Putting yourself in the shoes of a Star Army® character can provide a creative output and a fun contrast to everyday life. | ||

- | * “I love that Star Army has such a fleshed-out, | ||
- | * “Star Army is my little get away from the norm. I can enjoy being creative with settings provided and adding my own flavor to those settings with the characters I put into them. It's a way for me to vent my mind and have fun with some like-minded people.” | ||
- | * “Star Army is a breathing universe. Most RPs tend to stagnate, and what happens in one part of the world never affects the rest of it. In Star Army, everything' | ||
- | * “From a Role Player' | ||
- | * “I like the detail and high quality plots that GMs strive for. Going above and beyond to make sure everyone still has fun. But mostly I like the sense of community that site has. I feel like I could get on the site and just about anyone for help and if they can't help me then they can tell me who to talk to.” | ||
- | * “Your character can make a lasting impact on a game world filled with other players.“ | ||
- | * ““What I love about Star Army? Hmm it must be the friendly atmosphere and the really nice reception I got as a new member to the site. Everyone seems to be caring for the new members and wants to help them get settled in and get something started.” | ||
- | * “Diversity, | ||
- | * “I had never participated in any sort of RP before, but the gritty realism and massive context of worlds like Warhammer 40k had always intrigued me, precisely because of that expansiveness. But finding a community which itself was creating that content, expanding the universe on its own rather than via professional writers, was incredible. Well, it was incredible enough to convince me to give RPing a shot, something I'm very thankful for." | ||
- | * “Star Army has an extremely elaborate setting with lots and lots of details. No other site has the amount of tech and as in-depth of a storyline and it simply makes SARP unique.” | ||
- | * “You will find no better an original setting, no more a dedicated core of players, and no more talented a group of writers than Star Army.” | ||

- | Star Army is my passion. Growing up I became fan of science fiction through reading books and watching Star Trek. When I was in high school I was introduced to anime and roleplaying games and started running games with my friends and family. In 2000, I ventured into the world of online roleplaying and web design and created a character that became the seed of the Star Army universe. By 2003, the community around that universe had grown to the point we needed our own website, so I created StarArmy.com. Since then, the Star Army community and universe have grown and matured, becoming the internet' | ||
