As you might remember, last year I started a thread asking for feedback about roleplay features. We got some great feedback, and spent a lot of time researching your concerns and desires.

At the end of it, it became pretty evident to us that a lot of what roleplayers wanted, was hard to give you because of our rules designed to stop people spamming for gold. Things like image heavy posts don't fit well here. We also found a lot of features on other sites that were suggested, didn't fit well into our site either. Then there is the whole adult content debate, and having moderators need to read everything that is written. Bottom line, Mene just wasn't the place to give you all everything you wanted.

So, with a bit of help from a few of the staff here, our awesome CK has developed a very awesome alternative. WTF RPG is the culmination of all the best features, and rules that we could come up with. It has sections for adult and PG13 roleplay, without subjecting minors to adult content unintentionally. It has a very nifty roleplay management system also.

So what is WTF RPG's relationship to Mene? Think of it like a distant cousin. We officially don't mind if you link to it, or in the middle of your games say "ah, this is getting a little too hot and steamy, lets take the next few paragraphs over to WTF".

I've created this thread for CK as she is currently detained by elderly vampires on holiday, but WTF really needs testers. The site is new, so it doesn't have much activity yet, but if you would consider starting a roleplay over there, and give some feedback about the system, it'd be greatly appreciated. Who knows, we might even be able to merge some of the features into Mene if we get enough interest in them :)

It wasn't elderly vampires. :c It's just the elderly (and Shamu, who may or may not be a vampire...)

If you click on the Forum tab, it'll bring you to a few of the sections on WTFRPG, like Adult Forum Roleplaying and Adult Character Journals. Otherwise, when you create an RP, you're given the option of sorting it according to whatever tags/genres you want or labeling it as Adult-Oriented. :yes:

Even characters, once you create them, can be sorted into a bunch of different categories:

Fantasy
Supernatural
Horror
Science Fiction
Futuristic
Modern
Historical
Fan-based
Other

And, what I'm wondering.. Is this site going to kind of a companion to Mene, or is it going to be completely separate? Like, posting on there won't ever give us gold on here?

PapillonCameo: & CuteKitten1211: - Did Knerd's post help you out?

I don't want to over-explain it if she did help you out and you're like, "Oh, I understand. :)" but if you're still a bit confused, let me know and I'll try to explain. :3 There's really not a lot of threads/games on the site yet, which is why it may seem a little more confusing than it's meant to!

@Papillon - This is a "distant cousin" site, as Insomniac said. Any posts you make over on WTF RPG do not count towards Menewsha and the site won't have "gold". Like Insomniac said in the first post, this is so that the posts don't have to be moderated or edited the same way they do on Menewsha. So you can use flobs in your games if you like, or post entire conversations in another language; etc.

I hope this helps. :3 Don't be shy about asking me any questions either here or on WTF RPG.

Yes, Knerd's post did help!

And thanks for the explanation, I was just trying to figure out the relation of WTF RPG to Mene. XD

Oh man, Oman. This seems like my cup o' tea. Longcat is pleased. and signed up!
I'm really liking the character profile section. This is helpful to me as I tend to re-use base characters or even drag them through multi-verses, so it's great to see that I can just plop them all in one easy to find locale.
this might mean that there will be less Longcat sightings on Mene and more on WTFRPG... but who knows.

Momo - The site is set up so that any "adult" material isn't really going to leap out at you even if you do have it set to allow adult content. ;) Any thread with "not safe for work" images need to be tagged with [NSFW] and not all adult themed rpgs will necessarily have graphic titles or descriptions. ;)

But if you're not looking for that sort of game, I don't blame you for leaving it turned 'off'. ;) If it wasn't turned 'on' automatically because I'm staff there, I'd only have it on so I could look for games that have more mature themes/violence levels, though not necessarily sexually charged plots. xD

I'm glad people are going over and checking it out! I keep writing up lists of games I want to create one day. But since I can't handle more than two or three games at a time as a player, it'll be awhile before I get around to playing any of them. ::laughs::

yeah, I need to go on there again later and look through it. When i went on it yesterday, I joined, looked at something then went back on menewsha for a while...then got kicked off the computer. xD;; So like I said, I need to check it out some more before I get kicked off this computer in a few.

I am glad theres an option to have the adult ones 'on' or 'off'. And the tagging thing, too. But yeah, I'm not looking for anything like that. Something mild and not anything super violent since that stuff can fry my brain sometimes since the posts could be rather large and full of that stuff. X___x My brain sucks when it gets over-loaded. xD

I'm not sure but are we able to do one-on-one rps, cause everything I see is games, which make me thing group rping, which I don't do. So I was wondering, cause lately I've wanted slightly more mature rps, and this mentions that there is a spot more that here, so yeah. I'm confused.

Edit- Oh I see it, never mind. Yet what is all this game stuff?

I registered. Not a lot going on there yet, I'm editing my user profile, but I would love to role play there. Don't worry, I don't really like getting to awfully graphic with what I'd role play anyway, but yeah, it looks like once it is up and running, it would be fun to rp there.

I don't need an adult roleplay section. I'm not one of those yuri/yaoi roleplayers, and anything that might be played into that would--as I assume--always be taken to a private provider like an IM service not associated with the forum.

I'm cool with the forum, but then again, I'm just a casual roleplayer.

How do you mean, "game stuff", Rei Ann:? I'd be happy to explain. :3

Yeah, there's not much there yet, Hannibal Niccals:, but there are people looking for games already. :) Or you can post what you're looking for! If people keep waiting for other people to make the first move, there's going to be an awful lot of waiting around. ;)

jupiter: No worries! If you're not interested in using the adult section, it's fully ignorable. :) My friend and I role-play some adult themes, but we're not interested in taking our game to the site because it's faster to play over IM as we usually do. We're just going to bring new games to the site. ;)

Have you had a look at the features of WTF? :)

All of it, because a game is a game like Final Fantasy, Or Wipeout. Rping is not a game[in my eyes] So, I'm confused by all the game termage.

Am situated there now....hmm, looking forward to that locations guide. T'was one of the few things I couldn't figure out to add as I was monkeying around with things.

Hope to have something up for folks to play with in the next few days.
