Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum, I just started playing recently and I really liked it!
RPG mechanics exist to give structure and consistency to the game world, true, but at the end of the day, you’re fighting dragons with algebra and random number generators.
Get a feel for the boards, don't be afraid to ask questions, and watch out for the hellhounds. They've been a bit needy lately since their favorite toys wound up burnt to a crisp.
