Roleplay Guidelines

1. Let other RPers know when your character enters or leaves the scene. Please leave the scene if you're going to be away from keyboard and unable to respond to further roleplaying for more than a few hours.
2. Coordinate who you want to role play with in the Role Playing OOC forum . You can also use this channel for talking out of character.
3. Start a topic in this ⁠Role Playing forum for each RP session/topic and use naming conventions as detailed below for your thread.
4. We suggest not going over 5 characters per RP session to avoid confusion
5. Respect other players role playing boundaries (see their reaction roles that begin with RP to see what type of RPing they're ok with). If you plan to RP heavy topics including politics, religion, trauma, please check with your RP partners first before beginning to RP.

RP Thread Naming Convention

To start a role play session, create a new topic. Name it starting with "open" or "closed" to indicate whether you're open to having other players and characters join. If closed, indicate the characters permitted.

[OPEN/CLOSED] [subject] ([characters if closed])

Examples

• CLOSED Magic Training (Merry, Kiri)
• OPEN Boss Battle Vampire Investigation

More Info

The characters you RP do not have to be registered in PDARPG

Helpful Roleplay Tips

1. Don't worry about others (or most importantly, yourself) being consistent in replying to roleplay.
   
   
   • Life takes priority! Only respond to roleplay when you feel you have have the motivation and time to do so.
   • Writing can take time and patience. Some characters are easier to write than others, and sometimes they just don't have the muse. Don't blame yourself and take a break!
     
     

2. Never be afraid to communicate with roleplayer partners on how best to roleplay together. You'll have more fun with the transparency than wondering and keeping silent. Chances are, they feel the same about hard lines.
   
   
   • It can sometimes be helpful to establish a turn order, when it comes to group roleplay. As with anything, discuss how is best for all. Passing a turn is completely acceptable!
