The RPs in this forum may contain topic tags that help distinguish which RPs are public and private:
Public:
[Open]: The RP currently has open slots available, which means anyone is free to join.
[Request]: The RP creator has special rules that must be followed before joining. PM the RP creator for details if they are not in the RP topic itself. Either way, communicating with the RP creator before joining is required, and the RP creator reserves the right to accept or deny you as a role player.
[Closed]: The RP currently has no open slots available, which means it is not currently accepting new role players.
Private:
[Private]: The RP was private to a certain group of members to begin with and will not accept new role players.
The shadow shook his head, "It doesn't matter. Remember that only you can see me." The shadow kept walking with the buck's son, "Fear not. I will tell you what to say to the Great Prince."
The shadow said, "Very well...as you wish..." However once the shadow was gone no one could understand what the buck's son was trying to say since it would come off as incoherent babble.
