I have quite a few open-world RPs that I’ve worked on, by myself and with other members of the community here, and the solution that has usually worked best for me/us is to leave the focus centered on the characters and their location, or leading their destination if the story involves some...

I am always a fan of lore in any form, the bigger and more detailed and intertwined the better. However, there comes a point where it’s so vast and expansive that it’s too oppressive for the players to feasibly take it all in. The obvious solution is to have just enough history to support your...

If you’re asking what I think you’re asking, whether or not conciseness added or subtracted from the story experience, I for one have always leaned towards more detail and longer posts to accurately depict exactly what my actions and intentions are. My role playing is almost entirely...

*Arrives, heartily confused* @Killigrew I’ll take “Rephrase That Question” for 800, Alex!

Perhaps not that level of realism, no, the effort required to create that much content would be nearly impossible for a single creator alone, but a group effort with players as both teachers and students is not uncommon to work around just that. Perhaps full lectures and taking notes and having...

Actually, I would disagree and say that the reason I find school roleplays so boring personally is that they don't focus enough on the classes and always center around the drama and activity around a school setting. If a school roleplay actually took the time to develop classes with requirements...

Apology accepted, I also apologize for assuming you took it as a personal attack. I agree that the original content was negative and downplayed a setting that other players enjoyed, but other members had stepped up and talked about improving the environment we were discussing, rather than simply...

I would debate that this discussion is completely irrelevant to your points in favor of shutting down this topic. First of all, this thread is entirely made up of a group of people who chose to participate in a discussion about current trends in the roleplay community, no one was forced to join...

P.S. Here's the interest check for that setting as an RP, if anyone's interested, totally fits the type of "not academy fantasy" XD end second shameless self-advertising https://www.rpnation.com/threads/the-sky-beneath-us-detailed-sci-fantasy.327550/

I totally agree, I'm actually writing a fantasy world right now for one of my settings, a character is keeping a sort of "journal" of their travels that serves both as a first-person view into the world I'm creating, and as a creative tool to see any flaws in the setting from a character's...

Thank you, I try to be as likable as possible XD To divert minorly from the "problem" of too many fantasy academy RPs by creating a "solution" of non-academy RPs, I am currently working on a personal setting that I hope to have turned into a Hosted Project very shortly. The real issue with...

*Starts petition to give Dwiz about starting a separate "School/Academy" section since it's so popular and other people don't want to see it infiltrating the purer-blooded RP sections* Because really, all academy and school RPs really have a central theme, it's intentionally always set in a...

@White Masquerade  Well, if you remember correctly, I always was better than you at putting a concept into words ;P *le tease* There's a lot to be gained from this hobby, all the ones you mentioned included, as well as creative splurging and interacting with new ideas and people. I'll be...

I honestly feel just the littlest bit put off by the level of detail in the RPs that frequent this site. I wouldn't use the term "Immature" to describe the majority of the RPs that I've looked into, sometimes having a setting where the only point is to mess around and have fun can be alright, if...

Quoting you again to bring up talk topics. So, as you said, the pools are pretty low to make fights anything more than slap fests or just wars of attrition until someone eventually loses. So having proper equipment for the task accomplishes both problems at once, raising the pools to viable...

Noted, I had actually taken both into account, a topic I'll write up in due time, though I'm heading to work for the night shift, so it certainly won't be until tomorrow XD

^^^ P.S. If that even remotely doesn't make sense, ask me questions, I thrive off of dialogue about things like this, I'd be more than happy to take input into consideration and hopefully apply it to improve the setting :3

On the way :3 Glad you asked, hopefully it'll make sense why I laid out the stat and scales first before getting to that bit. So, let's start with a couple example character sheets, we'll call this first one Richard. First the player needs to pick a race, for this we'll go with a human...

So I'm creating a stat system for an RP that I'm running, I want it to be comprehensively minimal so players don't have to memorize a mountain of stats or roll random dice and calculate their odds. I have the basis for the system and want some input from more experienced players to see how well...

Gawd, I'm looking back and realizing that my first RP character was actually not on this site and I've failed to resurrect him in any form as of yet, must remedy that soon.  Anyways, I made up Corain Slade somewhere about 6 years ago I think(?) with a group of friends on a play-by-post RP over...
