Hello,

I’m a long time roleplayer but only got into the Star Wars RPG earlier this year and a complete newbie to PbP. I hope you guys will bear with me learning the ropes and getting into some interesting stories.

Welcome to the site!
Give me about 5 minutes after a post, I'll probably edit it a bit before it is finalized.

Welcome. Browse around and drop a line if you have any questions. All games have an OOC thread, if one strikes your fancy ask in one of those to find out if there are current openings.
Also the active games thread could help point you in a good direction as well.

I looked at that. The links don’t seem to work right now (I understand there was server issues) but I’m using it as a reference to check different games.

No problems.... Welcome! Feel free to even play with the dice roller (above) and make some practice rolls and post here, if you'd like, to get used to posting different things in different ways. ;)

The links are now fixed. When Rider had to revert the board from paid hosting back to free, all forum URLs broke. Until now, no one bothered to remind me (or him) that the Active Games list had broken links. I also need to go through the list this weekend and update it, as there are some games missing from the list and some games (such as my own) that have gone inactive.

Thanks. One last thing; a lot of the games say to contact the GM about spots. Is there a messaging system in this forum?

Edit: Never mind, just figured out it’s restricted since I am still new.

Click on a person's name and it will bring up their info. Then just scroll down to PM. Or you could just ask in the OOC.

^ This is the recommended/preferred means for contacting GMs. PMs should be reserved for when conversations really need to be private. ;)

@Spiritbw glad to see you've taken an interest in hyperlight echoes. It's looking like it will shape up to be an interesting non-standard edge game.

I would also recommend if you are interested in games that push the limits like that one, you might want to check out galactic racing circuit. we just got done with our first race and our dm @kanila tells us that they feel confident that they can whip up some great homebrew rules for us based on that experience. We had a face character but the player has since dropped off and not appeared in a while, so we have an opening, or if you want to play another type of character that is fine too, but thematically we have a reason to bring in someone new as we all accepted a debt as part of starting the game and we need a way to explain away how one of the people in the debt has disappeared.

Hope to see you around but regardless, looking forward to playing with you the hyperlight.

Welcome, @Spiritbw! I'll second all the great suggestions so far. One other I can pitch is Alpha Squad. It's like the A-Team in Star Wars, although so far with a lot fewer car chases. Maybe that will change. One of the PCs recently took over as GM, so there may be an opening for a new player if it sounds interesting to you.

Thanks for the suggestions! I’m just trying to read up on them to get an idea of what is going on now.
