Hi!

Lately I've been seeing more and more RP prompts, and it might be silly, but I have no clue what to do with them? Is it a RP one can join, or is it an idea free for the taking? Something to be discussed?

I'd really like to know, because some of them are super interesting!

RP Prompts are little snippets of info on which you can base a next RP.
Quote:
Your group meets a man-made creature that claims it is sentient and should have the same rights to freedom as other sentients. In a fantasy world, this may be a golem. In a sci-fi world, this may be an android. The creature's creator disagrees; the creature was created at great cost to perform an essential task, and they do not wish to relinquish ownership of their creation. Who do you side with?

For example, one of my characters could be paired up with yours and play out this scenario in whatever way that applies to them. They could both be part of the group, or we could be playing on opposing teams - one of is part of the group, the other is the creator of the creature. Heck, maybe one character IS the creature?

These prompts give you a basic storyline/idea to work from, where you fill in the details yourself. It's the same as if someone posts on the forums going "I want my character to get into this situation and am looking for someone else to play the other role(s). We can discuss the details once we've picked our characters."

Does that make more sense? :)

Yes, thank you! I saw an idea I really liked, but I didn't want to steal anyone's idea :)

They're freely given! Please do play them in any way you see fit. Start a new RP to play it out, or use it to spice up an existing RP you have going on. :)

Some prompts are complete plot ideas, and some will just be a single situation, character, feeling, challenge or even a photo to use as inspiration. :)
Thanks for this, I was also curious about them ^^

Thank you! I stole the one recently posted on Facebook by RPR :)

I will try to remember to post a clarification in the news this week as well, since you are not the only ones to have this question. :)

And I am SOOOO excited to hear that you are using that prompt! It's a really good one. :D Let me know how it turns out?

I just started a thread on the LFRP Adults today, so I'll give it a few days and see if anyone will take the bait ;)
