RolePlayer.Me Lets You and 80,000 Users Live out Their Fantasies

Roleplaying games have come a long way since the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons back in 1974. And even though nothing can beat the feeling of playing tabletop roleplaying games with a couple of friends, and cursing out loud because the dice roll was not good, the information age has brought with it an alternative – online roleplaying games. Roleplayer.Me is currently one of the largest roleplaying hubs on the web, with over 80,000 users and no intention of slowing down.

Launched in 2011, Roleplayer.Me is a social network dedicated to roleplaying. It gives its users the ability to create storylines and role­play through those stories as a character they created. It’s an interesting concept, albeit not a completely incomprehensible one.

The idea behind this site is to give its users a simple, social network-­like user interface and provide them with the tools to make stories that involve other people. Other users then play out the story with their own characters, making the experience as personalized as they want.

An Elf? An Alien? A Lawyer? Why Not All…

You see, roleplaying is not strictly based on fantasy worlds such as the aforementioned D&D. You can role­play any character and any story, the only limit is your imagination.

You can create a character that works in a law firm, and role­play a story where he and his coworkers save the world from a giant alien invasion using nothing but office supplies, or you can go the “old-fashioned” way and be a knight who fights to gain the affection of a beautiful lady. You can even role-play as a fearsome blogger (or just start a blog!). All those things are available at Roleplayer.Me, because the site itself does not limit your creativity in any way.

Roleplayer.Me serves as a hub for all roleplaying enthusiasts and gives you complete control over what you do in your fantasy world. All you have to do is fill in some basic information, interests and such, and you’re ready to customize your characters. You can select different role­play lengths of your preference, as well as up to six different genres of role­play that you wish to participate in. These range from fantasy, anime and videogame role­plays to movie, superhero, and undead ones. There’s something for everyone.

A World Without Limits

After you’ve made a character (or characters), you’re ready to join a group.

Groups are where characters come to role­play, and you can look them up by category, again finding your preference. After finding a group that suits your style and interests, it’s up to you to make the best out of the experience. You will communicate with other players and go on all sorts of adventures, all powered by Roleplayer.me.

The lack of limits is probably the biggest reason for the success of role­play not just in its tabletop version, but also its digital versions. We are all familiar with the phenomenon of Second Life, where people create entire different lives inside of a video game just to role­play a particular fantasy they can’t (or don’t want to) live in real life. Also, there is an abundance of massive multiplayer online role playing games where you take control of a character and venture into the world. That is precisely why Roleplayer.Me wants to give you an opportunity to experience the “real” kind of role­play, without the fancy graphics and powered only by your imagination, and the imagination of your friends and group members.

Live Your Creation

Imagination is wonderful, and tabletop and textual RPGs are fantastic too. They give you an unprecedented level of immersion simply by letting you make your own path limited only by your ideas. That’s why Roleplayer.Me is a website you need to check out, be it just out of curiosity or because you’re a roleplaying veteran. Everyone can find a group and type of role-play that suits them, and embark on an adventure that requires little more than a simple PC and an internet connection, no expensive graphics cards and all that. Your journeys are based on what you imagine, and we can all agree that your mind makes the best graphics anyway, right?
