Basically, topics/categories will be posted in this thread. To anyone who participates, its your job to nominate any character from any roleplay that matches each topic to the best of their ability (you may explain why your chosen character best fits if you'd like). After an amount of posts, the post with either the most agreements or 'likes' would win. Then the user who...

This is something that I'm sure has been on the minds of many a GM here who've seen players all but drop because they don't feel like posting. Using this thread, I want to get to grips with probably the hardest thing to really nail down about players: What makes you not want to post? What about your situation in the roleplay or even in real life makes you just want to put off posting for weeks on end?

This isn't a thread dedicated to me...

As a roleplayer, I have a few races I've developed- or adapted, in some cases- one one such race is the Euthoran dragon, made up of around two dozen individual species. For those of you who followed Fyreborne when I was still updating it, the dragons in that were of this race.

Over time I started developing their native language, called Drakine, or drákirou in their language. I've been working at this for over two years, but only...

Just what is this heresy? But no more.
