I don't really roleplay on either, I pretty much just come to RPN to talk shop, but RPN if only because Gaia's forum tech is dreadfully ancient, and because Gaia has a bunch of ads, which at one point had malware hijacking the browser tab, so that pretty much killed my interest in logging in...

What you said about Discord is true. I wonder if roleplayers being older is part of it too - maturity slowing people down, developed minds needing more enrichment/accuracy, that we have more years of experience and knowledge to create deeper stories. I would wager that most teens, wherever their...

Not really saying anything unique here, but I think it's fine if someone asks for yaoi. To each their own. I just won't agree to a roleplay with them. At best, the term suggests they're looking for an anime/manga-esque roleplay, and I prefer something that has a more realistic feel than what...

Or if someone is set on having such a system, then maybe "literature" would be the better word over "literate"? The model still creates an echelon in which people will kick down or punch up at others, and it still makes it sound like one style of roleplaying is superior to another, but at least...

To be clear, speaking only for myself, I don't care if someone has preferences. I care about how the "lit" nomenclature might be influencing those preferences, how it might be shaping someone's perceptions of other people who have different styles or preferences, and how it suggests this idea...

Nah, you're good. I'm a mouthy brute. I won't shut up about lit/semi-lit without imposing the constraint, when the topic is about how the scene has evolved, not about why that particular nomenclature is or is not flawed. I was imposing it more for myself if not anyone else, lol.

Thanks for clarifying! I do like that idea better than one based around post length.

To keep from derailing the thread, I'll reply this once and not say anymore on the topic. If you want to continue the discussion past this point, my inbox is open, or feel free to open a separate thread, but, if I remember right, this topic has come up once or twice within the past year. I'm not...

* The use of real people as face claims has become more commonplace. In some circles it has evolved into having additional restrictions based on celebs denying permission for use of their likeness and GMs rejecting the use of celebs who have done criminal/questionable things. * The roleplayer...

When other characters pet my character's pet Peeve! D: <

I honestly like this idea, lol.

What makes me actually consider an interest check besides an interest in the premise? The GM has laid out a social contract (or "rules" if you prefer) and have covered the basics so that there is no guessing as to what their expectations are. In general, that all the basic details have been...

I let people reuse characters as long as they fit the roleplay. A lot of roleplays die before a character can really be used, so I get not wanting to put a character away, or just because someone really enjoys the character. I've done it myself. I think one way to reduce the issue of character...

I agree with Cogwork. I think "parents kinda suck" is the running theme in a lot of backstories. People do kill off relatives for the sake of convenience or melodrama even when the character is the age of the majority. If there is an issue, it's more with that than the age of a character. For...

Just to clarify my stance right quick, I don't think style preferences necessarily exempts someone from extending kindness. I might not care for the long-form styles of roleplay, because, in general, that style doesn't suit my reading preferences, but, as a team player, I could still recognize...

Gonna say upfront that I don't disagree with jealousy being a motivator in at least some cases. Also, to be clear, I do agree that it's good to exercise mindfulness, or to be a good team player and extend praise to everyone in the group. You never know when someone might actually need it. So...

I don't roleplay on here often and can't answer what works as far as attracting RPN players, but group chemistry is important, and finding likeminded players works best if you are upfront about your expectations and how you'll run the roleplay. How often do you expect players to post? Do you...

It's ultimately your call as the GM, as Ayama pointed out, but keep in mind that your responsibility will be to 2+ other players. As long as you communicate your expectations in the interest check you increase the chances of finding like-minded players. However, time away from a roleplay means...

Maybe the algorithm has made a lapse in judgment on what I like, but based on how often she seems to be the subject of articles, I guess Shadowheart is really popular among Baldur's Gate 3 players? If so, I don't get it! She's Taylor Swift with Ouchie Hand! :P In seriousness, the writers did a...

@Yunalescaa @FrostyDragon Out of curiosity, what font size is preferrable? What's the minimum you can comfortably handle without having to zoom in or resort to other tactics?
