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 [...]

I’m going to be honest: I don’t get people who feel the need to come after or condescend RPers. For the past two days, the Breakfast Topic at WoW Insider has attempted to start a conversation about RP: What we do, how we do it, what mechanics we follow and why we follow those and [...]

RP is dead. This is a refrain that has been going on since before the original Naxx dropped all those years ago, and it was a ridiculous refrain even then. Just because you cannot find the RP doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. To be fair, sometimes it may seem that there is a dearth of [...]

This week, we get the real deal on Shad, the official midwife of Feathermoon. Celesse was his first. He never counted Eurydice, because no matter how she plead, promised, or punished, he always refused her that final step. No, it was the woman he chose to be his wife with whom he finally joined [...]

A few weeks ago, the GM of our guild posted a story of Tarquin entitled First, Finest and Last (FFL). This brilliant piece summarizes and presents the history of Tarq in a new, vibrant way: Discussing Tarq’s first, finest and last bosses, loves and kills. It inspired dozens of similar posts. The format changes slightly [...]

Yesterday we discussed a question that came from the Twitter feed. Spinning off from that discussion was yet another Twitter based question, this one from @_loug, “How do you find a race/class combo that’s right?” It’s a fair question, but it is a question that needs clarification.

This morning, I struggled to find an idea to post for WTTRP, so I turned to a key source of RP inspiration in the WFR circle: Fellsie. Here’s what happened: 10:04 AM me: I need your braiiiins. For a WTTRP post 10:05 AM Fellsie: Ooooooh! How can I halp. 10:06 AM me: help me think of an idea. [...]

While we’re not about to discuss a lot of Cata–at least, not yet**–we can start looking back at Wrath of the Lich King. What were some of the best RP experience within the Client itself? What were some of the best experiences that you created OR participated in? Why were these experiences so memorable? **Come [...]

Don’t worry, cats ‘n’ kittens, I haven’t forgotten about the next post in the “running an RP event” series. However, since I’m running behind today, I sent out the HALP I NEED A TOPIC signal, and got two very good questions: From that Fellsabucket: “How do you balance out personal like/dislike for a character between [...]
