I'm going to cut in real quick as, while I agree with the told mentioned, I still have advice I don't see given. 1. Don't make the RP thread until you have at least the minimum amount of people to man it. This sounds obvious but if you don't secure a player or two in order to begin...

Wow, these stories are sometimes hilarious and other times horrifying. Jeez. I think the worst one I ever saw was on another site. I'd tested out an RP idea with a smaller group and it'd gone wonderfully. Now, I was a much younger girl then and barely experienced in the art of GMing. I was...

I didn't try to make a 'special snowflake' character, but she's fast becoming that.  She's a cleric/monk who spent the first 40 or so pages pushing everyone away and attempting to be a brat so people would leave her alone.  However, despite that, she has the most loyal following of anyone in the...

Haha, thanks. My whole world is online right now as I am... very disabled due to a disease. As I live in a basement apartment and there are 5 steps between the door of my unit and the exit to the apartment building, I am unable to leave unless my husband aids me (wheelchair bound with low arm...

Thanks Epiphany ^^ That is wonderful advice!! I have already begun implementing it ^^

Thank you ^^ that means quite a lot. But, yes, you're right... it is less energy to be in a roleplay than run one.

well, exactly. And that was something I've been thinking about as well... a player is looking for a lot of different things (as each is a person, each person looks for different forms of entertainment in their RPs). I can't join other people's RPs very often because of what I do in mine. I...

Ah, I see. Yes, my husband was warning me about letting my RPs get too precious... It is likely that they are... hmm, while I don't believe it's wrong to participate in multiple RPs (or in a myriad of other people's RPs), it has become obvious that the players get something entirely different...

Thank you. That is quite a good way to look at it.

*deep breath* There's no easy way to say this... As a person who runs RPs I do what I assume everyone else tries to do: run a good RP and make it fun for the players. However, recently I find myself becoming inexcusably jealous if I find out one of my better or more active players has joined...

I completely agree! as a threadmaster one must be flexible, so must the players be. Unfortunately, we live in a world where that doesn't work =/ Oh well. At least there are cookies.

You make a lot of good points. Obviously, as someone who routinely creates her own threads, I'd be quite sad if no one joined. That being said, there are some ideas that ARE mutually exclusive, even if they seem similar. Beyond that, I agree it's difficult to run a thread, especially if...

This happens disturbingly frequently to me. Unfortunately, more recently I've been the one to not be able to keep up (due to medical reasons) but I find if I create the RP I'm much more invested in it. I've been making RPs for...years, as it's very rare that I find someone whose concept really...

I started role playing sometime in middle school (I think I was 11 or 12?) because I was bored in computer class. I already knew how to run the Microsoft Office programs, so I found some roleplay forum (that I don't remember the name of, is probably defunct at this point in time) and would post...

Haha, my first RP character? Wow, that's a trip back. If I remember correctly it was a half-demon, half-celestial, super over-powered and ridiculously arrogant. My goodness. Yeah, he's unsalvageable now. He was supposed to be the 'epitome' of the split between good and evil, essentially the...
