    Advice/Help New to the forum, how would I execute this abstract group RP idea?

    This looks awesome! I'm not going to have player death (Unless they voluntarily want it) as I don't want pvp to be its sole focus. More on the focus on an ever changing world and living in that world day to day. Still this looks like a fantastic start!

    Advice/Help New to the forum, how would I execute this abstract group RP idea?

    Fantastic advice, lets see... Yeah, given I'll be approving charactera I'll make judgement calls on their strength as far as abilities, but all dragons would have strengths and weaknesses, itd be a requirement in the sheet, with limitations as far as certain abilities. (For example summoning...

    Advice/Help New to the forum, how would I execute this abstract group RP idea?

    Hey, so, I had an idea for a group RP. Or possibly a quest RP? I dont know if it would count? Here, let me explain the idea; I had a plan for a group RP based around Dragons. I would make a world with a bunch of claimable territory divied and chopped up. It would be a, 'Drop in, Drop out' RP...

    Experiences Have you ever felt so badly about your writing that you weren't able to post?

    Those ones dont bother me as much as the ones that ghost me, but are still clearly on the site striking up RPs with other people. Even then, I know people get anxious and dont want to face the stress of having to tell someone an RP isnt working out, and I fully underatand that no hard...

    Experiences Have you ever felt so badly about your writing that you weren't able to post?

    I've gotten better about it, but it gets to me when I'm ghosted. This is because any criticism towards an RP I usually focus inwardly, I rarely if ever blame the other RPer as I believe all RPers enjoy RP in their own ways and there is no wrong way to enjoy an RP. So, usually when I RP I try to...

    Viewpoint What kind of “roles” do you enjoy in 1x1 plots?

    Well not a complete blank slate, but comparatively speaking. I still give them a personality, complete with nuances and flaws, and usually some measure of basic abilities though usually not yet well defined. The point is to make a believable character, but give it tons of room to grow, either...

    Character Theory What Makes a Character Feel More Human?

    Always keep in mind your character has social needs beyond their romantic interests. That's one pitfall I've seen some people fall into with their characters, at least in my opinion. People have their friend groups, their BFFs, their Bromances. Sometimes those platonic relationships can be even...

    Viewpoint What kind of “roles” do you enjoy in 1x1 plots?

    Being I favor long term action adventure RPs, I kinda favor "The Newbie", someone inexperienced and new who has a ton of growing room and ability to grow. Learning new ways to survive in their world, obtaining skills, important items, allies, that sort of thing. Make them more of a blank slate...

    Viewpoint How accepted is it here for a Male RPer to RP a female character?

    Yeah doubly agreed yikes. I don't write rape at all, it's far too horrible a subject and I don't think I could ever write out the trauma involved or encompass the severity of it. That's just a whole lot of nope from me. I've also written some dark subjects, but that's one line I wont cross, and...

    Viewpoint How accepted is it here for a Male RPer to RP a female character?

    Well, as a straight male I have to apologize for those experiences. Given my own walks on the more racy RP servers I've definitely seen some awful stuff myself, I entirely respect that choice. I'll admit that sometimes I look through RP partners text thinking, "Is there a subtext here? What are...

    Viewpoint How accepted is it here for a Male RPer to RP a female character?

    My previous experiences its always been from Male RPers roleplaying Male Characters who've thrown that down. So this is already a very different community from what I'm used to, haha, thats refreshing. I also fully understand those female RPers who only want to RP with other female RPers...

    Viewpoint How accepted is it here for a Male RPer to RP a female character?

    Preface before I get into this, I personally do not think there is anything wrong with not wanting to RP with a guy RPing a female character for reasons I'll explain later. In no way is this a guilting thread, rather me probing for general community opinion. So, hi! I'm Zef the Owl and I'm new...

    Viewpoint RP vs writing?

    A lot of people have already said what I would say. Though I'll throw in; Group RPs in particular, when they take off, can be utterly engrossing due to their random nature. You never know what kind of characters yours will be interacting with, and theres been more than a few days where I lazily...
