I'd be down to give it a try and see how it goes. I've played D&D before (currently DM), so the idea of roleplaying isn't something new to me.
Also, I think it should be on an IRC channel or a discord server rather than on the thread itself. More of a personal preference, though.

lol, any roleplay im in turns very chaotic pretty quickly. I also agree with fyren, it should be on discord or irc.

It would also probably be a good idea to have a set time for RP sessions so as many people as possible can be there. Again, another personal preference, but from past experience it works out better than having unplanned RP sessions.

Yeah. I don’t have Discord and I’m not allowed it. I currently am doing a long-term roleplay with a group on PicCollage and it is going well, so that’s a possibility too (my IRC sometimes cooperates, sometimes doesn’t)

As a veteran of forum-based roleplays, I would argue that something like that would actually function a lot more smoothly than you'd think. It really just depends on the direction you want to take, though - if someone is asking as a "dungeon master" or a storyteller so to speak it would make more sense to have a real time session where characters can react quickly to what's happening. If you kind of just want to mess around in a random setting, then a forum works fine because that doesn't really rely on super fast actions. With a forum I find it often works fine for people to post when they can - it's less structured and more open to people with busy schedules (though i suppose none of us are busy right now). However, an IRC-based roleplay could be interesting if you want to do something very in-depth and complex.

TL;DR: Weigh the pros and cons of what you want to do, and just do what works for you. I'm sure it'll be fun no matter which option you choose, but those are my 2 cents :-)

Should I start a poll on interest for a RP and what platform people prefer?

So I stumbled on this again today, and I think maybe we could make a channel for RPing on the Scioly.org Discord? I know raytay can't have it (rip), but as far as I know, everyone else has it and it probably wouldn't take too long to get the word out to those interested.
