Playing the straightman or woman can be an amazing comedy experience. Knight Captain Haylie Dannis, who is playing the lone “straight” cop in Old Town is a darker, vaguely comedic, experience. Usually, the joke is on her. Since SI:7′s recent decision to focus on The Riders, she gets to deliver the message TO the riders. [...]

Recently, someone at SI:7 made a move against the Wildfire Riders. At the expense of Arrens, they trumped up some charges and sent Tarquin running to Dalaran. That was the first move. Petty bureaucrats and lower-status gangs then started nibbling at the Rider’s flanks. It is not a good time to wear the Black and [...]

Aelflaed “Uther’s Balls, Bert. I thowt ye… an’ Stratholme. An’ ye foun’ me here? … bloody hell.” She stood up, looking him clean in the face, eye to eye, before looking away. “Aye, bloody hell’s about the size of it. Been through it once, looks like tomorrow we get to do it all again. How [...]

There is no doubt the the lore of WoW is rich, diverse and, at times, convoluted. Lore is documented in comics, RPG products, quests and web. And as rich as the Lore is, there is still room to develop one’s own lore–previously defined as Loretastic!. Sometimes, Loretastic! needs a push from an outside source… Regular [...]

Death isn’t permanent in Azeroth. Except when it is permanent (Fordring’s child, for instance). How do we handle “dying” in an instance versus “dying” in an RP story? How do any protagonists or villains in our stories stay dead when any two bit paladin, priest, shaman or druid can resurrect them? I’ll be honest, we [...]

Bitter Frustration by *JRinaldi on deviantART As beautiful as WoW is, the mechanics of the game limit certain scenes. The stock emotes may not adequately demonstrate a characters particular quirks, and /em does not make a toon move in a particular fashion. Sometimes, these limitations encourage players to develop their writing ability–to show how the [...]

For reference, here’s the track: In any discussion of music and character, I always default to this song being perfect for Bricu–my trickster in paladin plate–and today I’m going to spell out why. First, I have a confession. I came to the conculsion that Dirty Old Town was Bricu’s song while I was visiting people [...]

The lands of Lordaeron were damaged–nearly beyond repair–by Arthas and his betrayal of Lordaeron. While the scars on the land are visible to everyone who plays WoW past level 55, the damage done to the psyche of the Northmen is more subtle. Few groups cry for justice louder than the people whose lives were ruined [...]
