Preparations

Private RPG Applications
If you want to have a private, for others invisible rpg out of any reasons you need to contact an admin with some information.
1. Why would you want an rpg like that?
2. Who will be the participants?
I will look at your request and reply to you as soon as possible.
Character Corner
Here you can list all your characters. One thread per person though. Personally I prefer to have one post in my thread per character which can be edited later if needed.
Also keep in mind, that you need to inform users if they are allowed to post into your character thread or not.
World Entries
Just like the character thread except that you are allowed to create one thread per world.

Roleplay Central
This is the main place for roleplays. Please pick the fitting section before creating a roleplay. If you are unsure where to post your rpg pick the most fitting or the Misc areas. Please keep in mind, the titles in the brackets are only examples. RPGs to "The Lord of the Rings" do belong into the fandom section, not the fantasy section.

Fantasy
All kinds of fantasy rpgs can be found here.
- Medieval (Lord of the Rings, Dungeons and Dragons, ...)
- Steampunk (Amnesia, The three musketeers, ... )
- Supernatural (Werewolf-/Vampirestories, ... )
- Misc
Sci-Fi
Future and space themed rpgs go in here.
- Post Apocalyptic (Fallout, Blade Runner (future themed), ...)
- Alternative Reality (The Matrix, ... )
- Space (Star Trek, Star Wars, ...)
- Mechs (Gundam Wing, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Zoids, ...)
- Misc
Historical
This section is for real life roleplays that are centred in a specific period of our timeline. The examples are not 100% correct because many stories/subjects (Western) cross the borders of those categories.
Please, look at them as only simple examples.
- North America (Inuit, Western, ...)
- South America (Aztec/Maya, Western (Mexico themed), .. )
- Europe (Medieval times, Vikings/Scandinavians, ...)
- Africa (Egypt, Massai/Others, )
- Asia (Samurais/Ninjas, Mongols, Old Russia, ...)
- Australia (Aboriginies, ...)
- Misc
Other
This is the place for several topics that are different to categorize.
- Real Life (School, Everyday, ...)
- Crime (Mafia, ...)
- Superheroes (Batman, Superman, ...)
- Misc
Fandom
here you are allowed to have all kind of fandom based rpgs. Just pick the right category and enjoy your rpg.

Adult
The adult section is invisible to all users. To enter this section you have to apply for it. More info on that here: [Basic Forum Rules].
- Blood & Gore
- Erotic
- Horror
- Misc
OOC Area
This areas here are for character rpgs that are not connected to the other sections/rpgs. Every section is explained in the rules/guides of said section.
- Battledome
- Get-together
- Misc
RPG Archive
This is the place for all old rpgs. If you didn't post for a specific amount of time your rpg will get moved into this section. If you want to retrieve it contact an admin/mod and tell them the title of your rpg.
Rpgs in that section will get deleted with every forum cleaning (announced in the news).

Roleplaying Guidelines

How to start
Normally an rpg starts with some brainstorming in [this area]. If you already know what you want to do you can immediately jump to the thread opening step. It's important to add a "talk/ooc thread" for your rpg. Here you can collect character applications or discuss decisions you need to make as roleplay-guide. Start by creating a talk/ooc thread [here], preferable with the same name as your rpg in the title. After that you can add the rpg thread in the fitting section.
Creating a Roleplay thread
- chose a fitting title
- add the needed tags to describe your rpg [School/Knights/Fantasy/Dragons/Steampunk/Flying Machines]
- type an intro entry in your thread (should contain name, description, how many players are wanted, preferred playstyle (script or novel style), open roles, any other criteria)
- link to talk/ooc thread (for applications and important game decisions)
- set the rules of your rpg

FINISHED! Have fun!
