About
Before the search engines started telling us what we should be looking at, we used to use webrings to navigate
the web. A group of sites with a common interest, connected together by a common thread that you could follow.
That's what the RP Forum webring is. A voluntary alliance of text-based roleplay games which take place on
forums, each game's site linking to the websites on either side of it in the closed chain. Click through enough
sites, and you'll end up right back here where you began.
This is a hobby project, curated by a single roleplay enthusiast aided by the community. If you stumble upon a
broken link or site that's not following the webring's rules; let me know!
Rules
This webring is for all text-based roleplays taking place on forums. It doesn't matter what host you

qualify for membership.
