Come! Tell a story, or two…. or many with us!
Who are we?
The Storytellers make up a community focused on keeping the early 2000's vibe of forum/group play by post style of roleplaying alive and thriving.
Our roots take us all the way back to 2004, when we started out as a roleplay guild on a website nicknamed AL. IYKYK. We spent over a decade there creating, building, and roleplaying together & with the greater community. Back in June 18 2017 we made the big move to discord, and with it, took on a new name.
Our history is steeped in forum roleplay, where each forum thread was its own stand alone story. Some were self contained whole worlds, while others followed the narrative of a single locations, or plot. You were never sure what you were gonna find until you explored. But you always knew it would be something great! With so many types of stories, our creativity was always expanding, and our skills constantly growing. The best part! This was achieved by a community of people, who returned consistently for years. Weaving together beautiful stories, finding flow, and life long friendships along the way.
We want to help ensure that this style of community and group roleplay stays alive.
How do we do this? What do we offer?
we're a 18+ SFW space. (many in our community are in their 30/s)
No vetting - Our forums play host to Casual - Novella style rp. Where the host decides the rules and standards.
Our "Here to roleplay" system walks new members through a handful of steps so they can get set up with a roleplay, and learn how to roleplay in this style.
Our "noooodles" system ensures roleplays' get their needs filled.
We celebrate, teach, and nurture public collaborative writing here. Meaning we focus on group roleplays.
As a community we vote and collaborate on all new roleplays we do both in house and on our sister server (The Directory).
We strive to teach people the various skills that make this style of roleplay enjoyable. From ways to structure, and format the start of a roleplay. How to keep track of so many players. And how to bring in new players, and write characters who have left.
