Oh this one is a bit difficult for me to answer, eheh. When I started roleplaying I obviously wasn't the best; I'm not exactly the best today either, but that lack of expertise kept me away from roleplaying as the opposite gender. Fastfoward a bit and the reasoning kind of just changes, for...

I would consider that they are both copying Avatar (to the extent of the world, powers, rules, etc), but neither try to mimic or dip into the original plot. And I don't mind if roleplays do this! When it becomes a problem for me, is when two roleplays, when developing different stories based on...

Oh I see what you mean, Using your words I'd specify the "not being aware of" criteria as having to be a stipulation for roleplays taking inspiration from other roleplays. If both are based off of Avatar, I believe it will either be extremly obvious, or somewhere it will be mentioned

Yeah I think that's probably the best way to simplify it lol

Oh thats thought provoking, but I think my "line in the sand" might differ depending on the roleplay. I'll name a few scenarios I can come up with. -(stealing from Idea a bit lol) Pre-determined world, differing plot line; basicially fanfiction, I believe two fanfictions can use the same world...

The common missconseption, it that just because the GM creates and regulates the world, doesnt exactly mean they're god per say, the gm regulates and rules according to their self set guidelines, but most gms love an amersive story just as much as the player. Gms ultimatly are above players...

Oh, geography is indeed hard, but iv seen some helpful tricks put to use. Get a premade map, hopefully with no detail of whatever (like for example, it's all black or something, no detail, only a map), and fill in the details from there (maybe you want mountains in the north, and a giant beach...

I often find myself not making a character because I want it to be something extrodinary and thought provoking, then I realize I'm practically numb to that stuff, so I take days of character thinking, scrap it, and just make a character "hands on" (means I make it up as I go, with usually one...

@Umbrie I see what you mean there. I have been trying to work on adding more detail to my rp post, but I don't plan on describing my outfit or anything (unless Its a starting post, I don't plan on adding many useless details). Thanks for the information though, as I don't believe iv ran...

Thank you, yet more awesome advice. I for one, am ok with the idea of failing over and over again, if I learn something from it, but at the same time I don't like going in blind. That's why I created this thread, so I could get amazing advice, and use it to enhance my learning experience...

@TheIrradiatedWaffle Yea, I'm actually reading Salem's Lot  at the moment.

@Cipah Look dude, when it comes to the GM it really all depends on what their going for. If the GM has a set story that they don't plan on changing, then yes, it will be like one of those telltale games (because you as a RPer will be making decisions, but It wont affect their story)...

@Noivian, dude, I cannot think you enough. I mean, iv been working on improving my writing quality, but I really never thought of describing things with all of your senses, so thanks! And I will take your advice next time I create a character, iv never really tried "layering" either...

@Thief I see what you mean, I usually prefer paragraph writing, as it can be long enough to put meat on your chicken wing, but not so long as to where your basically describing every picky detail of your story....every time. All this advise I'm getting from you guys is really filling my...

@call me rae @Saccharine Cyanide Thank you both, though I'm more of a learn from expirence, which is why I usually pay attention to log winded post to look for things like "how does he/she set their scene", or "how does he/she react to a situation", because all my life I have been thought...

Thanks, yea I'm keen on a paragraph or two when it comes to content, thought ill have to work on my environmental story telling. Thanks, yea I'm keen on a paragraph or two when it comes to content, thought ill have to work on my environmental story telling. why it double post like that :(((((

I suck at roleplay....yep....there it is... If you have seen any of my previous rp's, characters, ideas, ect, you know its true....put I'm open to improvement. From a one liner "git gud m8", to overly long essays explaining the fundamentals of a good rper....and then some, I'm open to...

It really comes down to "knowing a lot about one thing", or "knowing a little about everything"

I can see the problem from both sides here, and would like to speak for both. As someone who used to stick to one section of everything, including RpN, I can tell you that its easier to stay in one place, because once you start growing your skills there, you think "hey, I'm good at this, so I...
