After thinking about the best approach and how I wanted to do this, I have started a Community called “Antagonistic Roleplay Collaboration Hive”. This is cross-faction and cross-realm if I set it up right.
The general idea of it lines up with some of what’s been discussed here. Give the writers of grim narratives a chance to meet and set something up, point each other to events and guilds, allow guilds to recruit, discuss dark RP, etc.
All standard MG RP rules apply so I don’t need to go into that a lot. I have thought a lot about how to address the ERP situation and my thoughts are it’s not something I want people coming in here looking for. I just don’t want to get overrun by that.
Looking for a few core people who can just get involved with this and add any ideas they can think of. I’m not much of a head organizer type, more of an assistant person, so this is new territory for me.
Right now, I’m leaning towards this being a 21+ thing because a lot of people have 21+ in their TRPs and also the type of writing content we’ll be getting into is likely best set for that range anyway.

That community open to anyone? My main right now, Jack, is more of an anti-hero but definitely a darker character. City RP is nice every now and again but it’d be nice to get involved in something bigger.
Anyone 21+ who’s genuinely looking for actual RP, yeah. The age rule is in place just to accommodate the many TRPs who have that requirement. Definitely slow going and I’ve advertised it in my TRP. Hoping we can get something going. I’ll be keeping a lookout, reading TRPs, and trying to see how to bring two people together.

i just added my other warlock Thejadoris.
very unconventional due to reasons beyond her control
i may add others depending on the directions the rp scenarios go. not all are grimdark, some are more jeckyll and hyde or kind of means to an end types
I will be hopping into this when I get online this evening.
The more the merrier!
Unfortunately the community feature is not a very robust thing to work with so the ways to advertise ourselves or initiate things are limited. I am open to any ideas on getting this thing going and facilitating RP for people!
Is there a discord up? If not, I might be able to convince my wife to assist in setting one up. She knows all the neat tricks with bots and stuff.

There’s a handful of us high-jacking the Duskstalker Discord (WRA based). I posted the link up top in an earlier post. But as far as a Discord associated with MG or this post, I don’t believe so. Not yet anyways.

I may or may not already be in there.

I came in here as a returning RPer looking for some dark RP groups and this sounds super exciting to me. I have a whole range of different types of characters but most lean towards the criminal aspect. I know from experience that it’s often tricky to contain a group of badasses, but I can promise that I’m way too old for drama and looking for some cool storywriting opportunities.

Welcome back!
Please let me know what I can do to facilitate your gritty evil roleplay desires, all of you! I have a few different characters and am even open to making something, too! It seems like we have a good deal of interest in this, hopefully we can capture it to make something!
The Duskwalker Covenant is allowing me to send community members to their Discord. I think this is the best thing so we don’t segment dark RP enjoyers, since they also allow cross realm, cross faction, and a variety of characters! They just don’t have a community, which we do 
all one big happy nefarious family.

They have been very accommodating in letting us crash there. It is appreciated.

Thank you, that’s very kind! This is actually my main RP character, so I’ll join the community from him although I also have lots of options for all manner of shady shenanigans!
There’s a lot of cool cats in here. Good folk. If anyone is ever on the hunt for the darker side of RP I highly suggest looking into this community.

I want in. Profit and adventure are my mo. So I am joining when I can. Oh and for the record I’m morally neutral. In the grey. That kinda thing.
