Greetings Dragon_Maiden,
First of all, I have to say... I.LOVE.YOUR.AVATAR! It's gorrrrrrgeous! Don't worry, you may enter the Hotel Role Play Gateway anyway you like, but you may never leave! Buahahahaha. Oh wow, that was a little to evil for only 10 am. *winks*
You've probably already been looking around RPG and getting the feel for things, but you've probably already noticed that we have a plethora of different genres to dip your feet into! They also range from beginning to advanced! So, here are a few places that I find myself visiting often - hopefully these prove helpful in your navigations~
Here is the
Rules and Regulations here at RPG! You may also find a set of rules specific to each role play as well (on the introduction page, at the bottom!)
I'm sure you've already noticed on the tab system at the top of your screen you have a tab labeled
Roleplay If you click this tab it will show you pages and pages of Roleplays that you can browse through. You can also pick keywords that will hide certain roleplays or highlight them. (<-- INVALUABLE in my opinion!)
Next, you'll notice the
RPG Forum tab. Here you'll find anything and everything! No, really! There's a forum called
The Creative Realm that you can post artwork and creations in. There is also a forum called
Interest Checks where people talk about what kind of roleplays they would be interested in starting. And, of course, the
Roleplayers Wanted forum, where GM's can advertise for their newly started roleplays! There is also a great section called
The Role Play Academy. Here you can ask questions, get advice from the Mentors (which I can personally say is one of the best experiences EVER!), read tips and pointers from the pros, etc! You can also tell these wonderful individuals apart by the color of their user names!
Navy Blue = Mentors
Bright Blue = Coders
Green = Mods
Orange = Designers
Yellow = Contributors
Red = Creator/Administrators
Black = Normal folks like you and me!
I.Think.I.Covered.Them.All
And finally, something that you've already found, is the
Chat System. There is one large OOC chat, and an individual IC chats for each roleplay. So, as you can see there are many things to do, see and read! I hope this post wasn't too long! I tried to give you the short-long of it ;]
Great to have you on board, and hope to learn more about you!
Cordially,
Lilaiy
