How Did You Start Role-Playing?

[RustyFable]

Hello Everyone,

Allow me to express my sincerest greetings to you all. As a new member of the community, but not to role-playing I'm curious. How do you all start role-playing, I'll post my own after the first or second replies.

Well now in my book there are 2 kinds of roleplaying so I'll address both. First off when I was a kid one of my friends bought a copy of Dungeons and Dragons. Also one day I walked in a shop and saw this thing called The Lord of The Rings Adventure Game which was another roleplay game. I can't really remember which one I played first but it was both of them at around a similar time. So that was how I got into pen and paper. For ages I didn't know you could also roleplay online but then I stumbled on a website that had a section for play by post roleplays. It kinda seemed like a cool thing to get involved in and they had a game in progress so I asked if I could join it.

In my Freshman year of highschool I oped to try online schooling and at the time I didn't have any friends in my area, or online. So I decided to try RPing. I found this weird, quirky website that I wasn't sure was for me, but sure enough I discovered... it wasn't. Then I found RPA and I haven't left since. I met some amazing people and some that I truly consider friends. My writing skills have also improved which is great because I used to be completely horrible. I don't know why everyone put up with me. Now they adore me so I suppose my evil plan is working.

I suppose it's my turn now then;

I've been writing for about as long as I can remember, it's one of the things that I enjoy the most in the world. There's just something about creating an entirely different space with just words and your imagination that is relaxing. I used to just come up and get out some paper and write whatever I happened to be thinking about at the time. I did this until I was, I think a Freshmen in high school when I joined my first site and started to role-play. The site itself Wasn't overly fancy, but I had a good time. After a while, though I grew out of the site and have been bouncing around from site to site for the past half-decade before I ended up here.

I've been writing since I was old enough to write. Might be short stories or poems. Rarely ever shared them; but, I still have plenty of them in a box if there is ever a time I'd want to reminisce. As for actually doing in-depth writing with others, I was in my teens and happened to come across the Hab's chat site..which was actually a hockey site; but, at that time most people were just chatting. Then we'd start writing stories which had nothing to do with hockey. Met some great friends there. Over time, I found people that loved the same things I do writing wise and the rest is history. Though I don't write much anymore for various reasons, I'd like find kindred souls and maybe try again.

I started out on DeviantArt, then Tumblr, both were short-lived. And then I heard that there are Roleplaying sites. I signed up immediately to some other site. Then I found this place. It's nice.

Well, that isn't very dramatic.
