Alternate RP

[mortal Offline]

Hey, was just curious what other games people are currently RP’ing in? I have been rp’ing in swtor for several years and am thinking about trying out Elder Scrolls Online — its the only game where I think I can get something decent with vapire/werewolf type stuff. Any recommendations on other games etc to try?

I know it’s probably not what you want to hear, but I have to recommend second life. I know! Everyone seems to have problems with SL, but it has a massive werewolf and vampire RP community. Other than that, I’m kinda stumped on game titles.

I can confirm TESO. I’ve seen people who advertised their Vampire/Werewolf RP guilds.

War. War never changes. Since the dawn of human kind, when our ancestors first discovered the killing power of rock and bone, blood has been spilled in the name of everything, from God to justice to simple, psychotic rage.

Nwn 2 if there were a vampire/werewolf popular server at the time. The Sigil server probably lets you play either but I imagine the mechanic you’re looking for is more world of darkness-like…. which is kind of hit or miss with that game (it’s dying anyway, probably best to just let it die)

I tend to run tabletop with my circle when I RP. I’m sadly kind of elitist and don’t usually trust randomers to RP in lore friendly and («)reasonable(«) ways: too many bad experiences in WoW with people either being special snowflakes or not even bothering with the setting out of preference to do their own thing instead. Or ignorance, either or. That and I tend to get super uncomfortable RPing if I don’t know that everyone around me is as well, which becomes a problem in MMO’s unless it’s some sort of regulated RP server. Dogma is my attempt at finding a game to RP in where I hope most, if not all, people are in on it.

Currently role-playing in FunCom’s sandbox,  Conan Exiles.

Overall good game that permits mods. 

One of the mods enhances the rp aspect, i.e.  harvesting grass in the original version, the mod version harvest grass, fruit, etc.  kill a deer and harvest meat, bones, etc, the mod version all the original plus milk, even kid deer.

Build your own village and then rp in the village you build.

Or rp while you build your village, and continue rp after village is built.

It is early beta so it’s still has much to improve.

Buy the game for $40 and play for free after that.

You can even host your own server, those run about $10 to $75 a month, depending on how many players you want on the server, etc.

The End.

I’m roleplaying on the NWN 2 Roleplay server, Baldurs Gate, the Sword Coast Chronicles.

Very good server and roleplay comunity, a good training for roleplaying in dogma.

Then I really hope this game works out for you. I think my rp experiences have pretty much been the reverse of most peoples. I began rp’ing with SWTOR (because, you know, star wars) and have been extremely fortunate with those I’ve met with and call friends but have never actually done any tabletop rpg. Just doesn’t appear to be very popular in my area, the fact that I’m not really into the high fantasy setting (orcs, elves etc) rules out D&D etc which, I assume, is the most popular genre.
