Did we just become best friends?
idk uwu did we?
But seriously, it's been a while since I've played a halfling. Now I'm wondering, maybe I should put out a call for an All Halfling game!
I call dibs on the Halfling character.
Probably drunk. Probably sneaky.
One of my favorite characters I ever played was a halfling fighter who enjoyed taking out kneecaps. He enjoyed his smallness because it meant he could get in the middle of the fray and "still have room for a good swing of my trusty longsword"
Which was, as you might expect, not very long.

I'm super down. I haven't played the video game, but I've played the board game. It's bleak as hell, but SO DANG GOOD.

It really depends, tabletop just doesn't see a lot of activity as say casual or advanced.
I see. Are folks looking for tabletop style RPGs? I'm down to DM or play in some.
Everything is quiet in the way that it has always been quiet, with the low hums and thrums of the world. Unchanging, Aetheleos is as it has always been. You pry your eyes open to see fogged glass a few inches away from your nose. The seal releases, and you are carefully released onto a rubber-matted metal floor. Your feet are bare, and as feeling floods into them, you wince as they tingle painfully. As you gather your bearings, you look across the aisle where another person is being deposited to the floor. The only lighting is red, and there is a mechanical wavering to the atmosphere. Distant low sounds like a heartbeat burst periodically into your awareness, far enough that you cannot identify precisely what they are.
This is all you have known, this is all you have ever known, this is all that you know. Is the light comforting? Is the sound ominous? You’re not sure.
To either side of you and your cross-the-aisle partner, a few more individuals touch down on the springy floor. Dead computer screens looming at either end of the antechamber display nothing but the faintest memory: “DNGR: RAD.” The words are burned into the screen like images might have done on an old CRT.
Next to each cold casket that you step from, there is a closet sealed by a clear door. A button labeled “OPEN” seems promising, and upon pressing it, each dazed person is rewarded by the glass opening with a soft pop as the hermetically sealed closet releases its contents. Inside, there are four jumpsuits (one grey, one blue, one orange, and one green) with presumably what must be your name stitched neatly onto the collars as well as numbers along the waistband inside remind you that you are nude, and so getting dressed is a priority. A basic toolbelt hangs from a hook on the wall, and a tiny mirror in the back shows your own unfamiliar and bewildered face to you.
Everything is a fog, and this is all you have known, all you have ever known, all that you know, when a voice comes in through the intercom:
“Good morning,” comes a cheerful ever-so-slightly mechanical voice, a low alto or high tenor. The voice is ambiguous but warm. “Or maybe afternoon? I have no idea what time it is on Earth, to be honest. But you’re awake now, and you’re not supposed to be, but something’s wrong, so I’ve done what I’m supposed to, and woken you up. I think. I only woke up a few billion ticks ago myself.”
As the fogginess begins to fade, the mystery begins.

I am running this RP in the Free RP area first, because I want to figure out what the right depth is for it. I'm planning on running this for a few of my friends eventually, too, but this is fertile testing grounds while that is currently unavailable. Let me know if you have any questions! You may RP in first or third person, I'll roll with it. ^_^

@joonijook Welcome to the Guild, it's nice to see another tabletop rpg fan here.
Are TTRPG folks rare around here?
Without going into detail, my life is absolutely on fire, and so I miss my old go-to hobby of roleplaying. It's been hard for me to figure out how to dip back into PbPRP, but this seems like a good way to start. I'm reminded of the days when I started with Neopets RP forums when I was 9 years old.
I am 31 next month, so that's nearly 22 years of roleplaying in some way, shape, or form, be it through one-on-one PM's, AOL Instant Messenger, MSN Messenger (my preferred format), on forums like this that have space for many types of RP, and forums with dedicated persistent plotlines. I also do tabletop RPG and love to DM. I love creating stories of intrigue for people to explore and poke at.
I'm out of practice with PbPRP. I haven't done it much since 2016 when I started attending a four year university full time. I've since dropped out (remember, my life's on fire (: weeee~) and need things to help occupy my time when not working.
I'd like to dip my toes in with the one-liners/fast RP first, I think, but I definitely used to participate in RPs that included 2000-3000 word posts or more.
Genres I enjoy include general fantasy, soft science fiction (as opposed to hard sci fi), and some romance. I also enjoy fandom specific RPs. DRoP in particular comes to mind. I'm interested in expanding my RP horizons, though, so if you have a suggestion, hit me. :D
