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. What do you mean by right? If one [...]
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 [...]
Welcome back to another ramble about RP event planning! I’ve talked a bit about some of the big questions you should ask yourself and try to answer while you’re in the early stages of plotting.

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 three way tie [...]
When you’re creating a character, it’s often easy to think about the traits that make him cool to hang out with, or to figure out what abilities she prides herself on. But what about the things that make her feel self-conscious or insecure? What does your character dread will get pointed out about him? These [...]
Fellow Feathermooninite and fantastic blogger, Ovistine, tweeted her frustrations regarding a topic that many an RP has faced: Godmodding. This is the practice of forcing another character into a thought, or behavior, against their will. Common examples of this can be found in FlagRSPs: “As you gaze upon Pretty Pretty Princess, you are drawn to [...]
