Naoki,
welcome to the site. You should contact Caledionian Achille, the DM for the Redgully game for this question as we have an opening in that game.

the only problem is that i have no experience with online playing and im not sure how to join an already existing group so if there could be please a gentle soul who could help me out... welcome there! i've only been playing on-line RPGs for15 months when my regular tabletop group went through a lull. on-line RPG differs in some aspects to tabletop RPG. i view it like the old fashioned Play-by-mail system i knew as a lad and infact people refer to online RPG as PlayByPost. also, online RPG tends to be more talk and less action than tabletop but not always. PERSONALLY SPEAKING, i prefer a system where all the players taking part in a game break down their 'turns' into two elements 1) the role-playing element: (text describing actions and the scene) 2) the gaming element: describing which skills, feats, rules they are using <snip>* reading the game threads gives you an idea of how the games play out. please be patient as what could take 30mins in real life tabletop gaming, could take 2 weeks in online playing. any specific question, please feel free to post them and i'm sure you'll be inundated with advice and help. *deleted a rather long essay about the comparison between online and tabletop RPGing but i realised i was waxing lyrically. |

Thank you for your warm welcome  I would like to know how can I join an adventuring party and with whom and where/how do I have to talk also which parts of the forum should i read to get started and if playing depends on being online at the same time like the rest of the party (which would seem helpfull in such situations as battles or dialogues between PCs) or how often would it be good to check the forum out |

and if playing depends on being online at the same time like the rest of the party (which would seem helpfull in such situations as battles or dialogues between PCs) or how often would it be good to check the forum out i've heard that some people play by internet messaging service and that requires everyone to be online at the same time but is not the same as what most people regard as PbP RPG. instant chat RPG has its own strengths and drawbacks but resembles tabletop RPG the most. the PBP online RPG games tend to be very very slow compared to the pace of tabletop games. most games fall in to their own pattern. some games expect everyone to post once per week, others as often as twice in 24h. in any respect, expect there to be delays... even in games that promise to post every day, you could be online and posting AFTER the DM one day and then only be able to get online BEFORE the DM the following day. if you want a good RPG 'dose' then you need to find another solution. i have noticed that some players decide to play in several games. however quantity soon causes problems with quality as online time tends to be limited causing players to skim or rush through reading previous posts. the transition from tabletop to online RPG is not straightforward but effort and perseverance does pay off. |
