Roleplaying on our forums is really simple. First you have to be accepted as your custom or canon by a staff member. After this is done you are free to go to the roleplay forums and roleplay under your character's location. You can be in more than one thread at a time. If you wish to roleplay with other members you can put OPEN in your title. If you're doing a personal saga I suggest that you put CLOSED or PERSONAL somewhere in the title or description.
We encourage player interaction, roleplaying by yourself can get dull. Feel free to ask others in Cbox if they would like to roleplay with you or PM them through the forums.
Different Types of Roleplay
Although this is a novella/para RPG if you're feeling lazy and want to do a one liner RP for fun go for it. It might be a nice way to kick back and have some fun.
Novella:
Novella could also be referred to as Novel. This mode is most like a story and tends to be the most descriptive and in depth epic roleplays around.
Multi-Paragraph
This form is a easier version of novella. It doesn't tend to be AS in depth (although it can be) it takes the form of multiple paragraphs.
One Liner
Usually a action or quote.
A general rule of thumb is to use the same tense throughout your roleplay. Most roleplayers now days use past tense and third person.
He did instead of He does...
He walked to the store instead of I walked to the store.
The only time we have timelines is for Events. That is the only time all players will be in the same time. Otherwise your stories are stories scattered throughout time.
There are many resources scattered throughout the site. Feel free to use the Looking For forum to network and discuss plots.
To roleplay you simply start a new thread on one of our roleplay forums. Please let us know if you have anymore questions.
