Roleplay Lobby [new roleplayers: start here!]

What Pokémon would your character be?

Palamon, May 17: If I were to ever use Siorc in a Pokemon style RP, he'd be a Chikorita PokeMera (I have this Pokemon au world where there's Pokemon Chimeras instead of Mewtwo being born) & figured maybe Chikoria would fit him since Chikorita is a feminine Pokemon...

Game vs. Narrative

If you could wish an RP into existence...

Palamon, May 13: An rp about chimeras and or animal people. Or, perhaps Pokemon Chimeras, since this is a Pokemon forum. (People that can transform into PokeMeras struggling to live in a Pokemon trainer society). This is pretty self indulgent of me, though.

Questions about mechanics in forum-style roleplay
