Right, here is a thread for discussion about roleplays in general. This is more about management, advertising, that sort of thing. Suggestions for plots and such could perhaps be in threads made in the Roleplaying boards themselves. Right, for starters, I'd like to know: *Should I remove Beacon of Hope from the Featured RP board, since nobody else seems to be making active RPs to feature. I'm willing to do this, despite not personally liking it and the work involved, provided everyone else thinks this is a good idea. Secondly *Should I remake Rewriting History on BGSF, since it's completely inactive here with only a few members (one of which is missing in action), while Tamrielic Dragons and Beacon of Hope seem to be more to everyone else's tastes. And Lastly, the old complaint ( ) *Is anyone else intending to make RPs here? Because I'd love it if someone did. Right, anything else anyone wants to talk about, suggestions for the Roleplaying board, anything like that, don't be afraid to bring it up.

I'm neutral on the Featured board, I have no idea what rewriting history even is, and I'm not the idea guy here. Maybe by some miracle in the future I could think of one, but as of right now, I got nothing.

I think you should keep it featured, I like the idea of more RP's being featured, but I do understand there aren't any/many (haven't checked) that are doing well enough to warrant it.
Neutral on the second question, I really don't have as much time to RP as I used to so you won't find me joining a lot, I'm trying to get more active though.
As for the third question, I might, it's just hard to think up a good idea (I'm very selective, Those Remaining, Search for a Shadow, they were both after quite a long time of brainstorming and drafts, I'm like that)
So, right after saying this I decided to make a story that I'd been thinking about all in one night and post it up, heh.

Woot! Raven, it's so awesome that you're going to host an RP here! And I'll drag Rewriting History over to BGSF then, since it's still strongly on my mind as something I want to host properly. Am going to read your RP now, Raven. And Vrek, maybe you aren't an idea guy, but you're so active here you really keep things ticking over.

Hey, what can I say? I'm tired of seeing this smaller forums die out. Also, I just realized, I finally have a higher post count then Frank. That means I'm second most active on this board.
EDIT: Oh yeah! Now I remember, Rewriting History is that ne roleplay you made. It helped that I saw it again. Just a lil' bit.

Hehe, I was looking at that yesterday. That's pretty good going, I'd say.

I really don't mind either way about Beacon of Hope. Having it in Featured RPs just gets it more attention, which is probably a good thing considering that we have only 25 or so members.
Secondly, sure, why not. I probably won't be able to join, mostly because I've swamped myself with RPs (several at BGSF, one of which I'm co-hosting, and two here).
Thirdly, I do plan on making an RP here sometime. I may recreate Mzuleft, because its cause of death on BGSF was everyone dropping out, and I really had a lot planned for that RP (it is very annoying when you have 14 people in an RP and overnight that number drops to 2). People are a good deal more dedicated here, so this might be a good place to host it. The basic idea was that a ship (the Mzuleft) was chartered to go into the southeast oceans and bring back a report of their findings. And from there the story evolves into an Odyssey/Arabian Nights/Cthulhu thing.
Other ideas I have include an assault on a Telvanni stronghold, and one that I haven't put much thought to that involved Black Marsh. But I do plan on hosting one of them.

All sounds pretty good to me, and I look forward to seeing them if you have more time. And yeah, everyone here is really dedicated. It's rather cool.

Higher post count than I?
Preposterous!
.....
Or maybe not so preposterous...
Anyways... I actually have a plan for a rather different rp for this board, not the Element one I had talked with you about before, IN, but a new one. Sadly, my inspiration came from watching Tarzan, but no it won't follow the Disney plot. In fact, my idea behind it is that it is a mixture of Free-form and Adventure. You are free to do what you please, but regardless you are going to end up thrust into the plot, and forced to handle the plot in your own, freestyle manner. The plot is also not ironed out from start to finish when I make this, but will grow as I go. Well, that's the plan, but knowing me the part about the plot growing might end up botched up some.
It'll be a sort of Freeform Horror Adventure Rp. That's right, Horror. Live with it.

I have two ideas now, and I'd like some feedback on which one you all would like more.
Both are ideas for RPs, and both are variations of the same basic RP. For those of you who remember, there was a series of RPs at BGSF that began with "Trapped in. . .", and were about you yourself being brought to Tamriel/Morrowind/Cyrodiil/The Imperial City (that was the series progression, IIRC).
My idea is a continuation of this. The ideas are: 1. Like Trapped in Vvardenfell, only with an actual plot (while still maintaining freeform elements) 2. Trapped in [insert location of Tamriel here], but 10 or 20 years after the arrival in Tamriel. So the 'you' character has already been in Tamriel for quite a long time.
What do you think? Or are they both rubbish?

Well, if you ask me, the base idea of it has lived it's course, but that second one is actually rather interesting. Of course, I don't think it would actually last long, and would be a bit bland. I guess it would all depend on who's in it, I guess.

I WOULD make an RP, but I'm lacking in confidence.
I have the idea though: "Stock Exchange RP!"
...maybe not.

If you guys do start an RP I'll definitely join. I need to join one anyway, so I might as well start with you guys. : ) (and girls)

Woot! Raven, it's so awesome that you're going to host an RP here! Don't forget little ol' me. Just started hosting the Shadows of Halo RP (my first RP). Ok...I should really stop plugging it now.

Anyone up for reviving the Forgotten Realms RP?
