Weird question for a RP forum, but is there a way I can get the advantages of RP without... RP? I just don't think it's fair for anyone else for me to use them as creative fuel, in a sense. Historically, I've only done RP to make characters and stories without heavy self-critique. I'm...

Hey - I'm really itching to write my character, Mati, an ex-sous chef and food connoisseur, and his partner, Fennekin. I figure Pokemon makes for a popular setting, so I'll shoot my shot. Instead of dumping rules on you, I want to approach this more like a 1x1 thread. That means I'm not "The...

I had an idea for a group free-form RP where each character got a highly-specific "Magic," or superpower, the catch being they were chosen by the GM through the aid of a randomly-generated list. Magics would be sorted into categories. For each character, they'd choose a category, and then I'd...

Assuming the RP uses the classic appearance/personality/history triad. I always feel like I either write too much or too little for "Personality." I want to avoid writing myself into a corner by over-predicting everything my character could and would feel, trying to dodge a 2+ paragraph wall of...

Recently, I was diagnosed with glioblastoma in the cerebrum part of my brain. The cause, as diagnosed by my oncologist and several other medical professionals, was too much shit roleplaying. In the few months I have remaining on this earth, I wanted to at least take a shot at some less-shit...

For my first game, I was set on making this impression with a super-serious, psych-horror adventure story and I was planning out a bunch of research... but my heart wasn’t into it. I just want a dumb-ass Pokemon anime game. So here it is. Project Poffin is a Pokemon roleplay set in an alternate...

Taking a bit of a breather for rp -- I don't miss what I'd been doing, frankly. But I'm totally into running my own group rp, my own unique setting and plot and maybe some light mechanics. I've accumulated a ton of ideas for games that would ordinarily give me pause or be communicated poorly on...

A compilation of posts as a writing style reference. Please don't post here!

Anotha one. Looking back at the past characters you've played, what do they have in common? Demographically; in regards to personality, backstory; how they're written; anything. And how much of this on purpose versus how much of it surprises you?

I want to take a crack at a custom "hider" i.e. a button that, when clicked, shows hidden content, like a tab, and when clicked again, re-hides that content. Any tips on getting that to work? I also would like to know how to make a hidden scroll. I believe, based on what I've read, that...

(Should this be 'Character Theory'? Does anyone make 'Character Theory' threads?) Anyway, I like these poll-type threads. Here's anotha one. We know by now that roleplays die, and that players get busy/demotivated and drop before then. What do you do with those characters you never got to use...

A quick survey - only really applies to group roleplays. Please approach this from the perspective of being a player in someone else's game. The question's pretty straightforward; feel free to elaborate your reasons below.

I wanted to make a Viewpoint thread to sort of shoot the breeze, get a better sense of the community here. As of now, it's my winter break, and I've found I've spent the last two weeks either sleeping or writing. Even more recently, that writing has fallen into this type of forum-hosted...
