Supernatural roleplay keeps one foot in a recognizable, modern-ish world and the other in something hidden underneath it — a secret order, a monster the rest of the world doesn’t believe in, a power your Character has to keep quiet about.
What tends to fall under this tag
- Urban fantasy — magic hidden inside an otherwise contemporary setting
- Monster-focused stories, from the sympathetic to the genuinely threatening
- Powers-and-secrets premises, where the tension comes from who knows what
Writing a supernatural Character on MYRPW
Supernatural stories live or die on how much the world knows. Use your Character’s bio and story history to establish how public or hidden their nature is — it’s the single detail a writing partner needs before a scene can start.
Finding your setting
Check Communities for Worlds with supernatural lore already in place, or search Writing Partners for a Character built for the kind of hidden-world story you want to tell.
