In reply to nevermore98 (msg # 1):
Welcome!
You are most definitely not alone! I, too, work a wacky schedule that makes it difficult to get together across a table regularly, so RPoL was my best way forward. You will doubtless find other kindred spirits here, too.
If you have experience DMing, you'll want to read the
GM Help to get up to speed on the toolkit available to you. There are a lot of features to enhance the PBP experience here. Figuring out how they work and using them to best advantage can really make a difference for your games.
Most of the game systems you mention have a considerable following here, so if you put in the time to develop a game it should attract players. Check out
Game Proposals, Input, and Advice when you want to float a game idea before beginning development (to gauge interest) or to get feedback to help refine an idea.
Be sure to read up on RPoL's
Adult and
Mature Content Policies before fielding a game. Deciding whether a game will have these types of content is one of the first things you will do when creating it.
There's tons to see and do here, so dig in!
