No, I am not quoting the Doors. I am not deleting Bricu nor am I ending my run on WTTRP. I’m talking about the end, the conclusion, of stories.
I have a problem with endings. I think I can hook a players into a story. With enough time and participation, I can [...]

We here at WTTRP have mentioned communication more times than we’ve run Naxx. We cannot stress enough how important it is to communicate (and communicate WELL) with the people in your circle. Despite our posts, and beliefs, communication is not the most important aspect of RP. I believe that there is a [...]

Back in the day I took a course on Educational Psychology. According to my professor, the key to knowing what intervention to use when working with a particular kid was timing. My professor felt so strongly about the idea of timing that he wrote a song about it. [...]

New for 2010 by =Loreli-AngelofDeath on deviantART
Loreli, from Angel of Death Studios, isn’t a Wildfire Rider. She’s the head of Security for Arrens’ Stormwind University. While relatively new to our circle on Feathermoon, Lore isn’t a rookie when it comes to RP. She’s held her own against bastards, con men, ghosts and crazy people. In Real [...]

No, I do not mean the human racial. I mean how do you perceive your characters? Do you think of her as a badass in plate/cloth/with a sword or “Captain Awesome with a Sensitive Side?” Did you make a bastard? A Nutter (Bricu slang for a crazy person)? A [...]

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 give [...]

The take-away point, dear readers, from Falconesse’s last post is choice. Players, regardless of gender, should be allowed to choose what their characters, regardless of gender, wear. I do not think it would hurt Blizz’s bottom line to introduce MORE customization to avatars. While WoW is the King of MMOs, this does not mean [...]

Some consider rape to be just another word. That rape, generally regarded as a terrible thing, and yet generic enough to exist in casual conversation, is a hallmark of our culture. Sentences like: “The Horde totally raped us in AV!” or “Man, we totally raped Yoggie last night!” imply that rape is a graphic, but [...]

—Thanks to Anna for this idea.
It’s been mentioned here before: Too much Dark, Heavy RP tends to drag down RP all together. Even incredibly dark stories like The Road have moments of levity and joy. An equally problematic style, one that we haven’t delved in too deeply, is the “Super Happy Fun” [...]

This weekend, my computer is going to be off while I enjoy the company of the rest of the Want To Trade: RP folk. We’ll be out in the sunshine (or light drizzle, I haven’t checked for Seattle’s weather), talking WoW, Real Life and drinking. Oh, there will be drinking. There will be minor updates–we’re [...]
