Welcome to the Roleplaying section of the Barrow Downs!

You’re invited to visit our two sections listed below:

GAME PLAYING (you’re here now )

• Explore some of the RPG’s already in play and get a taste of how games are played here on the Barrow-Downs. If you see one you’d like to join, put a post on that game’s Discussion Thread asking the Facilitator of the game if it’s possible to play. Many of the games are open to taking on new players. You’ll find the Facilitators and the other game players eager to help you as needed.
