Zpeakin' o' which, a thread zhoald be made to dezcribe each RP, az if it were the back cover o' the book.

Technically, if you want to require good grammar in your rp, that is fine.
Yes, I suppose so, if it is your RP.

We could do this too, but the descriptions for each RP are usually at the top of the sign-up for the RP.
Ah mean zae they can aw be in one place.
Oh! Yes, that would be good for new people wanting to join, they can decide which plot they would like to join in on.

I might get around to creating that, but I'm lacking the time for now. I'll take any suggestions on how to lay it out via PM.
And in general, proper grammar, or at least attempted grammar, would be the way to go when roleplaying. Effort in doing so would always be an encouraged function on this forum.
Eh, it's no bother to me... I can do it, soon as I get home. I can't yet because I'm typing this on a phone, which is a lot of trouble.
Okay them, have fun and good luck.
I was just thinking, wouldn't it be cool if someone wrote a story of a finished RP, so the people who didn't join can see how it went without having to follow it?
I've seen that attempted before, never finished. The rp I refer to was something like 14000 replies in length...
Wow, that's long. :o
It might be fun to try, though... :(
It would be fun to try....I'll keep thinking about that. I might do it for one of the games I'm participating in....MIGHT!
^ what he said xD
btw the great war of mossflower has an inactive host :O if tht happens is it possible to switch hosts and keep it going? not saying im gonna do it xD but anyone can step in. im to busy for tht sort of thing. but just wondering ;)
Ah waz wonderin', widnae it be a good idea tae create a topic fer people tae practize in? In other wordz, the plot widnae be az important az the writin' itzelf?
Good idea!
Yeh, good! ;D
hi can i sign up ??? ;D
To sign up you just go to the OCC/signup thread for the RP you want to join and say what characters you want to be.
Are we allowed to have monkeys as characters?Its not me ;)
Yeah are we? And yes My OC is a monkey.
An RP creator can decide that.
ok

Why not if people want monitor lizards, wolves, wolverines, and wild boars why not monkeys?
The rest are understandable, but monkeys just aren't Redwall!
If you want to carry on a discussion about "what species are Redwall" you can create a topic for that. Please don't use this thread for chatting though.
what aboot bein' able tae kick somebeastie out o' the RP fer doin' sumthin' bad ??? :o
If the leader decides that someone has done something so bad on their RP, it is their decision if they want to kick them out. I would first tell them they've done something wrong either by personal message or the OOC page. Probably alert a Moderator as well. If they're unhappy with their response or just keep doing it, kicking them out is a fair option.
If it violates forum rules, then it's purely the staff and the offender's issue. If it's troublesome behavior relating directly to the art of roleplaying and/or roleplaying in the thread (i.e. godmoding, powerplaying ect.), it's the creator and offender's issue.
How do I start my own RP?
If you want to start one, you can create a thread for it.
Come up with a plot and then wait for a few people to sign up some charries.
Ok thanks.
How often do people come here? I mean, I get here when I get the chance, but I've waited for a while and I stilll haven't been able to join an RP.... (Sky Warriors)
You don't need to ask the same question to two different topics. You'll be seen just fine with one, and for certain that way you won't waste anyone's time.
Have you went and asked to join the roleplay? If so, you should get a response fairly soon.
Sorry. I didnt notice that there was a forum directly for questions until i had posted in the other one.
what do you do with different characters in the story? do you control them yourself or just wait for someone else to join and control them?
Well normally you have a signup page where you tell them the storyline and they put down a made up or real character and tell you about them you let them join and they do it with you if you wanted to do it yourself basically Write the story then you do it in Redwall fan fiction
We only use made-up ones though. ;) But if you want to make a RP where people use canon characters, that's fine.
I could write the story of a finished rp. It'd be fun!
just in general,if we create a story and want to rewrite a particular scene we don't like, is that okay?
I suppose if the RP masters wants, the RPers can do a scene over again.
Sure, you can redo a scene. It's easiest if it's just to change a post you wrote. You can always click the modify button and change what you wrote. As far as doing a lot of posts over, you can just ask the other RPers in the story to jump back and re-write as you go.
Where do I join an RP?
you can join any RP in it's OOC/sign up/discussion page. It will say it is said page in the title.
Thanks! I'll look!
I have a question what is this and how can I be in it ?
What is what, this article or the whole roleplaying section? This article is just a place to ask questions about roleplaying. Is that what you were asking?
No before I just did not understand what this was all about now I do thanks to Dannflorreguba who kept on saying stuff
Okay good, a good thing to do would be to read the Roleplaying Basics and Rules thread found here:
http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=88.0 (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=88.0)
I need to know if I can get going on mine cause I have got all I've really need except for people we meet on the way but they can join whenever they want
Ps My RP is called An Adventure to Loamhedge
I know it seems a bit silly to ask this but, are you allowed to host an AU type RP, like the time period of Mattimeo but if Cluny had won instead?
I don't see why not. :)
Thanks, Osu. I have one more question, too. If I were to host one of these AU RPs and I wanted to play as Slagar or any other canon character, am I allowed to do this or do I have to make my own character?
You can play as canonical characters, yes.
Question!: When you look at the Role-play directory topic, there's a lot of role-plays but some(like mine) don't appear in it. Do you update it?
James Gryphon isn't on much, but he updates it every now and again.
ho... K
James Gryphon isn't on the forum at all. It's mainly Osu that updates it. It's kept very well updated, I'd say.
My RP wasn't on it, now it's too late it's finished. :'(
That was fast. ???
I know! That's why I made the sequel, it's called Redwall Abbey Vermin! Wanna join?
Please keep this to questions related to overall role playing on this site. This page is not for advertising specific roles plays. That takes play in the OOC role play board. Thanks! ;D
It's been since May 17th that Osu changed it. Couldn't someone else modify it?
Are there any RPs that are accepting people at the moment?
yup mine. The land of Jima
Mine are: The Outcasts and Redwall Abbey Vermin and Reconquering Redwall Abbey.
Just look in the OOC thread. All accepting RPs are located there. Please no advertising RPs on this thread. Thanks! ;D
I wasn't advertising! I was answering!
Thanks for the answers!
What happened to the Roleplay Directory topic?
I guess nobody was using it, so it got deleted
Since the primary goal of the Directory topic was more or less negated by the advent of the Finished RP's / OOC child boards, it was removed to reduce clutter. :)
Do you guys think we should add epic battle music to the EP fight scenes?
what? I can't answer a question i don't understand.
I think he means that he wants to add music to the battle scenes. That would sound sort of cool, but I don't know. It would take longer because you would have to listen to it, then post. Also it would take up a lot of space. Though, if you want to add music, you could do what AbbotAlf does. He puts a theme for the RP in the OOC sign up.
sweet! i was thinking like add a link to a youtube video just before your post on rp's
Hey I struggle with coming up with the perfect name for my characters. Any tips?
Anagrams, translate something that describes the character, say random things that sound good, there's loads of things to do.
I usually use common words, such as Dusk, Rain, Shadow, Jag, etc. Another thing I use is names of fictional cities, like Linhir and Valmar. I use normal names and words from different languages as well. There's a bunch of ways to come up with names.
okay, thanks!
No problem. :)
What are those fictional cities from?
Lord of the Rings. I believe both of them are elven cities.
Cool! Do you think I could name a character Lórien?
If you want to, you can. :)
Well it's the only Lord of the Rings city I know of :P (other than the Shire and Mordor and Laketown from the Hobbit)

Yes, like Chelonia Mydas, is latin for Green Sea Turtle. And Featherwood is a type of tree. Hillack was just random (as was Muchlik). Stonefeet and Deathtail just fit their characters.
So just put words to getter or add more letters to words or take words in another language.
If you're still having difficulty with names, you could just go to a name generator website, like Seventh Sanctum. They have generators for ALOT of things. Lovecraft names, elven names, 1800-sounding names, evil warlord names.. you name it :)
Nah, not really, but thanks!
I just realized I don't know how to change topic names (on the outside). Anyone know?
You can change them by editing the first comment on a topic. I know, I had problems for the longest time with them, too. ;)
Oh der, that would make sense. ::) (Rolls eyes at self)
Anyone have any advice for someone that would kind of like to try and run a RP, but never has before and is like...completely overwhelmed and terrified? o______________o

Oh, it's not that hard. It's pretty much just RPing, but you're the leader of the group. You get to tell everyone else what the story is and what they can or can't do. ;)
I want to start one too! But I have no idea what the story would be
Quote from: Romsca on January 11, 2013, 12:34:01 PM

Lol! Me it's the complete oposite! I have tons of ideas for fanfics and RPs! :D
Well, there's loads of ways you can do it. It can be something as simple as Redwall defending itself from a vermin attack(there aren't many of those), or something complex, and involves a cave that the band gets trapped in, as well as vermin invading Redwall while their in there, and when they get out, they find Redwall has been taken. That's one of my RPs that didn't go so well.
I mean, I have no shortage of ideas! My problem is usually too many! lol I just don't know how to effectively run a RP. Like giving players enough structure/plot without railroading, dealing with issues that arise, adapting the story to the actions of the characters, etc.
Once you get going its not much of a problem giving structure and plot. I usually scaffold a basic plot but keep it open to changes and development. It's up to you how much you want to structure. As the host of an RP you get to decide all of that. The best way to figure it out is to just start one and see how things go. You can continue to adjust as the role play rolls out.
As far as adapting the story, you won't need to adapt if you design the plot enough. You can ask players to stay within the boundaries of the plot you set out.
My last note on this; just try it and adjust as you go. That's how I learned what to do and not do. ;D
Thanks guys! I am going to do this. I AM MAKING THIS HAPPEN. ;D
(Spent last night planning out my RP~ Hopefully I will get my OOC thread up today! This one's gonna be a little odd, I hope people are interested!)

The reason why there isn't many ofthose is because it's become too stereotype. Almost every book by Brian has a vermin invader.
Ok guys, that's enough discussion in here please. This thread is for questions not conversing for multiple posts about topics. Feel free to form a thread in the OOC roleplay section if you wish to continue this conversation. Thanks!
Where is the the Role-Play Directory?
Quote from: Leatho Shellhound on January 17, 2013, 01:05:22 PM
Where is the the Role-Play Directory?
I think we removed it. It wasn't up to date, and at the rate new RPs were being created / finished / modified, we can't keep up with every little change.
ohh, I'm so glad I chose now to check in. *wants to join the next roleplay tournament* I've been practicing. ^_^
Welcome back! :D
I have a question. I might be gone for a few days, and I'm wondering if it's okay to ask other people to take over my characters during that time.
Yes, it happens often. When someone leaves or is on a trip.
Hey, Are RP's generally done in the course of one or a few days, or do people post on them just as they would normally on any random forum thread?

Hey, Are RP's generally done in the course of one or a few days, or do people post on them just as they would normally on any random forum thread?
Do you mean done as in finished? Because no, most of them take quite a few days, weeks, sometimes even months! (Well, maybe not too many months, but some could!) One that I started awhile back, The Quest for Romance, took a really long time to finish.
If you mean done as in people playing all the time, then it varies. Sometimes they have members playing in them who are on often, so the RP goes by quickly. Other times, the RP goes quite slowly, because the members don't post a lot. That's the case in some RPs that have a minimum of so many sentences in each post. I quite enjoy those, though, because you go more in depth with your character (at least, that's what the idea is).
So, pretty much, for both answers, I guess it varies on the RP and the members playing the RP. Did that answer your question, or was I totally off?
:D Neither! Well, partly. Is there usually a scheduled time that we say like "Ok, we're gonna play x rp at x time, join us then!" And I did not mean done as in finished, more along the lines of played. :)

Lol, well, I was a bit off! ;) Um, usually RPers just RP whenever they're able to do it. There's really no set time on most. Maybe on some, but mostly it's just 'Hey, whenever you want to post, do it then'. The reason for that (in my opinion) is that some of us are in way different time zones, so it'd be rather hard for all of us to be on at one time. So pretty much, we just do it whenever we can.
Did
that answer your question? ;) (Lol, try two! :P)
Yes, lol, that did answer my question. Thx!
um question how do you sigh up for RP games that aren't torments. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? :P
If you go into the OOC/Discussions childboard (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0) you'll find RP's that haven't started yet; find one you like, read the GM's rules, and then ask about joining it. You can also start your own RP in the OOC board. Just make a new thread and lay out the rules and requirements for your roleplay and then sit back and wait for other players to sign on.
Question: For example, if I say something that someone else doesn't like, then they sort of get on to me about it, (Just for example!!) and that person gets on to me about stuff in other RPs, what happens? It's really not nice :( I was in a good mood when I got on, and now it's gone after looking at some RPs I'm in. :( :(
Such a personal issue can't really be handed a formula like you would for Science or Calculus. Each situation is different from another and must be dealt with appropriately. The best thing you can do is try to see things from the others position (pretty sure I know what's going on here BTW, if you want to talk more in-depthly then just PM me, I'd be more than happy to help you on this). Also, try to understand that other people have bad days too, and try and think of times where you've had a bad day and might've said something that you later regretted. I know I sure have plenty of these things to look back on myself. Finally, don't let it get to you. There was a member here a long time ago (not going to name names) Him and I were at each others throats over EVERYTHING, we rarely ever agreed and I've had far too many bad memories. The long and short of this last one is, don't let want for a good RP become a selfish desire that you would seek over the friendship of a member, I goof off a lot, yet in some of my less-than-friendly moments... I've lost potential friends. Believe me, it's not worth it. :'(
Hope that helps. :)
I am so so sorry I didn't mean it in that in way I was just trying to help... :-[

If you're comfortable with it, you can always contact the other member through PM and talk it out. Otherwise message a mod. You can also report whichever posts are bothering you and explain why in the comments field.
If you're feeling very emotional just go straight to PMing a moderator, better not to post until you've had a chance to cool off. The best way to keep a conflict from getting out of hand is to avoid feeding the fire while the forum staff look into it.

Thanks, Osu. :) I'll be sure to join an RP soon!
Eh, sorry for the double post, but how exactly do you tell if an RP is still open to sign-ups or not?
You ask, that's the only truly definite way to tell.... Assuming someone replies. ;)
Make sure there's nothing in the OP or subject line about the RP being closed to new players, then go ahead and post in the OOC thread as per the GM's rules, or PM the GM if you don't want to post in the thread. If they don't say, there's no way to tell, so potential players will have to ask one way or another.
If an RP is only open to a select few players, by name or number, GM's will typically say when they are no longer accepting new applicants in the OOC thread. Look for words like "closed," "username only," or a listing of usernames such as in the Dueling Roulette threads.
Whatever the case, don't be shy! The worst anybody can say is "no," right? And you can always start your own RP if you can't find one that's open or that you're interested in! :)
@Osu: Well, thanks for the answer. I've been meaning to join an RP for a while now, but there doesn't seem to be any ones open right now. And I want to get some experience with RPs before I start my own. ;)
What type if character do you have in mind.I know of one or two RPs that havnt even started yet if you like I could send you the links.
Well, any type of character, really. I don't have any particular character type that I like better than the rest.
Oh, and something to keep in mind is that soem GMs will SAY that they're not accepting new people or characters, but (Like me! ::)) they may be softies and will accept any and all characters. So I'd ask anyways. And you are welcome to join one or both of my RPs, Autumn Harvest RP Thread, and Wildcat Attack! !
soooo does someone have a RP that i can try ouy? im sorta new at this roleplaying stuff
You could try Cornflower MM's RP Autumn Harvest. She always accepts new players! The signup thread is right here. (http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?topic=5797.0)

There are more RPs on here than you could shake a stick at (to borrow a phrase):
http://redwallabbey.com/forum/index.php?board=22.0
If any of those look interesting to you, make a post and ask if you can join! :)
I'm not sure if this was mentioned but is there a place for non-RedWall role playing?
...Or do you just include it with the others?
Cavern Hole.
If it's going to be a private RP, then you could do it in the Cellars there's two going down there. ;)
actually I don't think that is a good idea we put ours in the cellars before we realized that it was going to turn into a real RP I am currently trying to get it moved... Or not trying as hard as I should. I think Those would be best to go in the RP board like any other Redwall RP and you just put closed in the title.
This all looks very fun, but how do ya jump in without having to read hundreds of long replies that most rps seem to have? I want to be in a fairly active one, but I can't read so much.
Which one is it? I'm in most of them, and perhaps I could give you the run down.
I'm fine in any, so long as people reply.
Hello, Jasper, and welcome to the forums! If you make a topic in the Front Lawns, you'll be properly greeted and introduced there.
As to your question: Some of them are not really possible to be joined, but if you do really want to, then you should talk to the person who started it. There is a new RP that will be starting that is directly after the events in Wildcat Attack, so you can talk to Cornflower MM about that. ;) My two cents is that you should look for newer ones and talk to the GM (the person who started it). Other than that, I'm afraid I can't really help. :-\
Ok, when's the new one starting?
Well, I'm probably going to get WA! Part Two up when I get my computer back. So, Thursday or Friday. Shall we continue this overs PMs?
Well in that case I'll wait a bit for the newer one. Sounds easier than jumping into the middle of one.
Yeah. Okay, I'll explain most of the rules over PMs.

Where do you sign up for roleplays? I've noticed that most don't have any responses from people signing up and I can't find a place where one could do that.
At the top of the Roleplay board you'll find a set of sub-boards. One of them will be labeled "OOC Roleplay Discussions." When you click on this, it will bring you to the Out Of Character topics. These also serve as the sign-up threads.
Thanks!

Here are some RP's Oracle that are relatively new if you are looking for one to join. I remember when I first started RPing I joined several inactive RP's before I found one that was active/new (AKA not a hundred pages long).
Hmm I may consider joining a RP, Any good ones to join for newbies? ;D
Maybe "A Dibbun Adventure", if you're okay with reading through six pages of RP beforehand. :P
Anyway, there's a bunch of new RP's on the first page or so of OOC Roleplay Discussions that I don't have time to list.
Heya, chaps! Just won'drun how to complete one o' those bally character sheets. Don't even jolly well know where the blighters are, really! Want'o join one o' those spiffin' roleplays thingies, wot wot!
-Mossbrook Squirrel the Black
Welcome to the forum Moss. You'll find the specific Form in it's OOC (Out Of Character) topic in the OOC board. From there, you can find the form on the OP (Original Post). Just fill that out and wait to see if it's accepted by the GM (Game Master/Almost always the first poster). If it's accepted, then you should be good to get in on the action. If the GM asks you to make a few changes, or just downright denies your character, then just try again... Unless the RP is done taking players, but that hardly ever happens. ;)
How to complete one? Okay, well there's a sub board here called OOC Roleplay Discussions, and in there you can find threads for RPs. On the first page the game master should have how he wants the character sheet to be filled out, and you just have to give the information asked as it corresponds to your character. The GM should accept it. :)
EDIT: Thanks for the 7-second earlier post, Dan. XD
do you know where's the character sheet? ???
Should be on the OP (original post, or first post) of the OOC thread.
can i make a roleplay thread?
If you have an RP idea, feel free! Just post the topic in the OOC board, not the main board here, with some explanation and credentials for players, character sheets, etc., and hope for the best.
Welcome to our Forum Family and the RP board Tiria. :) I highly recommend looking over the basics, guidelines, and rules topic before starting, maybe read a few pages of some RP's and OOC's to get a feel of what kinds of things you might want to try and aim for. Enjoy!
Out of interest, will there be another tournament at any point?
Clans of Redwall never did get finished. R.I.P.. :'(
can i use the same character(s), or do i have to make a new OC for every RP that i join?
(right now, i'm only planning on joining the wildflower inn one lol)
There's nothing stopping you from using the same characters, I use a similar mold for the vast majority of mine. If you find something you like, I wouldn't stop you from recycling. That having been said, exercising with different characters is a great way to build your RP'ing skills as it forces you to think differently in interactions, speech, combat, etc.
TLDR: Absolutely, but trying other things is strongly encouraged.
can I drop one of my characters if they don't turn out right?
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

While you can certainly drop a character, be willing to try improving the character first. Try different angles, rewrite backstory, expand on minor details, etc. Don't give up simply because it didn't work out the first time! My original-character-turned-fan-character Sylvia Johnson wouldn't exist if I simply gave up every time the story ended up bad (I've scrapped every original story with her, and now she's a Sonic fan character, simply because I couldn't let her go, and honestly, this one's turning out pretty good!)
