A lot of the time, when I create a character, I have a pretty solid idea of who he or she is. I know a good chunk of the backstory, the personality, and maybe even a story goal or two from the start. But sometimes, it takes a little longer to get into a character’s [...]

Back in the day, when I interned at a publishing house, I learned to fake interest in listening to people’s characters. I dont’ have the same problem with World of Warcraft. This has to do, primarily, with the fact that most WoW players I’ve met want to talk stats, strageties and theorcraft. WTT:RP isn’t really [...]

All things must end. One day, maybe years from now, Blizzard will shut down the last of the World Of Warcraft servers and we will be forced to move from one environment to another. While that does not mean the end of your character, it does mark the end of WoW itself. Between now and [...]

Soundtracks are not just for television and movies. RPers, even table toppers, use soundtracks to emphasis the action (or drama) of their games. For their part, Blizzard has gone to great lenghts to create a soundtrack for our characters. Each zone has music that is perfectly fitted to it. Our characters need to look elsewhere [...]

On another blog I frequent, I try to post some sort of creative writing (fiction, non fiction, whatever) project that I worked on over the week. For WTT:RP’s first friday, I’m putting up part one of (draft one) of some RP Backstory tentatively titled Brunch. This is a rough draft and it is currently my [...]
