Anonymous asked: Hi there. I'm a white mmo player (Guild Wars 2, atm) who wants to make a character of color. I've been burned out on RP for a while, but may return soon. I still make small backstories for my characters, though. The character's in-game race would be Norn, (giant humanoids inspired by old Germanic culture) and will not be roleplayed for a while. I guess my question is if it's...

On Creating Black Characters
impossiblebreakfast:
I’ve noticed that lot of people run into trouble when trying to diversify their work simply because they don’t know any black people. They don’t know how a black person would think or act, and they can’t write what they don’t know. So I thought I would write up a quick list of pointers for anyone having this problem.

doublefangs asked: I guess I had just hoped they'd be "nice" since the RP's been in action a while and I just recently was asked to participate (rare thing, I guess?). The mods have "stated" that they're fine with COC, but I'm having my doubts a bit, too. You're right - I should call them out. I'll do that in the next group chat we have and see how bullshit the...

doublefangs asked: I'm a white RPer who was invited to a nice group RPG. However, all the characters in it are white except for half of mine (I have 4). I plan on writing more POC original chars b/c it skeeves me out that the RPG's NYC is all white & supermodel thin - so this place helps me not fuck things up too badly with my POCs. I was wondering if any of the mods or followers would be willing to...

blanketfrt asked: I'm coming in to introduce myself. I'm white, and I don't have the nerve to try my hand at a PoC character yet (specifically because I don't want to screw it up), but I'm following this blog to learn about how to do it right. I probably won't have much to contribute since I'm not even trying yet, I'll just be your silent stalker taking notes.

Want Ad for www-fuck-this-shityolo
“I usually like playing romance with a main fantasy storyline. I don’t like IC things like roleplaying a certain character. I just like making my own and seeing how they interact with other people’s characters.”
Also looking for play by post or forum type RP with either players of color or characters of color prominent.
Do you know any places to RP that fit this...

cyanea asked: My friends and I play OC POCs on a couple of forum-based (like LiveJournal type things) RPs. I actually followed this tumblr because I'm white and I wanted to learn more to help not totally screw things up when I'm RPing (of the 11 characters I have on one game, 9 are POCs).

ratchetpussynvrtastedsosweet asked: Hey! Love this blog and I was wondering if you know any safe places for RPoc's. I don't like Roleplayer Guild because of what happened to me(I submitted here). Do you know any other sites with a large populations of POC? As far as I could see, I was the only one on Guild(Put i wouldn't know for sure because you can't possible comfirm something like that without checking all rp...

Anonymous asked: Hi! First, thanks so much for this -- my partners and I almost cried when we found this. Second, we were wondering if anyone else does primarily OC RP. We noticed a LOT of people playing ME, WoW, and canon RP, but we've been in OC (using famous faces). It's a little weird, but we were wondering if any other RPoC were even into it like us. Thanks again!

A Post Apocalypse Love Story by moonprintjulip
If you would allow me, I would like to submit this on behalf of my good friend moonprintjulip. Should you publish it, please give him credit for it and urge anyone who reblogs to do the same.
I love Fallout. It’s one of a very few CRPGs I’ve seen the ending to and still play on occasion. Lately I’ve been playing Fallout 3 a lot and I find that I’m more interested in looking at the series from...

Skyrim character models by sonottechsavvy
I give thanks to Bethesda, makers of Skyrim and the last 2 Fallout games, for taking the time to put enough character personalization in that a player could make a poc that actually looked like a poc, and not just a well tanned white person. I always hated games that didn’t provide that, and role playing a character whose background was as a poc felt like such a farce because of that lack....

How I came to hate White people completely by...
It’s hard to make a statement about your character not being white without referencing their race ever five seconds. Many other Rps just over look it and pretend like my pictures weren’t of black girls with natural hair. They just act like I am white and carry on. Then I see a thread on the forum games “Racist jokes”. “This shit…” I think. I tell them...

Submission by ssuperhero
I don’t have a character to submit, but I do want to share a few anecdotes. I don’t currently role play, but I used to, and started around 10 years old. It was mostly anime related - Sailor Moon and Dragonball Z. Sometimes we had original storylines and characters.
Usually it was chatroom RP, but sometimes I participated in forum RPGs (pn PHPBB, InvisionBoard, VBulletin, etc).
