Dirty Tricks

To get this picture, I played a dirty trick on Clem. As tricks go, it was pretty simple, but it was effective. Most of the good tricks, in my opinion, are simple. What are some of the really good tricks you have pulled off, or been victim of, in game?

Lurch

On occasion, we encounter an character who is a bit of lurch. Someone like this guy: A character who is either stupid or willfully obtuse. Dealing with a lurch is no different than dealing with any other difficult character. Some might scream at a lurch, some may ignore a lurch while others just love their [...]

One More Time: RP is a Celebration

  Tru fax:  If you play Daft Punk, Bika dances. I bring this point up not just because Daft Punk is in the air, but because–like dancing and celebrations–RP is something you do with other people.  When we RP, even in WoW, we are interacting with each other.  The only “bad” RP is where you [...]

Open Thread: This is How it Ends

Wrath ended with a bang:  By killing Arthas.  It is far too early in Cata’s to accurately predict how this expac will end (though I think we all have an idea), but to be fair, those of us at WTTRP care about the overarching plot of WoW in how it relates to our own stories. [...]

Everyone’s a Hero (In Their Own Way)

(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.
