Current Star Wars Persistent World, that was a thing that was sort of a thing. Kind of.

The ones from Calle are usually monthly. I tried to start another one a few years back.

If you feel like you need help no shame in going out there and getting it. Take care of yourself.

I think you can develop a flair. A personal style. Words and phrases you like. That's why I don't get using Grammarly for word suggestions.

If you feel like branching out maybe try Casual Group RPs.

I prefer Advanced but Casual has a lot more threads so there is a higher likelihood of you finding something that hits the right spots and gets your creative brain juices gurgling.

It seems like a good number of folks have joined up recently, you're in good company.
Dogs are good animals.

You're going to do just fine here.
If I can still the CS I'll join again as Danger Fontaine, Masked and Mustachioed Mad Man of Massachusetts
I don't think I've ever seen someone like take another persons OC and use them themselves in subsequent RPs, at least not without consent and even then very rarely. That would pretty much universally be heavily frowned on. Even making a parody or clear espy of another persons OC would raise many eyebrows.

One way you can help avoid that too is to cut back in your characters influence in an RP if you feel you may not be able to continue.

If there are seven folks in an RP and one guy RPs as squad leader, meaning until he/she posts again no one can continue the RP, if he/she ghosts someone, usually the GM, will have to address that characters absence somehow. So if you're going to have to drop advise the GM or throw up a quick post about why your character is either out of the RP or inactive for some time.

Maybe you get injured and will have to seek mid to long term medical care in the next city. Maybe you get a message from a family member and have to leave to attend to family business. Maybe you just disappear in the dead of the night for reasons that may or may not be explained later.



So basically we have passed Basic Training and have yet to be assigned to, test for, or even work with any Specialty division.

We're fresh meat having just passed Initiation. Untried, untested, not yet consecrated in the flames of battle. Not yet baptized in the blood of our vanquished enemies. Deaf yet to the chorus of our future dying foes, twisting and thrashing about in the ashes of their dying world. Etc etc. Bad ass stuff we haven't done yet.
Could be a fun bit for character development too. If your character wants to be tactical but is assigned a heavy weapon, or if he wants to start taking a leadership position but someone else has been granted that spot. If he wants to be a leader and therefore he wants recognition he might be frustrated by being put in a Scouting or Long Range position. Or really with following orders in general.

As a Hunter maybe that's something your guy wants to handle quickly, modifying his weapons or trying to finangle himself into a position with a stronger weapon.

For example my character I'm planning to have quite a high opinion of himself. Doesn't mean he's actually hot shit. But might create an opportunity to get into a contest with someone else, or might result in him getting put on shit duty for being too haughty. Or maybe events come to pass that quickly set him straight and give him some perspective.
Read over your Reddit posts there, Discord link no longer works.

If you're still interested in doing it I'd be interested in joining. I tried running a Deadlands RP once a few years back. Read a decent bit of the materials and some other sort of Weird West materials for ideas.
