Well, what do you mean by ideas? Are you looking to start a roleplay on the forum, join a roleplay on the forum, something interesting to read, or are you looking to RPG videogames, or tabletop gaming systems, or what?
If you do happen to be looking for a roleplay here on the forum to join, I'm currently running one, the links are in my signature, you're welcome to check it out
I agree with Wingman. You've got to give us more info on the specifics.
I mean, if you wanted to
create an RP, there are a variety of factors to put into consideration:
The following is tips on RPing so I apoligize if you already understand many of these factors.
Setting:
This is typically the most basic of all RP's and stories and is, in my opinion, the #1 factor in making a good RP It may include, but is not limited to, moment-in-time, area story starts off, or dimension it is in (i.e.: magic is a common source of energy)
NPCs:
These are very important to the success (or failure) of an RP. A believable NPC will make a story interesting very quicky depending on the individuality between each NPC and how consistant the storyteller is with keeping them individual.
Template for RP:
This involves making the guidelines for the other active participants to follow. A very common basic format is:
Name:
Appearance:
Character History:
Character Personality:
Skills: (i.e.: hunting, agility, blacksmithing, etc...)
Even if you put this in
Informal In-Character Role Playing, it is still a good idea to give a template so you don't get plagued with unneeded info that you never intended to coordinate into the RP (i.e.:how many plants they have)
Interlocking Character Histories:
While you needn't worry about this until later on in the RP, it is still a highly-important concept. A good storyteller must know how to combine
anything; whether it be how there can be more than one type of lychanthrope in the same universe as another (if they are in the same universe) or how the history of one character directly (or indirectly) effects how another character came into being. This is often the most difficult part of the process because not only must you be creative and come up with a believable interlocking story, but you must also go through
many compromises with nearly all of the active participants as many of them likely won't agree to have their character "manipulated" to fit the overall story.
Considering the options, I reccomend you work your way up to actually
making a successful and enjoyable RP. Try starting out finding another RP that you would want to play (play if you want) and observe how others approuch
their stories. Wingman, for example, seems to like to keep his part of the story open ended for the convenience of the characters (which, personally, I admire) while others like to keep the story more enclosed for the sake of it "making more sense". It completely depends on what your preferences are, however, as only your style of storytelling should be yours.
PS: Wingman currently has an RP running, as he has said. I think you should check it out............if your okay with the length.......*looks nervously at Wingman*
