An open city you can own.
Roleplay Project is a whitelisted, heavy text-first roleplay city in San Andreas, live since July 2026. The property market is open, the economy is player-owned, and every scene is written. The application is a real read of who you are as a writer. Once you are in, you are in.
01 /The Project
The doors are open. The lease is in your name.
Roleplay Project is a heavy text-first roleplay city 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. We are not a bureaucracy with a server attached, we are a city with the doors open, held together by a community that takes its stories seriously.
Your character, your call.
No locked classes. No mandatory backstories. Show up with someone you actually want to play and the city will find a place for them.
Open property and business market.
Real estate is player-owned and traded freely. Open a business with the right paperwork, set your own prices, hire your own staff. Walk into the city, walk out a landlord.
Whitelisted, with intent.
A real application, two senior reviewers, and no fast-track for anyone. It takes longer than the average server's form because we would rather read your writing once than chase your behaviour every week.
Strictly text. The culture lives in chat.
No voice, no exceptions. Every line of dialogue, every scene, every department dispatch is written. It keeps the city honest, archivable, and accessible to every player on equal footing.
Fear is canon.
Value of life, proportional response, and continuity are real. That is what makes the freedom mean something. The rules exist so your wins and losses both count.
Continuity is sacred.
Injuries persist. Deals are remembered. Reputations follow you. The city has a long memory, use it.
Vinewood & Hills
High-end real estate, nightlife, and the press that hounds both. Galileo Park to Mt Vinewood.
Downtown
Skyline, condos, storefronts. Where the markets open and the deals close. Pillbox Hill to Little Seoul.
South Central
Block politics, family businesses, the city's heartbeat. Davis, Strawberry, Chamberlain Hills.
Blaine County
Trailers, cheap land, room to build. Sandy Shores to Paleto Bay. Cheaper rent, longer roads.
03 /From the City
Scenes from Los Santos, as they happened.
Every image here was captured in game on Roleplay Project by the people playing it. No promotional renders, no staged press shots. Several are from the Blackout, the night a flood and a city-wide power cut hit Los Santos.
02 /Ways to Play
The freedom to be whoever you decide.
A handful of lives the city is built to support. None of these are gated. Get in and start writing.
The Shopkeeper
Open · Small business
Lease a storefront, stock the shelves, set your hours. Run a corner store, a clothing boutique, a record shop. Your POS, your books, your decisions on closing time.
The Real-Estate Player
Open · Property & flips
Buy low, hold, flip. Rent out apartments. Acquire a building, lease the storefront to another player, live upstairs. The market is genuinely open.
The Gearhead
Open · Mechanic & tuner
Run a body shop. Tune engines, weld frames, scribble work-orders. Build a reputation as the person to call when something stops running, or needs to.
The Artist
Open · Tattoo · music · barber
Open a tattoo studio. Run the city's loudest barbershop. DJ a venue, book a residency. Build a clientele and let your portfolio do the recruiting.
The Driver
Open · Solo career
Taxi, rideshare, courier, hauler. Long shifts on quiet streets, every fare a different story. Build a regular run and a name people ask for.
The Hustler
Open · Underground career
Build something the law doesn't see. A printing operation, a fence, an after-hours room, a crew. Hierarchy, vetting, and consequences are all on you.
The Suit
Open · White-collar
Lawyer up. Accountant up. Open a firm, write contracts, sit on a council seat. The city's paperwork is real, and someone has to draft it.
The Producer
Open · Farming · brewing · crafting
Grow it, brew it, distill it, sell it. A full distribution chain from field to shelf. Run the depot. Set the wholesale price. Get up early.
The Civilian
Open · No commitment
Don't pick a lane. Be a journalist. Be a columnist. Be a barfly with a back-story. Most of the city is exactly this, and most of the best arcs start here.
Want to form your own crew, gang, or business?
Player-founded organisations are built in-world, not on a form. Start small, build relationships, earn the right to call yourself something. No application needed, just get in and write.
03 /The Open Market
A real economy. Player-owned. Player-priced.
Property, businesses, vehicles, services. All of it changes hands between players, at prices the market sets.

Not a faction with a form. Built in-world, with people, over time. Start small, build relationships, earn the right to fly your own colours. No staff approval needed to get started, only to formally register an org.
06 /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.
- I
Rules quiz.
A scored multiple-choice quiz on the full ruleset. Value of life, FearRP, metagaming, power-RP, NLR, RDM and 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 - 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 for 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 to 60 min - 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
