Hey guys, just an old timer popping in for some advice. I started RPing almost seven years ago, inspired by discovering that collaborative writing like this was a thing on a backwater forum for a very specific gaming interest. Since then, my time in RPing (though infrequent over the past few...

@AEONmeteorite : A slightly off topic question from me, but given you've upheld him as an excellent example twice now, what do you think makes Brandon Sanderson's writing 'masterpieces?' I ask this as someone who just finished the second Mistborn book in the early hours of last night. Now that...

Great thread! Loving the insights into the world of publishing, as that's where I aspire towards once I've finished my upcoming church training. Will be keeping a close eye on this thread!

Prettying it up is always a good idea - stuff like pictures, tabs, and my personal favourite, accordions! I guess it also depends on what kind of lore you're describing - for me personally, I always find things like magic systems an interesting read regardless of how they're done, but stuff like...

@welian : Thanks for explaining - that's a smart system! I notice also there's a similar stat-point system in place for character traits - how does that work? I've also tried implementing an episode-esque system before, though I called mine chapters instead! Generally they served a similar...

@welian : Would you mind detailing the point values stuff for the character sheets a little further? Using a kind of stat-based system for that kind of thing is something I've only ever done once several years ago, and then only arbitrarily because I'm a little nerd who likes numbers and...

Ok guys, here's another suggestion - I reckon familiarity can often make of a good RP. Generally I've found an RP with a sense of familiarity is likely to work out better than one that throws you into an entirely innovative world. This of course doesn't downplay originality and breaking from...

@Idea : Again, the point of this thread is to discuss RPs, and nothing else. I'm sorry if you weren't anticipating quite such a response and will be more than happy to go over PM how your post was construed as rude if that would help but would ask that the topic be kindly dropped. Otherwise...

I've also found this on several occasions, probably enough to make double figures! Any ideas of how to navigate this section successfully? It's always a bit of a shame because character interaction is such a key part of RP and yet when you get your first proper slice of it like this, that's when...

I like writing. So do you, probably. But therein lies my problem - when I come to creating an RP, my inspiration normally takes the form of your bog standard novel/film/whatever. Great - it might be a great world, even perhaps a great story! But I forget - I forget that there's this game bit to...

We've all had negative experiences roleplaying, haven't we? From plots that mislead us and let us down, to players dropping out after a week despite your very clear 'only-sign-up-if-you-can-commit-long-term-you-pleblord' warning, to discovering that the character you slaved over creating...

I have about 240ish fakemon ideas sitting around in my computer from various points of procrastination this term, though I can't draw to save my life. If you'd like any specific ideas for specific types, just holla :)

@Dark Severus : :)

:D

This is all so spectacular, and I rather wish I'd enlisted your coding help for my latest project, though it's a little too late now. Keep up the fantastic work, fellow!

Adding onto what others have already wisely said, I think it can also be down to personal preference. I, personally, have always really loved enigmatic characters, and the 'broodster' is one such shade of this trait. There can be great differences even between broodsters too. Fairs fair, you get...

I'm sorry Elle :( You know from my end I've been very busy with school work and ongoing health issues - but I'm still sticking around in both of your RPs that I'm in. For Watchcrew, I'm still waiting on Veirrianna for our colab (and also for you to answer the questions PM I sent you on...

I agree with your point. The main point of RP is to write and interact with different people, and just writing between your own characters is kinda missing the point. Looking back retrospectively, I realise I've actually done this quite a few times. The first was this super-power school RP...

That's quite an interesting way of looking at things, something I haven't really considered before. For me personally, making character sheets is one of my favourite bits about RP, so I like to go mega crazy on details such as the personality section. Otherwise it's usually helpful to have as a...

I think Shura beat me to the punch a little above, but yeah, from my experiances, fandom RPs can go one of two ways. The way you'd probably most associate them with it what you've taken a disliking to above; people taking canon characters, or a couple of over-glorified fan characters, and...
