Lore as Backstory

First off, a reminder — there’s just under a week left in the Midsummer Night’s RP Writing Contest.  Get  your entries in!
Bricu talked about a character’s knowledge of  WoW lore and how to fit that knowledge into RP.  I’d like to explore another aspect of that — how to fit lore into a character’s backstory.
Sure, [...]

Returning to my roots.

When I rolled on Feathermoon oh so many years ago now, I was a horde undead mage.  I played with an rp raid, I was in an rp guild, and everything about my experience was rp-centric.  When Bad Things Happened (much drama I won’t reiterate for your sanity and mine), I came alliance side.  Friends here, [...]

Friday Fiction: The Good Old Days

Today’s friday fiction is the first of many collaborative writing efforts between Bricu and Threnn. Three years on, its still one of my favorite stories.

Wrathgate Wednesday: Dunnwanna Edition

Not every one at Wrathgate wants to be there. Of those who have answered the call of duty, some are going for justice, some are going for gold and others are going because their loved ones are there. Anna, Threnn’s younger sister, has her own reasons for going to Wrathgate. This is her [...]

Cry Moar Raid N00b.

Lazy Yva is Lazy, and I’m terribly sorry about that. Why? Mostly because I’ve been taking a much needed hiatus from Warcraft lately. Summer’s here, the outdoors is nice, and I own a house and a dog. Nough said, I think.
HOWEVER. I still log on to raid and get my rp on, so lemme get [...]

Sources of Inspiriation

Most of the best RP I’ve ever participated in was impromptu. All I need to have is an understanding of my character. This prepared me to RP just about any situation when I walk him into the Pig and Whistle when RP night is declared. There are times when just knowing the character is [...]

Friday Fiction: What the Shadows Hide (part two)

Kyree Stonemantle (and to a lesser extent, her brother Jessen) have been on my mind a lot lately.  This is the next part of “What the Shadows Hide”.

Jessen edged down the hall, a candle held out in front of him, Kyree crowding him from behind, Thrall keeping pace at his side. The flame threw [...]
