| Casual Events Welcome! Have you ever felt that you'd like to join in the RP section but feel a little nervous? A little unsure? Well, you're at the perfect place! These events are the best way to dip your toes into the RP section. If you've ever been curious about joining us here, a Casual Event is the perfect way to try it out! Casual Events are easy-going and fun, with no profile or posting requirements. They take place in the Casual Events Section. At the end of an event there are often prizes for active participants to collect and admire! Casual Events are also great for helping to fill in your RP Activity Card and Challenges 1. Duration:Casual Events can vary in length, which will be determined in the sign up thread. These lengths can be anywhere from a weekend burst to a month-long endeavor. There are also special RTRPs* that only take a couple of hours. 2. General Rules: Although Casual Events are meant to be care-free playgrounds, there are still a few things you should try to keep in mind whilst participating: Follow the General Rules of the RP SectionThese rules are the go-to rules that every roleplayer should know. Despite its more casual approach, these events still use the same rules as all other RPs.Be mindful of other players!Casual Events are often big and full of many different players, which is always fun and part of the charm! However, we want to make sure everyone has a chance to play. We don't want anyone to get left behind! It's great to be enthusiastic towards the event, but if you notice that you are posting very often and very quickly, try to take a break and give the other players a chance to catch up to you! It's no fun to play alone, after all.Read all posts!Make sure to read all of the previous posts before you make your next one! This ensures that you don't miss out on something vital, and can help to keep your character from missing out on some fun interactions or appearing rude by accidentally ignoring others! Keep an eye out for event goals!The event host will often post a goal for everyone to reach for throughout a certain period of time. This is normally depicted in a quote box to make it stand out a little more! These are generally guidelines to try and help move the plot along, but they are not mandatory to complete. Try to remain active!Keeping a regular posting regimen helps keep the flow of the event going strong! And your character plays a vital part! Of course, things can come up and hinder you from posting, and there's nothing wrong with that. There's no penalty for dropping out, and you can join back in when you have time. If possible, please let the event host know, or post in the OOC thread for the event! 3. Requirements:There are no requirements to join in a Casual Event. No need to worry about profiles or word counts, just have fun exploring your character with everyone else. Casual Events are great for both beginners and veterans alike!

| RTRP A Real Time RP (nicknamed RTRP) is an RP taking place in a more instant platform. We like to use Discord, specially the channel #rp_rtrp_ic for in-character RPing and #rp_rtrp_ooc for our out-of-character chatter. With RTRPs, we can play through a whole RP in the course of a night! It's similar to a Casual Event in that there are no profiles needed and no word limit! It also uses the same general rules. This type of event presents a completely different style than the regular forum-based RPs, as replies will be much quicker and allows us to RP in a more energetic way! All the energy makes for a very fun experience! To read past RTRPs, check out our in-progress RTRP Library. |
