Board Descriptions
Private Boards II: Roleplaying / Play-by-Post Boards

This is the right-most column of Elliquiy's forums, also visible only to approved members. All roleplaying games take place in this column. Stories and games are separated by content (Light, Bondage, Non-Consensual, Extreme), and are then further separated between games with only one thread (solo games), games with more than one thread (small games), and group games with more than 1000 posts (big games). If any of these terms confused you, this thread explains the most common of Elliquiy's site terminology.

Elliquiy and its staff is not responsible for the material that members may read. If you are uncomfortable with the material of a certain category, please do not read threads within that category. This is further elaborated upon in our disclaimer.
