I guess this is the best place for this if not well who cares I am the rules yada yada

Anyway as it says, was there a particular post/scene/etc that you wrote or read that stood out to you? Feel free to talk about a few stand outs.

Probably won't be doing RP Awards this year, it doesn't feel like it'd fit this year as much as others so instead here's this.

EDIT: Since this thread got a few replies I'm going to post more questions to further inquire about the state of NCM's RP section. I hope that you'll continue to join in the conversation so we can grow together.

What do you look for in an RP? What does it take to keep your interest and investment? Do you prefer original ideas or rps based off something you're familiar with?

RP Planning

So, I guess this is the best place to post this honestly, but it's a bit of a discussion potentially!

Currently, I'm in the process of planning for an RP. Taadaa. But more than anything, I'm curious on how much you all plan out when you're starting the planning stages of the RP. Obviously, you can't plan out everything and still have player influence, but you can plan beats. Do you have every potential story beat planned out? Do you have a vague outline of what you want? Do you bother planning at all?

I'm curious, cause we've got a decent array of styles of hosts here, so I want to hear from some of ya. ~~And we can use this forum a bit too.~~

The Big List of RPs

Tue, 05 Nov 2019 05:19:47 +0000

Hey all, so I was thinking about all of the different Roleplays (RPs) that are on this site, and how confusing it might be for a new person to navigate through all of that. I thought it might be helpful for them to just have a place to go to quick reference what all the active RPs are, who's accepting, etc. So without any further ado, here's the list. For the sake of people looking for RPs to join, I'm also going to include new interest checks and out-of-character threads (OOCs) that haven't yet started or closed out, which do not need the "accepting" label as they are, of course, accepting. These will be at the very top.

For prospective hosts, I would appreciate if you would either let me know or announce it in the thread if you decide to close an interest check or OOC due to lack of interest on either yourself or the RPers' parts. If you do not, I will give the interest check or OOC three months without you having made an in-character thread (IC) before declaring it inactive and taking it off the list.

If you find that there are any discrepancies, such as members not being in the RP anymore, or an RP being tagged wrong, please let me know either through Discord or here.

If you want to know when this was last updated, just check the very bottom of this post.

Credit to various people such as LordCowCow, Saikazo, Skaia, Cheshire Toon, and Yui for their help. Without them, this list wouldn't be nearly as extensive or thorough.

Terms

Spoiler

Conditionally Accepting - Usually applies to RPs that have already started. This means that the RP is accepting new members, but there are conditions, such as waiting a few weeks while the host integrates the character into the RP, or having to pass some sort of standard set by the host. While most RPs have a standard for new applications, conditional acceptance RPs might be a little more difficult to join.

Isekai Genre - Used to describe when characters are transported into another world, usually a fantasy one, but not always.

Seinen Genre - When the RP targets adult males around the age range of 18-40. RPs are usually depicted in a more mature light and often include more explicit content such as gore, sex, and violence.

Shounen Genre - When the RP targets young males around the age range of 10-18. RPs labeled as this are mostly idealized and well-rounded.

Help Desk Rules

Wed, 17 Apr 2019 00:32:19 +0000

First I'd like to explain what this is. Especially for people newer to RPing sometimes making a character or writing good posts can seem intimidating. So this place is a safe place to ask any questions and request criticism on ideas, posts, characters, or even an RP itself.

It will also hopefully have various guides and such to help out.

Now for the actual rules...pretty simple.

1. Site rules apply

2. Especially no flaming. This isn't a place to be rude for rudeness sake. Any idea is allowed (as long as it's SFW) and shouldn't be mocked. Heavy warns for anyone doing this.

3. If you wish to post a guide or something for resources you must first get approval from me. Send me a PM with the contents.

4. Anyone is allowed to give feedback and answer questions but I reserve the right to take this away from anyone if I find they're being unhelpful or harassing.

5. If you want criticism on a post, character, or RP idea either link to the post if it's already posted or put it in a spoiler.

6. More may be added later.
