Is there any roleplaying community?

Greetings,

It's been awhile since I've logged on, but I've gotten into D&D 5e since then.

This has got me wondering: Is there any roleplaying community on P99? I read a post from several years ago that BDA had some things going on, but haven't found very much else.

Does anybody else roleplay in smaller groups? What's it like for those who try? Thanks!

Garette

Red is your best option for in-depth roleplaying.

Hmm, not looking for such a cutthroat experience, even if I lose some of the real roleplaying quality.

Thanks for the response!

That was a joke, red is about as far from Roleplaying as you can get. On a serious note, there have been a couple roleplaying guilds on blue over the years but im not sure that any lasted very long. It's kindof a small sub-group of the community here.

I watch dnd shows on Twitch a couple times a week; I've never really known the people to get into it irl but I'd totally play if I knew the right group online.

I've been thinking of trying to get a group together to play The Quiet Year also. There's a Roll20 module for it: https://marketplace.roll20.net/brows...the-quiet-year

I was trying to get a homebrew 5e game set in Norrath going on Roll20, but it didn't get much traction.

That's why I thought about coming back and just seeing if there was anybody who roleplayed here in game. You probably have to use your imagination, but I can see some cool things happening in all of the dungeons (even Crushbone + Blackburrow)

How exactly would this work as rolling of dice is now banned?

Rolling dice isn't banned. Just casinos.

Well, I was originally going to use Roll20 but as mentioned it got very little traction. It would have basically been a D&D 5e game with some modifications to class names, races maybe, set in the world of Norrath. The first campaign I was working on was set in Qeynos and was a rescue mission for a scout which would lead to an eventual crawl through Splitpaw as a result (at higher level, of course), slowly uncovering more info about an actual war to build on the natural hatred between the Gnolls and Qeynos.

Much of the "dice-rolling" is done by the computer, so I'm not sure how a roleplaying adventure would work in this environment, but it would be interesting to explore.
