I ghost all the time and I probably still will in the future, if I still want to RP here. It's never personal! I just don't see the point in contacting people to tell them I'm not interested anymore because it never was a commitment in the first place. I can drop and there won't be any social...

God, I hate writers sometimes lmao

I really dig RP when I can treat it like a game, like a play-by-post tabletop or a sandbox with character growth mechanics. Not so much digging the RPs that are just character-writing anymore, which is kind of a bummer. On one hand, I'm glad I'm figuring out what works for me, but it's also a...

Jesus, they're just browsing, haha.

Detective Pikachu 👍 I'm in a mild Pokemon mood too. Any ideas for plot?

First RP character was a self-insert Pokemon Trainer OC. Like a couple years ago, I re-imagined them from a Dark-type specialist/gym leader into an aspiring rehabilitor of Pokemon with problem personalities who drags a Magikarp around on a leash. The original character was very generic badass...

Sounds like writer's block, yeah. In your shoes, I would try to identify whatever the mental block is. Sometimes I can do it on my own, but a lot of the time it helps to talk through it with someone supportive, a friend or family member... or a therapist, lol. Historically, my mental blocks have...

to god, if i really wanted to write something, i would just write it myself, which i knowww... but there's one character idea i've always thought would be more fun played in a group. on a whim for a low fantasy rp, i thought of a kid assigned male who started presenting female at their new job...

probably more of an unpopular opinion, but if the i-check has like 2+ paragraphs of "introduction," i'm not going to read it.

Yeah, that's originally why I made this thread.

Hey, no loss in trying. Honestly, I was just looking to play so if you're not too bogged down, I could join a 5e game.

Is this more of a situation where activity goes in and out, and it's more of a waiting game? Or: is there an active way that I can find tabletop games here?

I'd love to try some tabletop or "dice" rp online but I have extremely limited experience. In the past, I've gotten bogged down by character creation to the point I just ghost, which is absolutely my L, but I also don't see the game I flaked on hanging around. What are some suggestions to...

...okay, maybe I should take the energy that compels me to reference the OWL at Purdue for glorified chat RP and reroute that into actually writing a novel. My first post does not sit well with me now. I might revisit this after I put the imposter syndrome away and when I can approach...

Most of my character ideas are for cool powers and twist on archetype. When I go I have no idea where to begin lol. Like I'm working on a cool non-binary salamander ronin time-displaced Samurai Jack style into the present day, but I have no idea what to do with their personality or goals or...

I want to at least try giving my characters clear, intrinsic goals from now on. It's such a hugely emphasized thing in creative writing: even OWL Purdue has a section on "Writing Compelling Characters" that puts character goals at the top priority. But I've rarely seen a RP where players are...

dude if everyone else uses fancy code, and nobody's "worse" than anyone else, i would drop the person with the code lmao. BUT i would add a rule in the first place that says "pls code" because people should know. zero drama no i think that's also a benefit. i want to think there's a way to put...

why would i join a rp where i have to compete for limited roles? if i can choose between a rp where all have to do is say "aye, aye" and participate and i'm in, or do the hard work first before probably being considered... why would i choose the latter option? different characters won't have...

i'm in a weird spot where i want to shift gears to dice/tabletop rp, but i also have 0 experience gming + there's nothing newbie-friendly open atm

characters with motivation, who want something characters with a unique voice: either internal narration or dialogue characters that encourage interesting dynamics characters that have a consistent logic behind their decisions rooted in their personality and experiences that you have to puzzle...
