How do you find a good roleplaying site?

Answer 1

There are a lot of great tools to help you find a good roleplaying site. For example, RPG Directory has many forums full of great sites. You can also Google topsites to find active sites.

Try googling your favourite genre, or google the genre. For example, "human topsite roleplay" or "wolf roleplay" are good queries to start out with.

Many forum-based roleplaying sites have affiliates and advertising boards as well. Click around and see if you can find any you like.

If you're really stuck, you can register at a roleplaying resource forum and request a roleplay recommendation.

Answer 2

One thing that you might want to start with are checking out free roleplay game sites that have already been created, to get ideas, or just to host your game instead. Several are listed in the related links area. If you don't want to put a lot of work into making your own, there are several sites out there that allow you to host your game for free.

If you look at the sites that already exist, and still want to make your own, there are some good links below that discuss some of the concerns you will have to address.
