Multiple Settings Looking for partners.

[Julian Spooner]

Hello friends!

Usually when I'm looking for partners I have a very specific plot in mind. This time is a bit different. I am feeling a little rusty, having been away for a while, and I am more interested in following the lead and being a good collaborator. So, with that in mind: what do YOU want to roleplay? Ideally I'd like to hear from people who have a specific plot/scenario that they really want to try out.

Genres I'm into

Classic fantasy (high and low)
Historical (including time-travel)
Science fiction (utopia and dystopia, space opera, alternate universes, specific plots)

I prefer original but I am happy to take a pre-existing film/book/game etc as a starting point. I am also happy for you to adapt existing characters for our roleplay.

What I like

- Collaborative storytelling and world-building. That means having chats OOC about the storyworld, characters and plot. If there isn't much happening in the way of plot and/or world-building I am likely to lose interest.
- A partner who is good at both introducing plot points and picking up on suggestions. Basically someone who can keep a plot moving. This will likely mean fairly detailed responses and a willingness to double or play side-characters as necessary.

What I'm Currently Looking For

- A long or mid-term roleplay via PM.
- A partner who has some ideas they are excited to try out.
- I am interested in the idea of eventually adding more people to a roleplay to spice things up, but this isn't mandatory.
- Flexibility about response times. I am currently on holiday but I will be starting a new job soon so my response times may vary. To start with I would like to reply at least once a day. As I get busier it will be more like once every day or two. I sometimes drop out of activity for a while, and will understand if you do the same. I often return to roleplays after a long hiatus so please feel free to hit me up if you would like to re-start something, even if it's been a while.

I am more likely to respond to PMs but please feel free to comment here with questions, ideas or encouragement.

Also: if you're interested but don't have a specific plot, hit me up anyway and we can at the very least play some games.

While talking to someone who responded to this, I've explained in a little more detail what I'm looking for at this moment. I thought it would be useful to post here:

A little more about what I'm looking for at the moment: usually I'm the sort of person who comes up with a specific idea I'm keen to try. Usually I have an idea of the storyworld and the storylines of my own characters, and then it's up to my partner to decide how they would like to fit into that and what ideas they have to contribute. I often act as a sort of DM, playing multiple side characters to keep the game moving and throwing in new challenges. At the moment though, I'm keen to play from the other side. To find plotlines/storyworlds that someone else has come up with and do my best to come up with characters and plots that compliment that. I'm even willing to be told what sort of character my partner would like me to play, as an extra challenge !

I know this is putting a lot of the onus on my partner, at least to start out, but I promise I'm a very active player. If you don't have any specific ideas at the moment but you still think we'd be a good match I'd love for you to think of me if you suddenly come up with an idea that you really want to try (and I will keep you in mind likewise!)

Update:

I have about as many roleplay as I can keep up with on the go now, plus a few back-ups!

Thanks heaps to everyone who responded.

Please do feel free to keep contacting me on this thread or via PM, especially if you have an idea you really want to try. I'll be sure to keep you in mind next time I'm looking
