Different to sitting around a table and rolling dice? Well, in a way for sure. If you miss the clattering shapes, we've got a whole section for Tabletop style roleplays though!

If we take the broadest look at it, you have arrived at a play-by-post roleplaying forum. Here people roleplay through collaborative writing, but that much could probably be derived from the general idea of mashing roleplay and forum together in the intention of handling roleplaying on said forum. The games that are not in tabletop usually don't use dice: People just go with what seems appropriate. Not that different, just with less game mechanics (and randomness). Some like it, some prefer to stick with the more gamey approach.

Anyhow, before I babble your ear off Dani, welcome to the guild! If you've got more questions, you could check out our [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/150081-a-new-users-guide-to-the-guild/ooc]New User's Guide[/url] and/or [url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/163267-fundamental-rules-of-the-guild/ooc#post-4291608]our rules[/url], they might help. Or they might not, in which case you can ask pretty much anyone here! My PM inbox is open, for example!

Again, welcome [@Majiukku]! I'm ending this here before I go off on another wall of text.
