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 [...]

Back in the day I took a course on Educational Psychology. According to my professor, the key to knowing what intervention to use when working with a particular kid was timing. My professor felt so strongly about the idea of timing that he wrote a song about it. [...]

New for 2010 by =Loreli-AngelofDeath on deviantART
Loreli, from Angel of Death Studios, isn’t a Wildfire Rider. She’s the head of Security for Arrens’ Stormwind University. While relatively new to our circle on Feathermoon, Lore isn’t a rookie when it comes to RP. She’s held her own against bastards, con men, ghosts and crazy people. In Real [...]

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 [...]

I have a question for you, dear reader. How do you write up your character’s in-game powers?
For paladins, do you pray for the Holy Light to Smite, Hold or Heal? Does your mage call on complex arcane formula’s to reign fire down on her enemies heads, or is it a more innate power? [...]

No, I do not mean the human racial. I mean how do you perceive your characters? Do you think of her as a badass in plate/cloth/with a sword or “Captain Awesome with a Sensitive Side?” Did you make a bastard? A Nutter (Bricu slang for a crazy person)? A [...]

As we have said countless times, RP has more to do with interaction than solo production. Our clever readers may ask, “But Bricu, isn’t the process of writing Fic a solo activity?” The really clever readers respond:
“Writing is not a solitary process.”
Let’s face it, even when planning how you are going to do [...]

Most of the best RP I’ve ever participated in was impromptu. All I need to have is an understanding of my character. This prepared me to RP just about any situation when I walk him into the Pig and Whistle when RP night is declared. There are times when just knowing the character is [...]

I’m taking a break from the loretastic discussion to discuss some SRS BZNS. RP is just as serious a matter as raiding and PVP. Don’t believe me?
RP can be duo’d, never really solo’d. RP events, while not as regular as PvP or Raiding, require hours of prep, scripting, arranging times and dates, [...]

At least once a week, someone posts on the Feathermoon forums looking to transfer servers. After Wrath first came out, the posters were mainly looking for a new home to experience end-game content, asking about the raiding guilds and their progression. But in the last few months, we’ve seen a resurgence of RPers looking for [...]
