• Preface

Let us be the first to welcome you to the OpenRPG family.

This software takes you to realms you have never dreamed of, with people whom you will soon meet. OpenRPG is designed by this community for you. Since we know everyone doesn't play one type of role playing game (RPG), virtually any RPG can be played using this software. Each part was designed with you, the user in mind.

This product is designed to let everyone around the world join in roleplay together in a RPG of their choice. As such, OpenRPG is not just an online chat program. OpenRPG contains tools such as maps, character sheets, dice, miniatures, and much more to help each group play and enjoy the passion that has survived decades.

As an ever evolving product, user suggestions and even user code has lead the products success. We sincerely believe you will love the product as much as we do. We love it so much, it's free! That's right. This software is released as open source and distributed under the GNU/GPL license.

Should you wish to suggest a new feature, or even help with the next version of OpenRPG, feel free to visit our website www.openrpg.com and join our discussions with the public.

Once again, welcome to our family!
