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).
