Vacant Attachment: a paranormal/horror interest check.
Vacant Attachment http://i45.tinypic.com/14df14w.png The Situation: The house on Hart Hill has been empty for a long time. The last family to live there -- back in the 80s -- disappeared without a trace. Once, the house had a reputation: deep in the night, strange things would happen on the hill. I...

Re: Attempting a return to RP's / Looking for a mentor
In the tab system, a "place" basically functions the same as a thread. You can have more than one, so there can be multiple RP threads -- almost like getting your own little subforum for your game. Additionally, each place a GM creates also appears as a room in the RP's chat. If a GM only ...

Re: What makes you the happiest in RP's?
I love it when communal brainstorming serves to churn out something really amazing. The mixture of perspectives is probably my favorite thing about roleplaying. There are certainly downsides to communal brainstorming, but it's led to ideas I probably never would have thought of on my own. And I real...

Re: Pokemon - They're pretty F@#$% DANGEROUS!
The biggest problem with injecting logic into Pokemon is that, well... it tends to entirely collapse . Simply taking aking Pokedex descriptions and sizes at face value, humans are... not going to last very long. At all. :v Not to mention all the other staple concepts of Pokemon that would collapse i...

Re: Tab Feature will kill this site.
The problem with having a "literacy" level is that there would have to be some consensus as to what constitutes Relaxed, Standard, Advanced, and Expert, and... I don't think that's ever going to happen. In all my years of RPing through various mediums, I've never seen it happen. xD It's be...

Re: Roleplayer's Timeline
My first RP experiences that I can recall were with Furcadia and Neopets (by 2002 or 2003 for Furc but potentially earlier for Neo). Not so sure about Neopets (although I'm sure it was a gateway for many children), but Furcadia may be worth a mention. It was originally released in '96. I've seen an ...

Re: need help to ease my self back in
Hmm, let's see. Playing a quiet loner often does make it hard to get any action going. RPs thrive on interaction, and realistically, you can't always rely on someone else's character to take the initiative and talk to yours. I've seen lots of people get stuck because their character would go off on ...

Re: Tab Feature will kill this site.
I agree with the general trend of comments here. I haven't had any more or less success with the tab system than with threads, really. All RP deaths I've had have been due to inactivity, either on my part (as a GM) or on my players' parts. It would be nice if we had a notification system for tab RPs...

Re: Genders - Males Playing Females and Females Playing Male
freakofnature, that's really sexist behavior on their part, and I would call them on it. If someone really couldn't afford the same respect to a romantically forward/sexually aware woman vs. a romantically forward/sexually aware man, I'd just ditch 'em. Enjoying playing male characters in and of the...

Re: What is it with people and...
I'm turned straight off when I see a word, sentence, or paragraph minimum. I'll make an exception in the latter case if the minimum is one, for obvious reasons, or two, which I find to be generally reasonable. If more is someone's preference, that's fine, but I'll leave it to them. A minimum doesn't...

Re: Creating Role Plays
It could be a matter of finding a group that you work well with. I'm pretty selective about which RPs I join and have always leaned toward GMing, but when I find one I'm prepared to join, I usually love it. However, at this point, I definitely know what I like. You may have to do some exploring befo...

Re: What's a strange thing you ate one time?
Pepperoni with whipped cream. Which isn't quite as bad as it sounds.
Also, bear jerky. Which was pretty darn good.

Re: The Nature of Scars
Yep. I've spoken to Baron, and he's spoken to Eteles for me. I meant to edit my last post before now. Orz Anyway, they're both okay with doing what I proposed if it's feasible, but locking onto a specific idea that does everything we need it to do is easier said than done. Doing my best, though. xD ...

Re: What Systems Would you want to See an auto combat app co
Pathfinder would be my first. Standard D&D 3.5 would probably also be a good idea. Those are the two biggies for me. And, of course, there's D&D 4e. I don't play it myself, or at least I haven't yet, but a lot of people do. M&M and BESM would be neat although I'm not sure whether enough ...

Re: Angel Resurection: Let the battle Begin!
Is there a posting frequency for this game? I saw that the previous one had a rule of once every 3 days. I'm pretty swamped with school right now , so sometimes my posting can drop to once or twice a week. Is that okay this time around, or are you still requiring the 3 day rule? :,D

Re: What makes you the most cross in RPs?
Well. Here's another thing that bothers me. Excessive use and abuse of the conditional form. Sato would get up and cross the room.

Re: The Nature of Scars
Yeah. Hrm. We may be able to briefly move Soren offscreen until such a time that Baron is able to pick him back up if it's okay with Baron. I can NPC any roles needed and tweak the story as necessary, but the situation is pretty tightly constructed right now, and Soren is currently the link to the e...
