Maybe you went nuclear and raged at someone, or ghosted a great RP and later regretted it, or maybe you abandoned a project you were running as a GM, only to realize your mistake later? Perhaps you have an embarrassing moment like repeatedly mis-naming another character, like calling Steven...
"Yeah well," the man mumbled in response. "I wasn't born yesterday, you'll wear him down until he tells you the name."
He smiled imagining them around Kwame like buzzing flies. "Give us the name Kwame! The name! Give us the name Kwame!"
Despite her taunts he would avoid that mistake. "While...
Overly controlling GMs with strict rules for character creation, narrow boundaries for lore and assigning roles to the cast. I hate the idea of being forced into a specific character within narrow lore constraints. It seems one sided like the GM wants me to populate their strictly monitored...
"Why should Yua worry? I only have a couple years before my brain turns to mush, might as well help while I can!" He leaned on his cane and smiled as snakes swarmed the warband. The men danced like fools spinning and leaping from the biting mirages, spears twirling and slashing through thin air...
He contemplated the woman on their trip across town, a malaise gripped him and she lingered on his mind, a sense of dread for his place in the world. That more existed beyond the known universe, a gnashing maw of demons and devils with bile oozing from their mouths, eyes burning for everything...
They were accompanied by wondrous bugs bigger than birds, though perhaps wondrous wasn't the word they would use. Indeed they were gigantic and many bore long barbed stingers, venomous mandibles and colorful patterns — nature's way of saying please leave my lawn. They eyed the stomping apes who...

Thanks for the positivity and taking an interest in the RP.
It's about a group of people who were gathered for the Great Games of Nye, a tournament to entertain the masses of a morally dubious city named Nye. There was a terrorist attack and the cast survived the weapon used to kill...
I run one story and almost nothing else, perhaps membership in one story that isn't mine? But that's it. I have a commitment to my members and if I write other things, I won't have time for my primary RP. It's hard to resist offers I've received and ideas that have crossed my mind, but my main...
The obsession with school & academy RPs with people who graduated years ago. I understand why a 16 year old would seek a fantastical version of their own humdrum existence, but as an adult, when people look back on their school days, don't they see how stupid and pointless 90% of their worries...
"Thanks ain't enough mate," Zak was almost incomprehensible over the roaring sea, her teeth bared as ice advanced in massive waves, white chunks punching through the deck like fists. He smacked one away as it flew towards his face, barely avoiding a lethal blow.
"Oh wonderful," Zak grunted...
Huracan was piecing this together like a puzzle in his mind. They were snakes from a ship and crashed into a sight, but how did that make any sense? Was someone punched in the eye? Were they ships from a site that crashed into a snake? He must've lost something in the translation process — or...
I once made an island RP where a plane crashed in the ocean, characters come ashore and must survive. I made a map with 60 points of interest leading to plots about lost civilizations and dangerous tribes, lots of magical realism inspired by Lost. It was gonna be awesome. There was gonna be...
He clicked his teeth hearing what Anya said, how naive to think Hannah wasn't already imprisoned, poked and prodded by well intentioned men heading to hell. He offered a sympathetic smile and slowly shook his head, meeting her eyes with sorrow in his own.
"Oh, my dear Anya." His words dripped...
I was discussing mental health disorders, why are you ignoring that and arguing a point I never made? Also, considering how this is an unserious hobby that doesn't have real stakes, if you have serious anxiety to a point where you can't even participate, because the very thought makes you...
People get excited for ideas but are too lazy to see them through, especially when the expectations are high and there's a big workload. This website has seen a downturn as the hobby has become less popular, so you have a higher chance of getting screwed when that happens. Because if say, 60% of...
