Forum roleplay is super easy its a more imaginative and beneficial way of roleplaying. Not only does it expand your mind of ideas. It helps you with your english. It is a story type roleaply.
So heres how it goes basically.
Instead of being say..
-Brings my hand to my forhead whiping my brow-/*
In forum roleplay this might be..
William brings his large dusty hand to his brow, and whiping the sweat that begins to drip into his eyes.
Is that easy enough to follow thats basically the diffrence. In forum roleplay there are area's to roleplay in which might have a post in that you do wish to roleplay in. Or maybe you would like to start your own post. Just click the 'New topic' button and maybe begin with something along the lines of...
William takes his first step towards the inn and looks around hearing the horses kick at the stable doors heavily. He pulls a frown and raises his voice over towards them. "Stop that! you'll wake everybody up!"... ETC.
And then somebody will reply to that with another story relating to the area also. E.g.
Mary's cat like ears flick back as she picks up the sounds of the strangers voice. She turns her body in a 180 degree angle facing were the sound is coming from. and begins to walk towards the strange sound near the stables.
That is pretty much how to forum roleplay. now some people would be wondering how to battle or fight in this. This is the bit not many do agree on. You have to be mature enough to do this. In FRPG fighting you have to wait for the other person to retaliate. now dont worry its not like there gunna block you straight off that would just make the fight boring and everybody would expect it. So give the person a chance to reply, also if the person does not reply within 5 days then you are free to hit them with the technique/power what you are using in battle. But only once. if you get into a good fight it may come out something like...
Mary begins to rage in anger and feels her fist clenching. The white inwards turning of her eyes heat up. She throws her first towards William with great force towards his stomach.
Then..
William's eyes widen as he notices that she is getting slightly angry he tries to apologise but before he knows it hes on the floor winded.
Simple? Now if you do wish to cause a death to a character, you have to ask the person first if it is okay if not then just cause a little damage. Please be fair. Deaths are as long as it takes to heal the character. But the character can not heal itself obviously unles its strangeley cheesily magic. But thats just silly. So please try and prevent this. Maybe get another RPER to help you.
Thats about it really
any questions? x
