RP Digest
- Thread starter Lauren Admire
- Start date
I still think the RP Digest should've been a monthly feature. It works well with the pacing of the boards.
Not that I'm in any RPs or anything, but I talk with the RP crowd often enough, plus I read along with some of them, like Aegis (no, not the Mass Effect one).
If you really don't like the RP you're committed to, you can always write your character out of the story somehow.
I still need to get into RPing myself, but every time I come across anything interesting, it's either closed and started already or it's private. Oh well, one of these days... *dramatically looks up to the sky*
Also congratulations to maddawg IAJI/Adam for making the post with DA and Sky with the SMT game. I feel like reading that DA now, honestly.

Join one when it starts, RPs open up and end all the time. They're not endless things, despite the length of some them. (this obviously excludes the Asylum one that's got a life of it's own outside of its own posters)JourneyThroughHell said:

Sweet Jesus the Digest is back. Quick question is this going to be something you're selected for now, or as before where people send in their summaries. To those worried about ones that have started already, don't worry, new ones crop up all the time, not to mention drop outs in the RPs.
I remember in the old Digest about there being something about advertising new RPs as well, so perhaps they can start that part up again as well

Crap... I forgot to get my entries done in time. Fffffuuuuu-

No, this is about the forum RPs hosted on this website in the Forum Games & RP section of the forums.Nevyrmoore said:
Well I'd like to try one out, but the thing is , do i need to spend a lot of time in the forums to do so? And also, my timezone (+2) might cause a bit of trouble , too. I mean, if most of the players are from The States, then won't i slow the game down a lot ? I don't actually know a lot about RPing in forums, the only RPing I've done is in games and in D&D 3.5. But my main question is : how much time will it take from my day? And how does RPing in forums even work, anyone care to post some sort of link, or write something useful?
"Attempt to" being the key word there.Lauren Admire said:
I swear, sometimes I wonder if we should just scrap the "real life RP" part of the title, and just go crazy.
Wait for a new one to pop-up, or say to the GM of one that if a space comes open, can you fill it.JourneyThroughHell said:
That's my advice.
It really depends on the speed of the RPs that you find yourself in. I was in Lambi's first FF RP and I couldn't keep up with one of that speed due to college and work. However in the RPs I'm in [such as Maddawg's Down Under RP] right now, a couple of posts a day is all you need to keep going.Owlslayer said:

I would join one, but they always seem closed down. I do my forum RPing at the order of the stick forums, sense there are a lot of them and there more organized, but none of my games have come together there and I would like to play with people here, I just haven't been able to.
Except for me of course. I'm the horse that just won't die!Sparrow said:
I'm glad to see this up, and agree with others that it really should be a monthly article, it is just a shame gathering interest is difficult.
I might check out some of those RPs, bar my own. They seem very interesting.
One-time thing, gang. We simply don't have the time to chase people down for this every week. As for your digests not getting posted, I received exactly two last time this subject came up. The simple truth is that as much as people complain about the RP not running, too few people took the time to submit summaries. Even when we opened it up to advertisements, we got next to no response.Sporky111 said:
If the RP Digest doesn't run, it's because the RP community chooses not to participate. You send us summaries, we will be very, very happy to run the Digest, I promise you. But we can't run it for just one or two.

Yes, I realised that...what I meant was do the RPs on this forum also include P&P RP campaigns?
