Friday Fiction: Apple Picking

~Late fall~ Bricu’s flannel-lined denim and thick wool sweater were a different set of armor for a different sort of job. Instead of a sword or an axe, his weapons of choice were two large wicker baskets. One was suitable for a large number of late season apples, the other hefty enough to carry branches [...]

Godmodding and You

Fellow Feathermooninite and fantastic blogger, Ovistine, tweeted her frustrations regarding a topic that many an RP has faced: Godmodding. This is the practice of forcing another character into a thought, or behavior, against their will. Common examples of this can be found in FlagRSPs: “As you gaze upon Pretty Pretty Princess, you are drawn to [...]

Today’s Post is Thataway

The Lovely Anna is busy this week, and thus, guest posts!  Today’s WTT:[RP] post is over at the Annas, where I talk a bit about why you very rarely see the leader crown on my head in instances (unless, y’know, someone DC’d and the game passed the hat automatically, in which case I’m at my [...]

The Absolute Value of Badass: A Meditation

If you’re an old school nerd, this question is one you have probably pondered for ages: Who would win in a fight, X or Y? Nerds can go on for hours about why their candidate–be it comic book character, Starship captain or Operating Syste–is the most bad ass example of awesome ever conceived. In short, [...]

Wrathgate Wednesday: Late Late Edition

Wednesdays on WTTRP is to show case how the Wildfire Riders addressed the Wrathgate Cinematic as a guild. Tarquin is the Boss of the Riders. It was his call to work with the Alliance to put an end to Arthas at Ice Crown, and his speech that inspired the Riders in the initial push. He’s [...]

It’s Over! Now what?

So things happen in game life that we can’t count on. Sometimes people have to suddenly cancel their accounts, sometimes there are disagreements between players that we can’t anticipate, sometimes people decide they’d rather do other things than roleplay with their game time.

How Do You Do It?

I have a question for you, dear reader. How do you write up your character’s in-game powers? For paladins, do you pray for the Holy Light to Smite, Hold or Heal? Does your mage call on complex arcane formula’s to reign fire down on her enemies heads, or is it a more innate power? Is [...]

Friday Fiction: The Troll That Never Was

I’ve always been fascinated by the troll race in Warcraft, partially because of what we do know about them, but mostly because of what we don’t know. Blizzard has not given us a ton of information about the loa, but what I had read I found very interesting. This was a fiction I did for [...]

Perception

No, I do not mean the human racial. I mean how do you perceive your characters? Do you think of her as a badass in plate/cloth/with a sword or “Captain Awesome with a Sensitive Side?” Did you make a bastard? A Nutter (Bricu slang for a crazy person)? A saint? A psycho? Make a note [...]
