Forum Newb Saying Hey and asking PbP Questions

Greeting to all,

Rather new to the forum thing so please bear with me as I take my baby steps.

I'm a 40-mumble player who has plenty of time to devote to a game. Truth be told, I'm hoping to find one that will accept me here. :) Been looking around various places and I'm having problems Finding a good Dungeons & Dragons / Sword & sorcery type game that will let me join. Maybe its just me?

When I ask about joining a game the answer is always: “The game is going on now and we have to many players as it is. Try back in six months or so maybe.” - Nice. Understandable, its a fun hobby I know, but...

And (This might be My problem) When playing a PbP I like to have a more exotic race (Minotaur, Centaur fighter, mage etc) if possible. I Can play as a regular staple (Human, Elf, Dwarf, And so on, by the numbers) but I would prefer to have a bit more Roll play range. - I haven’t found Any games that will allow for more adventurous races (or alternate gender, come to think about it) Can’t quite figure out why but it seems a shame and limiting. I had a minotaur fighter mage once...ahhh the good ol' days...

Anyway, can anyone suggest a place for me to go (Hmmm, maybe I should rephrase that…) Can anyone suggest where I might visit here first to see about getting included in a game - without maybe offending the folk involved by my likely dumb questions (as you can see. LOL)

a respectful thanks to all! :)

To bad I am not taking more players right now - your choice of character type alone would fit in (we have 2 Tieflings right now and a Weredragon, so something more exotic would be interesting to).
Try the Players wanted section as well as the search engine. Also can try the 'looking for GM' section to see if anyone is willing or able to take you on.

Pff, where's the fun in always playing the human-ish races all the time? Don't worry, it seems like you find that about as boring as I do - I always like to play the more "interesting"-looking races too :D.
Welcome to RPOL anyway...I'm sure you'll find a game that suits you sooner or later :).

Shado is right that using Players-Wanted, which is where GMs are actively seeking players is probably your best bet. If you use the Search feature, be sure to use the "Only active games requesting players" setting.

OooF! Baby fall down. go BOOM!

Yikes but bad timing on my part! Still, just the fact the (A Couple of) people didn't come at me carrying torches for Suggesting such a thing heartens me!

Thanks to all three of ya! I will look around as advised. This is a-gonna be fun I think.
