebooks for both and think that the settings for each are neat. I have also never played a PbP game before, though I get the premise and am way more comfortable with typing out what my character does than acting it out in a VC. I've had my fair share of semi-uncomfortable RP moments in my RuneQuest game because I accidentally became the singular character that is driving the main plot of the campaign forward (Lhankor Mhy Draconic Scholar), so having the time to think about what I want to say and double checking it feels way better to me.

Welcome aboard, Ditched!

Agree with you on being more comfortable with text-based gaming than any live version, especially as a GM.

You should be in luck finding a CoC or DG game here. @Knifesedgegames runs CoC games for newbies here every so often, so be sure to check out the Games Tavern regularly to see when new games are available. There's an ebb and flow to the number of games that are run, so if you don't see anything you like one day, it could change immensely a couple of days later. Hopefully, you find something you like soon.

Welcome to GP, Ditched.

Welcome to GP, Ditched! And to the PbP end of the hobby! And to CoC and DG! You have much to look forward to!

Welcome Ditched! As ForeverDED mentioned, I regularly run newbie one shots for classic 1920s Cthulhu, usually starting every month or two. I’ll message you if you’re interested when the next one is prepping.

Welcome! I can attest to Knifesedgegames being great at introduction to CoC!

Welcome! You'll find PbP both familiar and new: all the good things about RPGs, and differently paced as it is a written rather than spoken medium. CoC and DG both get some love here, so you'll get someone getting round to starting a game.

Welcome
