NinSheetMusic Role-Playing Game

Dear members of NinSheetMusic,

Six years ago, on April 14th, 2005, three members of NinSheetMusic, Aquanistic, Darth Makar, and LinkFreak (later replaced by JaMaHa, NinSheetMusic's current administrator) banded together and created what was to be called Nintendo Sheet Music Role-Playing Game (more commonly known to its own members as NSM or NSM RPG; its original home site can be found here and the forums themselves can be found here), a forum-based Zelda RPG for fans of the legendary video game series in which they could role-play as canon characters from the game series or even as their own original characters.

Although NSM RPG originally started off small it very quickly grew to high numbers in the first year alone; often it was impossible to find less than ten active members (of over 73) on at a time. Unfortunately, shortly after NSM RPG's second anniversary, in the summer of 2007, member numbers dropped drastically for unknown reasons, leaving the entire active member count in the teen to twenty range. Sadly, the activity began to grow worse and worse until all that remained were approximately eight active members, some new, some veterans from the very start of the RPG.

In the same year that activity began to fall, I joined NSM under the username Daphne Nohansen Hyrule (later Captain Barbossa due to password issues), clueless at the time as to what an ‘RPG’ was. Thankfully, I quickly learned, and even more quickly grew to love NSM RPG as a game and as a whole community.

From my first days as a member of NinSheetMusic Role-Playing Game, I grew further and further dedicated to the forum that I had joined. Even after I was enraged by the staff several times, I found that I just couldn’t leave the site. Eventually, I was admitted into the RPG’s staff as a moderator. I was offered the position of administrator once, but even with my dedication, I held back so that I could focus on school.

NSM RPG has passed through nine chapters (or overlaying arcs that dictate major storylines) and is on its tenth chapter now. Three full sets of staffs took their turns, leading NSM RPG through four years of incredibly low activity.

However, as of the sixth anniversary of NSM RPG, the staff of the role-playing game announced that an entirely new staff system in order to resolve numerous issues that arose between members often. Soon after, voting for an entirely new staff opened, and on the first anniversary of NSM RPG’s tenth chapter (its longest yet to date) the new staff was revealed, and I found myself with the position of administrator.

As the administrator of NSM RPG, I have provided several improvements to the site (such as restoring the forum’s affiliate box that links to NinSheetMusic), and now I am seeking to raise the number of members we have. Though I do not anticipate on restoring their numbers to what they once were, it is in fact my goal. I sincerely hope that you will really look at NSM RPG, and perhaps join our role-playing community.

Thank you so much for reading,

...the Hell is this? Well, that's one way to deliver a PSA.

I don't feel like reading all this. Can someone sum it up.

[Roz~]

Wish I could, but tl;dr.

Pretty much it's some Zelda RPG branched off of Ninsheetmusic which died in about 2007 for some reason.

He's trying to get members.

Also lol, Jub's the most recent member, and he hasn't been there since April 14.

Thanks Greg! :3

[Dude]

...no.

Sorry, I just don't think RPing is fun anymore. Oh, I also dislike Zelda with a passion.

That reminds me, I should be more active on VGV.

Ha yea, I remember going "what is this" and clicking on the RPG link once

But sorry, not really an RP guy at all.

The link to NinSheetMusic on the main page is innacurate.

[NasiDe]

Please provide me with a copy of the link that you found, where you found it, and a copy of what it should be. I need to fix that ASAP if it is incorrect.

[Winter]

Here on the bottom right of the page it says " http://www.ninsheetmusic.tk/" whan it should be "http://www.ninsheetm.us/"

Thanks.

[NasiDe]

Ah, in regards to the Freewebs page, I have no control over that. It is extremely old, out-of-date, and no longer in use. In fact, I'm in the process of planning a replacement website for that right now.

[Winter]

Well that's too bad. Shout at me if you need anything.

[KefkaticFanatic]

Ahaha oh wow, that's the address from before there was even ninsheetmusic.net.  Ancient.
