I'd really like to get into tabletop roleplays and I need a tremendous amount of help. I know there is a website called Roll20 where almost all online tabletop games happen but I'd love to have a friend here help me out with the ones that are available here. I went into the interest checks link but from the looks of it, it hasn't been that active except the roleplays that are currently in progress. I'm a beginner and the only experience I had was when I played a very minor role for Dungeons & Dragons years and years ago but I couldn't enjoy it as much as I liked because someone had to help me through the whole thing... which I still feel bad for.

If anyone could buddy up with me and show me the ropes, I would be grateful!

Thanks.

@Su YinGetting a tabletop running on this site isn't the easiest thing to do. Mainly because most people use Interest Checks as a launching pad to go to skype or another service. Which is why there's not a lot of activity. If you'd just like to be shown how to do a tabletop, I'd be more than willing to set something up with you. (E.G. filling out character sheets, rolling for stats, doing turns, etc.) I've done a few different systems (Fate, DnD, Star Wars, etc) that I can walk you through. If you're looking for a flushed out campaign; well, I can't quite help you there. I just don't have the time to set up/run one.

@Su Yin
Mahz also just implemented a dice roller (see front page, top right — Still beta) so tabletops should start to pick-up in activity.

There are a few table top RPers here and most are more than willing to help. @Shorticus gave me some food for thought once when I was pitching ideas for a roleplay and how it might work better under a table top format due to the randomness that can occur.

From that, I gathered that not all table top RPs have to be elaborate. The dice are only used to judge the possible outcomes so it's more predictable and planned.
