About the Forum
In case you didn't know, RPG stands for 'role playing game,' meaning you take the role of a character that you make up, and have him/her interact with other characters in an imaginary world. It's pretty geeky, but I don't really care. :P 'Interact' is a bit of a boring word. You can just talk and socialize, or have your character make a few enemies, if he's an evil type of person. ^_^ Basically, it's like a improvised play that never really ends, or a novel that's written by many people that doesn't finish.
There are two ways that you can RP (roleplay) on Delphi. You can make adventure posts and flex your literary muscles on the messageboard, and people will join in and post in your adventure. The other way is to join one of the chatrooms that each forum has, where you can talk, hang out, or fight with other people's characters in real time.
I think that just about covers the basics of the RPG concept, so here's a link to my favorite forum on Delphi.com:
The Golden Lion Inn and Tavern
The Golden Lion was set up by a friend of mine, and this is where I got started. I am a co-manager there.It's a very friendly place with a great peaceful atmosphere. All the info you need is contained on the main page, with links to rules and info about the moderators.
Okay, now you're done with this boring page! Go look at the cool stuff!
