Welcome, Icesage0.
Glad you stumbled across us, as you have certainly come to the right place. We are passionate about Role Play, so much so that the owners even decided to make a site dedicated to the fantastic past-time!
Certainly though, we are glad to see you.
"What to do now? I've posted in the Welcome Desk, as I guess I'm supposed to. But I'm a little lost, there's so much here!"
Sound familiar? I know it does for me. The thoughts running through my mind when I first signed up. So... What DO you do now?
You can do what you want, I guess. But, perhaps a few recommendations, eh? Take a look around the site in general, look through the nicely categorised RPs ((That way, you can easily find RPs in your preferred genre)), get a feel for how it's done on here ((apparently, there are different ways to RP on a forum, and a lot of forums are different. I think they lie!)), scout out some RPs that interest you. Most of the time you can just jump straight in with a relevant post that introduces your character.
Perhaps visit the chat, if that's your bag? Not only do we RP on the chat, but we talk about general randomness as well, the link is at the top of the page or
here. 
But, we aren't just about RPing, so go take a look in our other forums. There are many good stuffs. And you may well just find a thread that interests you.
Of course, though, you can make your own RPs if you wish, and start new threads anywhere, basically.
Most importantly, however, and this is why you came here right? HAVE FUN!
Peace out.
