I've had an account here for a while, but I never knew what to do with it. It takes me a long time to find space to draw my characters. I love to draw interactions, and do art when it comes to RP, in fact its rather important to me.

Currently I only have a god in my character list. Mainly that is simply to establish the rest of the characters that will follow. I don't intend to play a god character. I have a witch on the way.

I generally play fantasy type RP, and don't really like to plan much. Sci Fi sometimes comes into the mix as well. I favor monsters a lot, so those might crop up quite a bit as I build onwards and upwards.

Hopefully I can get more characters to fill my basket, and get some takers on some RP!
If anyone has any pointers as to what groups or such to seek, that would be great!

Thank you very much, to you as well! I hope to become much more active around here.... is most/all RP here done publicly via forums?

Thank you so very much! I hope the same for everyone here as well!
Welcome to RPR!

Monsters are great. If you post an ad in the Looking for RP board, I'm sure you'll be able to find some takers.

Not all. Some are done in groups or PMs. Others take place off site using other various mediums (social media, chatting/video apps, games, ect).

Hi and welcome to rpr. :)
Hullo welcome! :3 <3

Hello there, Forgess! While I've honestly never given Sci-fi a proper shot, I'm a huge fan of fantasy roleplay as well. I'm sure you'll find some amazing plot soon enough! As for groups, I actually do run one myself. It's a magic-Academy roleplay set in the medieval era, more a college setting than say, highschool though! You're welcome to check it out if you like, linked over in my profile. Hope you have a great weekend! :)

The art + RP you do sounds wonderful!

As others have said, when it comes to starting RPs, most people start in the Looking For RP forum to find some other players. There's also a search tool that will help you find what you're looking for within that forum - click "Find RP" in the top menu, then "join game" then scroll to the bottom to adjust your preferences for game types. If you want more info on using that search tool, here's a handy help article.

If you end up joining someone else's RP, they'll let you know the details about how to join in.

If you're starting up your own RP, you have a few choices about how to proceed once you've found a RP partner or two.
  1. You can just create a RP topic on one of our 3 public RP forums: General Roleplay, Sci-Fi Roleplay and Fantasy RP. Keep in mind that because these areas are public, you'll have to make sure the RP stays in the PG-13ish range.
  2. You can choose to RP via private messages, and just create a new conversation thread with all your RP partners as recipients. Since this is private, the only rules that tend to apply are not to do OOC illegal things and be nice to your RP partners OOC.
  3. If you're going to have a whole lot of people in your RP, or the RP setting is going to be very strictly defined and you want to have a place to store world building information alongside it, you might consider starting your own group. This gives you access to profile building tools for the group, but also to creating your very own forums!
  4. In some cases, you and your RP partner might even decide to use some other messenger or game to RP on.

By the by, you can use the "launch chat" button at the top and bottom of any forum topic, whether it's in a private group forum or our public RP forums, to turn your topic into a real time chat! There's also a link in the sidebar of private messages that will let you do the same.
