Ronald EvansHello! I'm new to INARA and decently experienced with Elite: Dangerous on XBox and I'm playing more on PC but I was wondering if I wanted to Roleplay with a group in game what the first step would be? Thank you all and good hunting! o7
A good place to start would be to choose one of the location threads (the bar or the docks for example) and read back a few pages. Get an idea for what is going on in others' narratives, and try to see if there is an opening to naturally cross paths with one of those characters without disrupting their existing story arcs.
Or, you could start a story of your own and leave it open-ended for someone to interact with you.
Just try not to manipulate someone's existing arc too much, and try not to speak for anyone else's character if it's avoidable, and you should be good to go.
If you want some dialogue practice first, the 'Banter' thread is just 'in character conversation' with no specific location or actions occurring.
Each location thread has some general and inara-specific etiquette write-ups in the header that you should check out as well.
