introduction New here! and new to dnd!

[The Reanimator]

Hello! I'm Rusty :D! as you can tell from the title, I am new here and of course, DnD! I haven't done a lot of research (unsure really where to start) so I'm joining the community to hopefully get some advice on where to start or places I can go to look into the game more!
anything and everything is welcome and appreciated!

(apologies if anything is off writing is not my strong suit)

Well, you'll get plenty of practice writing around here! A few sentences at a time, at least.

Welcome! What you've got here is a Play-By-Post RPG site. PbP is a slow but immersive way to experience RPGs. It's convenient, and you can easily play in multiple different groups. While not every game goes the distance, some continue on for months or even years, which can be hard to do with over-the-table games.

Find a game ad that looks interesting and apply!

Welcome to the Weave, Rusty. Don't sweat being a newbie to the TTRPG hobby or to the PbP medium - we all had to start somewhere.

Anyhow, in case you haven't seen it yet, here's a link to our Baldr User Guide, which contains several handy links that you will likely find useful. We do things a touch differently than some other sites, where we have game ads posted and prospective players apply. You'll want to swing over by our Game Ads section to check that out! Every GM does it a little differently, so check the campaign info and forum for the exact details.

We support a very wide variety of systems here, ranging from good ol D&D (of all editions) to Pathfinder to Shadowrun to Fate to PbtA to OSR to, well, I don't think there's a system we don't support or have players for. So if you spot something outside of your norm that catches your attention - go ahead and apply for it anyways. There is much to be gained by going outside of the box, after all.

Also, I recommend getting chatty through out the forums or even dropping by our Discord Channel, especially if you have questions. Just watch out for those welcoming harpoons - they're harmless... mostly 😂

If you have any questions, let us know! Don't be afraid to ask, either - we do our best to help people out.
