— TV Tropes Forum RPG Guide —

The TV Tropes Forum RPG zone is divided into 3 different zones, normal RPs usually have a thread in each of these.

  • Role Playing Singups: The first place to go in order to join a game or start your own. In this place the GMs post the basic settings, story and rules of the RPs and the players post their own characters and wait for approval to start posting in the game proper.
  • Role Playing Discussion: Where all the OC talk goes, like discussing character actions and a place to ask questions.
  • Role Playing: This zone is where the actual Role Playing takes place.

Please do refer to the Role Playing Rules for the guidelines on which this section of the Forum operates. Different R Ps have their own rules, though the ones outlined in the Role Playing Rules thread cover the basics of what is enforced here.

Can I post an idea I've had but had to stop impulsively making an RP for every single idea I have?

TVTWF. Basically a Professional Wrestling RP.

I'm asking for advice from those that are familiar with Maid the RPG rules.

Is it possible to be GM of Maid the RPG for one who doesn't have full Maid rulebook. by making head maid (the one with rulebook)responsible for all gameplay elements, while GM would consentrate on the plot. And master would still giving favours, but that's that. How much chances of that to work?

Highly possible. Maid RPG is fairly simple. The players can do most of their rolling by themselves.

@daltar: thanks for advice. I'll ask you another one, because you already played in my "World of Venus" RP, what would you say if I remade that game into Maid game? Sure, Shinra agents don't work in the mansion, they do field missions, but the mansion cannot be that important, can it? This idea have some cons: 1) people who are not familiar with Maid the RPG most likely will not bother themselves, 2) the one who choose canon character is most likely going to reroll stats if they not match with a character. On other hand, there are pros: 1) it's a system and it suits my needs about the game, 2) it justifies prefer of girls as playable characters.

Hmmm personally I wouldn't do it. Maid suits itself a lot more to all sorts of strange OCs. Besides, I do not think that you have to justify your choice of an all-female cast. Whatever your reasons if somebody has a problem with it they can simply choose not to join.

So. I'm considering attempting to start a re-vamped version of my old Fire Emblem RP. If I go through with it I'm kind of hoping that it will turn out better than my last one.

Erm, hello. I have it in my head that I want to run a dramedic but still lighthearted and very tropic Spec-fic mashup RP. Does that sound good to anyone? I made an interest check if you want more info.

This is my second attempt at an RP, although the first one never got off the ground. If noone's interested in this type of thing, I have literally dozens of other ideas, but I'm really attached to this one.

Aww, you really liked it? I'm still trying to work out some of the kinks in the plot to keep it from slowing down like it did last time.

...I'm starting to think Tv Tropes likes to make half of my posts completely invisible to everyone but me. Anyone out there? Hello?

Well it isn't invisible. I read the Sign up and it does sound like a neat idea... even if it isn't my regular style.

Just want to correct that The Massive Multi-Fandom RPG: Season 2 is now finished, not active.

Cold Fusion has been dead for several months now, and it is highly unlikely to get revived at any point in the forseeable future; as such, you can change it from active to inactive.

Would anyone be interested in a Soul Eater RP?

Also, i think the Me RP 2 has died.

Could you add the We Are All Pokemon Trainers RPG to the list? It's currently active, but closed to new members. They can hang around the chatroom for it here and they can get the gist of what's happening and what the story is so far. There isn't a sign up thread for it though. The RPG is a Pokémon Play By Post Game created by gamerex27 where all of the participants are Pokemon Trainers.

Okay daltar, some things I need to report/add.

The Massive Multi-Fandom RPG: Season 2 is now finished, not active. So you can change that as I double checked.

SOCR's Dusk of Sentience's premise is here.

A group of characters from various science fiction universes are sent to an unknown place where they need to fight to survive.

Hopefully that's fine. The signup link is here too.

A Game of Truths is now Open. Would you kindly add it to the list as well as that Crystal Glacia and Motree are Gms as well as me?

Just as a nudge, my Metal Gear Solid RP needs a new Cyborg Ninja. Be the Grey Fox of AOZ, help the hero or be batshit crazy. Applications open now. Also, need more supporters. Link in my signature.

Hope to RP with any/all of you soon!

I reopen my World of Venus RPG, which was put to stop for summer vacations. Old players and new players are welcomed alike.

Sometimes they are told to Stay in the Kitchen, sometimes they are made into Distressed Damsel, sometimes they are Dead Little Sister or suffer Death By Childbirth. But not in this world. In this world they took the role of Heroines.

This game is multifandom crossover with main focus on the girls. This is not Crisis Crossover, which brings people from different universes together, but instead is Alternate Universe Crossover, every character was born and lives in the same world.

My Metal Gear Solid Roleplay is still going strong. We are onto Disk 2 (What will Madnar do next?) and are now accepting canon characters from previous games into the RP, to help new players jump in quicker, rather than try to fit their own canon with my messed up storyline (Seriously...). Positions open are members of New Zanzibar, the good guys, and True Neutral or similar scientists.

Be who you want to be.
