Hey!
Recently, I've been browsing the forums and groups a bit to try and find people interested in historical RP - not the fantasy or sci-fi type of historical, but more the Downtown Abbey-esque kind of historical. My findings have been relatively scarce; there are historical RP groups, but they all seem to involve a sci-fi or fantasy element or are centered around a specific RP universe. I'm not saying those aren't great for some people - I mean, hey, you do you - I'm just saying it seems as if the 'real-world slice-of-life historical' kind of RP is not as popular/represented. So, I thought for a bit, and got the idea to create a group for people interested in a kind of historical RP that's centered more around humanity's real historical eras. From medieval, to industrial era, to 20th century, you name it. Anything up until to RP that constitutes as 'modern' or beyond in terms of timeframe (for me personally, that would be anything after mid-20th century). We could talk about our own historical characters, the periods we like to RP in, maybe even nerd out about history together.
Would any of you be interested in joining such a group? We can talk about details later, I'm just checking to see if there's any demand, as there don't seem to be many people interested in this kind of RP. If you'd want to join, let me know!

Yeah, I'd be into it. On one hand history is my area of study and I'm sick of it, but on the other my brain is now full of historical nonsense that 99% of people don't care about. Might as well use it for something.
I don't do public/group RPs but nearly all my RPs are historical-based so, IDK, if there would be a section for advertising yourself for 1x1 RPs or discussion OOC, I might be interested in something like that.
Hey this sounds cool! Been involved in a World War 2 RP on the Eastern Front, and thought the same as you when I went looking for a suitable group. I have my character 'Sgt Steiner' based Willi Heinrich's book and on James Coburn's character in the movie 'Cross of Iron' in that.
So yeah, colour me interested!

Okay, I've created a group! You can find it by following this link or by searching for 'Historical Roleplayers' in the public group directory!
Ahhhh!! I'm so glad someone is making a group for this. I love historical roleplay, but like you said it seems it's not so popular on this website. I'd love to join the group!
