There isn't truly an order that will 100% work for every situation, and I mean that there isn't one way to do things. A lot of roleplaying and writing in general is reading over your work to see if there's even one thing that you could change to make it better. So my advice would be that before...

I truly think the main reason is that people don't understand how much work they need to put into actually committing to a story and building it up with multiple people, or they just really aren't willing to put in the work. There are times where the role play is going to slow down and it won't...

I really don't get that many ideas from my life. I get a lot of ideas from books I read, video games I play, shows I watch and pictures that I see online. Sometimes if I find a name I really like then I'll slowly come up with a character idea based solely off of the meaning of that name. So...

Even using that as a base of definition doesn't make her examples in the OP manipulative. Although they show a unwillingness to change and a very fixed mindset when it comes to 1x1's with someone else, to call those examples manipulative would be an exaggeration. The parent/boyfriend example...

Calling it manipulative is a large reach tbh. People with those kind of requirements aren't forcing others to do anything, they're most likely looking for like-minded people that are interested in role playing with them. If this was about other role players harassing others into doing what they...

Honestly, I don't find much issue in what they're doing. There are people who would roleplay with that and there are people who wouldn't. Unless they're breaking a site rule or are harassing others for obnoxious reasons then there really isn't a problem with people being demanding. Some just...

Well damn, I wish I could use my menstrual blood for magic so that my period can be useful for things other than causing me unnecessary pain. Why is the world so cruel? Oh...well..they sound quite lovely ;-;

I think a good question ask is what is it that magic can not do in the world you created? What are the limits of magic that can't be surpassed, or if they can be surpassed, what is the major cost? Also, does practicing magic have any major effect on the user? Such as a shorter life span...

Tbh Dragon Age isn't truly about one thing. Every game has it's own, separate plot, they all just so happen to take place in the same world. And yeah, Solas is an ass, and an egg-head, but mostly just an ass.

Straight up, a blighted dragon is the very thing you kill at the end of Dragon Age: Origins lol. Still, it can be a cool idea if you use it in a unique way. Possibly you could have the main plot line lead to something that uncovers the history of the world or the origin of magic? Whether or not...

Ey if ever feel like making a map yourself this website called Inkarnate is a damn good tool to use and there isn't much of a learning curve. But what you have so far for this roleplay looks pretty cool.

Whenever I'm creating fantasy worlds, I like to have a visual representation of the whole map. Since my drawing skills are average at worst, I use this program called Inkarnate. It has a whole bunch of tools that allow me to create my ideal map, and there isn't a gigantic learning curve. As you...

For me it depends entirely on the context of the roleplay. For example, if I'm basing my roleplay off of a book, live TV show, or movie, then I would go for real-life face claims, because in my mind whenever I imagine characters from those types of media I imagine real flesh and blood people...

@Bone2pick, I wasn't arguing that the terms being relative make them invalid, just that I personally don't find much use in using them. I find nihilism too extreme to describe my sentiments on good and evil. There are some things that I would consider evil, but I also understand that my...

High school roleplays become boring whenever they're just regular old high school roleplays. I'd rather not roleplay out something I do in real life anyways. What I enjoy more are high school roleplays that throw in supernatural things into the mix, or come up with a realistic situation to spice...

I rather hate posting requirements, because then I makes me add fluff to a post which is one thing I hate doing. If a post doesn't require me to write 300 or 600 words in response then why would I????? I know they exist because people want to avoid one liners, but it does make the experience...

Personally speaking, I don't believe in a "moral truth" so to speak, as morals vary too much from situation to situation and also depend on what culture you belong to or what period of time you were born in. Like someone else has already mentioned, the terms of "good" and "evil" are relative...

Personally, a good character is one that has been developed before the posting even begins. Similar to a sentiment already shared in this thread, I don't feel as though people put enough effort into the pre-planning phase of their character beyond just 3 or 4 paragraphs of backstory. Heck, I...

Sorry for not replying earlier! What will really set you up is giving your villain a motivation, however simple or cliche that motivation might be. There is always something that has happened to them to bring them to where they are now, and there is something that drives them. Personally...

One thing I would definitely urge is for you to put great thought into where you want the story to go. Even if you are going for a more sandbox-like theme, there still needs to be an overarching plot so that the roleplay doesn't veer off course and into oblivion. I recommend reading...
