Quoth BadKarma: I wonder what happened to make you think that.

Well, it's more of a gut reaction than a well-thought-out and fair opinion. Nor is it anything personal. I felt that way after reading through some posts on Furcadia's "behind the scenes" forum on role playing. It seemed to me that the hardcore role players were having more fun with introducing character sheets and typing up long lists of rules and massive amounts of continuity backstory (the type of stuff which often scare newcomers off) than with actually role playing.

Ah, I see. I don't do online, forum-based role playing. I do table-top role playing, and I role play my characters in City of Heroes. And by that, I mean I portray the character's personality. It's about more than just the numbers.

Actually, it's not forum-based role playing. It's the MMOSRPG [url=www.furcadia.com]Furcadia[/url], which can be described in an over-simplified manner as a chat room with graphics which allow you to see everyone. Players (AKA "furres") can Socialize (OOC stuff) or role play in one of two manners (the IC stuff) – Persona (anything goes) and Strict (continuity first). More info on the two types of role play can be found here.

Naturally, in order to keep players from ruining a Strict RP continuity, rules have to be laid down, backstory filled in, ways of solving disputes created, statistics need to be kept (in some cases, anyway). Some groups require newcomers to fill out applications and character sheets if they want to join the group. I know it's necessary to prevent players from willfully or accidentally screwing up the continuity. I have no gripe with that.

Unfortunately, it also scares away newcomers, intimidated by all the paperwork after a long day at work or school. And then established role players have the audacity to complain that those intimidated newcomers are really just lazy. Then they grouse that role play is dying, in need of new blood, even though they're making sure they're keeping people out of their role play. They type out pages of continuity stuff on their websites, but don't say a word about what sort of fun a newcomer can have role playing there. To me that sends the message that the players aren't important, only the continuity.

I like to write; I just don't like the paperwork involved.

talk yes talk talk that sweat away rar!!!

Gee, this forum certainly screeches to a halt sometimes.
