Online Role Playing

[Zook]

I've been dabbling in it lately, and was wondering if there were any other SWF RPers out there.

I'm not talking about D&D or something like that, but online text-based RPing. It's pretty fun once you get into it. Here's a Wikipedia article about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_text-based_role-playing_game

Play-by-post role-playing games or PBP rpgs refer to another type of text-based gaming. Rather than following gameplay in real-time, such as in MUDs, players post messages on such media as bulletin boards, online forums, Chatrooms (such as like AOL and Yahoo chat) and mailing lists to which their fellow players will post role-played responses without a real limit or timeframe. Of late such blogging tools and sites as LiveJournal have been utilised for this purpose. This includes such games as play-by-email (or PBEM) rpgs. The origins of this style of role-playing are unknown, but it most likely originated in some form during the mid to late 1980s when BBS systems began gaining in popularity. Usually it is played through 'Script' and 'Story' format, both styles area interchangeable and work well but it depends on which the player prefers.

So, any other RPers out there? Maybe we could start a social group or something.

EDIT: Here's the Sub-Forum for RPGing: http://www.smashboards.com/forumdisplay.php?f=163

This thread was made to find people interested in this, but don't know where to find others. *points to streetracr*

Just sayin'.

Oh yeah, I wasn't trying to be a prick.

I just figured that the subforum should be mentioned in this thread for that precise reason.

@ Linkus: This is for text-based RPGs, not MMOs.

Thanks for the bump, anyhow.

God I love to Rp. Sadly though, I haven't been able to really find any good, active sites lately...

Maybe I should try this one.

Edit: Hey, 100th post. ^_^

I love to Rp, just I can't find anybody to do it.

I used to a few years ago. Doesn't really interest me anymore.
