Welcome! Always nice to see new faces. The welcome PM you get has some good information in it. The only other advice I can offer for new people is that this forum has a tab system, which is a little different from other RP forums. If you peek into some RPs you will see there is a tab for in-character, out of character, and character sheets - so the whole roleplay is contained in one thread vs. having a separate OOC thread.

Anyway, hope you have fun!
