01 /The Project

The doors are unlocked. The lease is in your name.

Roleplay Project is a heavy text-first roleplay community in San Andreas with one core promise: you can actually do things. Buy a house. Open a bar. Run a corner shop, a tattoo parlour, a rideshare, a record label. Walk away from any of it and try something else.

Applications are short and the rules are reasonable. We're not a bureaucracy with a server attached, we're a city with the doors open, held together by a community that takes its stories seriously.

Read the rules
05 /Getting In

A real application. A real read. Once you're in, you're in.

We take time on the way in so we don't have to police you on the way through. Plan on an evening for the writing, a few days for the review, and a city that trusts you when it's done.
  1. I

    Rules quiz.

    A scored multiple-choice quiz on the full ruleset — value of life, FearRP, metagaming, power-RP, NLR, RDM/VDM, and the consequences for each. Read the rules page in full before you sit down. You will be expected to know it cold once you're in.

    ~15 min
  2. II

    Written application.

    Discord handle, the city you'll be playing from, your roleplay history, and a written character concept with backstory, motivation, and how they got to Los Santos. We also ask you to write two in-character scene samples to specific prompts so we can read your voice. This is the longest part of the process and the part that matters most.

    ~45–60 min
  3. III

    Senior review.

    Two senior community members read your application end-to-end, on their own time, without a rubric to game. If they agree it's a yes, you're in. If it's a no or there are open questions, you'll get a written reply explaining what to address. Re-applications are welcome.

    up to 5 days
06 /House Rules

Reasonable rules. Read once. Live by it.

Full ruleset on a separate page. This is the short list.
01

18+ players & characters.

Hard requirement on both. We verify. Lying about it is a permanent ban.

02

Value of life · FearRP.

Your character has one. They run, comply, or fight only when fighting is in-character.

03

No metagaming.

If you didn't learn it in-world, your character doesn't know it. Zero tolerance.

04

No power-RP.

Use /me to attempt, /do to ask. Don't write outcomes for other people.

05

Player safety is the floor.

Slurs, harassment, OOC threats, instant. CWC consent flow is mandatory.

06

Roleplay your wealth.

Lifestyle matches finances. No gas-station-attendant Lamborghinis without a story.

Read the full ruleset (11 sections)
07 /The People Behind the Curtain

Run by writers. Played by writers.

Our staff team writes, plays, and moderates in the same city you do.

09 /Frequently Asked

The short answers.

Anything else lives on Discord or in the City Dossier.
How "open" is the property market, really?
Genuinely open. Any property in the city can be bought, sold, transferred, or leased between players. There's no instanced "your house", what's listed is what's available, at what the seller's asking. Businesses change hands the same way.
How long does the application take?
Plan on an evening to sit down and write it properly. The age check is a couple of minutes, the rules quiz is around fifteen, the written application — backstory, motivation, two scene samples — is closer to forty-five to sixty minutes if you're doing it right. Review is up to five days because two senior community members read each one in full, on their own time. We do not run a quick form. The trade is real: once you're approved you have a city that trusts you to walk into any scene as a full adult character, and a community that hasn't filtered us into mediocrity to chase signups.
Do I have to join a faction?
No. Most of the city doesn't. Civilian is the default lane and it's where most of the best arcs start. Departments and player-founded organisations are there if you want structure, but the whole point is choice.
Can I start my own gang or business on day one?
A business, yes, with the right paperwork and capital. A gang, not literally on day one. Player-founded crime organisations are built in-world over time. Show up, meet people, build relationships, earn the right to fly colours. Quality over quantity.
Is this English-only?
The primary server language is English. Characters of any background and any accent are welcome, speak the language your character would speak. We just ask that scenes can be moderated when needed.
What happens if I break a rule?
Most outcomes are coaching and continuity adjustments. Bans exist for the obvious reasons. Every decision is documented and appealable on the forum. Full enforcement guidelines here.
