Hey WaltJRimmer, Welcome to RPG!
There is no need to feel intimidated or alone. We have all different levels and styles of role-players here, I'm sure you'll be able to find your niche. I hope you also find that we are the welcoming and friendly community we strive to be.
I found this site a little confusing to navigate when I had first arrived, so let me point you in some directions. These are the two forums, outside of actual roleplays, that I spend most of my time browsing:
Interest Checks - Whether searching for a one-on-one partner, or seeking people to help you make an idea a reality, this is a place to find collaborators.
Roleplayers Wanted - If the roleplay has already been created and you're seeking writers to fill roles, this is where you would post.
Of course, you could always type in a genre in the search bar at the top. While you're up there, you can take a look at the select few
Rules we have. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask!
Best of luck! :)
