What are some good themes to use for an rp?
I am old-fashioned. I like main roleplay themes with headers and topbars and lots of room for links and information on the main. I like themes that have wide entries and are easy to navigate. Since I’m very traditional, a lot of my choices are older themes which may need tweaking with the new Tumblr coding restraints.With that in mind, here are my recs:
octomoosey
compact [Theme 61]
psycho [Theme 52]
thecaptainknowsbest
National Anthem Theme
The Walking Dead Theme
Theme Basado en Kingdom of Arlandria
hellolittlered
Theme 26. Resiliens (the d/l for this one is a little weird)
Theme 25. Chasing Summer (the d/l for this one is a little weird, too)

The other thing you’ll notice about all the themes I choose is that the entry timestamps and tags are really visible. I like information to be displayed clearly and prominently on a page, so accessible entry data is a must for me.
Speaking as someone who looks over a lot of Harry Potter roleplays to keep the Harry Potter Roleplay Directory updated, I like easy access to Plot, Character, Application, and Navigation pages, and I like to know how often the roleplay updates. It makes no sense to me to hide roleplay information behind fad themes or gimmick visuals. People are coming to your main looking for that information. Why make it hard to find? Be as open and clear as possible. That has always been my perspective on themes, and I think the most successful Harry Potter roleplays work hard to presentinformation as concisely and beautifully as they can without sacrificing clarity.
Thank you for owling in with your question.I hope your future Harry Potter roleplay theme is here. I will continue to update this list as I find more themes that could work for a main.
King regards,
