Preference for RP?

forum-based! I've actually never tried anything else.

 

I'm a big fan of one on ones via Discord, phpBB and Nova. I actually got into Tumblr RP a while back and that was pretty neat as well. It's got this sense of being both independent and part of a greater network at the same time, very groovy.

 

PbP forums for life. IM chat killed the first site I was on.

 

I highly prefer forum-based. i feel like i can stay more organized and i love being able to customize my profile and accounts with images and using post templates.
i have tried a few discord roleplays but they always tend to get too messy for me and i miss having individualized character aesthetics. It may have just been the few Discord roleplays i tried but those were my main dislikes. On the other hand, Discord roleplays are convenient and you get reply notifications fast and easily.

 

forum based RPGs are also easier to go back and read when you want to.

 

By order of preference:
Forum
Meatspace
PBEM
LiveChat

I love the written word, so for me that is the most important part. Plus, I am very wordy and hate character limits.

 

Oh my ! I have been "around the block" so to speak.

I would say Forum... and Historical Fiction is my favorite genre

I started back in the AOL Hell daze in live chat rooms. I remember surfing the rooms to find that "good group" of fellow RP's. Spent many hours in that sort.... but when AOL started dying off, there was Skype RP, which I did not like too much... then came the forums... and that became a home base mixed with AOL chatrooms, so became Skye, the Winged Isle (StWI) that lasted 5 years.... The other Admins and I would "edit" the AOL chat logs to fit the forum posts... and great site to RP. And that went away, and I slowed my RP to a snail's pace... and bounced from forum to forum... and made quite a few myself which did not last long or even did not get started... and so cometh the present... I have decided to make my present site work, or quit RP altogether.

 

Of everything I've tried, forum is still by far my favorite. <3

 

Definitely forum based - if only because I tend to get carried away when writing!

 

i used to do live chat roleplaying, but there was always a lot of pressure to respond in seconds. didn't give me any time to think about my character's actions, either. i love forum roleplaying so much

 

I've only ever tried forum RP and I couldn't imagine using any other type of platform.

 

Forums, for sure. I love to read all of the threads, even ones I'm not participating in.

 

Forums 100%

They seem to be going a bit extinct which makes me super sad. I'm not a tumblr person one bit and I despise RPing on discord. To each their own, of course, but I personally love my forum with discord used for chat+plotting.

 

Forum is 100% my preference. I do have a discord rp server, but only for a 1x1 between a friend and me.

 

I honestly believe forum roleplay allows for more freedom for the character and writer. I like both but prefer the forum play

 

Proboards Forums or Discord (I love using the tupper bot)

 

I prefer PBEM and have been playing that way for a while now.

 

I also prefer PBEM. I'm such an old dog when it comes to RP.

 

Forum. I have found discord to be the worse personally. Far higher ghost rate, people don't read sheets or plots or worlds. But I do email and am not against social media rp.

 

I had started on MySpace and AOL but once I found out about Forum RPing I couldnt look back. Ive had friends who have tried to get me to join the knock off websites of MySpace but I just didn't click and it was easier to make threads instead of roleplaying in Direct Messages or 'comments' on profiles.
