I do agree with all the previous responses. Despite the resurgence of the 80’s into popular culture through shows like Stranger Things it still remains to be a very niche area of interest among the younger generation. A lot of the younger demographic seem to be more interested in what’s current...
As of recently due to watching Guardians of The Galaxy and films like Star Wars and Dune I've been toying with the concept of creating an entirely original Sci-Fi roleplay. I've mainly done fandom roleplays, and only have ever once tried to develop an original idea. It was less about larger...
I start work next week Monday to Friday, your typical 9 to 5 and I was wondering for all you roleplayers who work full time how do you manage to save time for replying to your threads or catching up with friends online? I am also planning to self study and look for better work opportunities. So...
I have an oc written for the marvel verse, and i would like to effectively take the key elements of their marvel verse and craft it for stranger things. however i have found that their stranger things verse is inconsistent and not as well fleshed as their main verse marvel ( see the spoiler...
See I used to do that but like as you said being ADHD has not helped short term memory wise, so I’ve started logging them into sheets so I have all their info in one place. That and using the thread on here for character showcases is also fun cause of the different bbcodes i can use.
In my case not really about irl bands, more so original characters loosely based on these era of bands. However in most cases I do know bandom rps can be similar to K-Pop and Celebrity Roleplays where writers adopt the persona of a famous person and write them as an actual character. An example...
I started rather late ( or early) compared to some people, around 2017 or 2018. So I was 17 or 18 at the time and I intially heard about roleplaying through the Harry Potter fandom. At the time I have no idea what RP meant or what it was. Rather all I knew is that I wanted to write and make...
For me personally in terms of Fandoms I can't really find partners for it would probably be DC as well as Bandom particularly ones related to both 80s and 70s rock. I'm honestly surprised that DC in particular is one that isn't that popular fandom wise especially with the love people have for...
Having done both, I find that having some structure and narrative to follow really helps me to focus and narrow down waht to write duirng the course of the roleplay. For me I enjoy having a specific story and end goal to reach as that helps motivate me to keep writing. I also find that it...
I honestly haven't been at the point where I hide my discord status or like any online status of mine. But I have met friends who have had that experience, where they would have to turn off their statuses to offline just so people won't pester them and as annoying as it may be I also feel that...
It seems so, either that or these people have not learned the meaning of patience. patience means waiting for a while, not like messaging back every hour or so after you agreed to wait. also yeah, i find that OOC talking is just a nice break and also just I enjoy befriending my partner and...
So I've been roleplaying for the latter part of five years, and I don't know if anyone ever felt like this but have you ever found moments where RP feels like a job or an obligation over a hobby. What I mean by this, is that at least for me I've met partners who pressure me to write everyday or...
So I’ve seen notion used a couple of times for like discord rp if I recall I met someone whi had their character done out entirely in Notion. Though my question is it as easily accesible as docs or? But I do like the customizability aspect of notion with templates though. I’ve never heard of...
that’s smart, i feel like knowing myself doing a comprehensive doc would take some time, especially with the amount of characters i hoarde. although maybe one day
Have you found this helps with your ability to improvise and keep your creativity flowing or? I personally have a difficult time coming up with my OCs on the spot, and just sticking with them. Especially since they’re blank slates and I have no clear vision in mind. With old characters, I’m more...
I honestly can relate to this, I don’t feel any sense of fullfilment making new OCs for a roleplay especially when I already have so many other preexisting OCs who don't get to see the light of day. Having a few go to characters seems much less daunting than making a new one every time at least...
As roleplayers and writers in general we experience this problem a lot in our lifetime where we make many original characters and have to come up with bios for them. Now my question is as you’ve aged and progressed as a roleplayer what are your preferred ways of tracking and keeping tabs on how...
so when i first started writing and roleplaying i had intially started off using drawn faceclaims from cartoons , or artists that i liked . but now as i've gotten older i started using realistic faceclaims based off of famous actors , models , or influencers . some people may find using real...
So we all heard of those players. The players that people go around warning you about or the players you hear did so and so thing. But my question is when someone warns you about a specific player will you:
a.give them benefit of the doubt
b. judge them and paint them as a villain
For me...
