Wrathgate Wednesday: Epic Battle

Open Thread! Tell us about your RP Epic Battle! Was it a scene carefully choregraphed, involving PVP and PVE elements, or was it collaborative fic? What was your favorite scene? Or, what kind of Epic Battle would you like to run? Would it be character or plot driven? Does it involve the WoW meta plot? [...]

Double header Friday Fic! Yva & Fells

I completely blame Too Many Annas for this extra post, and you should too! ***** Yva looked at her houseplant. It drooped pathetically. That was likely in part thanks to the chomp marks along the lower branches where Stumpy’d had his chew-fit, but the heat wasn’t helping matters either. She picked up her fan and [...]

Friday Fic: Niall and Naiara.

Speaking of Naiara, there’s been some chatter about “What the Rider children would be like when they’re older.” This is a story about Niall Balthasar talking with Naiara Bittertongue. ***** There was a thud as the boots hit the floor behind him. He was in the sixth row, hidden behind books stacked nearly to the [...]

Bittertongues at War

Naiara Bittertongue exists as a series of emotes, drawings and exquisitely timed phonetically spelled swear words. She doesn’t have a class. She has no profession. She does not even have an avatar. She does, however, consume a significant amount of RP. In return, she generates more than her fair share of Bricu/Threnn stories, ideas and [...]

The Obligatory WTT:[RP] Real ID Post

Everyone else is doing it, so why don’t we catch up to that there bandwagon and hop on? (Disclaimer: this is only my take on it. Yva’s and Bricu’s opinions/experiences may vary.) Unless you’ve been away from the game, by now you’ve heard all about the new Real ID system Blizzard has implemented. If you [...]

Lessons from Wrathgate

So you have this epic plot idea based around an in-game event. How do you handle it? The Wrathgate Project was one way of dealing with it: Organized fiction. There is, of course, another way: Organize an RP session after the In Game Event. This would be a one shot, In Game RP event that [...]

Audience Participation Double Header!

Don’t worry, cats ‘n’ kittens, I haven’t forgotten about the next post in the “running an RP event” series.  However, since I’m running behind today, I sent out the HALP I NEED A TOPIC signal, and got two very good questions: From that Fellsabucket: “How do you balance out personal like/dislike for a character between [...]

Content Lull 2: Sneaky Saturday

Thursday, we started a discussion on filling the Content Lull. Epic Story lines appear to be a great idea for a lull; however, unless you have brilliant timing and superb organizational skills, Epic Story can turn into Epic Fail. For the Lull, a smaller, more personal solution, may be in order. If you are feeling [...]

Turn That Content Lull into RP Awesome: Part 1

Hey there Fellow RPer! Let’s be honest with each other for a minute. When we create, tell or participate in a storyline, we are creating our own content in Blizzard’s setting. While our content may not have the same game-play mechanics as an encounter or a boss fight–although, if someone tried to orchestrate a Sindragosa-esque [...]
