  • What is this place about?

    We're all about role play.

    Forum RP, chat RP, table top, LARP, character actions scribbled in notebooks and passed in the back of class -- If it's RP, we love it.

    The RP Repository began life as a site that was just meant to create character profiles for people who either needed a practical and easy to use online character sheet, or for those people who had poured years into the narrative of a character and wanted a place to store and share all that story. Or hey, both. We aren't picky.

    Since then, we've expanded into a warm and vibrant community of RPers from all walks of life. We have active forums, and are currently in the process of concocting a group system for RP groups to store entire worlds inside of -- and have their own private forums (and chats) to play in them.

    The site is constantly growing and changing. All we know for certain is, we're all here to game, and we're never going to stop playing no matter how old we get.
