Hey guys! It's been roughly one hundred years since I last roleplayed on a forum, but I miss it and I miss the writing practice! So I'm looking for a handful of people to thread with and I have some ideas. I think these would work well for either private or group roleplays, so let me know what you think. If multiple people are interested maybe we can make a group thread.


One important thing to note is that I don't tend to get shippy -- that is, I don't really like to write romance between characters. Maybe I'm just a weirdo but it's never really been my thing. It's fine if your character wants to have a crush on mine, but my character won't be having any romantic feelings for anyone else. Does that make sense? Sorry if that's a turn off; I know a lot of people on sites like this want to write romance. Sorry D:

Also I think it would be fun to approach some of these with a Dungeons and Dragons feel to it, IE someone is the game master and players "roll" (or use a number generator) to see how well they do on a task. But that's up to you.









I think that's all for now. Let me know if you're interested in anything.
Thanks for looking!

@Eruca: !!! I like this a lot! I don't remember if that was an episode honestly, it's been a long time since I watched Doctor Who and I don't think I've seen the most recent season. But yeah, I'm down for that!

@Eruca: yeah honestly I stopped role-playing awhile ago because I'd get all these ideas about where I wanted it to go and get all overwhelmed and stressed about it. maybe that's just normal?? in any case sounds like this will be good practice for us both!

do you want to make an ooc thread and dump your ideas and we can talk about it? fleshing out the world and where we want it to go will probably help a lot!

Hihi! I'm pretty interested in playing with you~ I've never done many one on ones with a D&D aspect, but I feel like that'd be pretty interesting overall. If you don't mind having to guide me through things from time to time, I think it'd be neat to include that. I think that'd especially work well with things like the Convoy,Strangers in a New Town and certain fandoms, like Pokemon (I mean... It works if you think about how pokemon battles usually go anyway?)

I'm not good at not getting at least a little shippy... But since you're okay with my characters feeling things, that's fine. To be honest, I think what matters is less romance and more if it fits the characters anyway. Some characters aren't gonna fal for others no matter what. I think it's good not to make that a focus!

In general, now... I'm intrigued most by Convoy or Strangers in a New Town as far as original concepts go. I'm not good with horror, but it doesn't have to be horrific anyway. If Murder House is toned down, I could even potentially do that. With fandoms, I only am particularly aware of Pokemon, Harry Potter and Doctor Who. I have never played Skyrim, but do like the setting in that I've played other Elder Scrolls games and enjoyed the variety and such so... We can try to incorporate that if we don't need heavy duty knowledge?

That's all I have to say for the moment. I don't mind your frenzied schedule because I lack one of my own. My posting depends a lot on muse, my health on a given day, etc. I'm 26 and work at home as an editor... And go to a lot of doctors.

If you're interested at all, let me know~ We can throw characters at each other together. I tend to use characters I already have made for other stories and adjust them to fit the setting because it helps me get to know them better for my personal writing. I hope that'll be alright.

@keef: It's fine! To be honest, I haven't been on much this week because I had 3 power outages and lots of chaos from it. >w< They just declared we were officially gonna be stable yesterday after the third one. Our power is connected to my building's heat and stuff (most of the other apartments in the building will have power when we don't but not heat and such), so... Considering upstairs just had a baby it was extra worrying. That and we got sick in my place from the constant change in temps mixed with lack of heat.

Anyway! I like the idea of someone being in the dark as to what's in the cargo. In terms of something terrible that could be delivered... My first thought is usually something dark like human trafficking or corpses for some weird experiment. Or, y'know... Poisonous plants. Hard to say. I'm fine with multiple characters, so the main thing I wanna decide is the first/primary. What comes to my mind with that would probably be either a secondary guard, the actual merchant or a thief.

Random idea- It'd be interesting actually if the thief is just a local bandit that has no idea what's in it and finds out with the guard when trying to steal.

@keef: It could be worse! At the least, it seems to be working okay now... I just hope it stays that way. It wasn't a big surprise, 'cause it started with the first blackout being caused by a transformer exploding outside our window. Well, across the street, but... It was really obvious and bright and loud.

I do have a youngster I've always treated as a thief in some ways- plus, you already had a guard in mind, didn't you? I'm generally fine with either side, though- plus, we can always add as we go. It'll be really fun seeing what makes the guard accidentally open things in the process~

I think fleshing it out either way as we go though is definitely a good plan for the cargo. We may not know the exact details right now, but less meta knowledge can be a good thing, right? Our characters won't be inclined to try to grill us for details they aren't meant to know~ That, and... We don't need to know until it opens, so it gives us time to choose the best concept for it, and then what they'll possibly do when they find out.

@Juneberry: sounds good to me! Do you want to flesh out the world more or just kinda make it up as we go? I feel okay about setting it in a general fantasy world and discussing specifics as they come up.


@Lady Luna: Hi! I’m still interested in doing it if you are. Do you have any ideas you’d like to add?

@Lady Luna: I love that! And could be they don’t know it’s deep web related so they think it’s all an act and don’t realize they’re really in danger until people start dying?

@keef: General fantasy is fine. As long as I know what makes it 'general fantasy' and even if I don't- just knowing 'it's a world with some sort of fantasy elements' is helpful~ I think we can always flesh things out as we go if we realize "uhh we needed plans". I've always been more of a plantser than a planner or pantser. I'm very much in the middle. Basics are good, too much can be painful~
