Hello and a question!
I just filled out a membership application, and thought I'd say hello here as well. I play casually and irregularly, and have been known to snark in world chat every now and then.
I realized after I filled out my application that I do have a question about Second Breakfast... does this kinship have planned RP events?
Howdy and welcome. The answer is sorta of. We have a couple smaller sub groups if you will. 1 is the appledumpling gang, and its pretty RP but not super active. 2nd is a brawler gang that runs amok punching each other mostly but light RP. Im sure others may have input here as well.

Not sure how active the Muinnor Neighborhood RP Group is, I do know that Duidhrastir has been wanting to do RP elf things lately. We have had several RP adventures, self-run by SB kinnies, notably the Appledumplings (you'll see a lot of hobbits with Apple in their name somewhere), and Drummor used to run some dwarf RP years ago.
I didn't start Appledumplings, but did run two separate Appledumpling adventures in the past (and have an idea for another hopefully soon!).
There are always a few of us who would love to RP, but it seems lately that it's been a case of "Too many players, not enough GMs".
Greetings!
The answer is .... "sort of." As Tyb said. ^^;;
In theory we have a dedicated RP sub-group, but it's been on hiatus for a few months. Beyond that, "characterization" tends to be more of "a lot of us *have* character stories & personalities, and will playfully talk "in character" in the KinChat, with frequent fourth-wall breakage."
We do have a Character Bio forum, where people post stories, fics, or screenshot montages (I happen to be an over-the-top fic chronicler of my Burglar's game story ^^).
But if you're talking about hardcore Laurelin-caliber RP .... honestly a couple of us have alts of ourselves ON Laurelin for that purpose. Second Breakfast is RP-friendly, but also RP-Lite.
If that makes sense.
Vraia is a Big Fluffy Bear.
She is the housemate of ... Applecider (Hobbit Bard) / Elladahn (Elf Champion) / Ellrohier (Elf Hunter) / Anarlossë (Human Burglar)
Home is 1 Pleasant St, Buckbank, Shire Homesteads. Drop in!

That makes sense, as do the other replies in this thread. And based on this, the RP lite taking place in this kin sounds a lot like what I'm looking for, so that makes me happy. Thanks for replying, everyone!
Full immersion / hardcore / 100%-in-character roleplay (whatever you want to call it), is one of my favorite things! However as a hobbit that's next to impossible to find, even on Laurelin.
Over the years, I've met two or three players (one was actually in SB) with whom I've been lucky enough to roleplay through large sections of the game, but that's very rare to find someone whose schedule matches yours, etc.
