Hello Jammers, have you ever wanted to hold your own successful roleplay?
Well you're in luck! It's antsrulez back here again with an informative article tutorial. This article will be providing a step-by-step guide on how to set up and manage your own roleplay in your den in Animal Jam Play Wild!
Step 1- Think carefully about which den you are going to want to use. Make sure to take into consideration the size of the den, the customizability of the den and to ask yourself, ‘does the den represent the type of roleplay you are wanting to hold?’
Step 2- Customise your carefully selected den to tailor and adapt it to the type of roleplay you are thinking of doing. The default small house, which is the one I've selected for this article, is great for a small family roleplay of around 6 Jammers. The dollhouse is also a great option if you're wanting a larger family role play!
Step 3- Next, find Jamaa Township on your world map and head to the pillow room if this is the place you want to go to. This place is well known for not only holding the most fascinating of public role plays but also its an amazing place to advertise your own role plays that you are wanting to hold yourself.
Step 4- Now, what you want to do after you've headed to your chosen location is to advertise your roleplay. Just to note that everyone has their own preference as to where they advertise but many would agree that the pillow room which can be found in Jamaa Township as circled on the map in red pen; this is the best place to find like minded Jammers to let your roleplay come to life. This is the location I have chosen to showcase these steps to this guide.
Step 5- Once you have done and considered both step 3 and 4, make sure there are plenty of Jammers in the pillow room to make the most of the power of your advertisement. Always keep in mind that this is also a popular place where public roleplays may take place as well as the fact that there may be other Jammers who are also in the same boat as you advertising their own homemade roleplay in the same location as you. If this is causing an issue or you're not getting the outcome you need attendance wise, it may be best to log out and back in to get taken to a different server with a different target audience. Advertising may take some time, so bear that in mind when advertising. Make sure what you're advertising is accurate and catchy to the eye of onlooking Jammers, similar to the message I wrote in the Image.
Step 6- Time for the roleplay to commence! Once you've gotten all the Jammers you need you can begin to allocate the roles needed for the roleplay to begin, but be sure to not make anyone feel pressured into a role they don't want to participate in. Also, make sure that you are careful and considerate of what other Jammers are wanting to do within reason for the roleplay to officially begin. This is also a good opportunity to take on board how long people are wanting to participate for, as it is essential to a smooth running roleplay and so that you are prepared with backups for when this does happen.
Quick troubleshooting guide!
What if a jammer drops out suddenly?
You can ask one of your buddies to substitute in, or you can use a plushie or even a pet!
What if no one wants to participate?
If this is the case, maybe try to advertise at a different time in the day. Some jammers are in different timezones!
Can non-members hold roleplays?
Of course they can! Different items may need to be used as you won't be able to use member props but you can still hold a very successful roleplay without membership.
A Jammer has raided by role play, what can I do?
If another Jammer has raided your role play with extra unexpected Jammers, you can add the cast of your role play as buddies then lock your den to remove anyone who is not your buddy. However, be sure to select the correct setting otherwise you could accidentally remove everyone.
What if I cannot find a prop or item I desperately need for the role play?
Check the shops dotted around the world, and if you're still struggling to find the perfect item then you can try the Market Place. However, the items may be a little bit more expensive, especially if they are a rarer item or it's an item that is out of season.
What if I don't have enough in game currency to buy props or items for the role play?
You can sell some items you either don't need or don't use anymore if you have a shop available to use. If that's not an option, you can play minigames or recycle unwanted items to generate a larger supply of in game currency to use.
I've finished acting in my roleplay, how do I wrap it up?
You can announce to the Jammers participating that ‘it's a wrap’ or anything on similar lines to that. You can even just say ‘the role play is now over, thank you for participating!’ However, be sure to thank the Jammers who helped make your role play come to life as if you leave and go offline suddenly, they may be confused about what is happening.
Happy roleplaying!
