    Viewpoint If not zombies then what? What do you care to see in apocalyptic roleplays?

    Wow. I'm impressed with your knowledge of media! I love Studio Ghibli! I haven't seen much, but I love everything I have seen. I'll definitely give it a watch at some point! Thank you for the suggestion! <3

    Viewpoint If not zombies then what? What do you care to see in apocalyptic roleplays?

    Ooh, sounds fancy. I haven't read or seen The Mist. The characters in my RP traverse the "wastelands," though there's plenty of forests and plant life, wearing gas masks. Though, the miasma can get thick enough that the gas masks aren't effective. It can also be absorbed through the skin, though...

    Viewpoint If not zombies then what? What do you care to see in apocalyptic roleplays?

    I've played a handful of Final Fantasy games, but never that one. I just like the word miasma. :P I also liked the idea of running from a mist as opposed to a swarm of zombies. Or having something like monsters, or a desolate wasteland to deal with.

    Viewpoint If not zombies then what? What do you care to see in apocalyptic roleplays?

    I'm currently part of an apocalypse RP. It's fantasy based. The apocalypse is a miasma that covers the world, with only high altitude cities still existing. The miasma is a magical mist that can mutate creatures and plants and even enhances magic, to potentially self-endangering levels. The...

    Experiences What was one roleplay that you enjoyed a lot that is gone now?

    I once had a group RP going that I loved. I had characters I loved and important roles in the story with some of them. I played with people I really liked. The GM was active and passionate. Unfortunately, it ended one day due to the ambition of the GM. They wanted to have several different group...

    Experiences Writer's Fatigue

    Knowing your own limits is a difficult thing. Many like to think they know themselves, but few do. It comes with experience. That comes with time. Learning that, I think, is the first step. For me, what I do, is limit myself. I often have tons of ideas that I always want to do. I also see so...

    Experiences Improvement in combat

    Everyone here has wonderful answers. But, just in case you wanted advice on how to RP combat, I think I can give a bit of advice there. While everyone else seems to have wonderfully detailed how to descriptively write it. When RPing combat, one of the biggest mistakes I see people doing is...

    Advice/Help What do you say when an RP just isn’t working out?

    I prefer the honest approach. I lay it on gently at first. If they are not agreeable, I then become brutally honest. If they are still not agreeable, then I show them that their current hostility is a good reason to cut ties. After that, it's pretty much just ignore. Unless things went...

    Experiences Whats making you angry today? Rp pet peeves

    I'm going to start tagging you in other people's RPs that I'm not even a part of. (Just kidding! I would never do that! But it would be hilarious!)

    Advice/Help Is it okay to roleplay as characters that aren't a part of your race/ethnic group?

    100% it absolutely is! RPing is a form of writing. Imagine telling the author of a book they can't include characters of races/genders/species different from their own. You'd have a book filled with nothing but Asian women for one book and Indian men for another. It's absolutely ludicrous! I...

    Viewpoint Why do you RP?

    I RP because I love writing. I want to improve at it. Having other people to do it with helps keep me motivated to keep going. It's harder to give up something if someone is relying on you. I also am pretty shy irl, and this anonymous style of interaction is a great way for me to come out of my...

    Advice/Help Ditched from an RP for being under 18, but I turn 18 tomorrow.

    Seeking clarification is a wonderful thing. :D

    Advice/Help Ditched from an RP for being under 18, but I turn 18 tomorrow.

    I've had people drop RPs with me after learning my religion. They think I'm evil. >:) Many won't even take the time to try and clarify my beliefs. I don't talk about it often because I know it can be polarizing, but I won't skirt the topic if it comes up. It's just sad that prejudice is so...

    Viewpoint How old is too old or too young to RP? Does it really matter?

    5000 years old is too old to RP. Because you're dead. Unless you're me. Baphomet out!
