I don't even know what Rune Factory is, but is sounds amazing! *grabby hands*

farming sim expert coming through

Rune Factory is a sister series to the Bokujo Monogatari (Harvest Moon and or Story of Seasons in the west) video games. It's basically fantasy anime meets dungeon crawler meets dating sim with some farming sim aspect. You play as a young man (or sometimes a young woman) who has found themselves in this small village with no memory of who they were before. Someone usually takes you in, and then provides you with a farmstead to live and work on.

There's always some magical "end of the world" type hooha going on in the lands surrounding the village, so it becomes up to you to go dungeon crawling, fight and tame monsters, and bring peace to the land. But in the meantime, you can grow some sweet veggies, befriend the extremely quirky and troperific townsfolk, and maybe find love along the way.

It's uh, GREAT, lmao. RF 1, 2, and 3 are available on the nintendo ds. RF 4 was originally on the 3DS, with a re-release for the switch that came out this year. RF 5 will be coming out on the switch next year as well. And there are two console games, Frontier for the wii, and Tides of Destiny for the wii and ps3.

Great series, would very much recommend looking it up. Unfortunately, RP wise, they tend be extremely short lived, because there's nothing about them that makes them stand out from other fantasy roleplays (at least in my opinion and experience), and the series as a whole is pretty niche (more so than Harvest Moon already was).


That said, I myself have also been itching for a true RF rp, just if not for that pre-set lore and world building aspect, for those really campy, anime shenanigans, and for something that doesn't take place in the modern day (much like HM, RF takes place in a fantasy world with some modern day elements but is generally set somewhere in the past). Just ya know, something to hold me over until RF5 comes out lmao.

Not EXACTLY what I had in mind, but that does sound really cool! While I haven't played Harvest Moon all that much, I have sacrificed my soul for Stardew Valley, so I KIND of get the gist of what RF is about, or at least I'm able to imagine what it's about XD

But I really like the idea of the freedom of like... Hey, you wanna tame animals/monsters? Go for it! You wanna be a farmer? Go for it, grow them corns! Want to fall in love or sleep/flirt with every available person? Knock yourself out!

As for making the site stand out, one could always implement some of the parts of the game, but then make the rest of it completely original to make it a little more interesting and fun overall, and less "lore heavy" :thinking face: so it certainly has a lot of potential in the right hands!

sounds like grimgar of fantasy and ash, it's a beautiful series. it has an anime too that's worth checking out!

people are transported to a fantasy world, losing their memories and having to form parties/pick classes, so they can earn a living defeating monsters.

Yeah, this is a little more along the lines of what I was thinking! I'll def check out the series! Sounds like something I'd enjoy :joy:

— mafia rp. still want this. preferably no fantasy elements, just grit and guns in a seedy city.

— greek god rp...where the gods are canon roles. mostly because ive reread olimpos recently (just google olimpos mangadex, yw) & wanna rp being screwed over by divine forces.

1) Disgaea-based rp. I think going discord if you wanna try to go for a 'grindy' system or forums if you want something loose but fun. I think the series is pretty quirky and cute.

2) Hades rp. This is what I NEED!! For all those uninformed in Hades you play as Zagreus, Hade's son, who continually escapes and tries to go to the surface. I was thinking that players can play as Shades (aka ghosts, spirits, etc) who were inspired by Zagreus repeated attempts at escaping and try their hand at it as well (they usually end up getting the floor mopped w/ them). But I was thinking that as they progress through different zones/levels they would be gifted perks/boons from the gods above or even find cool weapons from mythology!

Something based off celtic mythology... I just saw a list of the different types of trees and animals that go with them and idk I feel it'd be a pretty setting ;-; like Birch/Deer and Alder/Fox...

Madoka Magica spoiler site where familiars are free to RP but witches proper are site events. Thinking low stats aside from a soul gem clarity system, plus a couple factions to propel infighting.

The plot would be kicked off by a huge explosion of witches and a second wave of contracted magical girls getting pulled into the politics behind it.

someone be the hero we need and make a jujutsu kaisen site. i'm trying to do hoodrat stuff with my friends.
