Personal Advice

• RPs on this site of various nature tend to die out at some point, don't feel too bad and it most likely wasn't even your fault!
  
• I can testify to probably 90% of the user base being incredibly friendly/helpful, so keep in mind that if you need help or have any questions--just ask!
  
• Sometimes you may compare yourself to more experienced role players, or any roleplayer in general. Sometimes you might feel inferior or even useless. That is not the case at all! Just go at your own writing pace (casual, semi-literate, or detailed) and do what makes you happy!
  
• Peeking at active/ongoing group, and 1 x 1 RPs and seeing how they flow can give you ideas and understanding on how role plays work, and what you should do. They may even give you your own role play ideas and or simply be enjoyable to read through.
  
• The admin on this site are incredibly hardworking and active and so this means that RPN is prone to being updated little by little. Keeping up with News & Updates will guarantee that you won't feel confused or left behind when new things pop up!
  

Hope this was useful a bit. c:

Hey is cussing and blood and gore allowed for rp's? I mean that wouldn't be fair if not. That would be taking some freedom of creation away.

I'm here all week.
(Oh god he's here all week Run!)

xD

If there's anything I would be proud of about this place--it would be how welcoming this site is. ^^

Does seem nice :3

Both of those those are allowed. The two primary things restricted on RPN are sexual content and degrading other members (being rude, etc.) If you follow the link that to the rules that Manah posted, you can read more about it there. I would highly suggest reading the rules as your first action on RPN, haha.

Sure it is! For in character/rp anyways. What isn't allowed however is:

• Excessive and unnecessary cussing at an RPN member
  
• Blood and gore that deals with genitalia or is inappropriately described
  
• The above also applies to torture scenes
  
• Anything is allowed as long as it isn't overly descriptive (especially regarding sexual/erotic content) because it can get this site in legal trouble
  

For more information, this link may be useful. I highly recommend reading it. I also second what @Tronethiel said. : )

When you're about to reply to someone's question/statement and someone says basically the same thing right before you post, OR you realize afterwards. It's fine though. I'm just amused when it happens.

Oh, ok. I hadn't heard ghosted used that way before.

I believe it is also referred to as ninja'd. I just prefer the prior iteration. They both work.

Hey, what do I do if I want to do roleplays that don't have huge paragraphs long but also set it up where I have fill out thing for character creation?also what if it's a made up setting and world but its a lot like ours? Is that set in fantasy or modern?

 

[Terratheconfused]

Hey, I'm just a chick that wants to find more people to rp with, although I have no clue how things work here... But yeah. Hope I don't mess anything up lol

The people here seem nice

 

[Terratheconfused]

A Noob is a person who is new but they refuse to admit it and are easily the most annoying people any has to deal with in gaming. A Newb is essentially short for a Newbie or someone who will admit they are new and won't try to act like a pro.

You make a good point

I'm assuming you mean you're more interested in doing casual role plays then compared to detailed ones? In that case, all you have to state in your RP thread that the RP is casual style. Click here for more information on RP types. As for the "fill out thing", I believe you're referring to the tabs that come along with RP threads. See this link for more information on RP tabs to help you out. When you say 'made up setting' do you mean a fictional city or town based in the real world? If so, then that would go in the Modern RP section.

Nah its a made up one.


And yeah, I want to do a rp where people are free to do as many lines as they want for fun.
