    Advice/Help Group Roleplaying Advice

    In terms of posting order or anything like that, it's something that is typically specified. Either in the rules or the roleplay description. And even then, it's usually for smaller group rps. However, the one time I'd say there is an unspoken order is when you are in direct interaction with 2...

    Experiences What's your ideal group size/makeup?

    Personally, for me it depends on whether I'm running the roleplay or just playing. If I'm just playing then the more the merrier, but I don't really care. But if I'm running, I prefer smaller groups, like max of 5-6 players. Because it's easier for me to run and usually the plots I make are...

    Advice/Help Does anyone know...

    I'd suggest going through the Fantasy section to see if there's anything you like. Or any other section if it peeks your interest. Or the interest check section. Anyway, it'd be pretty easy to tell how far along the roleplays are by their page count/post count. Sorry if I can't suggest...

    Advice/Help How to RP a "Good" character

    In my opinion, it's about motivation. An altruistic paragon is going to be hard to pull off wothout getting bored I think. So set up a good motivation for your character. Why are they doing this? Are they trying to protect someone? Do they idolize a hero and try to become like them? Is being a...

    Advice/Help Im not sure what to do here

    Well, it'd depend on the roleplay. In regards to character info, the author of the roleplay could make a separate thread for character sheets and sign ups. There are usually links in each thread connecting them all. Some people have the sign ups in the roleplay itself, where you post them in...

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    War sycthes are actually a thing. Though they were more of a polearm with a single edged curved blade. Like a spear with a slight curve. But they were mainly used because during peasant uprisings, people couldn't afford actual weapons so they'd re-purpose farming tools. In this case, rotating...

    Anyone else here make/play a lot of child characters?

    I've tried playing child characters and rps revolving around children, like 3 times. All 3 unfortunately failing, mainly due to lack of interest or rather consistent interest. Personally, I think playing a child character, in a setting where it's possible, is interesting. You've got so many...

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    Well, yeah, a voluntary mute. Except there usually isn't a vow. Somehow the character seems to think that yours isn't even worth a few words and usually goes to be full emo in a random corner, most likely paired up with flashbacks of some form of murder, either they did it or witnessed it.

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    I think they mean characters that are perfectly capable of speaking, but choose not to. Probably in an attempt to look "cool" and "mysterious".

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    I'm also a bit bothered by anyone who isn't a teenager attending high school as students. These beings hundreds to thousands of years old who apparently need to attend high school because . . . reasons . . .Amnesia or whatever, if any of my characters find out IC, they will make fun of them. ...

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    On  related note, "my character has every power because they are a witch/wizard" despite being like 16 and never once studying magic.

    I want...

    I'd say, just plan it like a normal rp. Have a group go on a quest for the greater good. The only difference is that in your version, people would actually be able to see the consequences of their actions, unlike in the stories of "heroes" where all the questionable bits are ignored. As for...

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    Oh, I forgot. Characters who are always bored until someone "strong" comes by. The type of character who just murders an entire army with a "bored expression" because "they were too weak". They act as if everything and everyone is such a bothersome burden. Anyone who tries to talk to them are...

    How to create an effective, lasting school RP? And is that genre inherently set up for failure?

    I've made a school rp that lasted well over a year (over 2 years now and it's still going now, but it's become more of a 1x1 with a very stubborn person who's determined to have the last post/obtain the best ending , , , It's me. I'm the stubborn one . . . ), so I can say it's definitely...

    Roleplay Pet Peeves

    Metagaming still remains my biggest pet peeve. Especially when they try to explain why and insist they still know no matter how many holes you poke in it. Like how would you know about when and where character A was going to attack B, by following B around? B had no idea there was going to be a...

    Do You Use Google Docs to write up Posts/Threads/etc?

    Well, I like having multiple story arcs in rps (if they can even live that long) so I use them to keep track of when certain plot points come up and where they overlap. Hm, maybe I should do that as well. I usually did documents like that saved on my computer, but I keep losing them when I...

    Do You Use Google Docs to write up Posts/Threads/etc?

    I use google spreadsheets to plot and keep track of my rps if that counts. Though I've only began using them recently. It would be a good idea to keep track of my rps using google docs so I may start doing that as well. I feel using them would also make it easier to collaborate with co-gms as...

    Worst Roleplaying Experience?

    My worst experience would have to be this one time when I used to roleplay on another site. This one person was determined to ship his character with mine, probably because he couldn't land a girl and mine happened to be the only single girl at the time. His godmodding and metagaming aside, his...
