If real life comes first, why do I feel like a failure for taking so much time to try to get the energy to RP?

I’ve never actually finished making a story.

I honestly kinda feel that. It’s for me just a vicious cycle of, wanting to join RP’s, but filling myself up too full and then getting too burnt out to work on any of them, and then it starts all over again.

Getting kicked out of an RP because I disagree on (OOC!) political and social issues. Fuck that. What happened to putting our differences aside and just enjoying an RP? I… I have no words.

In my time of RP’ing, especially in group settings, I’ve seen two different breeds of general RP styles crop up. The first, which I am personally a bit partial towards, is what I call “collaborative storytelling”. It is, from my experience, a more structured type of RP, with it somewhat...

Question. While I agree that using these images is not the best way to go about this, what difference does it make for the individual using the images to specifically state that it is not their art? Does it make any difference at all? What about giving credit to the original artist?

I've never experienced plagiarism myself, but I understand how horrible it is to create something you love, only to have it stolen by someone else. I'm sorry for you, and I hope that guy gets what they deserve.

Although I agree with the edgelord sentiment, I could probably never play a zombie apocalypse RP. And the reason why, is because I want my characters to feel badass. Not necessarily in a “pew pew they’re all dead” way, but just in a way that I can sit myself down at the end of the day and say...

Amen to this. I don't know, maybe it's just cause I'm an asexual and don't understand the A/B/O dynamics and the whole "oh look, there's my mate" thing or if it's just that I'm a reasonable roleplayer who doesn't want to break the rules of the site, but I find it much more fun anyways to be a...

Yeah I mean, I tend to use the same two or three characters for all my RP’s. But I don’t understand why people would say it’s overused in that sense. They’ve likely never been in the same RP with me using that character, and I don’t just copy/paste, I change the character to fit with the plot...

But that's just RpNation. You live, you move on, you do it all over again.

Bruh. Are the allos okay?… Anyways, I don’t understand the reasoning behind “faceclaim is hot, therefore character is good”. It just perpetrates more of that Disney ideal that the hero is always hot and the villain is cartoonishly ugly. I mean, I don’t like the stereotype, but I do like myself...

And its even worse in group RP's. With everyone trying to be the edgy bastard, it becomes not-fun to have people add another notch of peril every two posts in a group RP and then just sulk in character about how bad it is. Like no, if you as the player are gonna put stakes and tragedy in there...

What is this mess? This looks way too complex for a 1x1, too impractical for a group RP.

Yeah, I mean, just because I’m white and I’m a guy, doesn’t mean that by not wanting racism/homophobia/other forms of bigotry in my games I’m trying to discredit or devalue the struggles marginalized groups do face. But that doesn’t mean you can’t make your stories about those struggles.

For me, it's mostly about telling my story, and allowing other people to help me with it. I'm generally not the most creative or the best writer of plot or other mechanics like that, so having that help of the other players can really help me get those juices flowing. And yeah, I want something...

I apologize, I was just trying to help.

I’m sorry you had to deal with this. I haven’t had any experiences with it so I don’t know how else to help you out, but I wish people wouldn’t have to hear about things like that. That’s just sad to hear about. But that aside, I wish you could have taken a different approach to your post here...

Hello fellow RP'ers! I am currently in the works of making a character, and I was wondering how I could effectively write abuse into the character's backstory without romanticizing that abuse? For context, my character was born and raised in the middle of a decades-long war, and their parents...

Wow... I'm sorry you guys have to deal with these things. For me, it's more simple. I nope out if it's overly dark and edgy, or if it gives off those undertones. Especially if it's a good concept but the players make it edgy.
