"The Lure of Roleplay"
This blog post comes from Sy, you can comment on RPA here
FOR me, it’s been quite an eventful year. I’ve been captured by vampires, fought with space pirates, conducted an illicit romance in Georgian England, investigated a haunted manor and risen to a position of prominence in an internationally renowned company – by sleeping with my boss. I’ve also faced down an evil magician, taken tea with a...

Downtown with Keeper
Repleh:“Sir, that report, have you gotten it done yet?” Me: “What report?” Repleh: *sigh* “The one for the blog, sire, it is due tonight” Me: *turns head* “Seriously?! Oh well…. Throw something together about the battle arena or the game section, I don’t know.. wing it” Repleh: *sigh again* “Sire, I cannot fake another report, now please, stop playing your games, watching youtube videos, and do...

Probably not!
Thanks guys for following this thing! XD
Friendship
RPA is great for all the roleplays and writing you could ever ask for. But of course everyone already knows that. The real RPA secret is the great friendships we have. Everyone is so friendly and nice that you really can’t be an active member without making a few friends. My best friend on the forum (Alice) and I have been friends for about 2 years now and I love her to death. She’s known as “The...
So… I was asked to write up something that is close to my heart. Fairies. <3 I thought it would be fun, and expected to just ramble one about them, but much to my surprise? I found that.. I really didn’t have much to ramble about. I just love them, and believe with all my heart that they exist. It’s hard to just expect you, dear friend, to believe so blindly based on my...
Let's get ready to ruuuuuuuumble!
So with 2012 finally here(less than 12 months before the aliens come) it is time for the second annual Rumble on RPA. Our returning champion, Auki, puts her title on the line, facing all comers what is sure to be an extravaganza of mayhem and chaos. It’s a battle of epic proportions. Witness the Lumbago in San Diego(don’t look at me like that, you try to find something that rhymes...
A New Years Message from Mysteria
With the close of a passing year we usher in a new. This last has held many fantastic times and memories for RPA. We’ve seen many great members become a part of our wonderful RPA community as well as having been saddened by the loss of one of our own, Bravado. As we move away from the past year and into the New Year, I’d like to take a moment to reflect on one of my own personal...

A Christmas Poem from Troy
V’s Note: Sorry I’ve been a bit slacking so this is a few days late XD
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through RPA Not a creature was stirring, not even Siksta Slathalin The Role-plays were left in the forums with care, In hopes that Anne Bonny soon would be there. The members were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of awards danced in their heads. And Mysti in...
Confidence.
Sometimes I wonder where I would be right now if I had grown up full of confidence.
But none of that matters I guess.
It can change a person, confidence, maybe not straight away but over time. “Yes I can do this” is a much better feeling than thinking you cannot, it’s a happy feeling knowing that you can do what you want to do.
If you told me when I joined RPA way back in...
December
And finally after another year we’ve come to December.
It’s a busy month for people, getting ready for the upcoming holidays, Christmas, New Years, everything that falls at the end of the year.
So don’t be worried if you’re not around as much to post in your RP’s or hang around Downtown – or whatever you like to do.
Go out have some fun with your family for a...

Winter art contest and more
Do you feel the cold season in the air with a weak sun ray? When the leaves depart from their trees and fly astray… And everything turns yellow, orange and gray Never fear dears, Because we have solution for this, here in RPA That’s right, what can possibly warm up our hearts in the winter aside of a hot cup of tea? Glad you asked. To be honest, nothing like a good winter contest to...
Thanksgiving
Well, it’s almost my favorite day. Here in the USA, Thursday of this week will be Thanksgiving! It’s without a doubt one of my favorite holidays. It’s a great time for friends and family and delicious food. I know a lot of families have traditions, its part of what makes the holiday special. We always had loads of people at my house for Thanksgiving when I was a kid. Both my mom & my dad were...
Wattz: NaNoWriMo
OH MY GOD NANOWRIMO NANOWRIMO NANOWRIMO— *ahem* I mean, oh my god, it’s that time of the year for NaNoWriMo! Here at RPA, we endorse the right for mankind (and forumkind) to exercise its right to create with reckless abandon. Yes, that’s right, you too can write up a 50,000 word novel in a month. Just hash that shit out, don’t fight the flow! Your mind’s inner creativity implores you to let it...

All Hallows Eve
Nightmares, they are something that haunts us all. Figments of our imagination that becomes real in the forms of dreams. To some the night of Halloween can become a living nightmare; a night where ghosts and other creatures of unimaginable proportions walks the streets. It is a night where movies that are meant to frighten and scare are shown to those who so dare. RPA is no different. However,...
RP's and Music (or something)
Sometime all it takes is one line in a song to spark something.
I listen to a lot of heavy metal often of which bands contain fantasy or speculative lyrics. There are times when I stumble across a single line, or 2 or complete sections of these songs that just inspire me. Perhaps not to write a complete story but part of one. Part of something.
Eventually these will build up to be a full forming...
RPA Gets Spooky
Its that time of year ghouls and gals where the creatures of the night come out to play. We have 2 great contests going on right now, so its time to get your creative juices flowing and show RPA what twisted, monsterous thoughts are lurking inside. For those of you into more visual horror, check out our signature contest. http://role-player.net/forum/showthread.php?t=20571 And for those of you who...
RPA and Food
For this entry, let us talk about the issue of “Food”. Now, I know most of us know the old saying of “Eat to live”, but truly, how many of us do enjoy the idea of “Living to eat?”. Maybe it’s about the shape of the food or the way it is presented to us on the plate? Could it be the smell of certain style or the feeling of eagerness as you wait for the hot...
Breaking Routines
It’s funny how you get into routines, and don’t even realize it. My routine is usually pretty simple. Get up, take care of my dog, take care of my really old cat, yeah.. she’s like 18! That’s like a million years old in cat lives. Then take a shower, clothing, misc grooming stuff, coffee, cause there always needs to be coffee then RPA. The best part, of course being the RPA part. It’s a pretty...

Mary Sue: Escaping From Reality Can Help You Cope
I’ve always had an active imagination as a kid, and that hasn’t changed much over the years. Like a gardener, I take care of my imagination by carefully watering it and pruning off any dead pieces so that it stays vibrant, and full of life. The reason is because, without it, I would probably go crazy in our grey, suit wearing, traffic congested society. In my imagination, whether it’s through my...
Kris on Creativity
Hi guys Since I’ve been forced requested so nicely to write this entry, I’ve thought and thought for a long while and then decided to write about the subject of art. Now I know what guys must be thinking; Art is indeed a huge subject by itself, and covering it will take far more than few paragraphs, and yet I wish to discuss with you about the matter of artistic hobbies. Some of us...
G’day RPA how we all going out there? So have you guy’s ever wondered where those cheers, roars, screams and victory cries you hear on RPA are coming from? I’ll tell you folks, from RPA’s very own Battle Arena. This is one of my very favorite places on RPA, where else can you see a Winged lion have a soaring arial battle with ferocious griffin? Or a victorian gent tangle...

An informative update from Mysteria
Hey there fellow rp’ers! I wanted to suggest that if you haven’t checked out everything that RPA has to offer, that you stop by and check it out! There is much more to RPA than the many different styles of Roleplays that can be found on the site, and it offers a little bit of something for every taste out there. Don’t like to roleplay so much, or just aren’t really...
TwistedMyth's thoughts....
I don’t know what others are searching for whenever they seek a new roleplay. I’ve never really been sure what I go for myself. I know what I don’t like but that’s different altogether. But lately there has been a theme, of sorts, that draws me. Something about them being different, not really in the terms of plot or what I can use for a character. But the style, or what...
Ever have one of those perfect, “AH-HA” moments? I’m beginning to think they are few and far between. I mean, I used to have the all the time. Those days when everything when as perfect as perfect could be. Wake on time, ease into the day. No Stress, no trouble. The coffee is perfect, just the right amount of cream and the world is bright and shiny new. Then.....
Gigawattz!!! Member of the Month
The time is nigh for us to switch a page on our calendars, moving on to a new month. With this new month brings school (for some of us), heat (for most of us) and (most importantly) the August member of the month! This month the chosen member is the whole RPA package wrapped up in one! She’s probably most well known for her fantastic signatures that she graciously offers to everyone who steps into...

Our Creative Members
I think it’s almost common knowledge by now, but the amount of artistic ability RPA members have is seriously through the roof! Any page you go to, you see members sporting beautiful, intricate signature and avatar sets made by one of our 15+ active request shops. And each one has their own unique style and ability, so whatever kind of set you’re looking for, you don’t have to look far. Even...
Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m Nagul and I’m here to bring you the latest blog entry for the RPA Tumblr page. Now when the illustrious LadieLuck asked me to do this, my first reaction was, “What’s a blog?” After an extensive three week course by LL, not to mention an exhausting search of Wikipedia, I finally know what a blog is. And I have to admit, when I hear it was for...
Friendship
I know sometimes people can be a little intimidated about making friends on the net. Believe me when I say that I still hesitate sometimes! The fact is you just don’t know what people are going to be like. But on RPA it’s almost unreal how easy it is to make friends. Everyone is super nice and welcoming and cliques are nonexistent. People who want a forum site where they can really be themselves...
Unforgettable
Today I realized something very unique about my favorite RP forum. Members leave, some more often than others, but they always seem to come back.
I, like most people in this techno-computer generation am a member of tons of sites, plenty of which I signed up for and never used or used briefly and have forgotten. RPA isn’t like that. It is unforgettable… I know that sounds silly,...
Creativity
It never ceases to amaze me! The roleplaying games the members of RPA create are all so diverse and intricate! Some take place in newly imagined worlds and center around high fantasy quests and adventures while others just find ways of making everyday life in the real world seem poetic and exciting. The talent on this forum always has me wondering how many names famous for writing are hiding...
Summer Forum Fun
Its hot outside, most places, right now. I don’t know about you but I don’t wanna be outside. I’d rather sit in front of my AC, thank you very much. Problem is the longer you remain an indoor introvert the less there is to do… if you’re a member of RPA however there are new things to do everyday, all kinds of games to play in every genre imaginable. And if you...
