Where It All Started: Not Quite D&D

By | April 24, 2012

When Bricu asked where it all started, I recalled my own first video game RPG. Among the racing games and the side-scrollers in the pile of used Nintendo games my dad had brought home was this adventure game called Dragon Warrior. My friends and I played it for most of a summer, to the point [...]

Shiny and New

By | April 11, 2012

…but still the devils you know. As Bricu hinted at a few weeks ago, WTT: [RP] is getting a bit of an overhaul. World of Warcraft — and Feathermoon specifically — has been our home and our primary RP place for the last *mumbledycough* years, but it’s a wide ol’ world of RP out there, [...]

Roleplayers: NOT Mary Sues by Default

By | October 11, 2011

Bricu called today’s WoWInsider Breakfast Topic to my attention, and by the end of the first sentence, I felt the urge to smite rising. Andrew Ross begins his “Have You Ever Seen Anyone RP a Peon” post with… a slam against RPers: Let’s face it — most roleplayers are heroes, villians, peerless veterans, or other [...]

Everyone’s a Hero (In Their Own Way)

By | December 20, 2010

(Okay, I couldn’t resist the Dr. Horrible reference. Today’s guest post is from the Riders’ favorite half-faced, surly elf, Illithias.  Like a night elf, Illi has blue hair IRL and it is awesome.  I can neither confirm nor deny whether or not IRL Illi bounces when idle for long periods of time. On our forums, [...]

It seems that Illi’s excellent post about using your professions in RP got linked on wow.com’s The Daily Quest today.  So, to the newcomers, welcome!  We hope you’ll poke around a bit, find some neat things, and stay awhile. A [...]

From the Mailbag

By | August 16, 2010

Or mailbox.  Or inbox.  Mail thingy. I received an email from Jan this morning asking, Unfortunately, I’m one of those avid wow players who haven’t received any cataclysm beta invites! Do you think it’s wise to just wait for the release? Because some people say playing the cataclysm beta will eventually remove the fun in [...]

Recurring Themes

By | August 2, 2010

Think back over the last few story arcs your characters have been part of.  Or, if you’re thinking up a new character, take a moment and think about some of the stories you’d like them to participate in. Are there any sorts of common threads you notice when you consider those plots?  What about the [...]

Stuff of Legends

By | July 27, 2010

Hey. Hey you. Do you like good books?  Do you like books in which there is ass-kicking, magic, hot elf chicks, evil wizards, bards, pissed-off dragons, and famous warriors?  Do you like laughing so hard people give you funny looks on public transportation? Then you probably ought to go pick up Stuff of Legends by [...]

Monday Afternoon Fun: The Box

By | July 12, 2010

Upon returning home at the end of the night, your character finds… a box before his or her door.  It’s rather common-looking, as boxes go — a simple wooden crate, about two feet on a side.  There are no markings telling its point of origin, but your name’s stamped in big, block letters right on [...]
