It takes a village to launch a platform off the ground, and it takes funds to purchase the features needed to turn Rolescape into a reality for the roleplaying community! Every donation will be used for the development of Rolescape to add new features and make the platform the best experience possible for you. We continue to track every receipt and purchase, and we will be as transparent with donors and communicate regularly. When it is officially released, Rolescape will be a free platform to use. However, if you feel so inclined to support the Rolescape team financially, please check out the links on our blog for our Ko-fi, PayPal, and Patreon accounts! 

Absolutely! A media library with this concept will be a feature, and you can read more about it here and more about Rolescape's design in this tag.

There will also be a search feature called “Match Me.” A completely optional feature of the site where you can input your favorite movies, shows, books ect and find other people on the site who like the same things. It’s basically a way to find people who share the same interests as yourself and know instantly that you two have something in common to talk about. We hope that features like these can help shy & selective members to find their troop!

We very much appreciate all the kind words! We cannot wait to have you join in the future! But to answer your question... Yes! Absolutely. Privacy is a big thing we have thought about and there will be tons of options for your privacy on your account. Rolescape will have options to make mutual-only accounts and post-by-post choices. Think about how Facebook posts work; you have the choice for only me, limited friends, friends only, and public views on posts. We are striving for a similar posting system.

Hey, thanks for the idea! Right now, Rolescape allows users to fully block other users—those users will not show up anywhere on the site, and it will be as if neither of you exist to one another. In addition, we will allow reports and investigate all of them to ensure the comfort and safety of everyone roleplaying and interacting on Rolescape. You can also make posts viewable to friends only, and make your profile private. We hope this is sufficient enough as we had heard something along the lines of this before and the community brought up the concern of issues arising when more than one person shares an IP address, as well as the fact that there is the possibility of spoofing IP addresses. If you have any feedback on that, we’re always open to hearing it! There are a thousand ways to achieve the same end goal, we just have to figure out which way is the best.

Once we’re comfortable with that, the server load, modding etc, we will allow the beta testers to invite others so we can figure out where any faults or breaking points are before it goes public. We thank you so much for your patience and cannot wait to have you on Rolescape!

We are still working on the FAQ, and thank you so much for your interest in reading it! Since the team is composed of volunteers, we are working on it whenever we have a spare moment, and we hope to have it up as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience!

2) Rolescape is not pay to play, and everyone will be able to participate for free.

Hi anon, thanks for reaching out. Sorry for the late response, I've been busy with the holidays. I can assure you we don’t have any intentions of covering things up. Some earlier asks were deleted in an attempt to clean up the blog and to keep the focus on Rolescape, as well as to avoid future misunderstandings/confusion. We are still working on a Q&A to help with this as well. However, with regards to the badges, for now that feature has been put on the back burner as my main focus is currently on building the site as a whole.

Hi anon! Thanks for the question. For the first round of alpha testers, we opened up alpha testing to members of the Rolescape team, which is why it was a little less noticeable and why there was no official server-wide announcement. We are still hammering out the details on how we want the process to go, but we will be opening up alpha testing to the entire server for the next batch, as long as they're above the age of 18 and can devote the time necessary. Stay tuned to the server for more updates, and thank you so much for your interest!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your interest in suggesting feedback! We appreciate it. For now, we would prefer either a DM via Tumblr here, or you're welcome to message the Rolescape account on Discord (it's rolescape#8905).

Release has been pushed back a bit while we work on security. The Log4j vulnerability was released and Judah is currently doing mitigation. Releasing a safe, secure site is one of our top priorities, as is making Rolescape the best it can be. The good news is, we're moving closer to our goal every day! Alpha testing is still very much under way and we'll need more testers in the future, so stay tuned to the Discord (link in source) for updates!

Thank you so much! This is so sweet and wonderful to read. We hope you've had a wonderful holiday season as well! <3

I'm so sorry that it's causing you anxiety. From what we found there is a reduced motion setting you can turn on here. Hope that helps!

Absolutely! Rolescape will offer different account types, including but not limited to multimuse, character, cosplayer, and more! There will be an option to make a creator profile on Rolescape, which will allow you to upload themes, graphics, icons, and whatever creative masterpieces you can concoct! Here's a link to the portfolio feature that will be available to creator profiles.

That's definitely in the works! A lot of languages will be automatically translated with the site's built in capabilities. The rest will be translated with help from the community. We want to account for different dialects and different word meanings dependent on context. We also want to make sure we get feedback from the community because language is always evolving. It will be an ongoing process, but it's definitely a goal of ours. If translation is something you feel you could help with, please feel free to contact us!

That's my mistake. Sometimes I don't realize my tone changes when I am typing, but yes, I was mostly frustrated having to repeat myself or people getting angry with me over things that are already an option.
