This has been one incredible week, and now, it's really, honestly here. Our third birthday. We've gotten so big! *sniff*
Happy birthday to us!And even after a solid week of partying, we've still got more. Check it out!
New forum
As much as we adore the RP Finder, we recognize that sometimes, what you really need is a long-lasting bulletin board on which to leave your requests for RP, group advertisements, and other RP related looking-fors.
The RP Discussion forum used to be home to all RP topics, whatever their nature. But that forum has gotten busy enough to warrant being split into two. Now, there's one forum for talking about RP, and a new forum for finding RP.
We'll be moving your Looking For topics into the new forum over the course of the next few days.
Contests
We have four contests that are still open for you to enter! Make sure you check them out:
- Spread the Love Raffle (TODAY IS YOUR LAST DAY TO ENTER!)
- Tutorial Contest
- Genre Jumble Art Contest
- RP Prompt Contest
It's not our anniversary without a movie
Darth_Angelus has done us the great honor of creating another RP Repository video to celebrate our third birthday!
This one is all about the new RP Finder we introduced at the beginning of our third anniversary celebration.
Logo concepts
We're three years old and we still don't have a proper logo?! It's true! But that will soon change. I've been working with the design firm Cafe Noir Arts to develop a logo. Today, I'm happy to present you the first four potential concepts. I've included the designer's notes with each, to give you some sense of where they were aiming!
use just the letters RP or RPR, you could, or you could use the logomark on its own. Aesthetically, I wanted to create something that was recognizable in the world
of gaming, so I thought a shield shape would do the trick. In it, I placeda gryphon to represent the fantasy realm, and a circuitry pattern to represent more of the
sci-fi aspect. The font is a regal, yet simple, serif, that would unite well with the aesthetic of the website."
Last day to get a grab bag!
Visit the store today to get a bag full of party favors, or send some to your friends! What's in the bag? You might get epicness, character slots or page slots, in random combinations and in mystery amounts! It could be a little... but it could also be a lot. Try your luck!These will be removed from our store at midnight tonight, so grab one quick!
New templates
Templates old and new give an encore performance in fantastic new colors! This batch includes two new colors of Celtic Knots by the wonderful Heimdall.

Everything is so beautiful here! The templates, the logos!

and I love the first logo!!

IM HAPPILY SOBBING THIS IS SO GREAT. The crossbow is exactly what I was hoping for and I could not be happier now, oh goodness. And all the new colors of the Celtic templates, I'm so happy. *buries face into templates* LOVE.
I am also in love with logo number 2! It implements sci-fi with fantasy in a way that is sudden and amazing and I love it- I didn't even need to read the blurb to notice the genre mesh! It reminds me of years past when I'd wander the local nerdist shop across town for dice and MtG cards and pass Star Trek memorabilia and Darth Vader figurines- the kinda stuff that got me into roleplaying to begin with. Total nostalgia.

#4 is my favorite
Okay, I'm coherent now. I think. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA okay, there, that was the last of it.
I like logo number 4 the very most! It's crisp, clean, simple and very good at conveying what I can only describe as 'RPR feel'. Number 1 is a solid second, though. 2 reminds me a bit of Mortal Kombat, I'll admit (which is actually awesome, but a little out there), and the concept behind 3 seems a tad difficult to grasp at a glance. 1 and 4 definitely capture the essence of the RPR with the most fluency, with 1 doing the whole tech/fantasy combo thing with the most elegance and success, I feel.

Oh man, those logos are so cool!! My favorites are the sword-n-shield and the circuitry knight! That circuitry knight is totally genius
Yaaay templates!!
