Welcome to the site Arnon! We love to see new faces here.

Right now we have lots of games running as you can see. I would send Wayloss a Private Message or post to the Dragonlance OOC board, he might have openings there as a new game is just starting. Games start up all the time. Perhaps you could fill us in on your RPG experiences.

For example, I've been RPing for over a decade, started with D&D and still play that as well as online RPGs such as the MUSH. I'm familiar with several different systems.

thanks for the welcome,

I've been enthralled by D&D ever since i first saw the books (they were AD&D) in a hoby shop when I lived in the USA at age 18 (yhea i know, old ;) ).

sadly, I never got around to playing the game since i returned home and did not have much time for it the next years. Finally about 3 years ago, one of my friends told me by passing that they are forming a group to play D&D... of course i immidiatly jumped on the wagon.

So relatively speaking i'm rather new to the Role-Playing world, i've mostly in Homebrew worlds, a for about 8 month in planescape (which i loved), and DMed about 4 sessions of my own world.

Currently I'm in love with the Midnight setting and am trying to gather around a groupd of players to DM for them.

Arnon! Welcome to the site!

I am currently look to replace some idle players in Shadow Rift. This is a world created off a MUSH. The best place to look for information on this is ... telnet://brennor.dyndns.org 1896 (Though I would suggest downloading MUSHclient, ZMUD, etc)

There is also information here as well.

I am not going to run anymore one on one games in SS, but when the group games starts you can join in. To understand that game, the best thing to do is read the other IC forums and OOC forums as well.

Welcome to the site again! Looking forward the RPing with you soon.

Welcome aboard!

I've actually never played except play by post. I did a fair amount of that for a while a decade or so ago, and have just started up again.

Well, there was the time when a couple of fellow players were in town, so we all gathered around the speakerphone and talked with the DM for a while, but that was the only exception ...

I've played D&D games, GURPS (which in theory I prefer to D&D, but which is much harder to find a game in), and Amber (my absolute favorite, but only if everybody involved is deeply in tune with the books).

I guess I played a couple of others too. The problem with play by post is that the campaigns often end suddenly and prematurely ...

I'm mostly familiar with d20, although i have read partly though the GURPS 3rd edition but there are just so many rules there that my minded started to turn to jelly... or was it jello...hmmmm

Hey Welcome arnon :)
Yep I ahve a DL campaign that has just started up if your familiar with that setting, starting with 4th level charachters, which is the highest Starting level to date for the Site. Though Mahasarapa chars are now 5-6 lvl (I think this is my favorite playing campaign here, alo of fun to go back and read it, especially the last chapter, So huge IC posts :) I hope DL gets that good.) Also I am running an entirely Homebrew Game system my friends and I developed more then a decade ago now. It's pretty cool totaly d10 based and as flexabile as gurps can be witha shadowrun esque feel. It'sa fun setting.

Let us know what you want. We also use the Akira dawn Mush client as a chat room because the chat on the site is still crappy, though Brennor is working on some more upgrades.

Welcome to the site, Arnon! :)

Glad you were able to find your way here. If you do remember how you got here, that'd be cool to know. We are trying to spread the word about this site and get more people interested in us. Knowing which methods of communication actually work will help to plan further expansions! :)

Oh, it's been longer than that, V! We are approaching 2 decades of RPGs soon! :lol: About 2 to 3 more years for that though, I think.
