[b]Hello, Guardians[/b]! It's your friendly clan leader, [i]The Last Omnitect[/i], and I'm here to chat with you a bit about forum roleplaying!
As of tomorrow, we are at t-minus [b][i]two weeks[/i][/b] till Destiny's launch! And since our forum, [b]BECOMING LEGEND[/b] launches the same night, I figured it would be a good idea to start a thread for folks to ask any questions they may have regarding forum-style roleplaying.
[i][b]So consider this an open invitation: ask any and all questions you may have about RPing and the forum[/b][/i]. Ask as many as you would like, and be honest: everyone starts somewhere, but that starting point usually tends to be rock bottom. I understand that and as such will do my best to help you all learn the ropes. Once you get the hang of it, it'll become second nature. On the flip side, if anybody here can answer the aforementioned questions themselves, feel free to chime in. I'll weigh in on the questions myself, but all helpful advice is welcome.
Also, I will be posting a general summary of the forum rules, both player conduct and character creation rules, later this week for everyone's edification and digestion.
May the Traveler light your paths, Guardians.

Edited by Butch: 8/27/2014 7:20:23 AMErrrm, okay. Speaking of rock bottom, how about a general run down of the process? Am I right in that you treat it a bit like a tabletop RPG in that there will be a game master who sets the scene, and then we use forum posts to describe our players actions in the world? Do you also use chance/rule based processes for use of skills etc? This stuff might seem pretty obvious, but like I said, pretty green here. Edit: Or I could just google it I suppose... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play-by-post_role-playing_game
