I like the idea of an RP sub-forum. And I agree that, while the purpose of this forum is to share information about Japan, that's not entirely what goes on around here. Moreover, if the majority of RPs end up being Manga/Anime based (which is common), that still has to do with Japan, so really it all fits in quite nicely
.
I'm quite into RP myself, though I've not made any attempts at joining the RP's here. Mostly because I can't stand to RP with people who are unaware of the existence of the comma and period keys on their keyboards... Also not helpful is that, like others who've posted in this thread, I prefer the page-long posts to the five word posts so common here.
