Roleplay Discussion Thread

So, I've got one spot open for the RP Begin, Again (Kanto Journey RP). You'll get a shiny Tepig as your starter. Anybody want it? Put your SU here.

Pokemecha, my RP still has several spots open if anyone wants to join.

So, I had an idea for a simple RP based on Mabinogi (find out more Here) basically, you simply make your character, (any amount of players can be in at a time, and SU's will stay open.) and battle enemies, explore and go through dungeons/grottos in parties together. Of course, minor bunnying will be allowed, and a few posts will have to be edited, but what do you think?

I think it needs a plot... like a certain direction if you will.

What would you guys think about an RP that will let you play as a pokémon, beating others to grow stronger, battling in gyms and traveling a region where there were no humans? I've got game mechanics that will work. Only some thoughts...

- The gyms would be a bit difficult, or really easy, depending on what type you are. Might be unfair, unless we go around this by giving each gym several gym leaders and you could choose who to battle? Sort of similar to Dento and his brothers.

- OR you could assemble a team of 2 or 3 pokémon. Thus, you'd be controlling a several types, and the team would be what fought in the battles and the pokémon league tournament at the end... yes... this sounds good.

... I think I'll go with the Team idea. Or do you guys think it would be better with playing just one pokémon and doing the gym leader switch thing?


Also, the pokémorph RP I created didn't seem to turn out as interesting as I thought xD I guess there were too many players and a little too loose storyline. I also guess I should have stayed as a playing character there, so steer a little bit. Oh well. I'm learning as I go~

The Team idea is great! Something like your Captured RP. :) Count me in if you decide on making one. A few days ago, I've been pulling out of RPs such that now I only have 4, or 3 if nothing in that RP happens, going on. :/

Well, I'm a player in one (two if you count yours!) and a GM in 3. And if I posted this, I'd want to be a player in it.......... so I'm not gonna post it for a while. But you know, of course I've already got the OP written up xD

So, this idea is mine. Don't steal it, anybody.

Hey all! I've an open spot for a Sea Explorer in my PMD RP. If oyu want to SU, come find it here! Thanks. :)

Oh, no, it wouldn't be like the captured RP. There, people have to wait for each other to post all the time. This would be more like Begin, Again. Chapterwise, with a more intense storyline. And you'd control 3 pokémon by yourself, so it wouldn't even be like the PMD RPs where you are several players on one team. :)

Yeah, everyone, come join Team Berryaholics of the Sea Exlorers!

Could I have some help with a roleplay?
me and my friend are working on it. Its about Lucario and his partner set in sinnoh. Where team rocket(not those bozos), have launched an evil plan to brainwash all of the pokemon and do their bidding. A bit of pokemon school(:)), a lot of action. Also its in the future so theres no pokemon catching but on their tenth birthday, every child gets a single pokemon from the legendaries.

What help do you need? We could also help you. Your story is...well....quite too simple...maybe add more details...like how do Trainers catch Pokemon and such. :)

I've my own question now. Do you think it would be better if I, the GM, lets the players choose what gender their starter would be or should I fix it for them? O.o

Sorry, wasting space:)
just decided that we just need some people to play our roleplay in the future:)
gd night folks.

Well, unless they're trying to get an alternate out of a single-gender species, I don't see where it should be a problem. Personally, I'd let them choose their starter's own gender. But, that's just my two cents worth.

I have a question, or a wondering.

How many RPs at once do you think one can be in? I mean, how many RPs do you think you have time for? As a player, that is.

RHCP: 1) If I can make time for it, I'd be interested.
2) I can only really manage 3 roleplays at once myself, and that includes other sites, but this depends on the amount of dedication that's required for certain roleplays. If it's long posts but slow-moving, I can handle a lot of them if I'm motivated, if the expectations are short but faster-paced, then I can't manage many of those. My schedule doesn't let me stay on for a wide-stretched period of time, but I do have a specific lengthy amount of time that will let me make longer posts depending on the day, and how motivated I feel.

What I don't really understand is how much freedom we should give the roleplayers.

If we give them too much freedom they'll go wild and get carried away.

But if we do the opposite the story will go dull as you have to do exactly whatever the GM says in the 10paragraph plot with every action stated.

So I'm wondering, how much freedom should we give people?

Give them freedom but not for everything. For me, I give freedom for their imagination and creativity but I'll state what they have to do and so on.

How long does it generally take for a roleplay to get approved?
