Funnily enough, he's from this site! A character I miss writing and using is Gaheris Agramar. He's basically a 9 foot (IIRC) slave giant clad in head-to-toe plate armor, dragging along a greatsword who has OCD, a speech impediment, a disabled arm and the uncanny ability to vanish if you're not...

Typical shounen protagonist. Still not proud of him even to this day. XD

I tend to bounce between various character archetypes depending on what I think the RP might need or just what I'm in the mood for, but I've definitely noticed a few recurring things in my characters that I end up doing a lot. 😅 In more light-hearted RPs I like playing the token hearty...

Now where was this when I needed to write that one act play script? This would've been so useful! 😄 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely give this a look when I'm back from uni.

That's actually a great help, thanks! I was mostly stuck on how I was going to start off a scene, but this makes for a pretty good outline of events. I'll definitely keep this in mind when I start writing out some of the more elaborate plans. Thanks for the help again!

Yeah, I get that. A general rule of thumb I read was that heists usually don't have everything sailing smoothly, though I am taking a bit of creative liberty with that and making the first few crimes committed by the main two leads go smoothly enough (at least, enough to win over or convince the...

Hey, Crow here. Just some time ago (around January, actually) I had gotten hit with inspiration for a potential crime-based story centering around an eccentric duo of criminals (with a buddycop-like dynamic) aiming to make life living hell for a well known public figure who's secretly dealing...

Interesting question! I haven't really taken a look back at some of my characters in a while, so some of mine might be a little vague. Apologies in advance. - In contrast to a few people I've seen, I tend to dislike writing a character that's basically a stand-in for me. I tried, a few times...

Point taken. XD There's also the idea of incorporating an ability like flight into your character's main power, i.e using fire to fly or creating wings out of energy or ice or something. Little loopholes to exploit in the "one power" rule. 😄

I guess if both powers are backed by just as many weaknesses for balance? Although some players can be pretty iffy about exposing their characters' weaknesses in superpower based RPs.

See, this brings back memories of sci-fi mecha RPs. I've never personally interacted with a player who did this in an RP I was part of, but the moment somebody claims that their "machine can turn the tide of the war" or some other "ultimate mecha" BS like that, I just cringe internally because...

Make up your mind on whether or not a GM should care about their encounters. Some of your points have been addressed by other people in the thread, so let's go over them. - Basically anything about tabletop RPGs: As mentioned by @SCSaya06, it's a moot point. It's a different medium, with...

True enough, I don't do tabletop. However, I do have a friend who does. The idea of what is "fun" here is very subjective-- if you find more fun in taking challenge after challenge and seeing whether your character emerges alive or not, then that's fine. Tabletop GMs generally have more concern...

Realistic, fantasy and sci-fi for me. The Realistic/Modern tag on RPN spans a lot of possible genres-- you can have crime RPs, vigilante RPs, school RPs, mystery RPs- it's a really versatile place to make an RP and I like it. Plus, being able to write something that takes place in the current...

@Ace Cream has the right idea here imo. In a fast-paced, action style tabletop RPG (or, in general, a fast-paced action style RP) where character death is expected, players are more likely to be accepting of character deaths. However, in a longer, narrative style forum RP, a lot of players...

Well, it's definitely an idea worth building on. I wish you luck when you do get around to making it, and with whatever IRL stuff you have to get done. 🙂

I'm not currently sure if there are any villains-only RPs, but I think there have been a few superhero/supervillain ones floating around in the Fantasy, Realistic/Modern to even Sci-Fi tags that allow villains. You might have to tone him down or make him fit with the settings of those RPs, of...

>> << ...Alright, I'll admit. It's been a long time since I've done something purely slice of life/romance/sandbox. We're talking typical anime high school/dorm/anything like that RPs. Simple, random, open to new players, the kind you'd enter when your writing skill is about the equivalent of a...

Not all are related to roleplay, but a few things that's been on my mind now that are just starting to burst from the seams... - No, I won't work on the weekends. I got a home to be at, too. No, I won't work on the research chapter revisions in the car. I have exactly one desktop computer in...

Now that I'm getting seriously into the franchise, I imagine a Hypnosis Microphone RP would be great. Even without the canon characters, the concept itself is just fun. A combat RP fought using rap lyrics? I'd kill to have one of those.
