    Are you interested in non-Pokémon roleplay? Do you only join Pokémon roleplays?
    Sort of, but the only other role play I'd really join is a Grandia themed role play; although I doubt that'd get much activity haha. I get really uncomfortable RPing about something that I'm not really knowledgeable about so I wouldn't be interested in joining a RP based on a topic I don't have much experience with. For example Megan's new Hunger Games role play; I know it specifically states that you don't need to read the Hunger Games books beforehand, but I'd still feel uncomfortable taking part until I had read them. :3

    Back last year in April when Eeveemaster9 created Years of Lies, I joined solely on the storyline. I had no idea for a little bit afterwards that it was based on the Hunger Games.

    Maybe you should just take that mindset! As opposed to thinking that you gotta know the entire story of a series, just read what they've got and see if it makes sense to you!

    • Hello, I'm back! It feels good to be back here. I was wondering if anyone has any RPs they're making, or if anyone can suggest any RPs I could join.

    Don't overload yourself, if I were you, I'd get one going a few months before the other, or just one at a time. A lot of stress comes from simultaneously doing GMing multiple RPs, especially one as big as Youkai Academy and a storyline as convoluted as Kingdom Hearts'.

    • I need some RPing to get back into my writing mindset. Damn, it feels good to be back.

    Let's see...

    Pokemon Fallout - Even though Marin is the only one I've really interacted with in it, it's still fun.

    Earth & Sky - I was happy to get back into it. It's also accepting new members, guys!

    Sacred Fire / Divine Water - My RP. Still need more spots on the Sacred Fire family before we can start! SINE AHP NAO!!


    I might not join another until I feel I'm ready. Especially since now I have to deal with "Real World Problems".

    Danger on the S.S. Anne has a few slots available! I thought I'd let a few more join at the first stop.

    Q: What is your ideal amount of players in an RP?

    Personally I love big groups. It means there is an opportunity to like some people, dislike people, and there is much more choice and variety. Really I think interacting with the same few people non-stop can get a bit tiring and samey XD.

    (Hence why S.S. Anne is now up to 18)

    I've always preferred small groups. In a huge number of peoples, you can lose track when people are posting too often. Anyone remember Focus Shift? That was the perfect amount of people to activity ratio.

    • Q: What is your ideal amount of players in an RP?

    My ideal number of players is anywhere from 3-6. I like small groups, because it makes it easy to coordinate things with people; additionally, there's much more opportunity to create something that one is passionate about when one has a small group of people to share it with (at least in my opinion) rather than a larger group.

    • Q: What is your ideal amount of players in an RP?
    Depends on the RP, normally I'd say 6 including the GM.
    its a nice round number and theres a good chance of at least 3 of them being avid RPers.

    By the way my RP's been up for a few days.
    It's part of a series but not everyone who plays will need to play in the future parts.
    I'd like it if some people signed up within the week.

    Q: What is your ideal amount of players in an RP?

    I'm kind of a sucker for crowds (that 10-15 range, not like 50-60), but they're a bit hard to handle. The RPs with a small group always function a lot better, it seems. I've got a wonderful group of fourteen in my own RP though, so who's to say big groups can't function smoothly too?

    • Sorry to break the flow and stuff, but I've always wanted to get into RP but it's always been hard :c

    What do you guys suggest a great starting point be?

    And...

    Q: What is your ideal amount of players in an RP?

    From a literature point of view, there can be as many as you want, as long as 1) you can make sure that everyone gets equal exposure (provided that they're all main characters) and 2) there's a reason for them to be there, a good reason. Not just "oh he's a transfer student".

    Usually that means around 5-10 people. Too few and it starts to become a monologue, and too many means it's just crazy to follow.

    Of course, if you (the RPers) are skilled enough as a group, you can keep the flow going with any amount of people, high or low.

    sry imma noob :c

    I formally invite you to join mine,
    I work on a person to person level so I'll be there to help you out along the way. Since my RP doesn't require much experience (Just playing some of the pokemon games will be enough to understand) and the forms are really loose allowing a lot of leeway I don't think you'll have much touble.

    Hello. A much needed break from PC might be over now... I kind of needed a restart, hope nobody bears hard feelings.

    Since I read Homestuck and became a total nerd on that, my ever-itching GM fingers have been dying to create RP inspired by it... I think I've figured out a way to do a Homestuck-like RP without too much complications. Would anyone be interested?


    @droomph, a pokémon RP is usually an easy place to start, since you probably know a lot about pokémon. But really, pick a RP that you feel like you really want to play and hope that there's a spot open (or ask the GM personally if there is), rather than joining the first RP you come across that has open spots.

    • Isn't Red a superhero around here?

    Anyways, Hello Red! I'm Lt. Col. Fantastic, but if that is too long and complicated to write, you could just call me Evan!

    Pleased to meet you.

    And I've never read Homestuck, but I would be interested in an RP if it can be pleyed without reading it.

    • DROOMPH. WELCOME TO THIS AMAZING WORLD THAT IS THE ROLEPLAY CORNER.

    There's a ton of RPs for you to join. To start, I recommend you The Pokemon Trainer Academy (lots of spots just opened!), and there's also my own roleplay which is half-full right now (The Pokemon Hunger Games). PTA is newbie friendly and you'll pretty much get your feet wet in roleplaying in nooo time! :)

    Welcome back, Rika! <3

    Oh my, I don't know about superhero ^^' *FLEXES LIKE IRON MAN* but hi Evan, pleased to meet you too. And sure, I'll make it basic enough for someone who hasn't read it to be able to join. Working on the backstory and the workings of the universe now... yes, you heard me. Deep stuff, this will be!
