  1. Being one of the Old Farts from this topic's title, I get to use the term ;) I am 61 years old and have been RPing in one form or another since high school. My RP journey roughly goes: Table Top >> Online Groups (true PbeM) >> Forums >> Nova >> Forums. Confession time! I feel like my recent RP experience has become very insular. I tend to write primarily with my generation and avoid "younger" RPs. I have nothing against younger RPers. However, I feel totally lost - even when reading some of the threads here on the Initiative. Things have changed drastically since I left forum RP for Nova and then returned. For example, while I understand at a high level what Shippers, Plotters, and Wanteds are, I am having a very hard time utilizing them at my sites. I have the forums for them, but my members (most are in my age range) simply post in our Discord channels, get some feedback and go for it. I am seriously considering removing these forums from my sites because they are simply wasted space. The only OOC forum we use on my sites is the one that we discuss site-wide storylines in. In reality, the other forums are simply there as a courtesy for those that might not like Discord. Next comes the RP lingo in general. This is a me issue that may not extend to other older players. Since my social outlets are with older people, a great deal of the modern etiquette regarding RP terms is just confusing. There's also the real fear of inadvertently hurting feelings or offending someone (OOC not IC). The end result is that I look at a great number of beautiful sites with intriguing storylines or premises, but then I shy away because I see hundreds of forums and terms or acronyms that leave me blinking. I am an old-fashioned storyteller when it comes to RPing. Does anyone JP anymore (Joint Post)? Is there hope for me? Are there others out there that feel the RP climate has left them behind? Please take this as it's meant, which is a humorous look at RP from the perspective of a member of the older generation.
