Heya ladies!
In a few past discussions, there has been mention of maybe starting a Bella Sara Role Playing Game on this website.
What's the difference between a Multiperson Story and an RPG, then? I'll tell you!
An MPS involves short blurbs, like a conversation or screenplay, usually in the first person.
An RPG involves longer paragraphs (at least 250 words) and reads more like a book. It is also usually done in the third person, with a more directed plot. Characters in the story usually have profiles done in a separate board, and there is a cohesive story to follow.
Do we have any takers? Ideas? Interest?
-Starry

I love RPing, so this isn't something relatively new to me.
Also, I'd like to point out that RPGs don't always have to be in third person. I've been to many that play out in first person, and even a mixture of the two in different posts.

To reply to Rain: Cool! I myself haven't been in too many first person RPGs, but the ones I have been in were pretty awesome- we can take a poll to see if we want first, third, or a mix! to MJ: haha nope, that would take forever to get anywhere! RPG posts are generally pretty long, usually descriptive, and plot driven.  Does anyone have good examples of rpgs they can post for reference? |

I'll join. I love RPGs because they really help you with writing, train you in third and first person. I'd like first person if I have a say though o.o

Then it is settled! Maybe once everyone comes back from vacation we'll start it up- any plot/content suggestions or ideas?

I want to join! But wouldn't it kind of be confusing to have it in first person?

Why do people find first person so confusing? Oh well, third person it is. I have no ideas, none at all :I

Yeah, I don't see what's so confusing about first person. But whatever.

>_> if i use first person in RPGs i put the name of the char above...and there isnt really much difference between MPS and RPGs since they ARE practically the same thing...i found that out when i tried to do an mps on this one site...they said it should be part of the RPG forum >_<
