Windfall: A Character Driven Fantasy

@Hyde Hmmm, maybe! Might keep it to just players, but if you want to stay in the know I can just chat with you!

@Yankee

_Rude. That's completely understandable. I'll definitely be interested in hearing updates and I'll probably read from the forums at the very least.

Windfall ☄ A Character-driven Fantasy

Hi, I'm Hyde and I'm here to probably watch this Roleplay.

Is forum Roleplaying beginning to slow down?

I don't think forum roleplaying is dying down or anything close to it. If anything, the time people can devote to it is dropping, but that's probably because they're becoming less available. Regardless, I think the hobby itself remains alive.

@metanoia

This is partially the conclusion that I've come to as well. I feel like 1x1, Casual, and Advanced are active for the most part with Roleplays that have been ongoing for months or even years. I've noticed that some categories are a little less active than others, however, with Arena coming to mind. I figured that maybe combat Roleplay has begun to die down a little itself, but I've been dipping over to Iwaku and RPNation on the side with both appearing to be a bit on the slow side as well (especially Iwaku). It were these observations that got me thinking about this topic because I don't necessarily think that it's a Guild-related issue at all. Now I'm just not sure at all and I was wondering if anyone else had their own theories on it.

I'm joining the Discord anyway. I mean. . _{Can I join the Discord anyway, ma'am?}

Is forum Roleplaying beginning to slow down?

Topic says all.

I'm curious to hear what others think regarding this matter. For clarification, I'm not accusing any specific website of slowing down, stagnating, or dying. I do feel like, however, I clearly remember times when Roleplaying on forums across the internet was a bit more active. I'm not sure where the shift has gone, but is there anyone else who feels that Roleplaying on forums is becoming less and less popular as time progresses? If so, do you have any theories as to why this is? My best guess is Discord, personally, as I've seen plenty of dice games, for example, switch over to it. My other guess is that many active Roleplayers usually become busy with life which is doubly true nowadays considering the state of the world. It's hard to say for certain, however, and if this actually a trend or just the perspective of one person.

Even still, I'm curious where others lie on this matter. Anyone out there have any thoughts on this?

I'm glad that you managed to finish it. I'll quietly watch from afar though I really don't know if I can commit. It's such a cool concept though.

Hi everyone

Is there a place here where I can get tips on casual/more advanced writing? I had the Idea to just check a few of the public roleplays and see how they do it, but I thought I'd ask just in case I'm missing something set up for this

@BlondeGunship

I can't think of any specific places to find tips or advice, unfortunately. Most of it tends to be trial and error as it were. You might be able to find some ideas in this section here though. Some of the guides here really saved my life when I was just getting started. Good luck!

Hi everyone

Good question. For now probably just things within my comfort zone, somewhat fast-paced and matching my general interests. I probably just can't do a large post one time a day (or something akin to that) for now. Maybe I will get into it, maybe not. I'm actually very open to things, but relatively passive.
Since I've never done anything with people I don't personally know I'm not sure what exactly to expect. So far it's been quite pleasant

@BlondeGunship

It's good to hear that it's been pleasant so far. We have quite a few sections with a variety of Roleplays though some are more active than others. You can start by taking a look at interest checks to see what grabs your attention: Free, Casual, Advanced, Nation, Tabletop, 1x1, Arena, and General. I hope that you're able to find what you're looking for at the end of the day and please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions. Most of us are pretty friendly and usually happy to help however we can.

Hi everyone

Welcome to the Guild, @BlondeGunship. Good on you for pushing your limits of shyness to post this and I can say for certainty I've met other users here that suffer from that introversion as well, myself included. What kind of Roleplays are you looking to write while on here?
