First of all, welcome! I do hope you're able to find RPs here that you enjoy~

On that note, there are a couple fantasy RPs about, though the only one I've really taken time to look at is Adventurers in Training. Also, I will be making my own fantasy within the next couple of weeks, and it just so happens that it centers around humans who have bonds with dragons.
thanks for the welcome C:

oh sounds pretty interesting! no human-dragon hybrids though, right? :C (or dragons with human forms, maybe?)

Fort loves his dragons ;3.

Kenneth/Gimmie I think you two have it dead on. I view an RP as a kind of collaborative story, where characters start off quite independent and separate but gradually bond with each other and the story becomes -theirs- as a group.

No, no hybrids I'm afraid. That does give me an idea for something in the far future, though... owo

Yes, yes she does ;3

Generally I look at it the same way [and that's how I have to explain it to everyone who immediately thinks that roleplaying = LARPing; nothing against it but that's not what I do D;] as well as a bit differently. I look at it sort of the same way Durarara[!!!] is put together, where you start out with a bunch of little stories that eventually fuse into one huge one. I say that because usually at the start of a roleplay each player is isolated or not really connected to one another besides what the plot forces them to be [unless you have a JP for your first post, among other exceptions] but later on all the characters begin to mesh together and interact to the point where it becomes one big story.
Hmm I think I get it now
. Thanks.

We now have a planning/review thread. Please use this thread to post character SUs and upcoming roleplay plots for feedback and further ideas.

Please avoid posting these kind of things in the discussion thread.

I put it in the lounge since (a) it has no stickies there and (b) that's where the majority of people go to post an OOC/character.

Good point(s); this seems like a good move, since now each thread is a little more specific in what can happen in them.

There may be some editing required on the first post of this thread if you haven't edited out anything that may belong in the other thread. If you have, ignore may ramblings ^^;

@Garison; No prob man, see you around!

I don't think this should fall into the new thread, but if it does sorry in advance. It'd probably wouldn't actually be a bad question to put in the new one, but it seems more oriented for general RPs than a specific one/advice on a specific RP.

For everyone out there, what characteristics do you think an RP has to have to, well, make it? I mean like, what qualities set up a roleplay to fail or to be successful?

@Kenneth - Being SV's and Raikiri's.

In all seriousness though, I think that really there's a lot of factors. The plot has to be good, the GM(s) needs to be good and good characters and activity from those who join is essential. There's a lot of tiny factors (including luck even) that determine whether or not an RP is a success or not.

I think in general most stuff would still fall into the RPD ^^ The new thread is rather for feedback on characters or specific plots. I guess?

Questions and stuff is all still here! I have edited the first post, to be clear, it's just plot feedback / character feedback in the review thread.

Everything else is here.

Each day that goes by I feel more and more distant from my beloved rpc.... :'(

Anyways... has anyone ever considered a sports rp? and before I get bombarded with a bunch of "that would never works" hear me out.

So I think that this would only work in two different situations.

1. Basketball. Rpers control their own character on their own individual team. The other 4 or maybe 5 if you want to write with a sixth man, would all be NPCs. Games could be JP and they could just be up against another NPC team. I feel like i'm leaving stuff out, but i'll just edit if i remember.

2. Individual Sports. Cross Country, Track (i think this would work the best), Cycling, Golf, everyone would be on a team ,but it's not like football or other team sports where everyone has to work together at the same time

So what do yall think? Do you think that a sports rp could ever work?

Theoretically a sports RP would work, it's success really just depends on interest.

It's getting awfully spooky over at Pokemon Fallout Part 2. ("Don't go in there!" much?)

If you're interested in getting involved I'd very much recommend not missing this!~ Is it just me, or are there echoes of Cthulu in my writing? (Personally, I think it's one of my favorite sections of the plot.)

Basketball rp would be awesomeeee Apollo! I'm not too informed on the NBA but if it was based on that then I would be set to join instantly dude.

A football/soccer rp is my dream, though I doubt that would gauge much interest. *sigh

I think an exaggerated soccer/football rp would be pretty fun. I love the sport (Go Chelsea), but I think it'd work better if it was less realistic and more fantasy. There's an anime kinda like what I'm thinking of, but I din't know the name.

I think a roleplay similar to Super Mario Strikers would be pretty great. I'm positive that the whole "I'MMA KICK DAT BALL WITH FIER!" concept would be awesome. I am particularly interested in things such as that.

A fellow Chelsea supporter! :D Blue is the colour, football is the game yadayadayada

I think you mean Captain Tsubasa? But yeah, that would be fun as hell. Like having power-ups and stuff like that. Would make things interesting.

No, I think it's Inazuma Eleven. It's rather cartoonish from what I understand, but I think the over-the-top nature of such a series would be fun. Having abilities, special moves would definitely add more to an RP than just having people create players, win a cup or two, etc. etc.

I think unless the court itself is stylised to make better use of superpowered players (how many special moves wouldn't involve dunking or tossing it across the court?), football would be a better choice. Even the goalie could get in on the superpowers.

Maybe the RP could be based on the Mesoamerican ballgame. (The one found in The Road to El Dorado.)

Y'know, without the getting-your-pelvis-crushed-by-a-nine-pound-rubber-ball and the sacrifices and stuff.
