Hot takes: [b]Free:[/b] Fast, undetailed, short, real-time roleplaying from people who probably couldn't write a coherent short story for crap but maybe have experience skype or discord roleplaying. Come here if you like waking up to seven new pages since you went to bed. Don't come here if you like grammar. [b]Casual:[/b] The middle ground section. Lots of fandom rps abound. A couple of paragraphs per post allows planned character arcs and stories to be set by the player rather than the community setting up everything on the fly organically, but still allows for more robust interactions and collaborative storytelling than Advanced. [b]Advanced:[/b] The reason there are so many collabs in advanced is because it's the only feasible way to have two characters from different players interact with each other on Advanced. Very insular. Very 'every player is pretty much just telling their own story and may as well write a book', and very 'I use these exact same fluffing techniques to get a college paper up to the wordcount'. Also, be prepared to spend about a month catching up, reading all the lore google docs, and making your CS. [b]Arena:[/b] [i](tumbleweed)[/i] [b]Nation:[/b] I don't know how you play a whole country, but good on you, I guess. [b]1x1:[/b] 80% will probably be taken off-site and turned into erotic roleplays. [b]Tabletop:[/b] Is more fun in a real-time session where people can talk to each other than on a forum. Use roll20 instead. I come here to write.
