Announcement: Making an RP

Alucard009 — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 06:14:05 GMT

Since the RPs I've made have been successful on other forums, and because Robert said it's one of the reasons I should join here, I'm thinking of bringing one of them over to here. Introducing: Insane RP Adventure (IRPA for short) AKA (As Rob said I should advertise it) The RP For Lazy Bastards Basically, it's a go at your own pace and do what you want RP. You can either do things in a way that makes sense or throw logic out the window and make things work how you want it to. The plot: ...

Rey_J's latest idea

Rey_J — Sat, 08 Aug 2009 05:38:37 GMT

I may sound like a leech or something with this idea, but even so, I want to hear what you all really think of this. This RPG idea of mine could be considered what will help to mold my own game by taking scenarios I've made up in my mind and putting them forth; roleplayers would take up the roles of characters in each situation (including the good, the bad, and the ugly) and also conspire to get the drop on us...I think. For example, the first scene takes place on a large, floating, ...

Why Your RP Failed: Tips & Tricks to a successful RP

Azure Flame — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 08:33:40 GMT

I was thinking that we should have a topic, as a database on why and how RPs have failed over time, which can help newer people who are just starting to make RPs by showing them what should be avoided. Lack of detail - One of the most basic reasons. When an RP doens't give the most basic details (which set up the story, world, NPCs, etc.), then it can fail in an instant. Lack of detail doesn't draw people as well compared to a fleshed out set of ideas. Lack of detail can also tie in with ...

Deathmatch

Scott — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 23:45:32 GMT

So I was thinking, like:
How about an RP with no storyline?
That you could play repeatedly...
And have fun at the same time?

The answer came to me: An arcade style game!
By arcade style, well, I mean with modes like Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, Sabotage, or others.
(You can post ideas for matches)

I'll continue if you think it's a good idea.
Y/N?

Zombie RP me and Kayne are working on.

Scott — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 05:27:05 GMT

Setting: Frayerton, Italy. (Made up luls) Italian military was experimenting with new chemicals to put in their warheads. They decided to use a couple humans as samples. They showed increased aggression and hearing. Some even displayed new abilities, such as increased agility. Some became unnaturally muscular and ape-like, dragging their knuckles. One day, a Squad of German soldiers raided and slaughtered everyone in the scientific facility. The germane then attached the radiationed warhead ...

4-way battle commentary

Asakura — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 12:01:42 GMT

Because I love to comment on things I read... that was how I was taught in school. I just have to comment, may be it a lol, a short one, a long one... I just have to comment on the good and the bad. Besides, I'm sure we can learn from each other in these commentary. What we like, what we don't like, what was understood, what was not understood. It helps improve one's writing when other people give feedback(s). That is how we learn and grow, giving and taking ideas. See, you can learn ...

Experiences/Level of Roleplaying

Asakura — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 08:24:37 GMT

Just wondering on where everyone is... A get to know each other thread on strictly roleplaying skills. So, tell us about the experiences you had, schooling you did, interest on writing in your own words/thoughts, and perhaps how you like to RP. It would give everyone an idea, more or less. ------------------------- Let us start off with: We have RPed since 2004 and has been jumping from thread to thread on Gaia ever since 2005 as most threads do not last long or the owner ...

Regarding the Character Sheets...

United Abomination — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 16:57:50 GMT

Star Wars: Republic Commando based RP

Scott — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:15:38 GMT

Alright, search wiki or w/e if you have no idea what Star Wars: Republic Commando is. Anyway You are a Republic Commando. You were bred to be the best, and are the best. While your normal clone brethren are on the frontlines, you will be infiltrating key enemy bases, raiding pirate camps, or much, much more. Don't die on me out there, I trained you since you were..."born". I care about you as much as I would a son. Sergeant Van Keerson, addressing the Commandos before ...

Looking for hardcore, experienced, Roleplayers

Tiduseya — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 22:08:42 GMT

Pretty much the Roleplays I've seen in this forum have been either Okay or below par. I'm not insulting anyone, I'm just not used to the style. I'm a Gaia Online Veteran and have an intense craving for an amazing Roleplay experience, if you wish to join me in a Roleplay, send me a Pm with the Roleplays Genre/Name. It can be original or an anime/manga Roleplay, I don't care, as long as you are in character. Then put a paragraph or more explaining it or creating a Scenario. Like I said before, ...

Far Cry 2 sandbox ish RP.

Scott — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 03:48:56 GMT

I know I know, unoriginal. It'll be great fun though. Setting and sh** here Alright, so the short version, you're a mercenary in a fictional modern-day Central African nation in a state of anarchy and civil war. Now, I said it's sandbox-ish because there isnt supposed to be a real storyline. But yeah, there are two factions, the United Front for Liberation and Labour (UFLL, led by Addi Mbantuwe, a former opposition leader) and the Alliance for Popular Resistance (APR, led by Oliver ...
