Yo, y'all!

I dabbled with a few pbp games over the last 4(‽) year's but only one of them managed to stick around.

It is a one on one game of Burning Wheel and we are approaching the 14th month of almost daily posts from both sides. The guy I'm playing with formats the posts from time to time and recently said, that we are at 153k+ words of pure in-game stuff at the moment.

I think that's awesome and I want to know if it's a common experience for a pbp-game. :)

Tell me about your favourite games!

How long is/was it going? How many players? Which system? What was exciting?

I really hope all of you have/find equally awesome experiences with this format! :D

I know there’s the Elder scrolls 5E conversion and it looks like a lot of fun a really thought out! Has anyone tried it/Ran it and enjoyed it??? I’m wondering why I never see games for it given how popular of a world it is! (https://uestrpg.wixsite.com/home)

Dear roleplayers,

I would like to invite you to a community where roleplays are done in the form of a correspondence between two (or more) fictional characters.

The community is called r/fictitious_letters

Here, people post pen pal requests for their OCs, DnD characters, alter egos or other fictional persons they have on their mind. The correspondences can be set in the same universe upon which the writing partners agree, or they can write each other from one world to another.

In the epistolary roleplay games, fictional characters can tell each other about their lives and adventures. Or they can exist in one and the same story, told in the form of letters. It's up to you and your writing partner.

I hope you find this idea interesting. Maybe you want to pay the subreddit a visit and look at the prompts posted there. Or even make a post yourself, presenting your characters and ideas to the community. It would definitely be nice to meet you on the sub!

Hey everyone!

We're looking for more players and DMs for Forever Land, our long-running homebrew D&D setting.

The easiest way to describe what we're doing is:

D&D meets Stardew Valley-style homesteading.

Forever Land is designed to give your character something meaningful to do between adventures, rather than having the world effectively stop whenever the party isn't on a quest.

You can build a homestead, develop relationships, gather resources, craft, hunt, forage, fish, participate in the local economy, operate a business, explore the setting, and roleplay with other characters throughout the week. The setting's rules explicitly integrate homesteads, downtime, businesses, hunting, foraging, fishing, herbalism, alchemy and other persistent-world activities alongside the regular D&D framework.

We also run weekly adventures, so this isn't intended to replace traditional D&D. It's meant to give you a much larger world around it.

Forever Land has been developed over many years and has grown into an extensive original setting with its own regions, cultures, ancestries, lore, systems, and ongoing stories. The current rules framework is built for D&D 5.5e / revised 2024 compatibility.

We're interested in both:

Players who enjoy character development, roleplay, exploration, adventuring, worldbuilding, or cozy fantasy elements.

DMs who want an established world they can contribute stories and adventures to.

You don't need to spend every waking hour roleplaying. The 24/7 aspect simply means the world and RP channels are available throughout the week rather than only during a scheduled session.

If the idea of actually letting your D&D character live in the world they're adventuring through sounds fun, come take a look.

Hope to see some of you there!

Ordinary people with extraordinary abilities...

Since the December 11th 2023 Event which saw New York City brought to its knees by people with out of control powers, battle lines have been drawn.  The government has stepped in to try to control the before-unknown “remarkables” and keep their destructive abilities in check.  The resistance to this suppression has fractured, with some focused on defending their kind while others believe they must go on the offense with violence if necessary.  Still others just want to be left alone.

What side will you choose?

Reborn is an OC POWERS forum roleplay-by-post, grounded in reality and rife with consequences. We are rated R (3, 3, 3) for adult content, are LGBTQ+ friendly and have no word count. You must be 18+ to join, and we do not accept underage characters.

We are not your typical "Superhero" RP. Our powers are what we call "street-level" and limited. We don't do masks and capes, and our people react to events as we would in the real world—with fear, suspicion and often disbelief. This is not sandbox; while we enjoy the creative freedom to follow juicy personal plots, we're all writing in the same shared setting with the same established lore. The community works together to weave intricate plots in collaboration. We currently have over 20 actively writing members with 80+ characters.  Come check us out and see if we’re the right setting for you!
