@ThurDoSil,



From the Roleplay rules:

"Do not post graphic sex or violence. Exercise good judgment and consider content that would be appropriate in Skyrim."

Adding on to what Liis wrote, if there were going to be an RP with any elements along those lines, it would need to be run by a mature, highly trusted site member to make sure it stays, shall I say, consensual, among other things.



Skyrim is a mature-rated game, yes, but it's not adult-only. It is also the type of game many underage gamers play, and Thuum.org's demographic tends to have a fair amount of underage members.



Keeping with that sprit, it would be hard to run an RP with those kinds of themes while allowing it to all members, for fairness and legality.

RP Idea

 

Premise: The Aldmeri Dominion has invaded Skyrim. The Ruby Throne stands empty. Only Whiterun is free. A group of Adventurers fight for the Heart of Skyrim.

Setting: 4E 223, in Whiterun Hold,

Tone: Serious

Character rules: Any race from TESV, Highest tier is Ebony, All spells allowed

Posting Rules: Dialogue is Dovahzul, you have 3 weeks to post.

@Vuldovyol,



Approved.

I wish to be a part of the Dragon War RP, but where do I go and how do I join

Hail thuri



I am writing a story and someone has asked if it can be a role play

I also don’t know how to set up a role play



If it can be a role play let me know



I may have to assign roles for it

Setting: After the rise of High King Ulfric Stormcloak, Death of Alduin, Fall of Vohlikar Vampires, and the Defeat of Miraak

Story: The tale of the half dragon daughter of Akatosh

Roles: Assigned by me

Uses of Thuums allowed

Armor up to dragonscale for light and ebony for heavy

Spells up to expert level (Mondovrah has Master)

Has to be english

Roles of Dragons: Must speak Dovahzul (translation in parenthesis)



These are all the details I have for now

@Rahjundov,



I'm going to need more details about the setting(s) and direction of this roleplay please.

Adding on to Liis, if you're turning a fanfic into an RP, you have to be sure to not railroad your players, force them into predefined roles, or make any of them unimportant compared to any other characters.



Because that's what happens in D&D when the DM uses the setting of a book they're writing. Every time.

I can make a possible list of roles for the first act



The story may have to be broken up into different Acts



Like the Tradegy of Julius Caesar

were can i joion in a roleplay? i love doing them but i dont know much dragon  right now ive learned how its spoken and a few words and phrases like pah shuul grind but my righting needs work  

 

From the second paragraph of the Roleplay Forum Rules & Guidelines thread:



"If you find an open RP you're interested in joining, post your character details to the thread for the GM to review. See the Player Character Guidelines section below for more on characters.

A GM may decline your request to join or ask you to alter your character to better fit their RP. If this occurs, please respect their wishes and find another RP to participate in if it isn't the right fit for you. Contact a moderator if you have any questions or concerns regarding RP conduct."



"Consider the following traits when describing your character:



-Name

-Race

-Gender

-Age

-Backstory

-Personality

-Skills/Abilities

-Possessions

-Goals



When creating a character, keep these guidelines in mind:



-Respect any character rules the GM has set regarding character race, background, power levels, etc.. It's within the GM's right to request changes if your character doesn't comply with the rules they've established.

-Give your character a goal with clear obstacles to overcome. This will give the GM and other players something to build on as the RP progresses.

-Give your character flaws and weaknesses. If your character is an invincible void dragon who's stronger than Alduin, for example, you aren't leaving much opportunity for a story to develop.

-Consider a character who compliments other characters in the group. Avoid a character that conflicts with or overshadows another player's character. For example, if an RP follows a band of Nordic elf hunters, don't choose an elf character unless the group agrees that's a story arc they're interested in playing out. As another example, if the group features a powerful wizard, don't just make an even more powerful wizard.

-Create a character that has the capacity to participate in the RP and use the dragon language. For example, in an RP about political intrigue in the Imperial City, you probably shouldn't roleplay a Mudcrab (without some well considered story reasons).

-Try to keep your character's abilities and possessions consistent. If the group ends up imprisoned, it would be unfair to the story for your character to pull a lockpick out of thin air. Likewise, if your character finds themselves poisoned, it would be unfair to suddenly declare that your character is part-Argonian and thus immune to poison."
