Dear member,
If this is your first time role-playing, not to worry! I will explain the basics and how you can play by post.
RP is essentially a turn based game whereby one person writes something about their character, and the next person continues the interaction, advancing the story. The combination of your posts creates the story line. This becomes quite an engaging experience when you have for example, ten people posting at once.
The first post is posted by user 1 whose character is David (the post is shortened for the example):
______________________________________________________________________________
David squeezed through the narrow alley way barely; his arms were grazed from the shoulder downwards and his shirt was torn. Taking some deep breaths he looked around and saw the pale light of the street lamp where a few moths fluttered around it. The sound of the cars on the main road continued to roar behind him. Phew he thought. That was close.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Then user 2 could write a post like the following:
________________________________________________________________________________
Rosie giggled at the strange boy who entered her alley way. She was not expecting any guests. Yet the presence of a boy was somewhat exciting; it had been a long time since Jack had been with her and it was a lonely ordeal guarding the bins all alone.
She leapt down confidently from the staircase she was sitting on and landed in front of David with a bang.
'You!' she said. 'What are you doing here?'
_______________________________________________________________________________
Then user 1 can reply with the following:
_______________________________________________________________________________
David jumped back with a gasp. Where did she come from?!
He looked her straight in the eyes and stood his ground. 'I'm looking for the Quarter Man," said David. 'Do you know where I can find him?'
_______________________________________________________________________________
And so on.
Again these posts tend to be longer to include description etc, but this is the general idea. A third person can enter easily by reading the posts above and then having their character enter the scene where appropriate.
If there are any queries regarding roleplaying, please private message me and I will be happy to explain.
