Creating an RP

paragraph

Determine what the RP is
First thing's first: What's your RP about? Where is it set? Can anyone join or just a few people? Does this RP have a specific story, or can players do whatever they way? You need a clear idea of what this RP is about before you start. If you want to start an RP, but aren't sure what RP you want, you could brainstorm ideas with other members in the Role Playing Hub forum board.

Determine the rules
Once you know what your RP is about, you need to decide the rules that the players must follow. The typical rules that most RPs use are these:
 * RP Type = (Private, Open, ect.)
 * Writing Style = (Casual means that people can write however they want, detailed means they must write details, actions and descriptions as if they were writing a book)
 * Character limit per-author = (This is how many characters each player is allowed to have - this is usually 1 or 2, though it can be more)
 * If you want the RP to have an "M" rating, include the words "Mature Rated" in the rules. If it is not a Mature RP, don't specify a rating, RPs are automatically at a "PG-13" level.

More or less rules may be used(or invented) so long as they do not contradict the site Rules.

Gauging interest
Before creating an RP article and thread, it is usually wise to find out who all would be interested in joining first. This is usually done by either creating a thread in the Role Playing Hub, or talking to other users in the chat room or chat threads.
