Do you roleplay? Not RPG video gaming, but adopting a character and creating a story with other people. If so, what medium? LARP, forum, online chat, through an MMORPG, pen & paper? What are your pet peeves? How do you like to play?

I'm very free-form and don't like rules or numbers in my RPs. I think having a referee is good, to make sure people aren't completely out of line, but I don't like the idea of a DM having more creative control than anyone else. I haven't RPed in more than 5 years, but I used to really like it. I mostly did forum RPing, since it let me write out longer and more thoughtful messages as opposed to just spewing words in order to get my ideas out, which ended up happening in real-time RPs. I got fed up with having a lot of morons jump in and ruin all the good RPs I had going with people by saying "Vegeta is so strong!!! he comes and hits u all!!! u died and vetega says hahaha u r lusers" (which gets ignored, but after a few of those, it's just really annoying). I guess this is why you have rules. :P I kind of think forums are just good for meeting people with a similar RP style and interest, and then you can go off with those people and have your own invite-only RP forum. Incidentally, I've lost most of my RP friends over the years, so if anyone knows a good site for RP, let me know. :)

I want to, but don't have someone to do that with. but I'm mostly want to do the kind you refused to hear about in this thread.. I once did over the internet, in a chat room. that girl enjoyed the act. but I think it is stupid after all, but funny. well lots of funny things are stupid though (;

I've never gotten into the whole role playing thing. But good luck in your search and hope you find someplace good to express yourself at. :)

well actually, i been thinking on something new to do with my friends, so i bought up the idea to start playing Dungeon and Dragons. Now i heard that a small group of people who plays it want to have games at the local toy shop Land Of Make Believe. So i am thinking in the near future i will definitely start doing it.

I used to do narrative role-playing when I was a kid but I haven't done it in years and years. The D&D rulebooks were too complicated so we made our own lighter version. I also have a couple of Fighting Fantasy books left lol

It's one of those stereotypes that gets thrown around by people who know absolutely nothing about the subject. Like how Harry Potter is Satanic, or how Spongebob will make you gay. I and alot of the people I roleplay with would never do the "dirty kind."

I play D&D with friends every once in a while, but we don't really take the whole RP thing serious. We just play the game and crack jokes.

I think LARPing is the most ridiculously idiotic thing in the world. I can understand situational roleplaying like cowboys and indians, that lasts for the playing session and ends there, but not this LARPing trash where people actually set up dates to meet and wear ridiculous customs and go hunting for the ogre king. I can understand historical reenactments but LARPing is just too far. That 500lb guy with 10 lvl 80 WoW characters has more respect than LARPers :x As for non LARP roleplaying I dont do it, but i dont mind it.

I dabbled in it when I was in early middle school, it was actually quite a bit of fun...assuming you're referring to the thing where someone sets up a scenario and then one person posts, then the next person adds onto that and we keep on progressing and developing until it's over. I haven't done anything like it in a while though, I was sort of thinking about getting back into it a year or so ago but it never happened :P.

Never done LARPing. I'd feel rather silly. I'd like to do a tabletop RPG, but haven't had the opportunity. The two that interest me the most are Dungeons and Dragons and Paranoia.

This is exactly what I was thinking. Those tend to be tons of fun! I'm not as creative now as I used to be, so I'm not very confident about starting anything myself. That's why I was hoping someone knew of a good board or something. I met my old friends through Neopets of all places...since I was a pre-teen, it was not so shameful, but obviously, I'm not repeating that XD For those who think LARPing is so shameful, can you explain why? People are just dressing up and having fun. Isn't it more respectable to have a good time than to do what's "cool" and go out, get wasted, and get in a drunk driving accident? Okay, maybe I'm being a little extreme, but you get the picture. At least LARPers have the self-confidence to know what they like, even if it is looked down upon, and get out there and do it.

Why? I mean, I'm far to self-conscious to roleplay or LARP, but if thats what others have fun with more power to them. Its good to see people with creative imagination creating your own fun opposed to all the idiots who need drugs/alcohol to have fun.

Me and my friends play "Town" in Halo 3 sometimes with Forge. We make our own houses and run buisnesses. I'm usually a shop owner that sells everything, from cars to giant soccer balls to weapons and equipment. Sometimes one of my buddys will come over and we'll play splitscreen Halo on Blood Gulch, where one guy has just moved in and is a total crackhead, and is constantly pestering the lone hermit who has lived there for many years.
