Hi and welcome! I'm Billie. Nice to meet you. :)

Here are a few links that can help you out -

RolePlayGateway User Manual

RolePlayGateway Rules

Also, if you need assistance in actually role playing, feel free to contact any of the folks on here who have dark blue names (see my own). We're Mentors, and we're here to assist folks who wish for help becoming stronger role players.

You'll be able to Private Message folks after you make a few posts throughout the site, so find some things that interest you and start joining in on the discussions!


As of right now, after you get a good grasp of what's okay and what's not okay for roleplays, start having a look around and see if anything is of interest to you. Some of the best places (in my opinion) to start are the Role Players Wanted forum (found here) and the OOC (Out of Character) forum foundhere.

I hope this will help you, and if you have any more questions, don't hesitate to post!

It's alright as long as it doesn't get hot and heavy. Keep all romances, Yaoi, Yuri, Het...and anything else you can think of PG-13. That way, you limit the disturbance to other RPers and so you don't get banned. For example, maybe a small little peck on the cheek or a sweet and simple kiss. ^^ Hope this helped.

Adult content is permitted on RolePlayGateway, but only under the following conditions:
The content is contained within a single post. A corresponding reply will immediately be considered cybering, and is not permitted.
The content has literary value or is otherwise a work of art:
"Slave/Master" roleplays are strictly forbidden.
"Yaoi", "Yuri", "Slash", etc., are all non-literary subjects and are forbidden.


Yaoi is not allowed. Period. It will be moved into the Trash if it is made.

Romance, however, is as long as it coincides with the Rules

Homosexuality, however, is allowed. As long as the RP doesn't center around the character's relationship.

Demonic: Sko and Kronos are both staff. You can tell because their names are in a different color from the rest of us and because of the tag just beneath their names.

As they said, romance and homosexuality are both allowed as long as they are not the focus of the roleplay. If you create a topic requesting yaoi alone, it will probably be locked. The same goes for any romance only RP. They are not considered literary, but cybering. You can read the nuances of the different forums by looking at the stickies at the top of each section.

That said, welcome to the site! I hope you find some fun here.

Music is correct. Kronos and I are both staff, and we know the rules rather well. But enough is enough. Again, Demonic, have a look over the rules, and take the suggestion that Music made; looking at the stickies within a section of the forums.

Now, aside from the last topic, can I help you with understanding anything else on RPG?
