Hello Roleplayer Guild.
I'll skip the part where I introduce myself because I already did that
here. I'd like to talk about something I experienced a lot of when I frequented gaiaonline for my roleplaying. This was a long time ago and I was quite young, so make fun of my choice of website if you want - I won't be offended.
The concept is simple. We called them "Tavern/Inn Roleplays" and they were, essentially, directionless and without story and setting beyond a simple tavern/inn in a fantasy world of some sort. That's about as much as the person who started the thread would ever give you, aside from some additional information on the surroundings of the tavern and details about the world it is within if they decided they wanted to be a bit more specific.
In a Tavern/Inn Roleplay, almost anything seemed to be fair game. There was almost always an incredible rainbow of character variation. Vampires, werewolves, magicians, elves, demi-gods, you name it. We might roleplay one character or we might roleplay a half-dozen characters. The setting forces interaction between almost all characters involved due to proximity, but also allows for privacy with the addition of the Inn component. A fight might break out outside of the Tavern, and that was fine too. Somebody might be inclined, one day, to create a character that has showed up because of some hatred for another persons character -- or maybe an irrational hatred for Taverns -- and try to burn the place to the ground. Maybe he comes with an army of skeletons. This is the freedom of the concept - we drive the story and we create the lore. There are very few predetermined parameters/restrictions.
Would you guys be interested in such a concept? If I were to start one here, I would hold it to a moderate-to-high standard. We don't
need novels (although sometimes a good wall of text written by the right person is downright awesome) but just due to my personal preferences, I'd like to see some meat to a post. Some meat with proper grammar.
If you have any questions about the concept, I'll gladly try to answer them.
