I've got a roleplaying partner, probably the only one I roleplay with on a consistent basis, that I chat to about my setting. Every.Damn.Day We are on discussing the everything in the setting-cultures,how families are structured,how militaries are structured, what they use,etc. I am absolutely in LOVE with it because this person provides me with someone who is just as passionate about worldbuilding as I am because I feel that if you want a truly original roleplay,with an original setting,you need to have atleast a basic worldbuild done. And they don't ever get mad when I say I need a day or two off to think or overcome a writers block. It.is.AWESOME! also not to mention that this has been going on for about 2-3 years now so I'm proud to say it's been a good few years with an awesome person!

I just want to take a moment to gush about 1 Rper - @Nallore

I have been Rping with this Taco Hunter for the last year and she has been in many of my Rp's. When she first joined I wasn't sure what to think. Especially when a certain character did a certain thing. (She knows what I am talking about - and don't you dare throw your leg at me woman! LOL)

Over the last year she has grown by leaps and bounds as an Rper. Her context, amount of detail, way of working her characters, and dedication to the Rp's she is in - all of it an more have taken her from just being your average Rper to part of my Triple S Peeps. (Seal Team Six) ^_~

It has been a pleasure and an honor to be able to watch this growth and I could not be prouder of the progress she has made. It has truly been a joy to witness.

I want to point out two Rpers right now. @Sigil and @Rivaan

Both these guys I have been rping with for sometime.

Sigil is usually known as a great Rper and creator of very memorable characters. Anger, humor, and out of left field antics are things he is known for. Thing is, more tender moments or soft emotions is something he hasn't been great at. Over the last weeks he has pushed himself to branch out and tap that area of RP, leading to a massive break through for a character of his that was headed down a very dark path. I have to say I am beyond impressed with both the character and the Rper growth.

Rivaan as well has gone through some major growth as an Rper since he first joined an RP of mine and seeing his characters growth from timid little mouse to confidant healer over time is just brilliant. It was a change I was not expecting from the character and it wasn't just slapped in there, it came slowly and timed perfectly; true signs of a great Rper in the making.

These two are proving that pushing one's limits in an Rp, both as an Rper and for your character changes everything and turns you from a "place holder" to a driving force in an Rp.

Gentlemen, I tip my hat to you both. Well done!!

@Luna is probably one of the best Roleplay partners that I could ever ask for. Our Roleplay is one of the reasons that I've remained on this website. Thanks for giving me a great Roleplaying experience, friend-o!

@Lady Amalthea

It takes a great GM to push even dedicated RPers to overcome their own personal obstacles. Thanks, Lady A.

@Lady Amalthea, Thank you! ^^ I've learned a lot since I joined your RPs and I'm really glad I did so!

@Cynder

Aweee thank you. You are one awesome roleplay partner and I'm glad I'm the reason you stayed on the site

I have some really cool 1x1s going on right now, and it's just-- so satisfying!!!

It's so fun to have co-GMs. Usually, on the forum normally I RPG on, people will 9/10 times be running their games solo, but man having one or two other people to juggle ideas with, people to help, people to get cool new thoughts from, people to have point out new and unexpected ways you can take the setting and story, people to bitch with about mildly annoying problem players--literally the best.

Today is one of those rare days in RP, the day when an RP reaches the official 1 year mark. Today Darker Than Black reached that milestone. It's hard to believe we have been going strong for this amount of time. Not only the length of time that the Rp has been running but the quality of the RP. Despite every twist and turn, every character death, every new spot on the map, every monkey wrench thrown at the Rpers; it remains one of my favorite Rp's to GM.



I could not be prouder of the Rpers involved in the RP, each one bringing their own unique flavor to the RP. They are not only Rping wonderfully but using those sleuthing skills. Chapter 1 was solved and we moved on to Chapter 2. Each post they make draws them closing to the end of Chapter 2, and Chapter 3 is closer than they may realize.

So I want to gush and throw out massive thank you's all around to the tremendous Rpers in the Darker Than Black. @Sigil @Morose @Dragoknighte @Nallore @Scallop - 32 deaths so far and more to come and yet you keep trucking. LLA is ever watchful and yet you continue. Thank you for everything and welcome to the ranks of the Over 1 Year Strong Club for my Rp's. You are the third that is currently running and I hope you are not the last. Well done, each and every one of you!

I just want to send out a huge congratulations to my peeps in Soulless Regency for hitting the 6 month strong mark for my Rp's. This Rp has been a massive undertaking, everyone has had to learn a lot of lore, skills, fighting techniques. The plot has been heart-wrenching and twisted, dark and demented. You all seem to eat it up, weaving the romance into the story but keeping everything on edge. Each character is unique and a welcome addition and we have so much to do.

I cannot wait to see where this RP goes and to unveil more as the months go by. Things have just begun and I am so lucky to have you all in this RP! There might only be six of us but man, this has quickly become one of my most enjoyable RP's to GM. Thank you!!!

Shit. I dunno.

But like. I'm feeling pretty precise in my poker when it comes to the intellectual snooker. If you catch my cold. I mean, like. Motherfucking. my buddy and I are busting some bad vibes like a mercenary mission in metalslug and she was all showering some sense into my sentient soil.

she was all like. folding some them thoughts of failure that been festering my forest of thinking. Telling me that I need to stop shutting down my worlds and wraps, be a less negative in my magnetics mirages and put some positives in my porridge. That way what I serve will surf a bit farer than they are. Because I tried to make RP but my personality pops in and out of this portable place like a genie belonging to a blind man doing spring cleaning. So now I'm a bit more committed and going to seat my sore collector firmly in a new RP or a revival an old one and not let the downs dump my deposition.

If any of you, motherfucking. kindred ever saw any of my old RPs rolling about and wanted in. Poke me up because I might just revive it.

I don't know where you've gone or if we'll ever meet again. But godspeed, you magnificent bard of the ages. God-fucking-speed.

For the majority of my life, I have tended to be a person of a reclusive, introverted nature. I was never one to talk to anyone, much less share anything with another person or a group of them. No matter how I felt, I kept my thoughts and emotions bottled up, locked away deep inside. Ultimately, I was lost, and I never had anyone to talk to about events that had hurt me, events that troubled me to reconcile with or move on from.

Then, by chance, I found each one of you on this website. I, along others, had shown interest in a potential roleplay, but the OP had disappeared and never responded again. I was going to move on, just as I did with other dead interest checks, but then @wolverbells had asked in the thread if any of those previous interested still had an interest. She made her own interest check, and one by one, I had the chance to meet each of you in both of the new interest check and the roleplay.

Normally, I would have thought each of you as just another roleplay partner, another person that enjoys roleplay just as I do, yet I felt there was something different. Time went by and posts were made over nearly a month, but during that time period, I feel as if I've become good friends with you all. Not only do we share similar interests such as anime, but we've also had similar experiences. I shared personal experiences in the past that had hurt me, and unlike others, everyone of you were supportive. We had laughs sharing our stories, and I don't feel as if I've had another group of friends like you in the past.

I know this is awkward and hard for me to say, but I'm happy that I met you all. I've managed to get stuff off my chest that had been bothering me for months on end, and for the most part, my confidence is greater. Each one of you encouraged me in some manner, and I'm grateful for it. I hope we can stay friends for a long time, especially through whatever trials life forces us to go through.

Once again, thank you. Especially you, @wolverbells. If it wasn't for your revival in the interest check, I would probably never have to meet any of the awesome people I listed above.



Meatball, Fat Jesus, even the Shining Sunbro. Lord, you have went by many names, yet you're always have been a friend to me. Even through I've only known you for four years, so far you have been the only person I know in real life that has an interest in roleplaying, especially tabletop roleplaying. We talked about roleplaying countless times during lunch and our classes, and even not long ago you decided to join this site and roleplay with me. I just wish to say that it was nice finding someone to talk to about an interest that I had, and sharing the experience with a person I've known for awhile.

Keep on swimming in the Ysran Sea, Butterfly. Here's to another four years of being friends.



Wick, I have only known you for roughly a month, but during that time, I've been granted the chance to get to know you. We've talked about places we've been, and even movies we've watched. I know there has been times when I'm slow with a response to you, and also times when I hadn't even noticed you responded. I'd like to say that I am sorry for each of those times, but I also would like to say that I'm glad I know you. We've both enjoy the fantasy genre, and I have enjoyed your posts in the past.

If it is anything to say from a person that you've only known for a short time, I do hope we can continue roleplaying together in the future.



I wonder, did any of you think I would have passed up a chance to mention oranges here? Jokes aside, I enjoy roleplaying with each of you, even those that have disappeared or officially left the roleplay. All of us have shared a laugh, whether it was @Lauder's kobold disguising herself as a rock or @dereken creating the orange "meme." The post speed might grow slow sometimes, but no matter the speed, you all have captured my interest with your posts. I'm glad to be a part of such a great roleplay group, and I'm looking forward to more comedic jests and enjoyable replies from those that stuck around. For those that have left, it was nice knowing you, and I hope I can roleplay with you in the future.

I can honestly say that I have had really amazing writing partners in every rp I've opened. I almost always gm because of the double posting rule and I tend to use multiple characters. The best people are in here and I love all of the friends I've made in here. These are a few of them.

@King Tai A strong creative writer and friend. We have become Fb buddies too. Our conversations in and out of the guild just make me laugh my butt off. You are amazing and I hope you are always my friend. He has challenged me more than anyone else.

@Kyrisse One of the best and sweetest people. We've gone back and forth from Rp to Rp and we always have fun no matter what is going on in RL.

@Kurai Assassin He is a great friend and writer. I love writing with him. We've talked about everything from music to dreams and personal issues. I'd hug him through the net if I could.

@Venku Great romance writer, very creative and funny.

@Aquanthe is always kind and makes me laugh and or smile in the OOC's. I hope to keep writing with him for a long time.

@Garth lmao what can I say he makes me laugh, a lot. His dirty and creative mind keeps me hopping for new and interesting things to write.

@Demonic Angel is a creative and dedicated writer who has come a long way in her writing and I am proud of her progress. She is a truly nice person and she cares about the others she writes with.

@December Keeps me on my toes and we have spoken a lot over the months and I have enjoyed all of our talks and goofing off. I really love the characters we come up with.

@Blackpanther I really miss our talks and I love writing with you. You always have the most creative characters. I am never disappointed and I have been perplexed as to how to write with them before. Lol You challenge me sometimes and I love that!

@Rumikoohara Lol, she writes beautifully and she researches everything as if she were in that career professionally. Our personal talks always made me feel like we have so much in common in a lot of ways. I miss those.

@DABOMBJK is a good friend and writer. We've easily been in a dozen rp's together and he is a very funny person. I would highly recommend getting to know him.

@Poohead189 One of the first people in the guild that I met, this guy is hilarious with his characters and a really good person.

That feeling when you're absolutely brimming with inspiration for one or more characters and plots <333

I'm writing with someone (offsite) who was giving me one to two paragraph posts but over the past few days he's been stepping up and giving me more and matching my writing without me having to ask. I'm super proud of this guy and happy he's giving more of an effort, plus it makes me think he's invested in our RP, which is all I ever want. :)

Omg! Major kudo's to all my peeps in Duplicity! We now have that rare 2 year mark on the forum and we are still going strong! (Granted the rp itself has passed 18 months but the forum rounds up, lol) - Still! That is a major damn milestone!!! @The Grey Dust @Sigil @Dragoknighte @rivaan, you four have stuck it out through thick and thin and I am so freaking happy that you are around! Thank you so much for keeping this RP going, no matter what shit hits the fan. (Both in OOC or IC LOL) - Love my peeps!!!

@Lady Amalthea

Lady Amalthea is a great GM. She took me under her wing when I was brand new here. She did teach me a lot. Her games are always fun. If you can, get into one of her games.

I don't play with her anymore. We have different styles. Nothing wrong with that. Our styles are different. I find I enjoy the 1x1 games and a more free to low casual style.

But I still love her to death and grateful for the welcome she gave me long ago.

Dropping some major gushing kudos to my peeps in After Miranda. We have hit the 12 months mark for the Rp and that is fantastic! So giving a shout out to @Sigil, @Morose, @Dark Light, and @BlueSky44. I also want to send out a special kudos to @FantasyChic - she started the RP with one character and didn't like the way it went. After pulling that character she came back with new character with a completely different dynamic that looks to be a lot better fit for the RP. It's wonderful to see an Rper instead of leaving an Rp and sweeping it under the rug to come back and give things a second go. It is one of the things that helps Rp's last and keep trucking!

Again, major kudos to you all, new comers, ones from the beginning, and those on round 2! We will keep aiming to misbehave! Stay Shiny!
