At the moment, I loathe when I make plans with my character and someone else's character to ship and it's pretty clear that was my desire and other plans are made without me being notified, it kinda grinds my gears.
Additionally and just in a general sense, if a big decision, no matter how...
I guess if there's anything it's when canon characters are part of a main pairing in a 1x1. No hate on those who do because I have no doubt for those who like it always have a lot of fun and that's great, but for me personally, when I want to write in a fandom setting, I prefer to have OCs as...
DIgimon has been the main one for me. It seems to be incredibly niche on RPN and it's hard to even get any DMs, let alone any roleplays going (1x1s only but seems there's a solid group scene for Digimon every now and then).
I like to decide on a rough concept and see what happens. Sometimes writing my character's backstory helps immensely with everything else: powers, personality, little appearance things that almost nobody will remember five days after reading the sheet. Or sometimes doing it in chronological...
This one is more directed at my own hypocracy. I come up with a solid RP idea, but I frustrate myself because writing it out would be such a pain. Coming up with how to present the idea, what to include or not include in the interest check, and a general list of things I have to check off...
In general? Since the elementary schoolyard days when I was 8-11 years old. I think imaginary play should be considered as "roleplaying". A few buds and I had just our love for our childhood favorites, our fondness for fantasy adventures, and our imagination to create some wild, sometimes...
In my experience, it tends to be older fandoms. Ones that are 20+ years old. For me personally, though, DIgimon has been the most difficult. I suppose it's tied directly to how most prefer Pokemon over DIgimon, which I totally understand. The latter isn't as popular, but I personally prefer...
Oh this is a fun topic!
Well, I guess my favorite one to go for will always be the traits and mannerisms that typically surround a himbo/knucklehead kind of dudebro. Maybe it's easy for me to write because I think a lot like them, but I don't know growing up watching anime, those kinds of...
This used to be such a big thing back in the day of roleplay battle-specific 1x1s. Some sites had this rule that you couldn't autohit, powerplay, or whatever you want to call it. And I never understood the big deal. Like you said, it not only slows down combat, but it's such an unrealistic...
Am I too old to say rawr? Probably, but I come from the time when rawr xD was popular, so hah!
Anyway, yeah I'm one of the many fossils on RPN, though I will admit I came to RPN a tad later than most of the ones I've seen. This hobby is an interesting one, is it not? I started way back in 2007...
I have been around the block a few times and this is a subject that always comes up and, in my experience, is a touchy subject for both sides. And I totally understand the side of "just don't use commissioned art" as well as the "I'm not using it for profit, so what's the big deal?" side. I have...
Digimon would be my current obsession. I know some might not think it's obscure, but I think out of the two "monster"-related franchises with "mon" attached to their name, Digimon is easily the least popular and often underappreciated IMO. I honestly love it and am always up for any kind of idea...
Oh yeah I remember. And even then the roleplaying side of the site was fairly active. I recall there being close to 20 active roleplays at once when it was at its peak. A few months back, I thought of the site and wondered if it was still up and running, but seems like it's dead dead dead. 😅
Oh man, OneManga forums. I was on there when it was still a thing. I remember they had a very interesting roleplaying style. I wasn't really that active. Think I joined a couple of roleplays before I faded to other sites. I was more active with their graphic and poetry competitions than I was in...
GMing can be stressful. It can be downright hell. You have to balance so many things: include everyone in the plots, create little scenarios for people to build their characters organically, make sure nobody steps out of line oocly (like be an a-hole for no reason), make sure ic drama doesn't...
Heh.
Yeah the hobby goes through its fair share of trends. I don't know about on here specifically, but I've been at it longer than I'd care to admit and I've noticed people have their preferred "flavor of the month". Whether it's RWBY, Naruto, a general slice of life, or even superheroes, it...
Anything pertaining to incest. That includes both step and biological pairings. ERP or not, I just cannot stand it. Having personal experiences with it, I just refuse to understand what people actually see in that.
And while we're on the subject (somewhat), age gaps (within reason) are also...
I have been at this hobby for over a decade, so I have sampled all flavors of tropes and personalities. I've played psychopathic killers with a god complex. I've played innocent virgins with a glass house impression of the world. I've even tried my hand at cranky old man who hates everyone and...
