I miss role-playing. It's been years since I was in a good RPG. I remember the old days of AT&T, Yahoo, and AOL chatrooms. There used to be hundreds if not thousands of people who role-played back then. The semi-old-fashioned kind too. All text, no dice, just imagination. None of that anime crap or Buffy the Vampire Slayer. You make up your own story, your own mythology, your own kingdoms. It seems like forums are the last refuge of good ORPG's, and even those are few and far between. Like oasis' (is that right? Or should it be oasis's? Ah well. oh-aye-sees) in the desert.

And even when you do find one, the odds are against it being well thought out, or populated by mostly good writers. It's sad, really. So much of the internet these days is populated by video-gamers who hear "rpg" and think "like final fantasy?".

Eh. It's depressing. Even after creating my own website and filling it with pages of original content (going on two years now) I still seriously doubt that I'll even open it or get anyone interested enough to stick around. Either there aren't enough people online these days who like to write, or those that do just aren't interested in role-playing. Or they have some misapprehension about it. Role-playing gets a bad rep, but if it's done right it can be so much fun.

I really wish I could get Jenn into it. She's a great writer, and it'd be something we could do together. Eh. I feel old. And bored. And my muse has been in a coma for quite some time.

-----------For AmbyrJayde-----------

Go into Customize Site from your user menu. In the header portion, pick a spot and copy this..

.nublog_entry
{
background-image: url('http://www.tsrealms.com/forum/templates/AcidTech/images/body.gif'); color:white;
}

That should give your box a gray background with white font. It's a temporary fix. I would definitely suggest looking up some easy tutorials on CSS.

Wow, I didn't think anyone else missed a good RP. haha, good luck on your website

I don't know how, I've been contemplating just deleting the piccy and going to a normal background, but Willow (the girl in the piccy) is just so awesome i'd hate to do that.

I think the problem is education. The old members start to concentrate on work, so the new generation comes in, only taught English, and not how to use it, and...plus, the world's evolving. Games will never be the same.
You've just gotta find the people who still prefer the retro ways of online gaming, and it'll all be good1
(Easier said than done.)
