Why Scenes On Forums Is Important

[Nightstripe]

I would mention that although it is slower, forums can give someone something to look forward to, I find it quite fufilling to come up with a great line in the forums and wait to see other peoples responses.

I would also say that the forums allow a surtain amount of thinking time, if you don't know what to say, you may have some time to think on it, which is an advantage for newer players.

and I also found the site with a search engine, I believe I put in, "online vampire RPG" or something like that and it was at or near the top of the list, so you guys are doing a good job

You're totally right, Nightstripe! RPing on the forums is fun, and an interesting experiance. It's almost like we're all writing a huge novel or movie script together. And seeing that I'm a passionate fan of reading and watching movies, as well as an aspiring writer, this site is perfect. What's more, it allows me, and the rest of us, to excercise our creative reflexes. I believe that all of this site's members are amazing, creative people!

I have personaly only been in one chat scene, everything else has gone on in the fourm. (the chat room was an elisum meet) i do however keep thinking that there so got to be someone paying attention who shouldent be, like i expect to be ambushed one day and the ambushing group just happens to know things like avoid eye contact bring lots of auspex and things like that. now i havent done anything to warrent an ambush but its the panoid in me that makes me think its going to happen yes i just started looking through these posts, i also found this site by searching for it, i went to another site that listed a whole load of them and this one caught my eye, so youve got your name out there

I agree whole heartedly with Edge, Play-by-Post has lots of advantages 1) the major time zone difference (I'm in England so I'm bloody miles away) and it means that I can still RP a fair amount with everyone on here.

2) Weighing up your answers is IMPERATIVE to become a good player, in Chat it's hard to be able to read something, weight up your character's responses and then reply within a few moments and keep the flow going.

3) You can get a lot more done in a single "night" with Play-by-Post, as your character can have three threads all running on the same night a different time simultaneously. It allows you to make whole plans based on knowledge from other threads your character is in.

4) It's fulfilling to get a large number of posts up in a single thread, it's a sense of achievement.

Those are my thoughts, and as far as this site goes it's probably the single best RPing site I've been on. It's more in depth my TT games, and it has a more living world. I feel that it has one of the best communities too, I'm trying to get all my other TT troup on here in some way or another so we can get some serious RPing done.
