Role Play

Role Play

Our Definition

When one or more people take on a different identity during a scene. Examples may include teacher-student, doctor-patient, or boss-employee.

Common Practices

Everyone is different! You'll see this repeated throughout our website and glossary. Common role-play practices include, but certainly aren't limited to
  • Arranging and planning scenes ahead of time.
  • Staying in character for the duration of a scene 
  • Incorporating costumes or other items to help create a mood or keep the participants engaged in the setting.

Joseph and Francine enjoy taking on the roles of “Conquering Warlord” and “Favoured Concubine” respectively.

Ethel has a longtime fantasy where she is Spider-man/Peter Parker, and JJ Jameson is demanding pictures of Spider-Man and threatening various punishments if said pictures of spider man are not delivered.
