Ideas for RP Threads

Now that we've got a whole RP subforum, it's about time we started filling it up with some RP threads. By that, of course, I mean in-forum roleplaying!

We can use this thread as a brainstorming area for premises that groups of people can participate in.

Let's get the ball rolling here people. Ideas anyone?

I'm thinking a balloon shop.

I personally like this idea very much, of course I'm not much of a roleplayer or story teller. But I do like the idea of contributing some ideas.


But I have a question. Is it better to create characters then see how they react to a situation or to have situations and just make up characters to fit them?

Depends on whether you'd rather have interesting characters or interesting plot. They can both drive a story, though obviously a combination is ideal.

Can we put a sticky up for the chatzy room?

To contribute, I personally like what Inflation Kingdom and its derivatives used to do. Gaining inspiration from a pictures or series of pictures. Personally, I don't mind the idea of using existing pictures as the basis for stories, but I would understand completely if others feel this is violating in some way.


My personal favourites are those done by SaburoX and LakeHylia.


As well, once I repair my tablet I would be willing to contribute some doodles to avid RPers.

Sounds like a great idea, Alorok.
