Sᴛᴏᴘ Wᴀɪᴛɪɴɢ – Sᴛᴀʀᴛ Pʟᴀʏɪɴɢ!

𝑀𝑎𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑌𝑜𝑘𝑜ℎ𝑎𝑚𝑎 𝐴𝑙𝑖𝑣𝑒

Alright, let’s talk about it: Everyone keeps complaining that no one interacts, but at the same time, the only thing I see is "interact with me/my blog" and then? Nothing...

So, instead of just shouting into the void, why not write what you actually want? Angst? Fluff? Silly moments? Drama? Long-term arcs? Just say it, and people will know how to approach you!

1. Use the Resources Available!

I have already built multiple blogs to help people interact, but they only work if you use them!

→ The @bsd-rp-masterlist sorts everyone by organization, AU, etc. It’s literally designed for you to find people easily!

Example: "I have an OC in the ADA. Let’s check who else is there and start a conversation!"

The Masterlist also collects independent characters: consider recruiting them into organizations or even founding your own! If you see someone missing, help me find and add them!

→ @bsd-yokohama: This isn’t just a generic rp setting. It’s a city I carefully mapped out based on BSD’s unique version of Yokohama. Many places in BSD don’t exist in real life, so I used Google Street View to find the location where it could be and marked them accordingly. I’ve included key spots from the series and made sure to create a city that feels immersive and alive. Use it to place your character in specific locations and build natural interactions!

→ @bsd-bdays helps you check who has a birthday coming up so you can throw maybe an rp party!

2. Let’s Make the World Feel Alive

We all live in the same city. Why don’t we act like it? If we were actually in Yokohama, we wouldn’t just sit at home screaming "Interact with me!" and then sulk when nothing happens. We’d go out and do things. So let’s create events and shared moments:

I already made 2 missions, but I also want to introduce city-wide events. And not just any events, but events that make your characters feel real. What are they passionate about? What skills or professions do they have? Let’s bring that into the city!

→ A writer could host a book reading or a literary discussion at a café. → A painter might hold a vernissage at the Yokohama Museum of Art. → A detective character could get involved in solving a high-profile case. → A journalist might uncover a major scandal. → A chef could organize a ramen contest. → A scientist might present a breakthrough discovery. → A local bar could host a karaoke night that gets wildly out of hand.

Think outside the box! Yokohama isn’t just a backdrop! It’s a city waiting to be lived in. If you have an idea that could work as a mission or a city-wide event, tell me (@bsd-yokohama)! I’d love to incorporate it!

3. Small Groups & Social Bonds

Something I love from Vampire the Masquerade (which I rp in real life as pen&paper) is forming small groups, "coteries", even across enemy factions:

→ Why not have an ADA, Port Mafia, and Guild member who always meet at the cemetery for goth picnics?

→ Or create independent gangs, new organizations, or just a group of friends who always hang out at the same bar?

Think beyond basic interactions – build something that lasts!

4. Get Out There & RP!
