Star Army

Star ArmyⓇ is a landmark of forum roleplaying. Opened in 2002, Star Army is like an internet clubhouse for people who love roleplaying, art, and worldbuilding. Anyone 18 or older may join for free. New members are welcome! Use the "Register" button below.

Note: This is a play-by-post RPG site. If you're looking for the tabletop miniatures wargame "5150: Star Army" instead, see Two Hour Wargames.

  • If you were supposed to get an email from the forum but didn't (e.g. to verify your account for registration), email Wes at [email protected] or talk to me on Discord for help. Sometimes the server hits our limit of emails we can send per hour.
  • Get in our Discord chat! Discord.gg/stararmy
  • 📅 October and November 2024 are YE 46.8 in the RP.

Testing New Chat

I'm currently working on a the new chat add-on (Chat By Siropu) that is intended to replace the current Shoutbox (TaigaChat). You're welcome to go in there and test it out and give me any feedback you have.

Banner Updates

  • As the only non-staff member moderating the character submission forum, Aendri has been given a special Character Creation Mod banner. His job is...
 

Star Army goes Secure

Star Army is now set up to use SSL. Note the little padlock icon next to site's name. This encrypts your traffic between your computer and Star Army's servers, so that people can't swipe your password, or eavesdrop on your smutty RP posts in the 18+ section.

Stuff to know:
  • The site should work in pretty much the same way.
  • http links to the site will automatically be redirected to their HTTPS equivalent.
  • Don't hotlink images on the wiki. This is already a rule for multiple...
 

A Place for Wanted Characters

I was thinking it would help our roleplayers if we had a single place they could visit (which could be a wiki page or a thread) where all "open positions" and "wanted characters" were posted.
