I’m on a cartoon nostalgia trip so I’d love to do a Scooby-Doo type of RP with a ragtag team of ghost hunters and investigators! The friendship between Shaggy and Scooby is perfect!
An Addams Family sort of RP would be nice too! I miss familial plots very much.
Thanks for sharing your input! I really appreciate both the practical advice of keeping an RP going/trouble-shooting future problems that I could encounter as well as the personal advice of not taking failure to heart. I think I’ll keep to a small group to keep everything manageable and perhaps...
“The best smelling fruit” (It’s for a dessert hallucination)
“Why is there only three genie wishes? Origins of genie wishes”
“How to make explosion from lye (from soap) and aluminum?”
Hello! I’d like to try running a group RP, but I’ve never GM’ed before. Do you guys have any useful advice? What makes a successful group RP? Any things to consider? Should I look for a co-GM?

Sometimes when everything is plotted down to a minute level of detail, it can be stressful to try to balance both creative freedom and adherence to the plot. It turns the RP from a fun collaboration into a writing...
A dose of action comedy! I love misadventures and characters who cause their own problems. Clumsy characters. Impulsive characters. Those characters who have thoughts that are “crazy” enough to work in highly impossible scenarios. Even in slice of life can be livened up with an accident or two -...
I have a playlist for every possible mood in the human psyche.
I find myself creating backstory or narratives around art or interesting images that I come across.
I do both!
