Anna has (or will have) a story up, based on the Shakedown Story Idea post from a few weeks back. Be fore-warned: This story is more awesome than legal in certain States (I’m looking at you, Utah).
We here at WTTRP have mentioned communication more times than we’ve run Naxx. We cannot stress enough how important it is to communicate (and communicate WELL) with the people in your circle. Despite our posts, and beliefs, communication is not the most important aspect of RP. I believe that there is a three way tie [...]
Welcome to another installment of the collaborative fic event hosted by the Wildfire Riders. The collapse of the Ballistae line and increased pressure on the line has Tarquin calling for a retreat. The problem is getting the call heard. While Tarq runs, Aely is down in the thick of the fighting on the field. She [...]
Let’s say you had, in a rose-colored world, extra character slots (if you’ve run out of them), an itch to bring an NPC to life, and an extra few hours a week to devote to WoW for the playing of that new alt. What NPCs of yours would you turn into PCs? Or, if you’re [...]
Timing
By Bricu | February 18, 2010
http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwarby/ / CC BY 2.0 Back in the day I took a course on Educational Psychology. According to my professor, the key to knowing what intervention to use when working with a particular kid was timing. My professor felt so strongly about the idea of timing that he wrote a song about it. He also [...]
Another Wednesday, another look into the collaborative fiction of the Wildfire Riders. Last week, a Crypt Lord erupted at the Ballistae lines, forcing the riders to rethink their plans. Yva’s ritual, combining all three schools of magic, is nearly ready. Meanwhile, the Al’Cair sisters, one at the front and one at the Ballistae, are witnessing [...]
RPGs, by their nature, are fraught with conflict. From the very first time you log in, your character has threats to overcome. As you gain levels and delve further into the story, the threats grow bigger and scarier. And as we’ve seen with expansions and new content patches, just when you think you’ve righted the [...]
Righto folks, here’s the deal: Your assignment, should you chose to accept it, is to write up how your character was approached by an indidivual of questionable standing (the Riders are using Bricu) and asked to impose themselves in the way of a shakedown (searching a building, taking someone into custody, obessively looking into your [...]
In my real world job, I have a supervisor, a deputy chief and, finally, a chief. That’s my chain of command. Most jobs have a similar structure: field staff, middle management and those in charge. Other organizations have “chains of command” that vary between a strict chain and “nice sounding titles.” A chain of command, [...]
Welcome to another edition of Wrathgate Wendesday! This week, we take more examples of collaborative Fic and RP from the Wildfire Riders expedition to the Wrathgate. The Riders, under the command of Tarquin, are manning a Ballistae perch far from the front lines. That does not mean things will be easy. In fact, a Crypt [...]
