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
  • 📅 December 2024 is YE 46.9 in the RP.

    SARP Optional Combat Ruleset

    https://stararmy.com/roleplay-forum/threads/sarp-optional-combat-ruleset.71518/ Here I have made the thing. These rules pair with DRv3 and require no alteration of existing systems. The math is beyond simple so it should be easy to pick up and implement. This might need streamlining but what do...

    Closed SARP Optional Combat Ruleset

    This optional ruleset is being proposed for usage in RPs that desire additional danger in their experience. I welcome additional input as the system could be streamlined further to make it easy, fast, and fun. Also, PvP will have support, so that's cool! 1st EDIT: Cover system has been added...

    We're All Adults Here

    Two years ago, we decided to raise the minimum age to 18 to join Star Army as a member. This was for a couple reasons, but mainly because it made the site less complicated to run if we're all adults. In order to avoid kicking out any members who had already joined, we allowed for a two-year...

    Keeping Star Army a Safe Place

    Hey Star Army, As you probably know, Star Army is my hobby. It's not a business and I don't make money from it. I'm doing this for fun and I want all of you to be having fun too. Running a community is a big responsibility that means working with a lot of personalities. Without all the people...

    Character Creation Guides

    After a discussion between @Dragon_God, @Arbitrated, and myself on Discord, I have a question for @Wes: Do non-player factions that are comprised primarily of humans require a character creation guide in order to become a player faction? In my personal opinion they do, as I believe that a CCG...

    Staff Members and Family Members

    Are staff members allowed to make staff-level decisions for community members that are also family members of theirs in real life, @Wes? The answer, in my opinion, is a definitive “no” due to the vast potential for bias and, similar to what you said here, the possibility of “their impartiality...

    CoC and Honesty

    In recent events I have had the unfortunate chance to witness dishonesty on the part of two of our members. Honestly is a virtue that I happen to value so naturally this bothers me deeply. To be clear, THIS IS NOT A DISCUSSION OF THE RECENT SITUATION OR SIMILAR INCIDENTS. What I wish to get...

    I've created a new guide for reviewing submissions, that is focused on giving a good experience and explains what should and shouldn't be in each submission. Here's what I have so far. Please review it and let me know what you think about it.

    Beam Weapons and DRv3

    @Wes and @Fred - how are the damaging effects of beam weapons handled in DRv3? Does, say, a Tier 10 weapon capable of continuously firing for 10 seconds deals light anti-starship damage every “instant” of those 10 seconds - or does the Tier 10 value describe the sum of the weapon’s output over...
