I’ve had these two notes on my desk for close to five years now. Look: A long, long while back, I was writing a story for Davien and wanted to refer back to how she felt about… something. I’m not even entirely sure what it was, though looking at the mention on there that Anduin [...]
I’ve been laid out with an IRL case of the plague all weekend, so today, let’s have fun with screenshots! Your mission: caption this action shot I found deep within my screenshot folder! (Clicky for a larger version)
Part of fleshing out a character’s backstory is taking a look at what people played a significant part in his or her life — parents and guardians, siblings, relatives, friends, old flames. What impact did they have on his upbringing? If she lost someone early on, did that cause her to look for others to [...]
((This is the first part of a collaboration between Tarquin’s player and myself. What do criminals do when they go on vacation? It was suggested to Tarquin that he needed to take some time off and regain his balance — though his interpretation is probably very different from what Alishe had in mind when she [...]
First off, let me preface this with a big ol’ warning: for those of you on Cataclysm blackout, now is the time to flee! Look over there! The World’s Laziest Kitteh! (Blame Gharr for the cute.) Now, we know that the world of Azeroth that, for some of us, we could probably traverse in our [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
I am stuck in meetings all afternoon, so I thought today could be audience participation day! As we all know from the constant spraying of perfume and the hovering presence of Peddlefeet (/grumblemutter), Love is in the Air is back. So write me a story: have any of your characters ever had a secret admirer? [...]
When you’re creating a character, it’s often easy to think about the traits that make him cool to hang out with, or to figure out what abilities she prides herself on. But what about the things that make her feel self-conscious or insecure? What does your character dread will get pointed out about him? These [...]
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 [...]
