My girlfriend and I are both interested in getting started with RPGs. Neither of us ever have, but we're both familiar with "what" it is and "how" one plays. Are any of these games total-beginner-friendly? (Also, I'm already pretty familiar with basic mini painting, but my GF might be interested in a class).
 

*meep!*

Writing? Is Ninjacat an author?

*hides*

*peeks out*

Um, yes? Though most of what I've written is pure fluff, for entertainment purposes only. Uhhh... ..most of it might be found "offensive" by the less liberal, lol. Though it's all good practice; I definitely feel I've improved my craft in the last year. I've proven to myself in the last few weeks that I can churn out several thousand words a day despite working full time, so I AM hopeful to complete my novel in the (relatively) near future.

I also helped write Reidzilla's RPG, Tales of Wyn D'mere, including the introductory narratives *pimp, pimp*

*pokes Reidzilla* provide a link, you! I've no idea where it is, lol.

I can't speak for the other events but I usually focus more on fun and role-play than rules. None of my players will be required to bring any books to the table. I will be more than willing to accept novice players that are interested in exercising their improvisation skills. Just look for the ‘Zilla inside. :)

Sorry Ninjacat, the site died many moons ago. I had it up on RPGNOW.com until they purged the free section and required a vendor payment to host a free product. I never got around to setting up a free host site so people could access it.

I ran it two Gamedays ago but only Painfully and two of our old friends played. :( If there is an interest, I will send it to any of the Gamedayers that ask. It’s a 10meg file though so don’t ask unless you can receive it. The more interest I get, the more motivation I have to write the second edition! :D

Don't sell yourself so short. Your stuff is better that most of the current trash on the shelves. Plus, that fantasy epic of yours is nearly two trilogies long as it is. Once you polish the first book up and sell it, you can worry about how to finish the story later. Hey, it works for Robert Jordan. I doubt he has any idea how to wrap up the wheel of time. :)
 

Another welcome!

Hi typo (and girlfriend). Welcome to the boards. I know that if my game wasn't filled up, I would welcome anyone to play.

I'm sure all of the DMs would be more than happy to bring in new gamers.


Peace and smiles :)

Another donation

Bastion Press just came through for us again. Jim Butler has donated 24 copies of The Forge. (Looks like a great chance to learn about the campaign world.)
 

Well, the two copies of Tome of Horrors II have been dropped off to Curt's able hands yesterday.

(And I snagged some new dice while I was there!)

Oops. Correct, Joe made the donation last night. Thank you Joe.
