Add-On Love

By | January 4, 2010

We’ve mentioned several RP add-ons here, most notably FlagRSP, but I don’t think we’ve yet put together a comprehensive list for you lot.  So, since I’m in a list-making mood, let’s talk about a few of the ones that might enhance your RP experience. First and foremost are the Description Add-ons.  These add-ons let you [...]

In Someone Else’s Shoes

By | December 28, 2009

That’s how the saying goes: “Walk a mile in my shoes and you’ll understand.”  A lot of times IC conflicts start because two people are seeing an issue from two different angles, and — just as it happens IRL — those characters’ backstories and current situations color the way they approach those points of contention. [...]

Friday Fiction: Winter Veil

By | December 25, 2009

((I wrote this for Bricu last year, but I can’t remember if I ever posted it anywhere.  Happy Winter Veil to all!)) Dalaran was covered in lights.  Threnn was tired of the cold, tired of the snow, but here, with the reds and blues and greens reflecting from every window, she didn’t mind it so [...]

Audience Participation Time!

By | December 21, 2009

Point the first: if you’re not reading Bricu’s thread, “Disappointment,” which he stealth-posted on Saturday, you’re missing out.  Go on over and join the discussion of Jaina Proudmoore v. 2.0. Stemming from a few of the comments there about the relative scarcity of strong female characters in fantasy, I thought this would be a good [...]

Swamped!

By | December 14, 2009

I’m suffering from an RL case of Being Swamped today, so I’m foisting some homework on you lot: Tell us about a time when your character was swamped — with work, with troubles, with good things or bad — and how he or she dealt with it. For example:  Annalea acts as Tarquin’s secretary, dealing [...]

Chainmail Bikinis: It’s About Choice

By | December 7, 2009

WoW.com published an article about “Gender differences in armor” over the weekend.  In it, Mike Schramm responds to a post at The Border House that delves into the several of the armor sets that cover up the male characters, but when equipped on a female avatar, they become nothing more than bras, thongs and thigh-highs. [...]

Wrathgate Wednesday: Knight-Captain Dannis

By | December 2, 2009

((Haylie Dannis is one of Stormwind’s Finest.  She and the Riders have butted heads a time or three, but she’s doing what’s fair and just to the best of her abilities.  Including being shipped up North to fight at Angrathar.)) It seemed as if she had been staring at the hilltop for an hour now. [...]

It Came from the Keywords!

By | December 1, 2009

I thought I’d take a peek at recent keywords that led people to WTT:[RP] for some posting inspiration.  Most of them are fairly mundane, including variations on wtt and rp and a few hits that I’m guessing were people searching for some quest help.  A few that amused me: the dwarf tears the scarecrow apart [...]

Pilgrim’s Bounty

By | November 23, 2009

All right, I admit it — all I’ve done so far with Pilgrim’s Bounty is plop down at a table, eat, and throw food at people (Lyr, at Rosie, which probably would have been IC if we weren’t trying to snag 74 before a Naxxramas run…) But the quest text that introduces the holiday has [...]

RP Wishlists

By | November 10, 2009

Every now and then, something will drop in a dungeon that no one really needs, statwise.  The next option, before sharding? “Roll for fashion.” There are plenty of items in the game that just plain look cool, but their stats are wrong for your spec, or they’re the wrong armor type — a tank in [...]
