Friday Fiction: Excursion ‘Round the Bay

((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 meted [...]

This is the End

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.

Rounding out the top: The Three Most Important Factors of RP

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 [...]

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 [...]
