Hello! Whats your name? Its very nice to meet you. You like games? So do I....

Lets see who gets the reference. :D

Anyways here is a bit about me.... Never ever been on an actual RP site before... actually only RP'd in real life. I enjoy sci-fi ones the best but a good fantasy/sci-fi hybrid is always nice... Anyways... I got a pretty good one under wraps and I want to know how to make one...

Also im a cosplayer, I collect swords and I and im into Taekwondo and I am an avid gamer.

Anyways my Fiancé, FatalCure should join later tonight... I want all you guys to give her a good warm welcome please... Unlike me she has been into RP for a wwwaaayyy long time... and has been the creator of a few RP's. Shes my Sensei...

Anyways out of the forums I've been on (about 3) I've been a mod on two, so I pretty am used to the forum scene... but hey... how do I make an RP here?

Welcome to our happy little – I should say large – community/family of RPG (sorry for the acronyms, Role-Play Gateway) HMC! I’m happy to see another person has found their way to us and is willing to jump into the enjoyable tales and stories we have to offer. My name is Maestro and besides being a member of staff, I have the important lovable job of being a Mentor! So when it comes to any questions involved in role-play, I or any of our other staff members are defiantly the ones to ask – but we promise, our members are just as friendly and knowledgeable.

I have been role-playing for only two years and I can personally vouch for this site when it comes to having the chance to excel beyond your wildest imagination; all you need is a little patience and motivation. When I first joined I was nothing more than a novice myself; but since my stay here, I’ve become a well-respected member and active role-player – and now the words under my hand are dynamite! At least I hope they are (nothing better than gloating)! But I can assure you that as long as you believe, you will quickly join the ranks of the best role-players we have to offer. The road ahead may be difficult, but worth it, and now it’s your turn. At Role-Play Gateway we promise our members will try their best to make the path ahead of you an easily traveled one.

Keep in mind you don’t have to only rely on yourself because our members are willing to help you along the way so please don’t be discouraged to ask questions. If there is anything on your mind please feel free to check out the Role-Play Gateway Chat to ask your questions or even the Role-Play Academy where our Mentors are always willing to lend a hand. If you want to approach less interactive means, The Help Forum or The Beginner's guide to RPG Chat is there to assist. To further gain an advantage, make sure to take a look at our RPG Rules. There are only five so don't be stressed out about thinking were strict. As long as you respect us, we will return the favor.

If you're looking for a good role-play, look no further than Without Absolution! A Mentor created role-play, besides being fun and well-created; it is open to all kinds of writers and will house many different locations that suit everyone’s needs. Whether you're a premature writer, advanced, chat based, one-liners, etc, this role-play is for you! Luckily it's still in the early stages of creation so join while you can. This will be a constant expanding role-play that will let your characters evolve throughout the many plots to come. More importantly, if you're looking for help, this is a fun way to accomplish it! Throughout all hours of the day Mentors running the role-play will both participate and be there to answer your questions and help you better your role-play - if you wish it. So if you find the time, please check it out!

I hope I am of some help and that you enjoy your stay here. ^.^

If you want to create your own role play, you have two choices. First, you can click the Roleplay tab up at the top and choose to create a new one, or you can head into the forums to create an Interest Check, or an OOC followed by an IC.

I hope you enjoy your stay here. :)

Hey there, HMC! Welcome to the community, first of all, we're pleased to have you.

Creating a Roleplay on Roleplay Gateway is actually really simple! The big ol' roleplay tab system might seem intimidating at first, but it's not as complex as it looks, promise!

First of all, you're gonna want to mouse over the 'Roleplay' tab at the top of the screen, between 'Account' and 'RPG Forum'. Once you've moused over you can click on 'Add New Roleplay'.

Now, from there it is pretty straightforward, a form to fill out with clear, explained fields -- but once you've finished that, you'll want to go on to do a few more things.

• 1. Places: You can use the 'Places' feature of the Roleplay Tab in a number of ways. Firstly, you can use it in the most obvious manner, to create your roleplay's world location by location, to provide people with a more defined structure to post in. Secondly, you can create each place only as they're required (this works better in a linear roleplay, where you can guide your players through the plot by adding new locations either for places as they travel or actually for literal events [though the new Events tab is coming soon, which might eliminate the need for that]).
  
• 2. OOC: Your Roleplay will automatically have an Out Of Character thread posted for it in the OOC Forum, and you'll probably want to go and edit that to insert the necessary information there. Just click on the 'OOC' tab above your roleplay.
  
• 3. Characters: Both you and other people will be able to submit characters to your roleplay using the 'Character' tab, which attach them to your profile as well as the Roleplay. You can also control who posts in your roleplay, if you selected the 'Characters Require Approval' option, by whether you accept or reject the characters. People can't post till you accept them to the roleplay.

I think that's everything you'll need to start with, but if you have any further questions feel free to ask! And once again, welcome!
