I started the community and then barely anyone showed up to participate in anything, so that's it for me. I'm done trying to do things for other people anymore. It's not worth wasting my time.

That's one brilliant initiative.
ED has a lot of potential for in-game roleplay, and it would be especially interesting to take part in the voice roleplay sessions.

I agree. I've been searching around for months, and haven't seen anything that's quite what I'm looking for. I absolutely love the game and role play. I'm a disabled veteran, I'm retired, and I have a LOT of free time on my hands, so I figured - why not? LOL
It especially motivates me because I see people who make third party programs for free for players - I love this community and would love to share in immersive role play experiences with you all!
hi mate, I love this idea, I hope the following information helps you.Okay, so I don't know if anyone has seen my posts before but I have been interested in enhancing my Elite Dangerous game-play by adding an element of in game role play. This will only get more immersive once Odyssey launches, so I figured that I'd get a head start on it.
I have pretty much put the entire discord together and will be ready to open it to public soon, however, I have a few questions that I need the community to answer!
1. What private group should we utilize?
I've heard that Drew Wagar has a private group for Roleplay, I was thinking of either contacting him to have players join that one (if he is even responsive to the idea - haven't even begun to ask), or we can join one that I have, or we can all just play in open. The idea that I had was strict PVE would be done in PG and PVP stuff done in Open. I'm a fan of both play modes, and plan on utilizing both for role-play. I'm just spitballing some ideas.
2. What sort of RP Guidelines should be followed in game and in text RP?
As far as I know, there is no dice bot for discord - if you know of one, please let me know. All of us have different backgrounds when it comes to roleplay - whether it be tabletop, virtual, larp, or otherwise. There are hundreds of different variations to denote actions (ie. action, ::action::, <<Action>>, etc). The question is, should we establish our OWN set of guidelines agreed upon by the community, use ones that may already be established, or should we mix and match ones to suit our needs?
Let me know what you all think! I will be working non-stop on the discord - and working on something cool for "radio comms".
For a dice bot maybe look at :- Dice Maiden | Discord Bots (top.gg)
There is an EDRPG book :- Elite Dangerous RPG - Spidermind Games
My self and a few others are about to start an Elite Dangerous RPG group, with missions and outcomes reported on in our news program that we already have, The Fatherhood News Podcast.
The only problem with that is EDRPG is set up and geared more towards the tabletop crowd. That is not at all what I want to do. If I wanted to do that, I'd buy EDRPG and play that. This will be roleplay IN GAME through voice and text. Players will have to interact with each other in game and create their own story narrative based on the lore that has already been established for the game.
That's cool. I want to try and set up something with the guys from GalNet, Sagittarious Eye, and your podcast if you're interested @HaiderKubba2020
That way we can have "radio stations" to make it more immersive.

I like the idea here, cant help with the setup but am interested to see how this pans out
I will definitely keep you posted. I haven't gotten much in the way of RP Guidelines, but I think I may just make some up that work for what we need it for.
I bought all the Elite RPG books - may use some elements out of these but main focus will be in game. I'm not a big tabletop gamer, but if it supports FDev, I'm for it. LOL
I got the dice bot - I have a pretty decent idea of how I can work that in to the integrated text RP
No, this is the first one.Okay, so I don't know if anyone has seen my posts before but I have been interested in enhancing my Elite Dangerous game-play by adding an element of in game role play. This will only get more immersive once Odyssey launches, so I figured that I'd get a head start on it.

Loads of random dice rollers on the net. Like the idea so far.
Thanks! Hopefully it will take off and will only get better with Odyssey!
When your group gets to the point where they are about to undertake a mission in game and you need a bad guy to take actions in support of a scenario that NPCs can't be substituted for feel free to hit me up.

Any RP Groups interested in a freelance villain?
Do you have an RP group on PC? Do you like to organize in game events? Do you need a villain for your heroes to defeat and those pesky NPC's won't stick to a script? Well, I'll be your villainous content the next time you need a stand in for a certain persona. Example archetypes: Stop a...

There won't be any need for this, as you'll just be able to join, post your character back story and then RP your character as you wish.
it won't be a group, it will be an entire community hopefully.
Anything that can enhance ED gameplay is allway greatly welcomes.

I think the main problem is, the game has been out for a while, and most people don't have the attention span or discipline to play a game that requires time and dedication.But, I digress, I don't want this to turn into a complaint thread. We've seen a TON of new players fall off in the last few months because the game is "too grindy". Seems like if people can't unlock everything in a week, it's too much of a grind.
I've even seen people pay for services to unlock things for them on ED. Can't fix laziness I suppose. So instead I'm trying to come up with ways to stimulate more immersive gameplay without making requests of the devs to do or add much of anything.

Ive had ED since beta played teh original . Its so incredibly griny. I cant imagine getting anaconda or fleet carrier in my life time. Yes having those credit farms for sale sdoesn thelp eith er since it distorts the market.
Also travel times are just ridiculous. People have lives. In the other F games they have a count timer say 2min to create dino. Not one 1hr!
People are free to leave if the want. ED is confused is it a game or a sim? Atech demo?#
I am a healthy person who is of working age. I would also like to play ED and have time left for other activities.
That's fine, then you're free to leave and play something else, I never said that they weren't. This is getting off topic and I don't want this turning into a complaint department. There are other threads if you wanna voice your disapproval with the game.
UPDATE:
I've heard back from Mr. Wagar, and I'm going to be moving forward with the project! I will have more of an update coming soon!
It's exciting!

In the meantime: probably someone reading this thread has a collection of additional ED lore materials - world history, books and etc - please share
I know it's all available in the internet, but it's kinda scattered all around the place.

I will be following this thread very closely. I absolutely love Larp and Roleplay so if this becomes a thing, I doubt I'd find much time to do anything else in ED.
Should probably finish the engineering grind beforehand for that reason.
You know, if it weren't for the vast advantages granted by engineering I'd even go so far as to propose that roleplay mechanically combat should be done by piloting in game, Larp style.
You wanna be a crack pilot? Be a crack pilot.
Unfortunately the playing ground isn't as even as it once was anymore.
