Talk:Role-playing

Overhaul

Tried to do the best overhaul of this article I could-- the previous was sort of all over the place; role-playing in the broad sense of improv theatre, organizational training, and shamanistic religious ceremony, seems awfully far removed from role-playing in the sense in which it's relevant to furries, and my work really more or less duplicates what's in the section on roleplaying games, where I probably could have more productively turned my attention. So anyway, I've tagged it to merge with that article, though I really have no idea what that process entails. If I've tagged things incompletely, I trust the nice people here will set me straight. --Furthling 23:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

The external links section

Most if not all of the external links appear to be links to specific role-playing universes. It seems to me those should be discussed and linked from their respective articles, and the only ones that really belong here are any sites about role-playing in general. --mwalimu 05:51, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Animal roleplay?

Currently Animal roleplay (example: puppy play, pony play, etc) redirects to Role-playing. Wondering if WikiFur should have separate "Animal roleplay" article (Wikipedia has article titled Animal roleplay) ... or whether WikiFur should have separate "puppy play", "pony play", and maybe "kitten play" articles? --EarthFurst (talk) 05:55, 19 May 2019 (EDT)

I think to start with we should just have sections on these with appropriate links to Wikipedia's articles on the topic, and the furry-specific manifestations of such, before we start thinking about separate articles. We don't want to merely duplicate what Wikipedia already covers in depth. Note that furry lifestyle and alt.lifestyle.furry (where you would often see people using RP poses or speaking in animalistic onomatopoeia) cover essentially the same thing and should perhaps have more of a link with this article. --GreenReaper^(talk) 15:27, 19 May 2019 (EDT)
