I think the first thing to decide is what the flavor will be. As there are mythical creatures, will it be a survive against them setting? Are they much stronger than normal people and can wipe them out? Is it a lifestyle setting? Will it just go over how these former humans live life everyday...

Okay, that sounds good. Be mindful of including these villains and natural disasters often as adventuring and roaming aimlessly (at least in a written RP) can become extremely disengaging for players very quickly. If y’all can address that, I’m sure this will turn out to be an interesting...

It’s true about activity dropping because of finals, but the honest truth is people will make time for what they care about. Someone could be too tired to do laundry one night, but still find energy to watch their favorite TV show that same night. It’s a matter of interest. They may not be able...

Daisie, you need to join group RPs more! Get some experience! But on your question, yes it's normal to have players not post. It doesn't exactly have to do with someone's skill as a writer, but skill as a facilitator. Because it's not about what a GM wants, it's about what players want. And...

The idea is a novel one. Besides in one other place, I haven't seen anything that sounds remotely close. The only issue I see ya'll having is deepening the roleplay's lore and story. The idea is so novel, that there's no guide on how a story like this might or should go. For example, who's the...

Good question. I had this same question a long time ago, leading to the personality sections I use today in my roleplays. As Caroline suggested, it's based on personality tests and gives descriptions of major and minor traits. A player picks one side or the other for several traits on a scale...

Oh boy, frontal lobe expansion means a life crisis. I know exactly how you feel. I used to be very active, posting every day and participating in multiple roleplays. But a job with long hours and various life changes has drained most of my time. I too have tried to get back into writing because...

Lol. Excuse me? Are you answering the right thread? You want me to try what?

Thank you for the suggestion. I just read through it and it doesn't quite fit what I'm looking for. I'm looking for a small system to handle combat, but Maze Rats looks to handle everything.

I love fandoms and am nearly fandom exclusive. Realistic RPs don’t appeal to me because I’m living in real life already, and fantasy doesn’t appeal to me because it’s hard to create a thorough and consistent world from scratch. So super-powered fandoms are the only answer. Onto your question, I...

Thank you for the explanation. I’m still on the fence about taking into consideration other peoples’ CSs. Though I can understand why someone would do it. It just seems like personal approach. I prioritize playing what I want to play, while another may be more adaptable and play what an RP...

Excellent, Daisie. I've never considered that question either. If you do end up making that topic, I am for sure on the side of RP being an adventure to be discovered. When someone asks me to plan something with them, I always refuse to do it. Simply because I believe if someone wants something...

:specialeyes: I honestly don't know what to say. I never thought about character CSs that way and I'll tell you why. I actually prefer not to have things in an RP planned out, per se. I like it when things are spontaneous and the situations that arise. So I'd rather not know anything about a...

I see. So if you’re not reading other character posts, you’re probably not staying in the RP anyway. So if you like the RP you’re in, you’re reading all the posts. @Lorsh ^— Does that sound about right? Ha, that’s really interesting. You’d go so far to say it’s rude not to read the other...

100%. I do this too and this is what I believed happened for a long time (but you kind of need to do this as a GM). But I assumed everyone did this. It doesn’t seem to be the case. Which is why I want to ask you if you magically had the time, would you still not pay attention to the plots of...

Quick question. I thought I knew the answer, but I don’t. In a group setting, there are multiple characters, PC and NPC, that are hopefully contributing to the story. If you have a PC, so you only read/are interested in the posts directly related to them? Or are you actually interested in what...

I prefer seeing short replies, if there is nothing really for a person or character to do. Now it’s going to be another case if there is a lot for a person or character to do. Let’s say they have to do several things, it’s going to be weird for that to only take one paragraph. That’s when it’s a...

Woah. Is this growing and self-development in real time right in front of my eyes????! Good for you for realizing and figuring all this out! If you need any help or assistance, please let me know. I’d suggest joining RPs as a player and then asking the GM if you can worldbuild for them. I’m...

I am talking about the HxH thread, so you speaking in specifics is fine. I just want to say thank you for the answer. It's exactly what I was looking for. I was grinning like mad as you were asking all the right questions and pointing out all the right things. I did decide on giving players more...

I get what you mean. But I like when there is a lot of conflict and growth in power of characters in a story. If that is left with no rules or system, usually it’s hard to get everyone to agree on how fast or how far a character has grown. The story becomes a mess unless it’s fair, in my...
