Ultimately my reason for making this thread is because I am tired of trying to host story ideas that either die off early or cause loss of motivation in myself or players. I'm looking for advice as to what can keep an audience interested. So far all the points I have seen are fabulous and...
You have strong points here and I can relate to all of them. Good characters are some of the reasons why I like to (try) host roleplays. Sure, I have my characters, but seeing the creativity of other people sparks inspiration.
Skill level is a touchy thing for me. I don't want to value someone...
I absolutely enjoyed that, theres so much to say and I can't hardly react to it all. Overall, I am very exciting that you were willing to share that, it's invaluable advice and thought processes.
Your way of world building is not too dissimilar from my own.
1. I start off with the general idea of the plot I am working on and I'll establish the initial setting. For example, I have a story about a mercenary captain who is looking to escape an old world ravaged by pollution and constant...
XD that just goes to show differences in preferred playstyles. I do agree that Worldbuilding is a huge commitment for what may be very little return. However, I've always been a daydreamer, imagining my life in different worlds and scenarios. I love the RPG genre of games where I can be...

I think that's because we are excited about the 'dark side' of things, since we experience a near utopia of sorts, or because we are curious to see how dark it's become and why it's dark and gritty. A story I've been fleshing out for a while is that of a Mercenary company looking to move to a...
Thanks for your reply! I appreciate it!
When I see an idea that makes me excited, usually it's something involving group stuff. My preferred style of RP is groups facing challenges together, with their strengths covering eachother's weaknesses. I've never really done a successful 1x1 rp, so I...
So, I've been making attempts and roleplays for years at this point. Looking to join some, making my own, it's been an exciting journey, albeit a little stagnant.
When I join roleplays, sometimes I'm unsure as how to roleplay. I've got no experience with any tabletop games and therefore I...
Also, it's been slow on the apps. At this point its pretty much a sign up sheet cause only you and 1 other person has given me a sheet. You've gotten all of the @ mentions right?
