Resources for Roleplayers and those curious about TESO Roleplay

Hello TESO Adventurers!

I'm looking to create a resource thread for the roleplay community of ESO and potential new members of the community. This is our thread, so if you have anything to add, post it below!

My roleplay experiences are mostly on the PC Platform, North American Megaserver, Ebonheart Pact, so my resources reflect what I know here. If you are on the European Megaserver or another platform I'd love to hear of what resources the roleplay communities there have.


Getting started with Roleplay.

If you have never dipped into the world of roleplaying, I suggest you start out by watching TheHumanFloyd's video series Roleplaying in MMOs: A Beginner's guide. That will get you started with the concepts of collaborate story telling and will help you be welcomed into the community quickly.

Next, there are several forum resources I will list below. To find the roleplay community, look at the calendars and event schedules, and bring your character there. Watch for a while, learn and study. If you feel brave, start to have conversation with someone. Roleplayers are generally friendly folks who will want to help you get your feet into the community, so if you have any questions about what they are doing, feel free to send one of them a tell and ask.

It might take some time to get comfortable with your character, and how they would act. Practice makes perfect, and do not fret about making mistakes.

Finally you might consider joining a roleplay themed guild. There are many to choose from and they all sport their own theme. Finding a match will depend on the kind of character you wan to play and the stories you want to enjoy. If you are not sure of a good match, the "Looking for guild" section on teso-rp is a great place to seek advice.

The forum resources I list below are a wealth of information and guides. I would invite you to explore them all thoroughly.


TESO Roleplay resources

The Elder Scrolls Online Roleplay Community - This is the central hub for finding roleplay resources in ESO. There are subforums for general discussions, lore discussions, events, guilds, character profiles and even a roleplay classifieds section to find specific roles one could fill.

The Children of Skyrim is a hub for Skyrim roleplay. This is also where I spend most of my roleplay time. We do community events, and encourage our Skyrim themed guilds to interact with each other.

Chronicles of Morrowind is the hub for Morrowind roleplay. Dunmer House guilds and everything Morrowind uses this hub to interact with each other and create some fun events and stories.


Individual guilds also tend to run their own website for their guild, they are often found in the guild listings forums on each of the respective hubs above.

Now, fellow roleplayers, I could use your help. Let me know if there are other major roleplay hubs I am missing in this list. Is there similar ones for the EU servers? What about the Altmeri Dominion and Daggerfall, do they have similar hubs as Ebonheart?

    sounds like a great resource, I always wanted to try RP ingame but am embarrassed by my lack of knowledge on how to effectively RP, and my voice/speech patterns... (PS4)

    I'd like to have a good roleplay group to run with now that all my "friends" from my PvP guild abandoned ship for Destiny. Should I start one for Xbox NA EP or is there a good one someone could recommend? Also, if anyone on Xbox from any alliance needs help with in-game dialects I can tutor you.

    Wow, I am finding Guildies all over the place here now that I've decided to start lurking this section XD.

    I'll get with Holes when I see him later and see what's happening with the Black Marsh Confluence. It's a hub for Argonian RPers and is basically to Black Marsh what Chronicles of Morrowind is to Morrowind. I'm not exactly sure how active it's been though, as I admit I haven't been on there for a while since A-X has been so active lately.

    And you reminded me that I need to visit the TESORP site and actually get my lazy arse signed up lol.

    Great job on this, Tailger!

    stormrp.enjin.com is the EU DC hub site.

    eprj.enjin.com is the EU EP site.

    and EU AD does not currently have a site. Might be a good idea to throw up UESP for lore reference too!
