Rosemary,

Welcome to the Downs! We're glad you're interested in RPGs. The first step is to develop a character and post in one of the Inns, either in the Shire or Rohan. The next step is to join another RPG, and become familiar with the rules of gaming. You do this by reading the discussion threads, and seeing when a new game goes up asking for characters. We have one new game in the Shire now--Holiday in the Sun-- and I believe Rohan also has a new game up--Search for the Book.

After that, you can begin to think of developing a proposal on your own, either from a seed thread in the Shire, or on your own in Rohan. The explanatory threads at the very beginning of each Inn will tell you something about the guidelines for the Downs and how to become a game founder.

Essentially, it is a process that you take step-by-step as you become more comfortable with the writing and all the intricacies of gaming.

I'm Cami Goodchild, and one of the Innkeepers in the Shire. We hope to see you around.
