Lurch

By | November 3, 2011

A Quickie

By | September 29, 2011

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 [...]

RP 101: Where to Start?

By | July 26, 2011

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This is what a Flag RSP Looks like(Bricu note:  As of Today, this add on is out of date).  It is not the best, nor is it the worst, but this is the window that is displayed if you, and your target or mouse-over, has FlagRSP 2.  The box in yellow shares Bricu’s title, first [...]

By | November 16, 2010

Yesterday, I started a discussion regarding the definition of various Anti-social personality traits, including an investigation of the terms used in pop culture. Today, I want to focus more how to integrate some of the APD traits with RP. To begin with, I’m going to one more client: Hannibal. Hannibal has a history of violent [...]

Lessons from Wrathgate

Content Lull 2: Sneaky Saturday

By | June 19, 2010

Thursday, we started a discussion on filling the Content Lull. Epic Story lines appear to be a great idea for a lull; however, unless you have brilliant timing and superb organizational skills, Epic Story can turn into Epic Fail. For the Lull, a smaller, more personal solution, may be in order. If you are feeling [...]

While our content may not have the same game-play mechanics as an encounter or a boss fight–although, if someone tried to orchestrate a Sindragosa-esque [...]
