Roleplaying game Question

Post Reply New Topic

I am new to roleplaying games. I guess in the day of internet, board games with imagination is something difficult to find people interested in playing. In my attempt to learn more about rpgs. I have found websites for meet ups, however I don't really know enough or find anyone for that matter who is willing to teach the ends and outs of it all. So here is my question. Is there a place where you can play a DnD like game on the internet that would teach a novice and where you could play a game like DnD online as if you were playing in person? Please, I know really nothing about this and I am new to it. I find when I ask anyone questions about rpgs they have been playing for years and talk in terms that it is like a foreign language to me. I realize for them playing the game with me would be like Kobe Bryant playing basketball with a toddler. In other words, I need it really dumbed down. Thanks

Nope, don't know any, but nothing's wrong with playing other people in a place like forums.

Hey, if you find any interesting anime rpgs, come find me. Here's my card. *hands over card* (I'm just being silly )

Not that I know of.

The most common way to learn is to first buy the core rulebooks and some polyhedral dice, invite a couple of friends, roll up some characters, and start playing. That's how I did it. Each session took from 1 to 3 hours.

The first session is usually taken up with rolling up characters. This can be an involving process, and many players have dozens of characters that they've "tuned" for different types of adventures.

Currently, my game is Traveller, by Marc Miller. It's billed as "Science-Fiction Adventure in the Far Future", and takes place in an interstellar empire (the "Third Imperium") about 3500 years into the future. You can google "Spinward Marches" for more details.
