The way I understand it, it's actually pretty easy to get on, or in, or whatever. You just take a character from a fictional world and he gets plunked into the game. I don't think there's an involved storyline behind it -- its feel is a lot like "Doctor Who" with the time travelling and continuing main characters, but that's it otherwise.

I demand admittance! Err, please? 
Man, Exiles is a game I'd love to get in on, but it's so huge and it's been going on for so long that I can't really figure out how I'd be able to join in comfortably.
Come right on in! We're not picky with people who want to participate.
As far as Exiles is concerned, I have joined and left that game (read: abandoned without warning) at least twice, and I'm back in for a third go. It's intimidating, but one way to get around that is to throw yourself in the deep end.
It's like getting a needle or pulling off a bandage - the build up is the bad part.

What's up with newbies?
Nothing. They're new. They're learning, so are we. So how do we give them help and welcome them to the fold?

First off, they're the ones that need to take the first step and be willing to learn. I talked this over with someone, and I think a "Newbies, ask your questions here" thread is a necessary asset to the RPR forum, and should be stickied throughout all three RPFs, because some newcomers may not be aware of the resource forum's... resources.

That's a good idea; I'm wondering if we should start campaigning for that.

So, Beast, are you going to post that idea you showed me any time soon? I think most people would have a few things to say about it.

Okay, Peng, I was just waiting because I didn't want to double post.
The idea I wanted to propose was a thread similar to the LCT(Lightsaber Combat Thread) where people go to just battle out. I alway liked the idea of lasertag and other arcade type games, i.e capture the flag, battle royale, WAR, etc. Pretty much like a battle thread.
Ex.Say you wanted to have a game of 2 on 2, 2 clone commandos vs 2 clone commandos, or Jedi, Sith, whatever. Well we assign teams, you know like a game of laser tag or something, and we RP for just fun.
As you can see in the LCT, that it wouldn't be serious unless people wanted it to be, I'm talking like 1 liners and such.
This isn't just for battles like this, it could be galactic battles with entire fleets, or a simple 1 clone commando vs another.
This idea is in its infancy so input would help alot.
That is all.
Beast

Seems too complex to be a game made for people to hop in and out at their own accord like in the LCT.
Also, you say "RP just for fun" as if that's something out of the ordinary. Why else would anyone do it?

I'm not sure about too complex...you could have battles between AT-ATs, Fighters, Cruisers, all that, and have it totally RPed. It would require actual planning, yes, but if it's starfighters, then you wouldn't.
It needs work, but it's a good idea.

Honestly - does no one want to discuss anything? Feel free to bring up your own ideas and topics, as this is as much mine as it is yours.

Well, would anyone like to share their thoughts and/or opinions on the idea of a Cyberpunk RPG? Or, while we're at it, perhaps a Steampunk RPG? I've got some ideas in mind for both genres, and would very much appreciate any suggestions on which one to tackle first.

All too easy.

I will always vote for Victorian (or even Edwardian) era Steampunk.
