Role-play, anyone? Please?


Well, I've tried multiple times to get the Games: RPG board going, to no avail. I did have one role-play steady for a while, until the one person rping with me quit the site. So I'm trying one more time, since this site has grown a bit by now.

Would anyone be at all interested in trying it? Or has anyone here actually role-played before?

To those of you that have no idea what I'm talking about, here's a brief description of what a forum-based role-play is. Basically, everyone creates a character or multiple characters based on the "character sheet" provided. Basic stuff, like name, age, appearance, personality, etc. Once everyone posts their characters, we can get started. I'll post some sort of starting scenario. From there, just respond for your character(s), what you think they'd do in that situation. Posts can vary from a few sentences to a few paragraphs. We pretty much end up co-writing a character-centric story. If things slow down plot-wise, I'll throw something in to shake things up, like a bandit raid or monster attack or something.

I have a Star Wars one that is now stalled, a Game of Thrones one that hasn't started, and I was thinking about making a Harry Potter one. If you like the idea of role-playing, but not those topics, we can work something else out.

How about...Lara Croft?

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about her to do her justice, but we could try to do something similar. Some sort of archaeological treasure hunt, kinda like Indiana Jones?

reply

It's the same thing,Leia...but,i'll give it a shot...why not...you don't know about Lara,really?

reply

Yes! Great! Okay... I just need to write something up and have a vague idea of what's the treasure is and such.

Actually, if you like Star Wars as well, the Jedi Quest one I posted is pretty much a treasure hunt in space. That way you'd just need to make a character, like Lara Croft if you want, and I could find a way to fit you into it. That would be easier for me, but I don't mind making a new one more like a traditional treasure hunt if you prefer.

EDIT: I only know what I've seen you posting about Lara, and that she's some sort of adventurer and "tomb raider." I took a brief glance at a Wiki page for more ideas.

I'll let you to start,Leia😉

Take a look at the Star Wars one and let me know if you'd be interested. I posted a link below. Also, check your PMs. c;

I'm not versed enough in any of these films to role play one of their characters, but here's a bump up for you in case others want to play, and didn't see this the first time :)

reply

You probably wouldn't be playing as one of the characters in the actual film, you'd most likely be making your own in that setting. So they can be whatever you want, within reason.
Thanks for the bump anyway.
