I'd love to try some tabletop or "dice" rp online but I have extremely limited experience. In the past, I've gotten bogged down by character creation to the point I just ghost, which is absolutely my L, but I also don't see the game I flaked on hanging around. What are some suggestions to...

I want to at least try giving my characters clear, intrinsic goals from now on. It's such a hugely emphasized thing in creative writing: even OWL Purdue has a section on "Writing Compelling Characters" that puts character goals at the top priority. But I've rarely seen a RP where players are...

What's the best rootin' good time you've had in a rp in recent memory?

RP hasn't been feeling like a team effort lately, more like I've been reaching out to people and getting little to work with. I've been in situations where I've asked, "Well, what do you want to do?" And gotten an "I don't know," nothing else. I've been told my ideas are unoriginal, and then...

I hate writing sign-ups, the appearance/personality/background variety. Any tips on making the process actually fun, or at least blowing through them?

I *guess* I want to RP but I can't make characters that I genuinely want to play. Sign-ups feel very tedious right now because I can grind out character traits--that doesn't tell me whether a character will be fun to write for. What do you do in the character creation process to invest yourself...

Kind of self-explanatory but what counts as a "genre" seems up to interpretation--at least, my attempt to make a poll became very general (technically an anime school RP and a mafia crime RP are both "contemporary.") Question intended for people who majorly look at group RPs.

How can you ensure fancy-codes are legible on small viewports (text isn't cut off, everything displays correctly, etc.)?

I rarely ever participate in the discussions myself, but I do want to put out the idea of not using face claims (FCs) and seeing the thoughts it brings up. I actually used to love FCs, but now I don't want to re-appropriate other peoples' art, and I feel like I'm back in middle school when I...

Don't spear me for this one. First of all, I barely count as an adult, but I remember getting up at 2AM before school to fill out a "character application" for a RP that didn't even get off the ground. I have easily spent hundreds of hours either writing, preparing, or discussing RP. And this...

Fuck am I bad at naming characters. I started compiling a list of names that I like but I rarely end up using any of them because of how limited the list really is. I'm self-conscious of picking something that's too on the nose (Caleb Goodman, anyone?) or that someone's parents wouldn't pick...

In your opinion, what are the advantages of RP (group or 1x1, just based on your experience) over writing? In this case, writing is just any time you would sit down and put some words on a page without collaborating with anyone else. The best argument I’ve heard is if you want to write a...

I figure, on a RP forum, people like to write... right? Are you working on a project? Poetry, creative fiction, nonfiction... Whatever it is, share! How long have you been working on it, why are you passionate about it, and what are your future goals? If you don’t have a project but still...

I’ve been looking for some of those “character-maker”/“doll-maker” games in the case I need one. Any recommendations? It would have to be browser-based, no download.

Do you rely on the Newest Interest Checks? Do you browse Recruit Here? Do you surf specific tags? Or do you look for ongoing RPs that are still accepting?

Curious to do some 1x1 stuff, I feel like it has a higher turnover? I’m reluctant cause a lot of it is shipping and romance stuff... I don’t really get the appeal, so to those that do it, why do you RP pairings? What’s your advice for RPing romance? I can look for ads for plot-driven RPs, but...
