((So Feathermoon used to have EPIC world PvP battles at Tarren Mill, to the point we crashed the server. Frequently. One week, I decided I’d fic about what my character would do if everything froze. Here was the result. Ta!)) The world went dark. One moment, Tarren Mill, Melciah, and the threat of imminent Alliance [...]
—Thanks to Anna for this idea. It’s been mentioned here before: Too much Dark, Heavy RP tends to drag down RP all together. Even incredibly dark stories like The Road have moments of levity and joy. An equally problematic style, one that we haven’t delved in too deeply, is the “Super Happy Fun” style. The [...]
The Wildfire Riders – Tarquin by *JRinaldi on deviantART Once or twice a day, WTT:RP gets a hit with the following key words, “Tarquin, Wildfire Riders, Feathermoon.” Tarquin is the Thief-in-Chief of the Wildfire Riders. He’s a conman, a bloke with a sharp knife and a witty bastard. While Tarquin’s main ICly posts occur later, [...]
So you have a character, it’s your main, and you want to RP it. Things happen, good things, with someone else’s character. Everything looks like it’s going swimmingly! Until you realize that the person your character has clicked with is someone’s tertiary alt, and they intend to invest limited time into it. The problem of [...]
(Bricu and Threnn have been together for three years now. This, in addition to “A Bottle of Port to Court Your Daughter,” is one of their first stories.) I shouldn’t want this… She traces a finger along his scars, old battle wounds and new, connecting them, finding patterns, careful not to wake him. The first [...]
Wherein we learn to roll with, and profit from, our mistakes Mistakes happen. Characters and Players make them. More often than not, these can be corrected with a quick apology or a few words in an OoC channel. RetCons–out of character fixes for a major blunder–are tempting , especially if the mistake catches flak that [...]
The Wildfire Riders – Bellesta by *JRinaldi on deviantART Kaldorei. Night Elves. They have a majesty that comes across even in the heart of battle. Their druids are noble and wise. Sentinels define stoicism. There are, of course, exceptions to these portrayals–and of course those exceptions find a home in the Wildfire Riders. In a [...]
The WoW-internets were abuzz this week with speculation over whether some leaked Hallow’s End masks in the upcoming patch might have unintentionally spilled forthcoming playable races (goblins and worgen, if you’ve been hiding under a rock in the Barrens). There were mixed feelings on the subject (see the lovely Anna’s rant for some very valid [...]
I think one of the challenges of playing an RP couple is keeping things fresh. If I wanted to have a long conversation about who’s supposed to take out the trash today, I’ll just look at the guy ten feet away and ask him about it. My imaginary friends don’t need these types of interactions, [...]
Yva Darrows and Jak Balthasar are a couple that simply shouldn’t be, but for reasons Yva’s player can’t even quite wrap her mind around, they work incredibly well together. Enjoy. ***** She didn’t wake gracefully. There were odd days here and there when morning light struck her face and she felt vibrant and ready to [...]
