DreamWidth is a journal format site based off the original code of LiveJournal, independently run by two fantastic and experienced mods and a slew of amazing volunteers. The team has gone through some gigantic lengths to ensure that the content on the site is what you want to post: NSFW is allowed and there to stay.
In addition, DreamWidth is a very stable site that has previously taken in hundreds of thousands of journals from back in 2012, when LiveJournal’s changing environment led to many rpers needing a new home. They have the means to accomodate a rapidly growing userbase already, which means that it’s there for you, right now!
For a lot of people, DreamWidth’s biggest pull is its ability to host communities, which are used for anything and everything- but this post focuses on fandom and roleplay!
Why DreamWidth RP?
DreamWidth rp is more community-focused, with a large amount of games already up and running. There are a few pulls the website layout has for rpers:
The ability to create vast communities were dozens to hundreds of people can interact in both game (established settings with moderators), meme (open prompt posts that allow you to interact with who and what you please), dressingroom (usually more orientated to one fandom, but generally open to whatever prompts or stories you’d like to play out), and musebox (your very own personal place to interact with friends and play out whatever you like more privately) communities and styles.
Threading: staggered responses to other players, which means all your rping for a storyline or prompt can be stashed away on a single page!
Subject Headers may seem like a very simple thing, but they act as a tagging system, so we can warn each other for any potential cws in our writing!
These are only a very small amount of the benefits, and I encourage anyone reblogging this to write out what’s important to them!
A buddy system?
Changing from one site to another always means getting lost in the how to’s and etiquette of that particular site and its userbase. To assist and welcome anyone interested, our lovely ChristmasElf (an anonymous user who often promotes gift giving and giveaways to the community) has set up a space for you to ask questions, find communities you might be interested in, work with others familiar with the site to try out rping there, and anything else you might desire!
We’re really excited to meet you all; so many people have already tracked the entry in the hiopes of being the first to welcome newcomers and give them a helping hand or a kind word where wanted or needed!
i really love the concept of leaving notes on the ground for other players in a game with only premade words and phrases to choose from because like
bloodborne is already fun, but seeing “it’s the scourge of the elderly” before fighting a bunch of old dudes on a bridge, or “reminescent of snake” to warn you an NPC is a traitor, "gorgeous view ahead” in front of a mirror, “reeks of wheelchair”, and my personal favorite
I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve had a really hard time finding collections of Demon’s Souls lore that are well thought out and actually sourced. THIS IS. Its fantastic!
So if you haven’t seen it before and are curious about some Demon’s Souls lore this honestly covers almost everything with all of the best theories out there. Go take a look! There is a 89% chance you wont regret it.]
