**You approach a wide-eyed mouse behind a makeshift desk, scribbling furiously with a small stick of charcoal. He looks up from his parchment at you and grins.** Hello! You've just joined DAB, eh? Well step inside, we all want to meet you!
***********
Welcome to DAB! Go ahead and make a post, introduce yourself! We don't bite.... well, most of us. >_>

**A young grey wildcat smiles a little shyly.** Hi, there. I'm Madeline. I've been a huge fan of DAB forever, but I only just now joined. I've been a member of the Redwall MUCK for years, though, so the DAB RP style is gonna be a bit of an adjustment. **Madeline cringes.** This is for OOC stuff, right? I can redo this reply if it's supposed to only be IC.

Welcome Madeline! Glad to see someone making a character that isn't an otter or a squirrel! Hope you enjoy your time here! (I'm pretty sure this is OOC, but hybrid IC OOC lets you introduce twice at once!)

Hey there, welcome! It's always nice to see a new face around DAB; our newest active member right now has been Celebes and he's practically getting elderly now! We're all too ancient and creaky to be stealing cakes anymore, lol Though, out of curiosity, I can't remember what MUCK stands for. Have you been part of the Redwall RP scene before? Also, if you're curious on where to get started, everyone would be more than happy to help!

Ha, I only have 1 squirrel char, over on the RWMUCK. Dochas (aka Squirrelbabe), the chaotic DAB Ringleader The DAB became a thing on the MUCK when a DABer from here joined us over there, and when she left, I took over because running crazy Dibbuns making problems for the adults is funny. I've never had an otter; never really crossed my mind as something to make **shrugs** I have cats IRL (I call myself a crazy cat lady), so being a kitty seems like a logical choice. I've actually been sitting on this char for years and only just yesterday got around to making her. MUCK stands for Multi User Character (or possibly Chat?) Kingdom. We have a forums where we log our RPs, but the RWMUCK is actually like a chat room. Everyone you're RPing with is live right there and then; you have to be able to sink a couple of hours into it at a time in order to participate in any RP. I joined on March 1st, 2012, and have been an active member ever since, logging on at least 1 day a week to RP. (I did not mean to have my ROC joining anniversaries be the same day, but it happened, and I think it's hilarious.) Thanks for the welcome! I'm happy to be here. I look forward to the RP (especially as a college student; I have less time to get on the MUCK (even though I do make time once a week to do so because it's important to me) and my college is stupid and has a block on their WiFi that prevents me from connecting to the MUCK chat room server thing). And hopefully I'll be able to knock out a scetch of Madeline here soon....

It's nice knowing that DAB has had an influence in other parts of the ROC! I've done some Dungeons and Dragons stuff in the same chatroom style format of the MUCK style, it sounds like, over Discord... But even then, I think I kept reverting back to a more DAB style, lol. In the spirit of introducing ourselves, though, we probably should! I'm Crystal, most folks call me Crys, and I've been around DAB since June of 2005 (so, since I was 10, lol). I've always tended to show up and cause some chaos for a while and disappear again; I always intend to just say hello, but someone talks me into a couple years of activity instead! I'm a bit of an ongoing joke about the old DAB style; around 2008 or so, DAB saw a bunch of us start doing much longer form prose RP rather than the quicker stuff, and I've just... Not been able to ever turn it off ever since. We make word limits for me. (And just ask Zeke, it isn't just a DAB problem for me. Any writing I pick up as a passion project I can - and will - go overboard with, whoops). You've also joined at a bit of a transition period for the site! We used to have a head Moderator, the Ringleader, but since DAB is a much smaller community anymore, it doesn't really need that level of serious oversight. We've been working on some new ideas for rule changes, some layout tweaks, and new content, so please feel free to chime in with any ideas you might have! Fresh eyes are always super helpful, since things that aren't super intuitive we may have just gotten used to over time. As for site stuff, if you want to get into doing some forum RP, we currently have the Quick format RP The Pommel Problem ongoing, or if you have your own idea you'd like to go with, you're more than welcome! If you'd like to try something different to get acclimated, you might make a Spar RP (basically just what we call a 2-person RP, so it's just you and a partner). I'm sure a bunch of us would be racing to take the duo spot; having new folks around is fun!

Hello all~
Can't introduce myself IC yet as I have yet to decide on a character but I couldn't resist to Add-A-Line and suggest a name for the bloomin' season o' spring.
And add my darling kitty as avatar because the standard anonymous one is honestly more terrifying than the monster under a dibbun's bed! (That's why they're against bedtime, right? To escape the monster?)

Welcome Meow!
Wow, a jump start on activities before you even picked out a character name? Most excellent! Looking forward to see who you choose to create!

Oh wow, hello Fyri! We've been in a bit of a drought lately (quarantine has hit everyone here pretty hard I think!), so it's extra exciting to see all these new faces! ❤ The activity has us all in a flurry, lol! And yeah, the default avatar that Proboards assigns doesn't mesh well with the aesthetic of DAB. ^^; As with Madeline, please let us know if there's anything you need help with; I think people are checking in extra frequently right now due to the influx of new members, and we would be happy to help! Out of curiosity, though, are the three of you (Fyri, Madeline, and Armel) all from the MUCK community, or did you find DAB through somewhere else?

I'm DoraRose on the RWMUCK. Thought I should throw that out there if any of my fellow newbies came from over there.
Someone on a bunch of the Redwall Facebook things has been promoting the ROC, so maybe that's part of the sudden influx of members. **shrugs**

Not part of the MUCK (didn't even know what it was until reading it here actually) nor Facebook. I got here through good ol' fashioned mouth-to-mouth (keyboard-to-keyboard? chat-to-chat?) promotion!

Hey guys! I'm Rover. I was actually a forum member way back in 2009, just saw a Facebook post about the forum and got nostalgic.
