Role-Playing on Reddit

Role-Playing on Reddit takes many forms. We have subs for showing off cosplays (dressing up as a character from history or a film, graphic novel, book, or video game), such as:

r/cosplay - SFW photos, questions, tutorials, and cosplay related discussions.
r/cosplayers - for people who cosplay and people looking to cosplay.
r/CosplayHelp - for anyone who needs help with armour making, sewing, wigs etc.
r/badcosplay - a no-shame environment for your worst or intentionally bad cosplay.

*We have subs dedicated to the many types of RPGs (role-playing games) out there, such as:**

r/RoleplayingForReddit - to find and advertise play-by-post role-playing groups.
r/DnD - Dungeons & Dragons from its First Edition roots to its Fifth Edition future.
r/RoleplayPartnerSearch - to find your perfect non-smut role-playing mate.
r/roleplaying - where avid role-players can commune, commiserate, learn and share.
r/BadRPerStories - a place to post stories about the bad role-players you've encountered.
r/gametales - a place to recount unexpected, unique, or humorous events, epic sagas, dastardly backstabbing and other player interactions that have happened in-game.
r/roleplaydirectory - a small sub aiming to provide an up-to-date and easy to access directory of all active roleplay subreddits. Has a huge sidebar of related subreddits!

*We have improv subs where you portray a particular character in that sub, such as:**

r/HaveWeMet - roleplay in the fictional small town of “Lower Duck Pond”.
r/lifeofnorman - a subreddit about writing small, fictional tales about a fictional character named Norman; a rather unremarkable fellow.
r/TalesFromCaveSupport - everyday Cro-Magnons talk about their struggles with those who are "evolved".
r/Fictional_AITA - Similar to r/AmITheAsshole but for our favourite fictional characters and their situations.
r/PotterPlayRP - Free-range Harry Potter roleplay.
r/herotale - a small story sub with huge potential where you are the hero and interact with the storytellers.
r/continuefromprompt - an adult story writing and role-playing community designed to encourage immediate immersion. NSFW.

*And we have subs which lie on the periphery:**

r/totallynotrobots - A PLACE FOR ALL FELLOW HUMANS TO SHARE THEIR KNOWLEDGE. WE TOTTALLY AREN'T ROBOTS.
r/ItemShop - pics of things that look like items from RPGs and other video games.
r/Bossfight - pics of things that could be boss fights, preferably with creative boss titles.
r/BossFights - boss fights in meme form.
r/VXJunkies - nonsensical (but thematically consistent) technobabble.
r/SCP - official subreddit of the SCP Wiki collaborative fiction project.
r/abovethetreetops - brush up on your business lingo and corporate jargon here.
r/AlternateHistory - a "what if" hypothetical history sub.
r/HistoryWhatIf - here to explore alternate history scenarios in interesting ways.

The Imaginary Network Expanded (INE) is a network of art sharing subreddits[1] ranging from broad in subject to very specific. It is the goal of the INE to share, inspire, discuss and appreciate paintings, drawings, and digital art while maintaining artist credit and source links.

r/ImaginaryNetwork - home of the INE.
r/ImaginaryBestOf - this sub collects the best posts from the INE.
r/ImaginaryUnofficial - a hub meant to aid in cataloging, browsing, and promoting extra "Imaginary" subs, such as:
r/ImaginaryCharacters - art of characters from fantasy, sci-fi or other fiction.

*Because there is a Subreddit for everything:**

A set of subreddits that really go all out for stretching the imagination[2] are the “…..World Problems” subs based on expanding the Three-World Model[3].

In r/FifthWorldProblems, the inhabitants have torn down the walls of physics and are messing with the fabrics of space/time. One of the top posts of all time[4] is: “My daughter told me she now identifies as gender fluid and I was fine with it. It was getting cold out so I turned on the heater, now she's become gender gas and can't return to her liquid form. Any ideas on how I can get her back to normal?”

r/fourthworldproblems, r/FifthWorldProblems, r/SixthWorldProblems, r/SeventhWorldProblems, r/EighthWorldProblems and so on all get progressively weirder. Sadly, some need reviving but the archives are still worth a look, as does r/5thworldproblems.

As always, read the rules[5] before contributing to an unfamiliar sub. Similar subreddits are often to be found in the Sidebar too.
