Hi! I've been playing TTRPGs for years, but I was only recently introduced to the PbP format. The first game I ever played was Stars Without Number (Revised), and since then I have played Other Dust, Silent Legions, Blades in the Dark, Burning Wheel, DnD 5E, Veins of the Earth, Esoteric Enterprises, and a number of homebrewed systems. Just to get this out of the way, I'm not a huge fan of DnD. My dream is to be good enough at playing these games to be able to play a long campaign of Burning Wheel, but I'm not there yet.
I discovered the PbP format very informally, first when my friend and I homebrewed possibly the most chaotic system I've ever encountered (when a new element of play was introduced, we rolled a d8 to determine the game system it would come from). We acted as cooperative GMs over google docs, using the Mythic GM Emulator when we weren't sure. Later on, I joined a discord server for a SWN West Marches Campaign, and there was a text channel for in-character chat. There were no rules systems implemented, but we got a lot of cool roleplaying done, and it helped me build my favorite character I've ever played.
I've been working on my skills and comfort as a player and GM, and I was thinking it might be a good idea to get involved in more formal PbP spaces. I recently created a homebrewed setting and rules supplement for playing Worlds Without Number in the world of Legend of Zelda, and while I'd eventually love to run a long in-person campaign, I thought I'd pitch it here and run it by post if there's interest (I'll give that pitch its own post)

Re: Hello! Greetings! Introductions!
Sounds like a chaotic, but fun game!
We've got some of those here
Tool around and see how we roll, and jump on in. Be well and be welcome!

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
