97 Roleplay Plot Ideas For Your Next RP

Before you can roleplay, you gotta know a place!

Roleplaying is a fun way to explore worlds that you just can’t find in real life! I mean, where else can you experience the pirate’s life, or break out of an intergalactic prison? There’s countless places you can roleplay, from a tabletop to a desktop. If you’re new to roleplaying, get ready to explore some great places, and meet new friends!

Let’s Talk About Staying Safe Online

The most popular place to roleplay is online. Let’s face it: you’d rather play an epic warrior from the comfort of your bedroom than in your local park. The internet is just as dangerous as it is awesome, though. It’s the wild west. Remember: anyone can use the internet. That means predators, bullies, or even just bad friends, too. The elf you’re chatting with might actually be a creepy old guy! Or, maybe just someone that will make you uncomfortable or hurt your feelings. I’m sure you’ve heard this whole spiel before, but listen. If a creep makes you uncomfortable or asks for anything inappropriate, block and report them. Tell a safe adult about what happened. Then, submit a tip at https://report.cybertip.org/ . You won’t get in trouble. Plus, you could help prevent the person from being a creep to anyone else later.

Another thing! Don’t let trolls get you down. Plus, don’t let the fear of mean people prevent you from doing something you love! Mean people and trolls are everywhere. No matter what, there will be someone that will troll you. Might as well do what you love,then, right?! So, with all that safety stuff out of the way, let’s move on to the fun part!
