whats missing/confusing?

I think I convered the basics  :confused:

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: Okamirei on July 05 2005, 12:40 pm

hm...I suggest having an example listed?  :sweatdrop:

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: monkey on July 05 2005, 12:43 pm

like each person creates a topic about thier own character. or all in one topic with like basic details (maybe given to use to fill out?)

and seperate topics for actual stories

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: D.J.P on July 05 2005, 12:43 pm

got a example for me?

Vexnet: Its one topic explaining the theme and listing the charcters.

After that is done and character positions are filled, then the main topic is created.

Hope that helps :D

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: monkey on July 05 2005, 12:45 pm

yet the characters are still to be created...

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: D.J.P on July 05 2005, 12:47 pm

they won't just be one RPG game, there could be many going on at once.

If somebody has an idea for a game, they post a topic, explaining the idea and the character postions available.

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: Okamirei on July 05 2005, 12:50 pm

here's what I've been sort of aiming at as my idea http://www.livejournal.com/community/_islandcountry/  :sweatdrop:
example? ano...

you create a new board...

Theme: what the characters are in...like the story, the place, etc.

and then uner that you post the characters needed in the theme

-Syaoran
-Sakura
-kurogane
-fai
-mokona
and so on...if made-ups are allowed, you should include that in the post.

then people can start replying to the board to claim a character or such. when you have enough characters, the person who made the board can start the roleplay.

Post by: D.J.P on July 05 2005, 12:54 pm

ok, I've added that to the 'Getting Started' topic.

Okamirei: you are a mod there, so you can adjust that topic and add to it any useful information.

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: Okamirei on July 05 2005, 12:56 pm

I can do that? o.O; lol. *is still confused about a mod's job*  :sweatdrop:

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: D.J.P on July 05 2005, 12:57 pm

Yes, you can

Mods can edit, delete and lock topics/posts.

I read the topics too, but I'm still confused. It just doesn't make any sense to me...although I've never done RPG before.

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: Okamirei on July 06 2005, 06:29 am

I've put a small guide to roleplaying http://www.capturedwings.net/forums/index.php?topic=922.0 ..I'll add more to it later.
Ruby-sama, what doesn't make sense to you?

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: lika-chi on July 06 2005, 06:30 am

can't someone write a more detailed thing of what exactly is a RPG. even though i read both those threads and the thing okamirei wrote.. it's still a bit confusing.

so you have to write a list of characters and a theme for the first post. and then what?? is it basically a story or something???

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: Okamirei on July 06 2005, 06:32 am

hn...I'll do what I can >.<

yes. after that, the person who made the topic will start the story

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: lika-chi on July 06 2005, 06:35 am

o i see. haha sorry okamirei. i didn't see the post before my last one before. we probably posted at the same time..

ok i'm pretty sure i get it now. THANKS!!! hehe XD

Post by: Little Wolf on July 06 2005, 11:50 am

Great! Now, I understand how RPs work. :keke:

Those guide topics are really helpful, SLi and okamirei.  :okay:

Post by: Syaokura on July 08 2005, 01:19 pm

I also updated some examples of what not to put for RPing, such as Mary-Sues and what-not. =3

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: Okamirei on July 08 2005, 01:27 pm

is it all right if I make the "beginner's guide to roleplaying" a sticky in the RP forum, SLi-sama?

Title: Re: RPG Forum now opened!
Post by: Robin Sena on July 08 2005, 03:28 pm

I noticed things are pretty slow.

I hope we can speed it up somehow.
