Title: How Many Do You Play?

How many games are you active in right now? How many characters do you play, total? Do you like where you're at or would you like less or more?

One, five, and I'm happy where I'm at. If I ever get the time I'd like to RP at a western/American historical RPG and a good fairytale site, but for now, my site is all I want or need.

I am currently active in three roleplays, all of which are different genres (hence why I have three as opposed to just the one-- I try not to overextend myself too much, but I'm interested in writing a coule different things.).

Character wise I have....
Four on one site, one on another, and soon to be two on the third.

And no, I don't think it is too much SO LONG AS I don't have them all in threads at the same time which I have stupidly done before. -head smack- When I spread out the threads they are in, though, and they are interesting threads I have no problem whatsoever. : ) So I guess I'd say I love the balance I have right now because it gives me the opportunity to play all sorts of different people and test out characters I may later use for my own personal writing as well as have loads of fun. There are just certain things a genuinely nice character can't do that a person who only cares about themself can, for instance. : D

I'm at four roleplays, with 5 characters. It's a decent amount for me to cope with.

2 games, 5 characters. It's fine, really, because the first site with 3 chars is not very fast, so I'm never stresseing over posts, especially because I have a LOT of time now (12 active threads on there alone). But, as soon as school starts I'll have to limit myself somehow.

On the other site I have two chars and one of them is more of a frequent NPC in my opinion. He has no plot, and I won't be setting him one. If another character wants him for anything, then I'll do it, but no character arc. the other character is swamped in plots, anyway.

Twenty.

But not all at the same time. I have weeks where I'll only play one.

Two games, fourty characters (soon to be fourty-one).

It sounds like a lot of characters to manage, but it's not like I post every single one every single day. xD And all of the threads I'm in move at different paces (and some of the threads have two or three of my characters in them and, as I post them all in one post, that cuts down my load a lot). Typically, I only average about three posts a day.

Because of the way my characters are spread out among different players with different posting speeds, I'm able to keep up easily...which is why I'm allowing myself to indulge in yet another character. :B

And yup, I'm having a blast on the games I'm in. xD

Catastrophe86 - August 9, 2008 12:35 AM (GMT)
I have one game, and five characters, which I suspect will be a little bit too much for me once school starts again, but I couldn't ditch a single one of them. Well, I could, but I really don't want to.

Squirrelsy - August 9, 2008 12:43 AM (GMT)
I only play on one forum currently.. And.. I have 8 characters. -Cough.-

I plan on killing off at least one in the future when needed though! ... Seriously! D:

XZol - August 9, 2008 12:46 AM (GMT)
Currently I'm playing in 3 forums with six characters, though in a couple of weeks I'll probably be down to two forums and five characters.

Vildea - August 9, 2008 12:48 AM (GMT)
Currently I'm playing two characters on one forum :) I could easily manage more, so I might add another character to the forum or go snooping for another place to play at, haven't decided yet. I'm taking it slow though, I don't want to end up having too little time when school starts or something.

Jae - August 9, 2008 12:54 AM (GMT)
I play at two RPGs, and I'm helping to make another one. I play one character at the first and too many to count off the top of my head at the other. It's fine with me and I could probably manage a few more at a slower pace. Just don't expect me to write 700-word posts -- maybe 400 words at the most. I'm not into two-page posts anymore. xD

Keijukainen - August 9, 2008 01:55 AM (GMT)
At the moment, I'm on three RPs with ten characters spread out across them. Those are just the regular characters, though. I have a lot more that are filler NPCs. It's just enough to keep me from getting bored.

missmossxx - August 9, 2008 02:03 AM (GMT)
Five roleplays, and nine characters. I can't keep up..

I have a major plot on one site, so I have two plot threads on there, and then one just to show my other character isn't dying.

I have two threads on another site although they seem to have died.

Another site is my own, and I'm trying to be welcoming to new members by threading with them if they ask, but that means that I'm now in seven threads there, which is bad.. very, very bad.. So I may have to stop all the welcome threading xD

And then I'm in one more thread on the last site.

I need to finish them. Quickly. And then.. take a breather xD

*lists cos she's too tired to actually think*

AG
HW
CSH
CBS
FHoH
NGA

that's six. more than I thought lol. :) Anyway, I have 1 on AG, 2 on HW, 2 on CSH, 1 on CBS, 3 on FHoH, and 3 on NGA.

It used to be where I was on 1 RP and had like 15 characters. I don't do that anymore. I like being able to have enough muse to post on other sites. So this works for me.

So:

6 RPs
12 Characters total. :)

lilypodXkisses - August 9, 2008 02:47 AM (GMT)
5 forums and about 10 characters...and I love most of the forums one of my character is finally getting more active and seems like a lot but I think I can manage it unlike my sister who has 3 forums and 27 characters ^_^

summerdanez - August 9, 2008 06:43 AM (GMT)
Oh jeeze. Umm...let's see.

The rpg I own I have - 4 characters. Two that are accepted and alive. One that is dead and used for back posting. One that is being worked on.

The rpg in progress I have 5 characters. Already, I've had to hold myself back from joining a 6th one.

So in all, I have 9 charries on two sites. Not bad.

Mac-a-roni - August 9, 2008 06:53 AM (GMT)
One forum as of now, still looking into another place for me to call home.

As of now, I have three characters on that forum, with three still in production and two sitting on the sidelines ready to be picked up when I have the time/inclination.

=D

Atricea - August 9, 2008 06:56 AM (GMT)
I'm part of 3 forums currently... very active on my own, a bit also on the latest I joined and sadly not so much on the one I've been on the longest, although I want to be active there again...

I have 8 characters on my own forum, one on the other and two on the third - so that's enough for me right now ;)

Panda - August 9, 2008 10:11 AM (GMT)
Ooh.

Three games.

7 characters. It will probably become 8 characters on 4 games soon as I have a character BURSTING to get out of my head. Unfortunately last time I did that I had to bow out--can't handle that many games, it seems.

Out of them all, asmm is the most active--I aim for a post somewhere there once a day, which to me is active but I'm a little old lady and need to pace myself!

The other two are much much slower. One has always been that way, the other recently got that way. The game that would suit this itchy new character I have rattling around is also for a slow board.

stormyhearted - August 10, 2008 01:35 PM (GMT)
This makes me feel much better about my own numbers :sweat: At the site I'm building (which is a multi-game site) I have two characters in one game, four in another, and three in the third; I also have one character at a game I don't run, which brings me up to 10 characters at 4 games. And I'm looking at adding at least one more site. :lol:

Angel-girl - August 10, 2008 01:42 PM (GMT)
Just one forum right now, my own, though I have looked for others in the past. I just hate post minimums, and lots of them die.

I have seven on mine, though I think one of them might get cut here real soon.

origer - August 11, 2008 08:45 AM (GMT)
Oh God, a while back i had an addiction with RP's and i swear i was in twenty rps at once. Very overwhelming. I gave up roleplaying after a couple months i decided to get back into it. But this time i was really careful not to join so many. For a while i was just in one, a meerkat rpg i created but now i'd say I'm in... Five-ish or so. Something like that and there all different rpgs. Lion King, Mermaid, Strays, etc. I'm generally active on them all and i try to set good examples and exel at roleplaying. I just love rpgs.

Famous For Nothing - August 11, 2008 12:04 PM (GMT)
Right now i am on wo-hree RPs a once.One of wich i own,and the toerh two i help out my friends on.I did the same thing with have twentykagillion RPs,and i also quit,then also rejoined being more carefull xD!

comte - August 11, 2008 04:08 PM (GMT)
I'm on 7 sites and last count had 50+ characters. It's exhausting but fun!!!!

Metallicar - August 12, 2008 09:40 AM (GMT)
ONE RPG. that I have 5 charries and 13 threads on and I admin that site. yeah... I think that's enough.
But I admin other sites. SO. that's the only drawback, I don't really have time to join others -_- unless they really blow me out of the water.
