Wow! I can't believe i just read that whole thing!! Mind you, it was off and on in a two hour period.

But it's a fnatastic resource you did a REALLY good job on it. SO much info and it's so detailed. And examples and all that. Fantastic! I think I can play now grin

I remember I had one question: IS there any way to tell the difference between a large and small RPG? I mean before it has started and they're inviting players to join. You never know how many people will join. You might join and it turns out to be MASSIVE when in fact you wanted it to be small. Can you opt out before a game starts?

Ree, it's entirely up to you whether you're in or out of a RPG. You're free to leave when you wish. As I've indicated in the GM FAQ, though, it helps to be polite to the GM if you do decide the RPG in question is not for you. One possibility for picking small RPGs as opposed to large RPGs is to ask the GM if he's capping the number of players -- if he is, that obviously indicates that the RPG won't get too massive.

Also, I should make clear if it wasn't already that the FAQ is the accumulation of several different articles by the folks mentioned in the Credits section. Most of it is their words, not mine, though if there is an error in any it should be blamed on me, not them. happy

Thanks a lot! That was a HUGE help and I'm really glad I read that before launching myself into the vast universe of role-playing. grin
