So most RP’ers have FlagRSP or Immersion installed. These are mighty tools. One might say they’re a keystone to Warcraft roleplay. Problem is, there are so many bad descriptions out there you can drown in obsurdity. We’ve all seen Those RSPs but just in case you’ve missed ‘em recently? The reason I chose this particular [...]
New content is a double edged sword. On one hand, we all benefit from shiny new fun – game mechanics have changed, a new dungeon is offering new epics, and look, an Argent Tournament PvP . . . thing! Will this facilitate new RP opportunities? Absolutely! The problem ( for me at least) is - When? [...]
The Wildfire Riders are chronicling the guild’s experiences during the battle at Angra’thar, better known as the Wrathgate. There’s an ongoing thread of awesome right over here — if you have time to go catch up, I highly recommend it. Bricu started the tradition of Friday fiction, and I think stories are a great way [...]
In any RP situation, it is incumbent upon the player to know a certain amount of the setting’s lore. One doesn’t need to be a Belf or Paladin lore nerd, but a player should have a passable amount of knowledge of the setting to pass on to their character. How much a character knows will [...]
This post is a direct result of Bricu’s question here. The topic? Couples in the RP arena. First the necessary disclaimer: there are exceptions to every rule. For every not-so-shiny thing I have to say, there’s a paragon of normal out there that will prove me wrong. To those people, I salute you, admire you, and beg your [...]
The lovely Anna runs a brilliant blog about RP, hunting, Paladining, Shamaning and healing. Her blog was the first WoW blog I ever read with any regularity. Here is her first (of hopefully many) guest spots at WTT:RP! Hello, wonderful readers of WTT:RP, Anna here! Thanks to the usual writers, I’ve been given free rein [...]
The Lovely Anna linked a song the other day that has meaning for her paladin, Aely. It’s a very pretty WoW-inspired song (with machinima to go along with it!) called “Darrowshire.” Not only did watching and listening get me all sniffly, it made me nostalgic for some of the old quests and the stories that [...]
A priest friend once told the difference between a Russian Tragedy and a Russian Comedy: “In a Russian Tragedy, everyone dies. In a Russian Comedy, everyone dies happy!” I’ll be the first to admit: I flirt with the idea of ending stories with a lot of death and sadness too good to ignore. I prefer [...]
NPCs
By Bricu | April 4, 2009
Non Player Characters, everyone from a cooking trainer in a capital city to Thrall, facilitate quests and meta-plot. In personal or group RP, NPCs are also used to help establish and maintain plot. Sometimes we co-opt named NPCs like Officer Brady or Brother Sarno.* Other times, we ask other RPers to create “NPCs.” Creating NPCs [...]
