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 about [...]

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. [...]

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.
