lately i've been talking to a lot of people who seem to be interested in roleplaying, but either lack confidence in their skills or find the current RPs here a little intimidating. certainly, the average level of writing here is high - which is something i'm personally more than happy with. so... i was wondering.
Do you feel there is need for a specific Beginners' RP? What format do you think would be best?
