TSP RP Masterpost

How to start

Blogs: Whether you have a side blog or a main blog is up to you. You can’t send asks or follow from side blogs, but it’s easier when you don’t need to log in and out between blogs, especially when you have multiple ones. 

Choosing your name: You can choose employee-[insert number here] (ie employee-428) if you have an employee oc, the-[unique trait or name]-parable (ie the-confusion-parable, the-mariella-parable), using a quote (ie: get-out-of-the-broom-closet) or anything related to the game. Obviously you don’t need to reference TSP, but it can help people find you easier. 

Here’s a list of tsp related urls you can use!

Interaction: Don’t be afraid to introduce yourself with a post or to follow people you are interested in. Just make sure to read the rules of a blog first before you follow or interact. The best way to break the ice is with an ask meme sent in!

Sometimes blogs will post starter calls, where you only need to like the post for them to write you a brand new starter for your muses to interact.

Or you can reblog this post to let people know you are a tsp roleplayer!

Etiquette

Standard roleplay etiquette applies to roleplaying. Such as

no god modding (controlling other people’s characters without permission)

ask before you hurt someone’s character 

read everyone’s rules before you interact

tag triggers (common triggers are nsfw, heavy topics, flashing gifs, gore and blood)

chemistry vs no chemistry. some people prefer pre-established relationships, some people prefer relationships between muses to happen naturally

reblog karma (not everyone practices this. reblog karma is when you reblog a meme from someone, you are expected to send one in as well)

cut your posts if they get too long (xkit has an editable reblog feature)

don’t start drama (instead of call out posts, try talking to the person first)

mutuals only (these blogs only roleplay if you follow them and they follow you. please respect them if they have this in their rules)

private / selective (these people only roleplay with blogs they feel are a good fit to them)

Reoccurring Headcanons

Of course your blog is your business, and how you worldbuild as well. But here are some common headcanons previous tsp blogs have utilized:

Muses can travel to other dimensions accidently or purposefully through doors. 

Offices are connected through portals that appear as normal doors, letting Stanleys, employees and Narrators meet their alternates or visit other Offices.

Restarts can heal injuries and happen automatically when you die. Most people remember restarts.

The Narrator has a control room he uses to restart the Story, read his script and watch Stanley. Sometimes that room can be found by muses.

Some muses were trapped in the Office once the Parable started and can’t find their way out. 

People don’t age or age very slowly in the Office (often a side effect of restarts)

Offices can be sentient beings who will work with or against the Narrator

Some Stanleys are mute and use sign language or notes to communicate

Worldbuilding

Every Office is unique! While there are reoccurring themes in the TSP RP community, feel free to make your own rules.

Do muses remember what happens after restarts?

Are they aware of alternate versions of themselves?

Can your Stanley speak?

What relationship do your muses have with Narrators, Stanleys, or Curators?

Is your Narrator violent and cruel, just as trapped as Stanley, or do they mean well?

Do you have a Curator? A Mariella or a Line?

Does your employee oc know what happened? Do they know Stanley? Did they notice people disappearing or were they also trapped in the Parable?

Does the Narrator have any powers outside from admin privileges?

Is there a higher power that controls the Narrator?

Most importantly, have fun with it. No one will judge you based on how “unique” or “basic” your designs are. We’ve all been the new person in the group and we all know how anxious newcomers can be.
