Is erpg/ERPG just "electronic role-playing game" or does it have some sexier meaning?

I tried searching, but came up dry.

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, it's just short for erotic role-playing.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey, however you get good at smutty writing, more power to you!

I cringe to think of the cybersex I had back in the day. Plenty of practice, not sure I ever got any better.

[(Anonymous)]

I never really thought of it as cybersex. There was always a plot involved, characters who were not me at all, and generally a distance that cybersex lacked.

🤔 But that may just be a matter of semantics.

[(Anonymous)]

How do you get into that kind of thing, anyway

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Curiosity and an early, Wild West-like internet. There were several sites dedicated to chat-based and forum-based erpgs back in the day. A lot of them fell to the wayside as the web became increasingly commercialized, but some sites still exist.

[(Anonymous)]

I'd say seconding the anon above me, but then I remember there was a meme journal I used to visit that would have little bouts of ERP.

A complete erpg -- could you explain it a bit more? I'm curious ! (And do these things tend to be flisted/locked?)?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

There were sites dedicated to erpgs back in the day, and some still remain. You just needed to know where to find them, and nowadays that's a lot harder thanks to the sanitizing of the web.

In my experience, the styles of erpgs ranged a lot. Some were just straight-up cybersex in chatrooms, which were wildly uninteresting to me because hey, it's text-based, why can't my character wear a robe and wizard hat and have scales? Others were forum-based open threads that anyone can join, and a lot of them were unregulated and fell apart pretty quickly. Others were D&D-like in that there might be a DM with a dice script for the consequences of whatever choice the player(s) made - this is pretty interesting and not done nearly enough. Others still were round robins with agreed-upon plots and character arcs arranged beforehand.

Storylines ranged just as much. I'd played everything from sci-fi multiplayer threads in forums to supernatural horror in chatrooms to fantasy over e-mail. Some were short-term, others were longer. A lot depended on how much you and your partner(s) wanted out of the rp.

Honestly, it was just like any sort of rp, just with higher chances of naughty times and/or darker themes (depending, of course, on what the players wanted out of it).

Thanks for making this! Great image choice 🙂

[(Anonymous)]

Same, honestly. Sometimes I miss it, but I spent more time looking for people who could write decently and had similar tastes than actually rping. I don't have the time for that any more.
