How do I improve my text RP ability? I'm not as good with words as others.
>>
>>85981707
Learn the basics of improv. Although if you're on the spectrum like me, there's a strong chance you just fuck it up regardless of what you can do or know
>>
Don't mention rape
>>
>>85981714
I'll look into that, thanks anon

>>85981718
I RP on TTRPG Minecraft servers where ERP isn't allowed, no worries!
>>
>>85981721
Seriously, don't mention rape

talk about rape and other devious desires, but dont show your face or translate these activities into the real world at all.

I don't find any fun in that, I play the communities healer :)

>>85981707
The real question is where to find high quality text RP. Discord is a cesspit.
>>
>>85981707
Read books more. I'm not even joking. Read books and get into the habbit of identifying blocks of text that could represent one player's actions. A small bit of description and a bit of dialogue linked together.
>>
>>85981871
discord is the best place, but you just need to cast a wider net. Don't recruit from the /tg/ gamefinder server tho.
>>
>>85981937
Tell me a good server with freeform 1 on 1 text RP where there are skilled players.
>>
>>85981937
Don't recruit from /tg/ in general tee bee ayche. If someone's begging for games on 4chan of all places, there's probably a reason
>>
Bro, don't talk about rape.

seriously guys? don't mention rape.
>>
Is this the new rape thread?
>>
>>85985974
BRO don't mention rape!
>>
Try your best to not talk about rape.
>>
Have we explained about the rape?
>>
>>85986121
we're working on it, hopefully he doesn't mention rape.
>>
Okay, I've mastered the "don't mention rape" lesson. What else can I do to improve?
And more importantly, what can I do during session one of an actual campaign with other players to assure them that I am trying to improve?
>>
>>85986155
Tell them you don't plan to mention rape.
>>
>>85981707
Under no circumstances should you ever mention consent.
>>
>>85986175
no, no, no.
You've got it backwards, he shouldn't mention RAPE
>>
Guys I just joined a Play-by-post game and I've been considering mentioning rape, should I?
>>
>>85986185
Ah shit! This is why I don't try to give advice.
>>
>>85986216
That's okay, just remember the ABCs of text roleplaying:
Always
Be
Concerned about mention rape
>>
>>85986202
Give it a go, a few mentions of rape can't hurt.
>>
>>85986170
That seems like a paradox, but okay. Now what? Please move on from the "don't mention rape" lesson. This isn't a joke. I desperately need advice.
>>
>>85986307
No matter how desperate you get DON'T mention rape.
>>
>>85986300
BRO NO
DON'T mention rape
>>
>>85985598
>DON'T mention rape.
Should I mention rape if there's a cute girl in the group and I think she'd find it sexy?
>>
>>85986372
Just tell her you don't plan to mention rape each session to assuage any fears she might have. It's important to follow through on this though, if you end up mention rape after assuring everyone you will not mention rape you will look like a weirdo.
>>
>>85986327
Yes, I know that. Can I get a serious response about something besides not mentioning rape?
>>
>>85986419
Do you think rape isn't serious? It's that kind of mindset that could lead you to the pitfall of casually mentioning rape.
>>
>>85986398
So, wait, should I tell her "I'm not planning to mention rape each session" or should I tell her "I'm not planning to mention rape" each session?
>>
>>85986454
The safest bet would be to say you aren't going to mention rape each session, and then mention you aren't mentioning rape at the beginning of every session. The more you can assure people that you don't plan to mention rape the better off you will be.
>>
If I'm playing a non-text (in person or over voicechat) game, should I mention rape?

1) Read a lot of books

2) Learn when to speak directly and when to use detailed descriptions.

3) Remember to describe what your character is thinking and feeling. It's as important as what they're doing.

4) Get to know the person you're RPing with before you introduce any weird shit.

5) If you introduce weird shit, discuss it with your partner(s) beforehand.

6) Masturbate to logs, not during.
>>
>>85986498
Number one should be to not mention rape, please don't troll him by giving him shitty advice.

Mention rape often and frequently remark how something your character does always equates back to rape. Make your character a rapist philosopher. become the rape, be raped. Become one with the very idea of raping.
>>
>>85986868
I subscribe to the Don't Mention Rape School of Roleplaying, I think you've got it wrong when it comes to rape and it's mention.
>>
>>85981972
Don't join large servers. Join small pbp games.
>>
>>85986979
More people = higher chance of rape being mentioned
>>
>>85986498
6) is the real shit.
>>
>>85981926
Seconded. I strongly recommend The Eye of Argon.
>>
Has anyone said not to mention rape yet?
>>
>>85986493
We need more context, but I would err on the side of not mentioning rape.
>>
At what point does all the not mentioning rape circle around back to rape?
>>
>>85990375
you should never mention rape
once you mention it, it's all over.
>>
Hey guys, I just mentioned rape in a play-by-post game I'm playing. I don't think anyone's read it yet, should I delete the post?
>>
>>85991614
Delete yourself make the world a better place

Nah, if she's into you, she's into you raping her, OP. Mention rape. A lot. She'll dig it. Doubly so if she says she's not.

>>85985552
Make a character with less consistent need to violate people

Don't know any either but if you join one don't mention rape.
>>
>>85986498
Man. Why can't people follow item 6.
>>
>>85992145
I don't want ERP or I'd go back on F-list, I want a pure text RP server.
>>
>>85993023
Well then it is especially important that you don't mention rape then.
>>
Should I mention rape in the first session? Like, I know not to mention rape too often (I'm not some sort of autist with no interpersonal skills) but if everything seems a bit awkward or the roleplay is slowing down maybe I should mention rape a little as a sort of icebreaker? Thoughts?
>>
>>85993307
Are you doing play-by-post or voice chat or in person? That context really matters for whether you should mention rape or not.
>>
Ok guys, I've already made the mistake of mentioning rape in a PBP game, and someone saw it. Should I have my character rape someone now? How do I salvage this? I feel like I need to commit and do some rape (in-character) as that will justify the mentioning.
>>
>>85992953
It's because they can't help but mention rape, which is something that experts in the field have advised that they should not do.
>>
>>85993315
Voice chat primarily. Should I be mentioning rape more or less than if it were an in-person or pbp game?
>>
>>85993445
See, voice is tricky, you 100% do want to mention rape but you want to do it in passing, almost slyly if that makes sense. It truly is an art to get it right, but even you do it elevates your role-playing to another level. All of the greatest roleplayers have figured this out and mention rape almost nonstop, I spend a lot of time watching film of the greats and trying to emulate their style.
>>
>>85993333
You have three options here:
>1.) Assure your fellow players that they misheard you say 'grape'
>2.) Claim that someone was mentioning rape in a really funny joke away from the table, and you just accidentally said it while remembering how funny it was.
>3.) Legally change your name to 'Rape' and tell them that you were simply trying to remind yourself of your planned name change.
>>
>>85993478
Thanks fren. I saw all those posts earlier in the thread about not mentioning rape and that just seemed crazy to me, like if it's appropriate to talk about rape at work or when you're just chilling with mates then why would it suddenly become inappropriate around the gaming table?
>>
>>85993572
This was play by post, it's text.
>>
>>85993640
In that case he just needs to pry the 'g' from his keyboard and send the group a photo explaining what happened.
>>
>>85993633
when talking to strangers, avoid topics such as rape, the holes in police search abilities and the fragility of an unarmed human

look, in 99% of cases, you are absolutely correct, but I have a hunch this isn't one such case. idk, I'm on the spectrum and I'm a fairly decent judge of character according to people i hang around on the internet and IRL.

How come no one ever posts where to do this shit?

F-list, though the RP is usually centered around rape.

>>85996289
I'm not interested in eroticism though.
