RP Preparations

Character Corner
Here you can list all your characters. One thread per person though. Personally I prefer to have one post in my thread per character which can be edited later if needed.
Also keep in mind, that you need to inform users if they are allowed to post into your character thread or not.
Worlds/'Verses
Just like the character thread except that you are allowed to create one thread per world/'verse.
Tipps & Tricks
Here you can post all kinds of help for worldbuilders.

Roleplay Central
This is the main place for roleplays. Please pick the fitting section before creating a roleplay. If you are unsure where to post your rpg pick the most fitting or the Misc areas. Please keep in mind that the titles in brackets are just examples. RPGs to "The Lord of the Rings" do belong in the fandom section, not the fantasy section.

Historical
This section is for real life roleplays that are centred in a specific period of our timeline. These examples are not 100% accurate because many stories/subjects (Western) cross the borders of those categories.
Please, look at them as only simple examples.
- North America (like Inuit, Western, ...)
- South America (like Aztec/Maya, .. )
- Europe (like Medieval times, Vikings/Scandinavians, ...)

Character Playground
This areas here are for character rpgs that are not connected to the other sections/rpgs. Every section is explained in the rules/guides of said section.

RPG Archive
This is the place for all old rpgs. If you didn't post for a specific amount of time your rpg will get moved into this section. If you want to retrieve it contact an admin/mod and tell them the title of your rpg.

Roleplaying Guidelines

How to start
Usually an rpg starts with some brainstorming in [this area]. If you already know what you want to do you can immediately jump to the thread opening step. It's important to add a "talk/ooc thread" for your rpg. Here you can collect character applications or discuss decisions you need to make as roleplay-mod. Start by creating a talk/ooc thread [here], preferable with the same name as your rpg in the title. After that you can add the rpg thread in the fitting section.
Creating a Roleplay thread
- chose a fitting title
- add the needed tags to describe your rpg [School/Knights/Fantasy/Dragons/Steampunk/Flying Machines etc.]
- type an intro entry in your thread (should contain name, description, how many players are wanted, preferred playstyle (script or novel style), open roles, any other criteria)
- link to talk/ooc thread (for applications and important game decisions)
- set the rules for your rpg

FINISHED! Have fun!

Creative Corner

Art: Gallery, Requests - Trades - Commissions
- one thread per user (galleries) and one per subject (requests-trades-commissions)
- add the right tags in your thread title [SKETCH/WIP/FINISHED] or [REQUEST/TRADE/COMMISSIONS]
- if you want to start a new thread add a [CLOSED] tag to the title and tell a mod/admin to lock the thread
- no adult material. Use the adult section for that
Literature
- one thread per story
- add the needed tags in the thread title [FANTASY/ANTHRO/REAL LIFE/EPOS/SHORT STORY]
- you may collect short stories in one thread if you want
- no adult material. Use the adult section for that
Photography
- one thread per user or per subject (for example: create a thread which allows all users to post their photos of flowers)
