Mozilla Etherpad sounds like a winner too. Half the reason I was asking was because I wanted a collaborative document that I can link to on Trello without having to go through Google.

Hot dogs are already cooked. Might as well just sear them to add flavor.

If you take college seriously, it opens doors. Harvard and Hopkins makes it easier, but you can do well anywhere.

Prefer to brainstorm on Discord for that reason.

I use open writer for all my writing stuff.
Titanpad is also amazing for collaborating, and I was only notified of it's existence about a week ago. It's more or less shutting down in march, but pirate pad looks like it's the same thing. Basically it's a document that you and anyone with the unique url code can edit. It does not send alerts however. otherwise, it's very easy to copy and paste your finished collab anywhere, unlike skype.
Honestly, I just checked yesterday to set up something on Titanpad and was like, "Damn, that's not gonna work" because of the shutdown. Piratepad is also doable and I suppose we'll see what's up when we get there.
I'm using Trello for an RP right now and it seems to help us create a point to coordinate lore and work up things with notifications for updates to subscribed note items. We're experimenting with it, but you can stick hyperlinks on it (to track where the collabs are) and create checklists.
I've honestly used it for project management before, so it's familiar territory for me. I wanted to create a more collaborative RP where we weren't working in silos, so I settled on trying it for an RP.
Trello is now live. Please DM e-mails over on Discord if you have not already. We have a list of projects going there.
Hello! I am curious to know what sort of applications people are using for RP purposes right now. I know Google docs and Discord are popular, but I am also very curious to know if people are using Trello/Asana for managing their RP's or any other software of that nature.
Also, writing apps, like ommwriter. That one actually came out of a similar thread a couple years ago. I've used it ever since for roleplaying as well as stupid shit like e-mails for work where you want to write something to get a response out of someone busy/important who doesn't really have to give you time of day.
I also use the Hemingway app to tighten up the prose.
What else is out there? What are some of you guys using, particularly people who are running long-standing RP's.

@HeySeuss
Excellent! Can't wait to get this started. Out of curiosity, were you able to work on a world map by chance or jotted down some ideas? I'm pretty much going to be up and about for the next two hours I imagine. Staying up for longer than 36 hours? Can't fall asleep. Scumbag brain.
Also, would you think it is more productive to split up certain facets of the world between us to get down some basic ideas and then share them amongst the group? I feel this may prolong the onset of the RP, however.
I'm not a good map guy, so we need to figure one out and work from there. And I am looking at setting up Trello so we can track the various projects.
@Rekaigan@Mike73@Aristo@Xenocyanide all in.
Our next steps will be to flesh out characters. By characters, I mean the cultures they come from, the nations, and some sense of the Vukash, and we've already started that conversation.
We have also already very much determined a sword and sandals sort of feel, and I want to carry on with that sense. The grittier the better seems to be the consensus.
Another item we have to work out is what happened on the trek to the World Tree. Also, @Mike73 gave me a better MacGuffin, which was a total blessing, so I'll rewrite 'orb' to 'fossilized seed.' Good on ya.
Also, this is the stage where, if someone drops out, we'll have to reopen recruitment. At that point, it will be invite only, refer in people you know are good collaborators.

I have filled two slots, so that leaves two.
New link, new channel in Discord. I took the liberty of hooking you up. Discord Chat - Spiritum
Yo, interested!
