Welcome to Text Adventures! This page is for advertising text-based role-playing games. They can best be described as collaborative stories, where each player controls specific characters within the story. (See Role Playing for Dummies for more information on what exactly role-playing is.)

If you have created a new Role-play, just add a link to it in the comments below Tell us a little bit about it, too.
If you have not found the desired amount of players before your role-play has been bumped into the older comments, feel free to re-advertise.
Please do not clutter the comments with chatter. We do not want role-plays to be prematurely bumped off the page. Excessive chit chat will be deleted.

If you have a text game that is based on an idea other than role-playing, please add it to Games instead.

2012-09-07 [Mortified Penguin]: *Mort's goat slowly floats down a river*

REGINALD!! *sobs*

2012-09-07 [Evolution X]: that's what you get for improper goat float maintenance. Should have had an anchor.

2012-09-07 [M!]: Damnit, now I'm tempted to clean this page up. GAH! Not that it would matter. I've never seen a successful attempt to get all ET's rpers together and organized in any sort of fashion ever. It is sad.

2012-09-07 [Avaz]: We are a fickle bunch.

2012-09-09 [SilverFire]: Way back when text adventures was still just text it actually did work. There were so many active rps listed that the problem was more 'argh! Do many rps I want to join, cannot possibly commit to them all ;_;' than 'argh. Cannot find an rp to join!'

I've never been able to figure out why the hell et's rp community just... Suddenly stopped using it. X_x and then they complain there is no index page and go and make their own an only advertise it in their diary and house and wonder why it fails.

2012-09-09 [SilverFire]: Maybe just having it as a comments page will work better - It gives an idea of how old the RP is and there's very little need for moderation. No one has to keep deleting old/dead rps or moving them to a different section.

2012-09-09 [M!]: The only problem with that would be rps that are continuously looking for rpers, like that x-men one up there. I would be willing to help with a revamp/adverts/graphics whatever if you'd like to get this place back up and running. 

2012-09-09 [SilverFire]: We can have a rule that allows people to post another comment if their old comment has been bumped off the page and they're still recruiting. Internet is supposed to be installed in my house on the 11th, so I'll take a look at the page then or soon after. There's only so much you can do with ET on a phone <_<

2012-09-09 [Lord Josmar]: I hear that.

2012-09-09 [M!]: Sounds good. Do you think the crew would be up for an announcement or a main street advertisement?

2012-09-09 [SilverFire]: Haven't had a new news item in a shamefully long time, so sure.

2012-09-09 [M!]: Would you like me to clean this page out and post the new rules limiting things to the comments?

2012-09-10 [SilverFire]: Yarr. Though I think the list of guides and help pages should probably stay.

2012-09-10 [M!]: Does anyone use the games pages? Should I keep the link?

2012-09-10 [Flisky]: I've been trying to revamp CURE for awhile. Just haven't had the time.

2012-09-10 [M!]: Does anyone use the games pages? Should I keep the link?

2012-09-11 [SilverFire]: I don't know how active the games page is, it's not one I've ever really kept an eye on, but I don't think keeping the link will hurt.

I made the top text a little more concise, removed two of the help links (one didn't seem active, the other didn't seem to say anything the other pages didn't already say in a better way), and rearranged them slightly to make them a little bit more readable.

2012-09-18 [His Angel]: If the help page you're refering to was the school for beginning roleplayers (I believe that was posted up there), no, it's not active. People say they're interested but never actually do anything about it. :(

2013-05-16 [CuteCommander]: Any possibility I can post my new RP here?

2013-05-16 [M!]: Just link it in the comments

2013-05-16 [CuteCommander]: H'okay - sci-fi RP Aboard The Argo :D
