Besides being a resource for beginners, this community has monthly discussion posts for logged-in users to discuss roleplay on Dreamwidth. You can use a personal journal, a roleplay journal, or a sockpuppet journal.

The rules here are simple:

Do not call out any particular individual player by name.
Be kind to one another.

The general purpose of this community is to be uplifting and helpful, so although political and religious topics are not banned, arguments should not take place here. If you feel yourself getting heated, it's best to take a step back.

Notice something in the monthly post getting out of hand? Report it below. Comments are screened, but are liable to be unscreened as they are dealt with.

I am creating this post to get input and suggestions on creating the monthly posts in this community in the future.

The first actual monthly post will go up at the same time as

enablemeplz's monthly post on September 12, 2026.

The current template I have created is below the line. Keep in mind that

enablemeplz has posted a sample of what future posts will look like and that I am deliberately trying not to duplicate anything.

Please use the Suggestions heading below to comment on what you think should change about this sample post for the future.

Dreamwidth has storage on each account for up to 500mb of images. It's best to upload JPGs rather than PNGs if you want to maximize your space, as the file size is smaller. However, for RP purposes this is usually plenty of space. ( Read more... )

A lot of people are making the leap from Chrome and other browsers to Firefox for privacy and security reasons. I personally have made this switch, and being a heavy user of browser extensions I've also found several that help make RP easier.

I have included a the comparable Chrome extensions after the Firefox-specific ones, but I do recommend Firefox at this point.
