Getting started: your first day in Briarmont
Welcome. Briarmont is a roleplay community inside Second Life, and getting in takes less than you would think. This guide is the fast path. The deeper systems each have their own article linked at the end.

Note. You do not need a finished backstory to arrive. Most residents work out who their character is by playing them.
What to do first
Find a place to be. Windjammers and Big Jim's Diner are the easiest rooms to walk into cold, because there is usually someone already in them and nobody expects an introduction. Claim a spot on the public character roll so people can find you. If a quest turns up for your character, follow it: quests are played in the world rather than from a menu, and they are the easiest way to be given somewhere to be.
