What does FWRP mean in FORUMS

Forum Wide Role Plays (FWRP) are role-playing simulations which involve multiple users from a forum. They occur in groups and each user takes on a specific role and attempts to progress the story or characters within it.

Joining an FWRP can be done by searching for one or by responding to a recruitment post. It is important to read the rules associated with each individual game before joining.

Once you have joined an FWRP, you will be added to the game's chatroom where you can communicate with other participants via text or voice chat. From there it is up to each individual participant's creativity and imagination to progress the storyline as per their respective character/s role in it.

The length of an FWRP generally depends on how active its participants are and how much effort they put into progressing the plotline. Generally, most FWRP's run for several months or even years!

In most instances, any role which has potential use within the chosen setting is permissible - this may range from being an everyday civilian right through to mythical creatures or super-powered beings!
