If you happen to know me, or even if you just read my intro post, you know that I enjoy roleplaying. Does anyone else here enjoy roleplaying? There are a lot of avenues in which you can participate in RPing, which do you prefer on a forum, Discord, Reddit, Tumbler, or through e-mail and what got you interested in rolepaying? How long have you been doing it and what kind of genres are you into?

I love to roleplay, it's actually a lot of fun and pretty simple/straight forward. It's basically like writing a story with someone else, but you only control your character. At least, that's the short version of the explanation. If anyone is interested in learning more about it, let me know and I'd be happy to teach you!

I would love to try, but my anxieties won't allow it.

LunarScorpio Is there a way to do it for those who have anxiety? I suppose the question is where does the anxiety come from? In general, the answer would be "yes" though! In most instances, if you start with one person who's understanding and will go at your pace, and kind of help you through it, it'll certainly make it easier. But again, it depends on what is causing the anxiety for me to really be able to give solid advice on how to cope with the anxiety to give it a try. Sorry, therapist mode is on right now, haha. But seriously, start slow is my best advice. We all have to start somewhere and the only way to improve is to do it.

Hopefully life will return to some form of normality and I will get to give roleplaying a go.

LunarScorpio Could you give us a Cliff Notes version? I read a bit on your forum & it looks like it's storytelling in a way. But I'm sure there's more to it.

I would if it was my own forum. I don't join role playing forums because, I feel like I'm on a job interview getting my character approved.

You are writing a story with another person or multiple people. You have your own character(s) to control and you come together to build a world and a story that has a beginning, middle and end. With a site-wide roleplay, it's a bunch of mini stories that contribute to the main storyline. It's relatively easy to get into and once you start doing it, it gets easier. I would if it was my own forum. I don't join role playing forums because, I feel like I'm on a job interview getting my character approved. I can understand that. Some of the admins/mods of roleplay forums are really tough to get your character through. I made sure that wasn't the case in mine. Pretty much everyone gets approved, haha. But it's good to have a character sheet so that you can flesh out the person you're playing.
