Embyr Haven is my roleplaying forum, and we currently have rpgs for many different works including Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy, The Matrix, etc. We've been around since November of 2003, so we have lots of members, but the more recent members aren't exactly the best writers. Some of the sections are dying from inactivity or just from people getting tired of not having any good writers to role play with. So I'm currently doing everything I can to get better writers and fantasy lovers into the site to see if things will improve a little. Since almost every roleplayer here seems to have good grammar and spelling, I figured I'd post my link here and give it a whirl. anorel.proboards35.com/It's about to be upgraded so it might be down within the next day or so. Still, if you're interested in rping, give it a look please. Also, I'm having some trouble adapting to the roleplaying style used at this site, so if anyone has any suggestions on how I can get involved in an rpg, they'd be much appreciated. Thanks. |

Not ALL of us have good grammer and spelling *glares specifically at Tahiri and Sithhunter*. And I would join, but my hands are full with MEI, and I don't have time to go completely into a new site. I would. Perhaps I will, if I have time/am bored enough to make a Star Wars character. If I may, to avoid a lawsuit, I would remove the dragon riders of Pern section. Anne McCaffery doesn't allow online RPing on her books, last time I looked. Anyway. I'd love to make your site a topbanner, if you want. I could probably come up with something really cool, and it looks to need one... *grins* Concerning RPG on here. Don't ask me about the LotR RPGs, I'm not a part. For the Star Wars ones, I'm working on writing up indepth rules. However. To join in... Go the the Beginnings and Suggestions board (or something like that) and go to the character sheet thread (Old Republic for now. NR time isn't started yet) Copy and paste the blank character sheet, and fill it out as in depth as you can. It's simple, really. And if you are lacking anything, I'll be certain to point it out. *Evil grin* Then you have the option to join a faction-- Jedi, Sith, and criminal at the moment. If you want to be a senator, or other faction, post it in your character sheet, and I'll get back to you on that right away. Feel free to be a Master of any sort, we really don't mind, no matter what the rules say. They REALLY need to be redone... Um. Anyway. Then the RPG style itself is simple. Use third person narrative. Jump in wherever you want in OOC and ask if you can join in. We'll find a way to stick you in if you can be put into that part of the plot. We LOVE new RPers, so... yeah. *grins* It's easy. Any questions, PM me. I like PMs. I'm not usually an evil admin... really!  Anyway... My biggest issue with your site is that it's very overwhelming. I'd suggest you remove any boards with 0 posts and try to pare it down just a bit. It is rather overwhelming, though the varitity is nice. I suppose it's just because, though, it's an RPG site, not a fan site. RPG here is simple, worry not. |

I wasn't aware of the Dragon Riders of Pern situation. I'll have to ask Raistlin to check that for me. Thanks. I'm not too concerned with a banner but if I decide to put one up, I know who to ask for help. I've been meaning to get a few pictures of the Haven's mascot drawn up for some additional images... As for the roleplaying here, it's not so much the character creation or the writing form that I have problems with. It's the way that the roleplaying threads are set up. I'm not used to roleplaying according to location. It confuses me since there seem to be so many characters doing so many different things all in the same thread. So it's difficult for me to find a place to jump in since I'm really not at all sure of what the current adventures are. Believe it or not, Embyr Haven started out with only four roleplaying boards: That weird kid with the glasses... what's his name? Peeves: Potty Wee Rotter., Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and Original Themes. However, to keep up with changing trends and new movies/books/video games, there is a thread where members are allowed to vote for new boards and any board with three votes or more is created. As you can see, over the months my members have requested several different boards for several different topics. It keeps them happy and always gives us something new to do. So if there are boards with 0 posts, it means they were just recently created. If they aren't posted in after a month or two, then I delete them. Thanks for the tips, mate.  |

All righty. I joined anyway. I will annoy you. *evil grin* Heh heh heh... yeah.
All right. The threads are based by location because I gave up on seperate plots. Most of our members have a very one track mind. Basically, most of the people on one thread are in the same plot, and if they're not, they'll OOCly say they're not. Take Tatooine and Corellia, the two active ones. If you read from the top, you'll see that the two groups seperated. What I suggest is that you post in a thread and ask what plots are going on, then you'll be filled in. After that... yeah.
Following locations is easy. You can be in only one place at one time (like reality). To get from place to place you should post at least twice in space. It takes a bit of time for hyperspace travel. To join in on a planet, you post at the top (from space), then just wander around and start a conversation if it seems easy. If it doesn't, make a post that you're around, and one of us will probably start a conversation anyway...
The basic plot at the moment is very convulted, and I don't even know where everyone is. Basically, though, it's a twisted plot concerning the Jedi and Sith. On Tatooine there a mission to kill Jabba the Hutt, I think, and Taania and Raze are in captivity by a Sith. On Corellia, it's twisted, and I can't explain it. *shrugs* This is based like reality. You don't have to know what happened before, you just jump in, and get your character to ask the questions.

People who don't post in the rpgs get beat in the head with a stick or have their eyes gouged out with a spork by some crazy person in a ninja mask made of old t-shirts... It's very frightening, I assure you, so I suggest that you post. Until you do, you're in grave danger from this anonymous terror... Yep... *hides Sporky* Eh heh...

I don't think I'm going to be able to join. I'm already involved in too many boards. :(

...... I'm just going to keep my mouth shut on that one, because what I have to say will get me into trouble.
Anyway, I have drawn another one into my web of chaotic fantasy! Mwahahaha!
