Besides the Last Port; another thing in the works for House Danarya is allowing members to do RP [Role Plays]. The great thing about rps, is that even if you cant write fanfic, in a rp, you're really only playing a minimum of one character. And your often responding/reacting to the world, and characters [played by other people usually] around you. Which takes a huge burden off one's shoulders.
As something of a test to gauge interests, I'm working on creating a ASOIAF RP. --partly as an attempt to kick start my muse, but mostly as an attempt to generate activity in a fun way--
But I need your help. See. I cant decided the setting for the rp. Theres just too many choices to choose from! So I've set up a little poll. You can pick up to 3 options! I also encourage you to post which you chose in the order of preference! Or discuss the topic of a ASOIAF/GOT RP and what sort of character or stories you want to play! The poll closes on the 8th.
“I’m not a Lady, I’m a Wolf!” "He who fights with monsters should be careful lest he thereby become a monster. And if thou gaze long into an abyss, the abyss will also gaze into thee." The tormentor becomes the tormented. People become what they love and hate, because their mind focuses on it."
I though one can only play RP in person together? how would it work?
Okay. So theres two different types of RP.
1. D20; which is your dungeons and dragons, which uses status and dice rolls to dictate what your character can and can not do, and rather or not they are successful in that action. - this however requires a dice function on whatever website or chat program you are using however
2. Narrative; which is more like writing a story, doesnt involve status and dice rolls (usually) and in practice is basically like writing snippets with a group of people where each of you controls one or more characters. - This style is a little more tricky because it requires a greater depth of communication and cooperation between players. And what your character can or can not do is dedicated more by your character's background, rather then a list of skills on a character sheet.
There are also two main base types; Fourm Based RP and Chat Base RP.
Chat Base is faster, as the rp literally happens as quickly as you can type. Its excellent for small groups or one on one rps. (Not so great for groups larger then like 3 or 4 tho.) But it can only happen when the players are actively online. - Chat base is actually how I first started rping. And when we do Snippets on the Discord, its pretty much works like chat based narrative rp.
Forum Based; which is what we will be doing is slower. But you can write longer posts. Its easier to play more then one character at the same time. And it doesnt require all players being on at the same time, and the characters can be spread out within the universe and all players would be aware of whats happening since its all easily accessible. (with the exception of private rps, but we'll get to that in the rules)
-- I'd post examples except I havent rped in years so all my examples would be shitty trash.
What we will be doing is a Narrative forum based rp.
