I just learned the hard way, that when you start a role play involving powerful characters you cannot just say " you can have X number of powers, and keep you powers realistic." You must list out all the specifics at the beginning before any newbi Role players can get power hungry and try to take the spot light. I guess what I'm trying to say here as a general tip for beginner role players is: The plot needs to be a team effort, you can't always be the lead role. And if you do get the lead role you need to make sure the character still has personality and isn't some sort of all powerful character.  |

@schaz- Just make one of the rules for your RP, you can only have X number of magic skills. X number being whatever you think is a fair limit.    |

@H- true... well personally it happened to me in my previous RP days.. Oh ya one thing I may contribute about the number of RP characters Being the Rper has the most Characters [I have 8 charcters in one RP] i have the right to say this Every RP-er should know every character he he/she made and limitations of it If you create many characters make sure that you can control them with the accordance of the plot The number of the RP characters that a RP-er could have [for the new Rp-ers is 1- 2 characters] The Veteran RP-ers could have many charactersbut most of them are only NPCs characters that revolves for the story and character development in my experience it is a pain in the neck to control 8 characters with different jobs but i manage to pull it off.... Hehehe by the way..... PM the RP thread owner if you have ideas for the story or with fellow RP-ers to have the story going....  --> |

no, schaz, you're free to create a thread and come to think of it, I might as well contribute by writing a tutorial about story-based RPs so people can truly develop their characters. The way I see it now, most players don't even bother to do that, which makes their characters very... dull... like a corpse -_-;; Intro -> cliche narration/dialogues -> proceed with the main plot -> cliche narration/dialogues -> hack & slash -> cliche narration/dialogues -> proceed .... That's just very... wrong -_-;;

I changed the front post a little bit. I'm also planning to getting back into RP's, just taking part though, not starting and managing. Work is only going to slow down now that Christmas is done with so I've got a lot of free time as of late, at least until I head to college. I may make some more changes to the guide since I haven't been around the City in a while now and have probably missed new things in the lands of RP's. |

agree with key. the first thing you have to do before you post... understand the story... some new RP-ers in my RP (Tales of Arcania) just ruin my story with junk post...a hit and run post and unmatch story that just make me mad...i bet the other RP owner is the same too so please understand the story well and read the situation...  |

i also like to add some pointers, new Rp-ers these day tends to forgot something important, well some of them... 'they don't read others post!' 'they usually do hit and run post (enter a Rp, seeing a lot have post before he/she, ignore them, write the continuation of the previous post he/she wrote) until somebody OOC them or PM them that he/she is in their story (that really sucks)' Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, Please, read between your previous post to the recent post, if you really lazy to read, just use find tools on your browser to see if your name or character name is on somebody post. somebody maybe trying to interact or somebody that have less authority than the creator but still wanted to build up a story with you, yet because of you didn't read their post you ignore them please read other post, it will help a lot to build up story.....

Hmm. Nice. I've heard of the T1 T2 and T3 fighting rp styles. but that's from like.. Yahoo RP chat forums. And those places are the pits.

@Gaara, yea, most of the tips here are for those who are RPing for the first time, or RPed before, but from a different forum, since most forums will have different styles of RPing(tips here are for them to well, see what's the difference is). As for the PvP rules, it really depends on the RP's creator. he/she might have different rules for this... |

Well technically there's only 2 different types, a stat type and the free action type. It's covered in the tips, but I guess I can expand on it to make it it's own section. @kazerose- I'll add that in then. |

Rp master fighter here. Well your rules and tips are good for those whom are new to rp. But once people get into rp more they'll here about fighting styles like T1 T2 or T3. My only opinion is that you should have gone into information on fighting PvP and the rules on it. That's all otherwise I think your information is a must for beginners to rp.  |

Oh, I thought I included that in one of the types. I'll check and if it's not there I will add it in. |

Weeh~!! You made a guide at last tebayo~ XD (wait, this was made more than a week ago...why am I always late T-T) I can provide a few information too, but maybe not now XD Oh, there's one more RP type that I know of, I think Kay used this before. It may not be general but this RP type is rarely used, the one that uses "game" system, this type is pretty complex since you have to be well detailed and keep track of your status and other characters as well. I forgot that RP Kay created though ;_;  |
