The Nexus.
(OOC)If that was directed at me...there appear to be in the vicinity of a dozen Nexus threads in this subforum, should I just go ahead and check them all or is there perhaps a more specific recommendation?
My sig spoiler has the newbie links to help you get started. Or you can jump straight to the Nexus: Trog's Tavern thread if you want to get into rping right away. Or you can jump into IRC chat and meet us all there.
Hi!
I'm completely new to FFRP, though not to RPing in general. I've been browsing the Nexus threads and think it might be fun to join...
What should I do? Is there any particular convention for new characters, or can I just say "Guy X walks into the tavern" and let it roll from there?
Also, which thread should I start in?
You can do exactly that, in any of the tavern threads. Trog's Tavern is typically the busiest, so you'll get a response soonest there. If you want to dig in to the faqs and stuff a bit more before starting, you can look at the links in my sig, but it's not required. "Xandor walks into the bar..." is perfectly fine. :smallsmile:
Nope! You can if you want, but it's not required.
Hey everybody,
I am back.
I think I'll get around to joining something here.
Any one from the pony threads here?
Hey grif long time know see. Know any good pony artists
What's the best way to get in one of the threads
Newbie advice for the Nexus is in my sig. Stop by our OOC thread, or IRC chat and we'll direct you. :smallsmile:
Greetings from O-SWEET INFERNA, land of the spicysweet. i am Salsacookies, here to partake in your "entertainment". I AM HEA, AMUSE ME!
hamming up aside, and setting up my base character who is ultimately fail, i was thinking of going into a universe like the evil dead, a horror comedy. id like to DM a deadlands game like that sooner or later, but i dont have the books, and i thought this would be fun.
I BID YOU ADO mortals, GOOD DAY!
thank you in advance
We don't have a specifically 'horror comedy' game setting, as far as I know, but the Nexus is always open for characters of that genre. See my signature for how to get started, if you're interested. :smallsmile:
kk, thanks
Us over at theme week have created a ffrp for it. It is open only to people participating in theme week. Just thought I'd tell you guys this in case you see the thread.
Hey, I'm new to FFRP, and would like t know if there are any fantasy setings I could currently join.
Fantasy... fantasy. There are a whole bunch based off of books or shows, and the nexus can be basically anything you want. Just check Happy Turtles signature to get started there. Theme week can sometimes be fantasy, but that is directly connected to the actual theme week, so...
Here I am! With my signature for Nexus newbies! :smallsmile:
So, let's get right into this crazy shindig:
I'm new here, and wanna get straight into rping. Nexus seems the best fit for my character, so if someone could point me there and give me some pointers on how this newfangled "Foe rum are pee" thing works, it would be vastly appreciated!
The lady who posted just above you has a compendium of helpful links in her signature. :smallsmile:
I'm here to start up a Holy Grail War RP, a la Fate/Zero or Fate/Stay Night. I just want to check that this isn't redundant with any ongoing games.
EDIT: It was an absolute flop, and I am a bit disappointed.
I wish to join the Nexus.
Salutations all! I’m brand-spanking-new (paddles optional) to GitP, but FreeForm RPing has long been a favorite pastime of mine. It’s almost a relief to find an entire forum dedicated to it, as the places I used to frequent have mostly dried up.
I’m looking to get involved with anything fantasy or sci-fi oriented, though more realistic fiction is fine too. A good mix of story and action is my personal ambrosia. Any and all suggestions* for active threads fitting those criteria are most appreciated, and I look forward to dropping into the mix soon! Nexus ho!
* No offense to the Herd, but for now I’m avoiding the MLP-oriented stuff
Well, Nexus is a single setting, containing all of the above (including some MLP) simultaneously. Ms. Happy about five posts up in this thread has links in her sig explaining everything if you want to give it a go.
Hello, all!
I've been a fan of OotS for years, and I finally decided to make an account in the forums today because I was feeling nostalgic for the play-by-posting I used to do on a Forgotten Realms fan site. I thought it might be fun to do some PbP again, and what better place to do that than a great community like this one?
Anyway, I’ll probably be joining the Nexus universe in the next few days, as soon as I can get my bearings. :smallsmile:
Greetings and salutations!
Trog's Tavern and the Dancing Fox Inn are both solid locations to introduce a new PC. The former will often times have some kind of zany conflict going on while the latter is a violence-free eatery, so that's a good thing to keep in mind whilst making your choice.
Being the grease trap of the Cosmos, the Nexus allows any sort of PC from any sort of setting. If you don't mind the hodgepodge of insanity it's a pretty neat place!
Thanks. I did see that everything is interconnected, I only put that little disclaimer there because I noticed some threads seemed to be MLP-centric.
Thanks for the suggestions Rebonack. From the sound of things, Trog's Tavern would be the better of the two starting points for me. I do like me some tasty conflict. Maybe with a dash of mint...
As a final question, is it generally preferred to drop off my character bio(s) in the Nexus Character Directory thread first, or can I just jump right in?
