Frequently Asked Questions
What is play-by-post roleplay?
Play-by-post (PBP) is collaborative storytelling where writers take turns posting as their characters. Unlike real-time roleplay, PBP is asynchronous - you post when you have time, and your partners respond when they can. This allows for more detailed writing and works around busy schedules.
How is WorldForger better than Discord for PBP?
Discord is built for real-time chat, so content scrolls away and gets buried. WorldForger keeps threads organized permanently, supports long-form posts with rich formatting, and lets new members easily browse your community's history. You get the best of forums with modern features.
Can I track multiple ongoing threads per character?
Yes! Characters can participate in multiple threads simultaneously. You can view all active threads for any character, track posting order, and manage complex storylines with timeline tools.
Is there a way to notify partners when I post?
Yes. Members can subscribe to threads and receive notifications when new posts are added. You can also tag specific users in posts to ensure they see your response.
