Site Navigation

The site is divided into three main areas: Storytelling, Role-Playing Tools and Clans and Groups. Use the signpost to access the relevant area.

Storytelling

Storytelling focuses on player imagination and interactivity. Chat and forum environments allow players to interact and write a freely flowing storyline, either in real-time (chat), or over a longer course of time (forum).

It mainly works by posting, say, a paragraph or two of a storyline and then you wait for another player/member to respond and build upon the overall story. Players can explore and create their own fictional characters to use in these interactive threads. It's like turn-based free-form role-playing, but sometimes different clans or groups have their own guidelines or rules.

Of course, you can also just post a story or poem outright into the Poetry & Short Stories section without interacting with anyone, and seek feedback on your work(s).

Role-Playing

The Role-Playing section provides articles and tools to facilitate role-playing, or support the workings of storytelling. For example, you can generate character names, do some elven/drow translations, or read/contribute some articles for newcomers.

Clans & Groups

The Clans & Groups area is our catalogue of our member-created groups. You can seek to join these, meet others and play in different settings and environments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use established characters?

We do not allow copying (or usage for storytelling or role-playing purposes) of another player's characters without their express permission.

However, throughout the years, we have allowed players to create likenesses based on major novel, TV, game, anime and film/movie characters. These are Non-Player Characters (NPCs), if you like, that belong to an established setting or campaign (for example: Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons).

The origin of this site was in Yahoo! chat which advocated free-form role-playing; essentially, have fun and role-play in (generally!) good taste.

If you use a character from a setting, please post something in your character profile to that effect, giving credit where its due.

I want to post artwork for my character. Can I do this?

Our upload forms will let you do this. However, let's be clear: if you are using someone else's artwork please be respectful and seek the artist's permission to use their art and imagery.

Many artists provide guidelines for using their images.

Many may let you use their artwork if you can put some copyright text over the image, or link to their website from your character profile. We recommend always giving full credit to the artist in your profile.
