    Other Obscure fandoms you'd like to RP

    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.

    Advice/Help What makes a great group RP?

    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...

    Advice/Help What makes a great group RP?

    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?

    Experiences Where did you roleplay before you came to RPNation?

    For me, it’s Tumblr and Discord. I’ve tried other forums, but the community activity was pretty sparse. RPNation seems to be really active so I’m hoping to find some partners here!

    Experiences Whats making you angry today? Rp pet peeves

    It’s lack of effort/collaboration for me or when I feel like I’m the only one plotting/writing the story. I’m capable of plotting/writing on my own, but the point of RP, at least imo, is to have someone contribute a new idea/scene/twist. Most people say that they’re interested in a certain idea...

    Advice/Help Does Plotting Ahead Kill Your Roleplay?

    Not necessarily, but it can be off putting when it’s taken to an extreme. 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...

    Viewpoint What’s one RP trope you can’t live without?

    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 -...

    Other Tell me you're a roleplayer without telling me you're a roleplayer

    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.

    Viewpoint Roleplay or writing?

    I do both! I think RP really helps in developing ideas and learning about writing from reading other people’s post - like expanding your vocabulary with new words. It’s refreshing to read about a scene from a new lens and perspective. I pick up a lot of storytelling elements from other people...
