Welcome to our humble abode...Just a quick heads up on what we are all about.
Who Are We?
Well our good friend Mile’s decided it would be cool if he abandoned all his friends one day and moved to Alabama in the process. This put a big hamper to our ability to play DnD together, so we decided if we could continue RPing over the internet that would be awesome. DnD over the computer was too difficult to play, so instead he and I decided it would be cool to develop a forum for us to Free Form Role-play over. This forum is the crack baby of our crazy idea.
What is Free Form Role-playing?
"Freeform”, in our forum, is an online text-based role-playing game which has little to no rules, and instead relies on the player's improvisational skills, writing ability, and commitment to developing a good story in conjunction with other writers. To put it simply there is a GM who starts the RP and acts as a director for the action and direction of the story. The “players” or writers in our case, write a few paragraphs per post explaining the actions of their character within the environment presented by the GM. Once posted, another writer will post what his character is doing either at the same time as the last post or directly after. The goal is to write a streamlined and interesting story worthy of reading over and over again. Trust is the biggest factor. God-Moding is not allowed; this includes adopting over the top abilities, never getting hurt, controlling another person’s character (This is allowed for basic moves if the character’s writer allows you to). Be realistic and interesting. Conflict and failure make for great plot devices.
What’s that? You want in?
Simply register to the forum and post a message in the welcome center so we know you are here. Then go check out our active RP’s whether it’s in our DnD realm, in a galaxy far, far away, or some user created world in the Original RP’s section. If there is nothing that catches your eye or everything is too far in to jump in go to the RP ideas section and read some developing ideas or create your own. Gather some support and then when you feel you have enough players jump on down to our RP sections and post a quick background, character sheet, and initial RP post. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM (Private Message) or ask one of the other staff members.
Well, Welcome to 814 Free Form Role-Playing. Remember, you don’t have to rock the 814 to join us, just know I look down upon you. Just kidding. Have a good time. And remember, your activity and participation is vital to the machines continuation. Only by your posts can this forum work. So keep active!
