#rolescape

If Tumblr actually shuts down, I’m gonna be real sad

The only other place that seems to be doing the same kind of RP things that you could do on Tumblr would be Rolescape, and I don’t even think that’s even publicly out yet

[mermaus]

Also quick question since I've seen the name thrown around, when was rolescape announced? And how long has it been in development?

I know tumblr is a sinking ship but if you're relying on some alternative that is never going to come you're better off just having discord as the main alternative.

I know it's not ideal but considering i've barely ever heard of rolescape until now doesn't make my hopes very high for it.

Me: Not really feeling that motivated, but I might peck at something here... Tumblr: yoU hAvE To ManUAlly TRacK AlL YOur ThReAds nOw gLhF Me: Oh. Great. Sure is a shame Rolescape seems to have died.

[lawain-dimensional-heroes]

Y’know, the fact I haven’t quitted tumblr is either a miracle, cause the new beta editor, lack of my old followers and fandoms I am really interested in aren’t there anymore made me not be all too interested here from time to time and the pornbots aren’t helping either, or I’m just way too stubborn to quit tumblr.

Either way, are there any updates about Rolescape as of recently?

[antonblastdeluxe]

fuckkkkkkk does anyone have any good alternates for tumblr rp (formatting, text posts, reblogging, sending asks)? I know cohost is like, the closest thing that's probable but rolescape is still in alpha after all of this time :/

Whatever happened to Rolescape? People were talking about it like it was the next big thing, but now, it's been dead silent.

Everyone out there looking forward to Rolescape, a lot of you have my concerned about its longevity already and it hasn't even gone into testing. So, let's talk about something in brief.

The right way to think about this:

Rolescape has a numerous promising features in the works that will allow you to better cultivate your space. You'll be able to better insulate yourself from drama and muns you need to avoid, have a great deal of privacy, and be better able to deal with problems in a meaningful way.

The wrong way to think about this:

Rolescape is a fix for all of the RPC's problems, I cannot wait to be away from all this drama and negativity.

The right way still keeps the responsibility on you, on everyone in the RPC, to not create, foster, or refuse to stay away from problems. It acknowledges the reality that two of the most awful RPCs to ever exist are the target user base for RS - tumblr and twitter. And it expects only what RS's responsibilities should be (coincidentally, what other platforms should have been as well, but we wouldn't be having this conversation if they didn't abysmally fail there) - providing functioning ways of blocking, filtering, and otherwise cultivating one's space. The behavior is up to you.

The wrong way poses RS as an unrealistically utopian place no matter its user base. These are not alright expectations from any platform, places are going to be what you make of them. The same muns are going to be there, the same problems will come with them. It's great that you're excited to have a fresh start with promising features that allow greater comfort and cultivation, but these expectations I see many of you expressing are only going to result in you putting the blame on RS when you run into the handful of muns you have issues with or discover that purity culture and callouts are everywhere.

Let me repeat: It's great that you're excited to have a fresh start with promising features that allow greater comfort and cultivation.

But I'm excited for RS as well, and I'd really rather not have it bottom-out before it really gets rolling when too many muns rage quit because a new, improved platform did not fix every issue they had with the community itself.

Please:

be excited

support RS with reblogs, donations, giving feedback, and/or joining the team

tell your mutuals about RS and why you're excited for it

join the discord server if you're into that

stay realistic that the site will be in testing when you get to join, there will be bugs and things both added and removed, that's what happens during testing phases

stay realistic that the same blogs and RPC issues will only be moving over to a new location, not ceasing to exist

appreciate that you'll be able to control this environment a thousand times better to stay away from all that, know that you will need to do that

I cannot say enough how relieving it is that Rolescape is happening, it has so many great things that can improve the experience. Every day, at some point, I think, "I wish Rolescape existed right now." But it will not fix the problems in the RPC simply by existing. Do not set yourselves up to be disappointed and angry, and in doing so, set up RS to fail. This is the single most promising RP platform I have seen in all two decades of RPing online, please don't do that.

Ok so, tumblr has apparently started up its old bullshit with randomly deleting blogs. Just know that I have no intentions of deleting this one, so if y’all notice that it is one day, it wasn’t voluntary and I will remake.

This goes for all my other DB blogs as well but I’m too lazy to log into them atm and reblog this post.

[ambrostikal]

Since I’ve been seeing it go around, I just want to state that I have zero intentions of deactivating this blog! If you see it suddenly is one day, tumblr’s stupidity got to it, and I definitely will remake asap.

//anyone else wish they could just select ‘ascending’ or ‘descending’ for drafts? No? Just me?

[strykingback]

Porn Bots can you FUCK OFF!!!

[lawain-dimensional-heroes]

I do hope Rolescape will be done by the time tumblr gets thanos snapped off of the internet. I'll make sure to move my stuff there for sure.

[antonblastdeluxe]

Objectively I still won’t leave this site but yeah that adblock on desktop is now staying on forever now.

[potestmagice]

Whatever happened to that Rolescape people were making?
