Although I have been writing for myself for many years, I got into forum based roleplay about 10 years ago like Altered Tundra. I started playing CyberNations, a Geo-Political Roleplaying game in 2007. After an initial debacle in which my alliance was completely wiped out, I joined the Mostly Harmless Alliance which had its own RP subforum. I role played there regularly with a small group of writers in 2008. One introduced me to Alternate History Roleplay which was an NRP. I started as France and eventually took on the role of Lebanon. I experimented with various sites until I found The Guild about seven years ago. For the most part, I stuck around here. I like the variety you find in RPG. When the server crashed five years ago, I did go to another site for two years, but maintained contact with friends here on RPG.
