thank you! ♡ and by plotted out, i mean more of a path to follow/arc to play through, rather than a "here's your setting, do whatever you want, no plot no enemies no goals." i suppose a campaign setting could be a good way to describe it! i'm not familiar with dnd or curse of stradd so i can't say for sure, though. i just have grown tired of sandbox rps, given they tend to fizzle out and die in short time due to not seeming to have any goal or direction. i suppose it's a bit hard to explain now that i'm trying to! but basically i like when a gm has a general idea of where to take the story with the characters, an arc or maybe arcs, with enough planned and worked out throughout it all to keep the story engaging, fun, and interesting to write through, rather than being dropped into a (usually barely developed) open setting and being told "okay, do whatever you want!"Glad you are here vii. out of couriosity what do you mean by plotted out settings vs sandbox. Like a well constructed small world vs a sloppy large one? or do you mean more like a set campaign/campaign setting like with curse of stradd for dnd? or do you meana more fixed railroad style plot with multiple stations that you can explore kinda like how mass effect 2 did it?
Hello and welcome to RpNation!
Here is where you can make an introduction post and let us know a little about you, while reading the intros of other people like yourself, and maybe making a new friend!
Before you go any further, though, please take a moment to look over our site rules. They aren't very long, and it's best to know what's expected of you before you take the plunge into the depths of the site.
If you have any questions, check out our FAQ. If there's something you want to know that isn't answered there, ask in the Community Hub -- many of our members are very friendly and happy to help. Or, if you have something to ask that you want to keep just between you and the staff, make a post in Staff Contact instead.
Please remember this is to introduce yourself. If you want to just jump into looking for roleplay players or partners please create a thread in Recruitment.
If you need some ideas on what to include in your introduction to the community, you can mention:
- Your experience with roleplay and how long you have been roleplaying.
- What interests you have within roleplay, such as genre or settings.
- What interests you have outside of roleplay; such as a hobby.
- Why you decided to join RpNation.
- Write about your pet (if you have one).
- Or for something silly, two truths and a lie.
You can use those prompts or just introduce yourself as you wish to the community.
While we are happy to have this thread help you meet and make new friends, please remember this isn't the spot to converse about roleplays, in-depth conversations, or taking over the thread with ongoing chit-chat. ;3
I hope you enjoy your time h
It’s definitely a challengeI mainly came on here because it's hard to find roleplay partners! I'm hoping to find some and make some friends
Hey friend!Hey Zuko her-I mean the names Axel but nice to meet you all!!!
Nope viirune I think you have described it perfectly. The biggest issues with any open world is people taking their hands off. A gm is the game master they are the architect and builder of the world. they need to both design the world and bring that design to reality which means having hooks, quests, and need for the heroes otherwise not much of a good story. even the best writer might have a hard time writing superman works all day at the newspaper cause their is no crime.thank you! ♡ and by plotted out, i mean more of a path to follow/arc to play through, rather than a "here's your setting, do whatever you want, no plot no enemies no goals." i suppose a campaign setting could be a good way to describe it! i'm not familiar with dnd or curse of stradd so i can't say for sure, though. i just have grown tired of sandbox rps, given they tend to fizzle out and die in short time due to not seeming to have any goal or direction. i suppose it's a bit hard to explain now that i'm trying to! but basically i like when a gm has a general idea of where to take the story with the characters, an arc or maybe arcs, with enough planned and worked out throughout it all to keep the story engaging, fun, and interesting to write through, rather than being dropped into a (usually barely developed) open setting and being told "okay, do whatever you want!"
maybe that doesn't make sense! i wish i had a better way with the words and explanations in my head.
