Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

So I used to be on a Star Wars board that did this thing once a week on Fridays. They called it Friday Night Roleplay. Basically what you do is get everyone together at a certain time and everyone writes very quick posts and move a plot along very fast. It is fun and can be a good way to explore characters you would not usually explore.

The idea is pretty simple. Someone would get a small plot together, or sometimes it could be bigger ones, and everyone writes until it is finished or you just pass out from being online so long. We had one RP that lasted from 7 PM until 5 AM the next day. You write out smaller posts, no more than a paragraph, and that way you can get a lot of stuff done in one night.

The idea came when I was thinking about how one person can have so man characters. I felt like you wouldn't really be able to fully experience all of your characters through long threads because of the thread dying or people dropping out. Then I remembered this and it really offers a way for you to write with characters you generally do not have a chance to write with and you can explore them more.

On the idea of the actual RP I figure one week we can do a student oriented one and then the next week an adult oriented one. By that I mean this: One week it would be all about your student characters. You could choose one, or even two, characters to write and then that night you get to really explore that character.

Some ideas could be like quidditch matches, students reacting to certain things in the wizarding world. Adult wise it would be a chance for certain characters, like entertainers, to get a chance to actually showcase themselves. For example everyone could go to the Leaky Cauldron to see someone play or whatever.

We could even incorporate the main plot line into things. This way everyone could be involved in some way and not feel left out. Examples could be like a big war or something along those lines considering what has been brewing between the DE, Order, and Grindy.

Its a new idea and I am more than open for little tweaks on it. I figure this is a fresh new outlook on things and it could be fun if we just give it a chance.

I sort of started something like this, but it was a past kind of thread. It did somewhat well xD. But yeah, this is a really good idea. Except, I think we need more of a war sort of thing going on. Not just Death Eaters vs OoTP, but there is something that two sides are working for and they are fighting each other. Like a philosophers stone or something REALLLY important. Perhaps make something up? But usually no one ever replies to it xD.
