I think the roleplay discussion and advice forum could do with a "Question" prefix because sometimes I just want to ask an open question and I'm not looking for "help/advice" which is what would be closest suited prefix right now.

I'm interested to find inspiration for my own setting I'm creating and would like to know what your favorites are. It could be an established setting, like a fictional universe or a historic period or just a type of setting that you prefer but not specific. I'm not looking for plot themes here...

I find myself constantly changing the filters while viewing a forum to sort by the first message instead of the last message. Is there a way to change this so my filters always default to this setting? Otherwise, I would like to suggest that feature. (Looking at threads in their chronological...

The PbT (Play-by-trait) System is a very simple dice system that is designed for play-by-post roleplaying where the narrative is the main focus and intent. I know some people hesitate to play dice games, but just follow me here, this is extremely simple. Why create this system? The...

I have the habit of browsing Wikipedia and bookmarking fascinating pages, usually historical. I was looking at a top list of historical serial killers yesterday, ranked by body-count. To my personal surprise, a lot of them were women. And it just made me realize what kind of crazy, messed up...

For a RP with a custom setting, how much lore do you prefer there to be (assuming it's well written) and how do you prefer it's presented?

Hey I'm trying to make an interest check using the tabs found in Tutorial - RpNation - BBCode+ Guide. But when I add text content to each tab there are no paragraphs and they just end up on the same row. How to fix this? https://www.rpnation.com/threads/rpnation-bbcode-guide.388933/ Example...

Shenzhiwu 2210 is a dystopian setting that attempts to take a fresh can of paint to the concept of corporatocratic futurism (cyberpunk) where commonsense societal evolution takes prominence over grittiness for the sake of grittiness. Because of this, the setting isn't cyberpunk in any sense...

Hey people. I was hanging around here in 2014 and has since I quit this site last time been focusing on other stuff than RP. But I am getting back into writing as an aspirational past-time of mine, and I remembered this wonderful site out of the blue. Now, I would be looking for some advice...

So I was thinking about various stats in RPGs... I'm not an experienced RPG roleplayer because my life won't allow it. But I still think about them a lot, especially cause I used to do lots of game design a while back. Mostly video game stuff, modding and such. And to some extent I think they...

So I was thinking of making a nation building game of sorts. Actually less nation builder than nation ruler. Because the idea is to allow players to take control of an actual nation from sometime in history and governing them as they see fit. Right now I'm considering these start dates: Start...

Just checking if there's any general interest in doing a mysterious, scary, thriller roleplay, free form style? Essentially one mystery for the players to solve or fail at solving. Probably won't be the longest game as well.

This was something I had laying around "You never actually believe what you read, do you?" The sitting man asked. George had noticed him when entering because the man had been stretching his legs, far into his path. But George didn't mind having to raise his feet once in a while and went...

In the forgotten white desert, a castle stands tall. It's black rock always cold, since the sun's fall. Taken from family, taken from home. Now you never walk alone. Forced out there you were, when you were young. Now lost to the cold, and to songs never sung. Taken from light...

I'm looking for some people who would like to collectively do some world building. I used to do this a lot with a bud here in Sweden and now I feel as if it is time to get back on the old horse. Fantasy or Sci-Fi/Whatever. I don't really mind. I'm open to any suggestion. This would be a no...
