There's a post going around about how text-based, freeform roleplay is dead, and I was typing up a huge response to this, with an accompanying guide on how to find roleplayer in 2024, when I realized it might have a bigger reach if I made it its own post. So here's that guide.

I hesitate to say that there isn't a problem with the new format of social media making roleplay more difficult to find, but in the desire to make that point, the OP of the original post has left people with the idea that there's no way for them to get into freeform text roleplay in 2024. Which just isn't true! Here, look at all the ways.

Forums

The link to RPG-Directory to find roleplaying forums is a good start. Once you've found a forum RPG, even if you don't join, there's usually an 'advertising' section on that forum where other forum RPGs post their ads - this may help you to find forums that don't advertise on RPG-D.

Another really good forum to find roleplay on is Barbermonger. Barbermonger is focused on connecting people for one-on-one roleplays.

This last one's going to be weird, but it turns out that there are still people seeking roleplay on the Gaia Online forums after all these years. I think this is delightfully retro and then crowd there seems a little older than average. No pre-existing knowledge of Gaia required.

Tumblr

You can also find forum roleplay groups (as well as tumblr and Discord groups) right here on Tumblr. Usually, the thing to do is to use the search function - search for "[genre] rp" or "[fandom] rp" and sort by "latest." (If you sort by Top, you are likely to find dead RPs.) For example, here's fantasy rp, historical rp, and marvel rp. You can also try jcink rp, as most roleplay forums are hosted on Jcink these days, or discord rp, depending on your favored platform.

There are also tumblr blogs specifically dedicated to advertising roleplays. I'm not super familiar with these nowadays, but just in the process of searching those tags above, I found these:

Jcink Tinder

RPG Adverts

RPings

There are more, I just don't know them off the top of my head.

Reddit

Listen, don't run away, I swear it's good now - I swear Reddit is good now -

Reddit is a good place to find Discord roleplays. It's a little heavier on smut-only roleplays than other platforms mentioned here, but it's not impossible to find sexless, plot-based roleplay here either. Most ads are for one on one RP, but you can find groups mixed in here too. The big subreddits for text-based freeform RP seem to be:

r/DiscordRP

r/RoleplayPartnerSearch

r/roleplaying

r/Roleplay

Some of these have weird rules about what you can put in your ad, and I don't remember which ones, so read carefully and don't get discouraged if your ad is initially removed.

Discord

In 2024, Discord is by far the biggest and most popular platform for roleplay, and it has its own native roleplay advertising hubs. Here are a bunch:

roleplay partner hub

Rockin Roleplay

The Roleplay Garden

roleplay help

the roleplay connection

RP Central

Roleplay Central

Roleplay Hub

Barbermonger also has a Discord server

Roleplay Meets: Reborn

RP Hub

The Scribes Guild

DM Rp Village

cherry blossom! roleplay hub

DM-RP

Roleplay Round Table (21+)

The Historical Syndicate (specifically for historical roleplay)

The Roleplayer's Directory

If you can't find the Discord roleplay you want on here, you can also try Discord hub websites, like Disboard. These work similar to tumblr tags - search for [genre] rp or [fandom] rp.

Other

The original post specifically mentions that 'all the old "omegle but for role play" type websites died out ages ago'. This is mostly true, but not quite! There's still Rolechat. It's a little janky, but what it needs more than anything is a bigger user base. Their Discord server is also a good place to find one on one discord roleplay. It is, of course, free, but if you want to support its development, they have a patreon.

Do you support DM-style roleplays?

This is a server-based roleplay community. We no longer support DM-style roleplays, as our goal is to foster an engaging and interactive environment where members can connect with one another. For this reason, we do not allow lurking, nor do we encourage advertisements for private roleplays. We ask that all members remain active and participate within the community. If you are not seeking this type of experience, this server may not be the right fit for you.

Open to everyone, mutuals and non Mutuals

Connection- Hook up that leads to more

Plot- Eddie's had a rough day at work and heads out to a gay bar to let off some steam. He starts talking to your muse and they end up going home together, except neither of them expect after repeated hookups to want more than that.

(Applies to all avatars of any power.)

You felt a tug— on the bindings of your existence, the strings that tie you to your patron. You were pulled, and pulled, and pulled, until you uncoiled and popped out on the other end of reality. Your ribs hurt, and your chest felt squeezed and pressed like canned meat.

You are here. But where is here? You look around and all you see is endless black sand, blowing in a wind that sounds like screams. No, those are screams. Others are here with you. You do not know who they are.

i’ve been in and out of rp servers for years now and while i’ve met some lovely people, a lot of spaces tend to feel a little cliquey or very surface level when it comes to character development, so i’m really hoping to find people here who genuinely love building deep storylines and complex dynamics together. i’ve mostly written books up until recently, so i think part of my problem has been struggling to find partners who want to get as invested in the development side of things as i do. i love making pinterest boards, playlists, aesthetics, timelines, relationship dynamics, character studies, little details about habits/fears/history, literally like all of it!!

genre wise i’m honestly super flexible and open to almost anything. i love darker themes just as much as softer emotional ones and i’m very plot focused overall. i adore apocalyptic settings, dystopian worlds, vampires, survival horror, religious horror, psychological drama, morally gray characters, messy relationships, crime, cults, southern gothic, small appalachian towns, western vibes, sci-fi, fantasy, cryptic horror, tragic romance, toxic dynamics, found family, slowburns, road trips, etc. fandom wise i enjoy both writing in existing universe and also creating completely original worlds together too.

i can write male or female characters and i’m comfortable with basically any role in a dynamic. for romance, i tend to lean toward queer relationships since i’m queer myself and they’re usually easier for me to connect to emotionally, but i’m open minded overall. i also tend to adapt well to my partner i can write emotionally vulnerable characters, manipulative characters, obsessive dynamics, softer comforting dynamics, whatever best fits the story we’re building. length wise i’m very much a mirror writer and usually match whatever my partner prefers. the only thing i cannot write are canon characters as i never feel like i get their personalities right. totally fine with others writing them, though! <3

i put a lot of love into my characters and storylines and i’d really love finding people who enjoy that same level of investment. i’m very friendly, very enthusiastic, and always happy to brainstorm, so please don’t be afraid to like / reach out if any of this clicks with you!!!!!! xx
