In Furcadia, we make a distinction between two kinds of Let's Pretend. The most popular and common one is "Freeform"; we call it "Persona Play" because all it requires is taking the very first step towards roleplay: choosing to play a Persona. The other is Roleplay (with a capital R to indicate it's a little different than the casual definition of `roleplaying'). 

Persona Play
     For Persona Play, we recommend the Village of Meovanni. For Persona Play without OOC interruptions, we recommend the Village of Goldwyn (in Imaginarium). If you haven't officially agreed to any kind of limit to your character's power or background, then what you're doing is Persona Playing. It doesn't mean that you can't have a very coherent adventure, or that you have no background or that what you're doing is in any way inferior to any other form of roleplay. It simply means that the standard is (of necessity) relaxed.

    Persona Play is Furcadia's default and it has one main rule, called the Consent Rule. Very simply: If somebody poses or says something that implies your cooperation, you can act like it didn't happen.

    It's not just rude, it's also pointless and ignorant to call anybody a "twink" or "powergamer" in Freeform Persona Play. If you want to maintain higher standards, you need to be in a controlled environment, for example, your own Dream or a Dream controlled by a Guild.

Roleplay

    We reserve the word Roleplaying (note that it's capitalized) to mean playing in a well-defined world ("Continuity"). It's unlikely that you'll find "serendipitous" (spontaneous, instant) Roleplaying. RP takes alot of absorption of source material, familiarity with conventions of play. RP is quite fragile; it's heavily disrupted by mentioning OOC things. Because of this need for more control, there's alot of Roleplaying in Furcadia, but it tends to take place in private areas, and, at this time, Furcadia's Staff has no time to monitor or regulate it. Nor do we wish to.

    The extra work involved in Roleplaying pays off in that you tend to get a more interesting experience, and it makes possible the use of character sheets, rules, and dice, all of which are optional on Furcadia. If you're looking for RP, we recommend taking the effort to find and join an RP Guild.
