Can someone explain to me what exactly is going on in this forum? lol I just don't understand it!!! Is this RPG in the sense of online games or games in general, or are you making up threads and pretending that the thread is the medium to act through an RPG? I am so lost!

Each thread here is a rolyplaying game or a thread connected with a RPG. Those who start the thread usually gives a short description of what game they are going to play: a quest for this or that item, a fight with evil or something of that nature. Then other players can join with a character of their own. Post by post they write the story of how their characters interact and how the story progresses. Sometimes the threadstarter steers the game from time to time in the direction he wants it to take or sometimes the game is left to take whatever course it will. Since this is a messageboard, playing goes slower than -I suspect- in online RPG's, because you have to wait for others to post and sometimes there can be days between posts.

I hope this answers your question.

And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.
