Creating an RP group is a lot of work, I used to have two on DA a long time ago so I know how much goes into putting one together and keeping it afloat. I'm still looking for ways to bring people together with something fun to do, and the way I did it in the past was with rping, so I'm wondering how many of you out there also like to rp?
If so, what kinds of settings/themes do you like? Sci-fi, fantasy, school life, post apocalyptic, something with factions, etc?
I'm not sure if I would have the time to start something this big right now, but I wanted to see if there was any interest for it, and if so, where it could even be hosted? FA's forums seem kind of inadequate to me, there's not much in way of presentation and customization. DA is where I'm most familiar with things and you can really customize the group's look.
Discord was also suggested to me which would be a first, but I could at least see it working for chatrooms, hell there's even voice chat and image sharing and you can create multiple channels to separate general chat from rp chat,etc.
I don't know many more suitable options than those myself, but let me know what you guys think about all of this! ;v;

It's been so long for me that I'm kind of just craving whatever, haha. In the past I've been in lots of fandom-based ones, pokejinka groups, digimon groups, harvest moon groups, fantasy, sci-fi, military, school life, hell even a sex hotel one. I think the most I've been in were fantasy ones though XD
Yeah, some pokemon can be really hard to gijinka lol. I used to be in a group a long time ago where not only did you have to have a pokejinka, but their outfit had to fit in with feudal japan. For some pokemon I was really grasping at straws for attire! X'D
I recommended Discord because it's super easy to get it, and you don't even have to download the app if you don't want to, it works in browsers too. And art for the group you post could be put onto your FA, and you can simply link your art in the discord chat and all comments and faves and such could go straight back to your FA submission. Then, unlike DA there's no PG 13 requirement so things can get mature if people want it to and there's even voice chat. The only downside in comparison to DA is that Discord is only a chat program, so I wouldn't be able to put up flashy banners all over it but I could at least put up links to important resources like maps, uniform designs, race/class references, etc.
That, and posted art does not guarantee people in the group will see it as much, but idk, it's a lesser thing ^^;
um.. Im into rp, anything really. I miss it, its been a LONG time since ive done it.
It seems really expansive, but the complete lack of art is a turnoff for me so I'd be reluctant to use it. Or maybe I'm just browsing it wrong? idk, I can't even see user icons on there D:
But yeah, art isn't a HUGE thing but you can make it that way. You can host a rp thing with people on here and just have those people enter the story. Than post links to art/character.
AHA... AH HAHA....... /I'llseemyselfout
Anyways lol, the kind of rp group I'm looking for is more like one you apply to be in rather than gathering a group and being like "hey let's do this". The main reason is that I just don't know anyone on here, so it would be like taking a shot in the dark if I gathered random people. Being able to go over applications would also ensure some kind of quality control. The art quality is irrelevant (unless it's like, someone applying with a techno-mermaid princess in a normal school life group or something, lol) but making sure everyone is on the same or similar roleplaying level will encourage people to rp with more than just their favorite partner.
I'm probably rambling but yeah, that's more like what I had in mind! (sorry if I was rambling aaaa;;) o(-<
Because, honestly. I'm just looking forward to joining a group dedicated (Not, To porn. Tease or private adventures? Sure, fine. Whatever. But just not in the overall adventure. .-.) or at least inclined towards regular meet ups and being motivated to do so. This is by far the most energetic thing that I've been waiting for in regards/reforms of actually putting forth effort towards an RP. (If it's anything goes or just an RP in general.)
Speaking of which, what kind Would it be?
But for me personally? idk, right now I'm kind of feeling an itch for something that feels adventure-y, like how Megaman Legends or the Little Tail Bronx (Tail Concerto, Solatorobo) game series felt. So, something like a world where there's a boom of adventurers, explorers, treasure hunters, bounty hunters, bandits and sky pirates and stuff. Maybe there's a legendary treasure everyone is searching for, idk XD. It kind of sounds like One Piece too.
Here's some images from those games to set the mood for what I was talking about though:

But yeah that's just because of what kinds of things I've been into lately. If people are looking for something else then I'd have to think about a different setting, but I do mostly enjoy a good fantasy setting~
EDIT: hmm, two of the links seem to keep breaking for some reason but you just have to paste them and get rid of the one space in each link. The comment won't let me edit them out ^^; sorry about that!
My, Everything came true and so much more. OH MY GOD SWEET BABY JEBUS.
YEEAAAAAH, BUDDEH!
Final Fantasty Table Manners Advanced. (Typo, that turned into a joke.)
But seriously! Final fantasy plus Megaman aspects would be freaking awesome. <3 <3 <3
I would volunteer in a heartbeat.
And, yes. I do so want to try this title.
On another note, how would you go about inviting people? And keeping it together?
In terms of keeping it together, that's going to be tricky. I don't know anyone really so I'm not sure who to trust who is both interested in the group and in putting effort forward to moderate things and help put up journals and updates and help make assets and whatnot. Either way it looks like this wouldn't be something I'd be likely to try and organize anytime soon. :c
... I wonder if I could start a patreon about it LOL /jk jk
And piano themes sounds awesome too! lol you're starting to get me hyped and I don't even know what's happening yet haha~ ;v;
Personally I like fantasy simply because it gives so much freedom in many ways. The idea of something like magic being able to create anything with only limited rules or creatures that are only limited by the imagination really gets me going. Factions can be made as a side story quest in a fantasy setting really easily and gives some push and pull to the world. It also speaks of cultures since factions are often created by different cultures (either religious or state).
Honestly I know nothing about Discord and will have to look it up but I would have to suggest DA either way. As you said the customization is great for a web sight like that. You can really set a mood for the whole story/world just at a glance with the groups front page on DA.
tldr: Fantasy is the way to go because of freedom of creation (at least to me it is), DA for customization.
I'm in the mood for something like .hack// and Summer Wars. But I can get into anything with action, adventure, and exploration.
But it seems like a really fun idea I wouldn't mind trying <3
Roleplaying is really fun. Not sure what else I can add to the table, but just ground rules. Turn order is always important, but it's a real strain if that one guy looses interest or is away because of some unforeseen circumstance.
Establishing rules and turn order is important I think. What's nice is with discord, you can have a few rooms going. List the rules in the header, even turn order. The setting and such.
I enjoy being a teacher in a school setting. Sci-fi is nice, but that can be too open ended, and "godmoding" can occur, which is certainly distasteful. I'm open for what ever.
The place I usually hang out is Sofurry. But ever since discord, I been there most my "free time"
