Just wondering if y'all know where we can continue to find more groups of people to RP with, sometimes it helps to post your interest checks on other sites too so you can find that perfect RP partner! Anyone got any good ones?

The big circle of RPG affiliates and rivals would have to be Iwaku Roleplay, RPNation, and Role-Play Adventures. I don’t want to link to them, as I think that’s advertising but knowing their names should be good enough for you to approach if that is something you really want to do.

To be honest, this site is my first time trying out forum RP so I don't have much knowledge in the realm of forum RP. However, if you're looking for another way to play tabletop, see about Roll20.

I like RPoL.net although it's not very popular

Pros:
  • I like how when you join a RP, you join under your character's name, not your username. So unless you're communicating with other players on the side, no one knows who you are except the GM. It's great for keeping personal grudges out of the RP.
  • HTML is also much more versatile than BBCode.
  • I also really like how each RP is basically its own subforum, with little sub-threads you can separate accordingly therein. One thread, locked and stickied, containing rules, another for worldbuilding stuff, another for a character roster......great organization on this site
  • going one step further, you can toggle which players are able to see which threads. So you can have several stories going on simultaneously, and keep most your players out of the loop to avoid metagaming. Or if you have co-GMs then you can give them special moderation threads, for discussing penal actions against belligerent players. That sort of thing. You can probably create a thread which only you can see, and use it to take GMing notes for future subplots, etc.
  • If you like tabletop, the site has a ton of built-in die roller RNGs, with built-in modifier features and such.
  • Finding games you like is extremely fast and easy since you can narrow your search according to tags/keywords, game system (DD 3.5, GURPS, whatever), activity level...


Cons:
  • Moderators are draconian as fuck and also sort of moronic. I was nineteen years old when I got banned for being "underaged" in an Adult-rated game, and when I asked them to provide the proof which made them believe this decision was correct, they basically said they don't need proof since they have a "better safe than sorry" policy when it comes to minors and statutory sexual harassment or whatever the fuck.
  • Also their portrait system sucks and is useless.
  • As aforementioned, it's a pretty small community.
  • If you limit your game searches to "free-form" only (basically free-writing, like we do here), your options are severely limited, since most games are tabletop-based.

@pugbutter A minor heads up. Not 100% sure that's allowed. Not that it ever seems to be enforced. But directly advertising other sites on a forum, is probably not a great idea. Just don't actually like them next time, and tell them to google it. :3

@SleepingSilence I didn't link it. This site automatically hyperlinks if you place text directly after a period.

case.in.point

Read the Raw if you don't believe me. I used no [url] tags.

I used to be a member with the username Corrosion, but I quit after around a year. I just think the site isn't what it used to be. Still, it has an active community.

NationStates has it's own roleplaying subforum and it's pretty good.

btw mates, if any of you have any RuneScape accounts which you're not using anymore, mine is banned from the forums and I need an alt account which has a Total Level of at least 350. Send me the credentials in a PM and I'll pay you in, I don't know, blowjobs or something.

A very G-Rated Community at that. I'm a member, but definitely not one of the best alternatives.

I've tried out the RP Repository and ...roleplayer DOT net or something similar in the last few months. The former has a fairly active community, and great design, but IDK I just couldn't get into it. Ditto the other one.
