I've done a lot of moderation work for RP servers and the likes.
People don't realize we can read their uh... intimate RP that they're trying to be sneaky about.
Banned a few people over that.
Anytime someone mistreats the gender of the character.
I've seen countless times where a Male/Female player RPs the opposite gender just to make them a sex object.
I always get mad suspicious whenever two male players happen to make Lesbian/Bi-Curious females who hook up. Or whenever a female...
I may be male but I am not my gender.
I may be mixed race but I am not my ethnicity.
I may be a student but I am not my profession.
I may be middle-class but I am not my economic status.
My name is Cody but I am not my name.
Personality is a surprisingly tricky subject. One that I feel...
Players drop for a number of reasons usually. I find most die right after character creation. Either they're busier than expected and can't commit, don't like how the RP is going, the RP lacks focus and organization, etc etc.
Sometimes RPs will last for ages. It all depends on the players. The...
I'm 20 now. I find RP I want to play becomes more difficult to find as I get older. I can't really blame anyone though.
RPN is a youth-friendly site with its rules and I appreciate that. I'm not RPing to type out sexual desires, which, lets be honest, most "Mature" RPs are there for.
I trouble...
Hypothetically speaking, you can have any character in any setting.
As I said before, it depends on context.
If I'm running a dark fantasy campaign and 3/4 party members have character face claims more in line with what is traditional for the genre, then it's not unreasonable for me to ask the...
Depends on setting. As with most things.
The closer I get to real life, the further away I stray from claims of characters with clearly fictional proportions and style.
In light-hearted settings, I'd approve those images because the images display that tone. (At least in my opinion) They're...
World building is one of the most important aspects of an RP. And often, for novice GMs, one of the most neglected part of the RP. Many forgo a well made world to focus on characters in the world. However, there is a core problem with this. A shallow world inadvertently leads to shallow...
Bruh.
To add some more to the thread: Something that's not touched upon too much is when you're in group RPs or RP servers, you always have a few rather... Cliquey people. I understand that we all have friends and want to RP with specific people. Heck I myself would be likely to RP more with...
Lmao its a skeleton. The other guy wanted it to be female? "Mhm girl... look at that bone structure."
I will say that playing a character someone else made can be alright. On another RP form I use, two players asked me to play their character's child as they trusted me to play a child well...
Some things that will drive me up a wall as I prefer to do more "realistic" RP:
1. Power and meta gaming. This has already been said on just about every post here but I'll restate it again. No, your character isn't the sequel the Jesus. Stop trying to make him/her impossible to even trip up...
