Learning to play RPGs / Where to Find Players
AnInnocentBystander2049:
I'd be down to try a play by post but I'm as green as can be. Is there a way to learn without ordering the guide? I know the basics but I'm hearing some rumblings that this is different. Any advice from my elders?

Sure. Look at the Spirit of the Century SRD, then find a GM and/or other players willing to help you with the stuff not covered (such as starting point totals, and the actual way stunts work in he DFRPG, both of which are different from Spirit of the Century). The differences, while significant, are nothing a good GM and fellow players han't help you through. You are gonna pretty much be restricted to non-Magic users, though (or at least non-Thaumaturgy users), those rules are too complicated to do without the book.
KOFFEYKID:
Im down with playing a Play by Post game, in fact I've been looking for one for a coupla days now.
Falar:
I'm down for a Play-By-Post as well, and have been keeping an eye out - and I've got a friend who'd come in with me as well. We have some semi-solid character ideas (well, he has one and I am the man of a thousand characters, so I have a few on the top of my head), but neither of us has actually played any Fate based anything. I've owned Spirit of the Century for a while though.
The trouble seems to be more finding a willing game master than finding players...
Personally, I'm really looking forward to the collaborative city-building and the collaborative character creation. I've left my character's final three aspects open for that because that is seriously one of my favorite parts of the system.

i know we don't have a gm, but it looks like we have some players. Does anyone want to set a time to all be online together, and chat about how to play bc i have never rpg'ed before and i have no idea how to start.
I'm in new jersey and almost any night during the week, 6pm-11pm eastern is good with me.
we could either post here or chat on facebook or something
