had to google. lol
Yesterday I checked out the lfg sections of a dozen different sites and it was literally nothing but 5e on the first page of all of them. I'm so fucking sick of it.
This is why I appreciate sites that separate freeform and system roleplay.
lol, that doesn't help me. I prefer systems. I just don't find d&d interesting.
I'm the other way around, actually. But the last site I left had a pretty big system section. And pretty much everything in there wanted to be run in some kind of D&D conversion. Usually 5e, but sometimes older versions. So I can understand your frustration.
Oh? What systems do you like?
It's even worse when you're already in the roleplay and you just have to pray that the GM has the common sense to not accept that character.
Sounds like they have no intention of plotting at all or want a partner for that matter. I think I would bow out of that conversation asap.
imo, it should be the person who made the RT that makes the introductory post. It was their initial idea, so it should (usually) fall to them. I'm sure there are cases where it is otherwise. But for the most part, it should be the OP.
Thank you. I would say about 80% of the people I've approached about their idea, have asked me to write the opener. If I tell them no, they'll drop the roleplay. I never understood that. I don't mind doing an opener if it's my idea or the plot can have whatever character enter.
Writing the opener is the best part, imo. But since I don't do 1x1s or host groups anymore, I don't really get to do it. I have to be satisfied with making an elaborate introductory post of just my character after the scene has been set.
