Just a quick thing that I thought would be helpful cause you didn’t really clarify whether you intended this as a twitter-only thing or not: The BBcode Center on this site has a lot of formats for this site that people made for others to use. Individual threads there will have different rules...

Been a bit, hasn't it? I guess I'll throw another question in Does your character speak multiple languages? If so, what are they and how did they learn them (eg: grew up speaking them, took foreign language courses, etc)? If your character doesn't speak multiple languages, then what language...

It depends on what the idea is. If it's an idea relating to RP, then here on the RP Discussion forms is a great place to talk about it! If not, then it'll probably fit in general discussion :)

“What is gunpowder made of?” “Saltpeter” “Saltpeter or saltpetre?” “Potassium nitrate” “Potassium nitrate ignition point” “What makes potassium nitrate explode?” “Can you eat potassium nitrate?” “Does potassium nitrate taste salty?” “Potassium nitrate and whiskey” “What happens if you...

New question! Is your character good at dancing? Do they like dancing? If they can dance, what type are they best at (none in specific, tango, step, pole, etc)? If they can’t dance, what type of dance would they choose to learn if they had to pick one?

Lovely answers everyone! They all sound like very interesting characters My character’s answer would be, “I know there’s nothing I can do to stop you, but please be careful. And set aside some money while you can. You’ll need it.”

If your character could send their younger self a 25-word message, what would they say?

Oh yeah, and some answers of my own. I think I’ll grab a character I typically use as a side so I can have the extra benefit of exploring a character that doesn’t get much ‘screentime’. Stil is extremely picky about which shoes he wears, which is unfortunate because, as a nurse, he does a lot...

I thought a thread full of little characterization/general character questions would be fun because I’ve always liked reading about those funky, generally unimportant as far as plot stuff goes but still interesting traits other people’s OCs have, so I decided to set up a thread where I can drop...

This could be anything from managing an RP really well to just writing a line that really struck you. Preferably keep it to roleplay related things (this is in the roleplay discussion forums, after all). For example, I've roleplayed with a handful of people who learned English later in life as...

As far as simplified systems go, I've heard good things about Monster of the Week. I've never used it, though, I've only peeked at some of the pdfs online. The base instructions look to be about two or three pages long back to back (all additional instructions appear to come from character...

Doubling is a term primarily used in 1x1 rps that refers to one player playing two or more characters at once. Some people specifically use it to mean two characters, but I more often see it generalized to multiple characters rather than just two. Usually it isn't counted as doubling if you play...

I also don't do CC RPs of any kind, though I think for separate reasons than you. Personally, it just doesn't interest me, and if I'm not interested in an RP then it's setting up for disappointment if I join it. For me, a lot of draw to RPing happens because of an interest in my and other...

I have a whole host of characters for which I cause problems on purpose.

I'm willing to assume most people who RP have general kinds of scenes that they prefer or don't prefer. These kinds of scenes can be very specific (rainy scene where one character is getting soaked and another character comes in to give them/share their umbrella) or very general (emotional...

Completely agree with this. In particular, I lean a lot toward including things that will help out with the second because, while I usually enjoy running roleplays where there's a fair amount of wiggle room for character concepts, some things really just don't work with what I'm going for...

Character sheets are a pretty large part of most RPN roleplays, and most people have slight differences in the templates they make when they're hosting a roleplay. As someone who both makes and is on the recieving end of these templates, I have to admit that I've definitely got some preferences...

As much as I agree that a poorly-done redemption arc sucks, I think it's a bit far so say that people shouldn't even try it. Getting better at things usually takes practice. I would be really annoyed if someone tried a bad redemption arc and acted as if all characters are required to treat their...

Kinda been craving a bit of Fighting Dreamers (webcomic) lately

I just thought it would be neat to hear about some people's perspectives on this. Personally I love listening to my rp partners gush about their OCs. It shows how passionate they are about their character and the story, and it's really interesting to learn about the character and all the...
