— 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.

Necrophobia and Freeform Wuxia have been rebooted, and are now both Open and Active.

I volunteered to reboot the Wuxia game and I was nominated to reboot the Zombie Apocalypse game, so I'm running both.

Advertising again. Still lots of places open, please consider joining the Metal Gear Solid Roleplay Angels of Zanzibar. I'm not advertising here because it's dead, it's still alive. We just have a lot of gaps to fill. We are coming up to a very exciting boss battle.

Do you want to fight a Metal Gear? Create one? Join now!

The RP Weird West Tales is open. I don't know if I have to ask but I'd like it to be put on the main page.

It's Open, and accepting characters. We just started. If you like the Wild West, and weird stuff, then come and play.

I think it's about time we could open up another Fate RP. Though it seems to be difficult to keep those running. Any ideas?

Applications for the Metal Gear Solid RP are still open. We are looking for supervillains who can give the heroes some trouble. Play someone from a previous game! Make your own! Lots of potential for anyone, really.

TTU has failed.

Again.

But, MERP 3 will be here soon, with IP and Slowzombie as GMs, too to cover for my suckage!

MERP 3 has been launched, and is now open for signups.

Also, more of a formality than anything, but if you could add Snowy Foxes to the list of G Ms for A Game of Truths, i'd appreciate it.

Greetings all, I've created a Steampunk roleplay called "Juggernaut: The Grande Colossus" which can be found here, and I would like to request that it be added to the list. At the moment it is Closed and Active.

Thank you!

Um, hi. I'm new here, and I'd like to join an RP thread, but I need something cleared up first. I've looked around at a few of the threads and I see people referring to "the usual RP rules" and "roll to dodge" and stuff. Could someone please explain what those are?

Usual RP rules are pretty basic. No godmodding, don't be stupid, etc, etc. Roll to dodge is a special format involving use of a die in fights. Roll 1, your action is so bad it ends up good. Roll 2, complete failure. Roll 3, works out a bit bad for you. 4, a bit good for you. 5, perfectly well executed. 6 is so good, it ends up a bit bad.

Might as well mention Conflict: Multiverse.

The basic manner is that it's an army-scale crossover and very similar to a Turn-Based Strategy video game. More info on the thread.

10c Adventures is in need of a new GM. The role will continue to be fulfilled by me until the players elect a new one.

Need a tall, brawny fella to come by and inspect your pickle? Perhaps I may be this fella.
