What’s Your Problem?

By | May 27, 2010

No, dear reader, I’m not trying to provoke a fight. I’m asking this: Given your circumstances and your RP circle, what is the one issue that you can’t seem to get past? Are you having a hard time breaking into a group? Maybe you’re having a hard time finding a group to begin with? Maybe [...]

One Door Closes

By | April 29, 2010

It is a bit hectic for the characters, and players, of Wildfire Riders (and their friends. For the record, that’s Chelody’s idea, not mine.) On the player side, we have jobs, work and someone is getting married. On the Character side, babies have been kidnapped and returned, loved ones have been haunted, complicated relationships have [...]

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

By | February 25, 2010

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 [...]

Timing

By | February 18, 2010

http://www.flickr.com/photos/wwarby/ / CC BY 2.0 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. He also [...]

Godmodding and You

By | January 28, 2010

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 [...]

How Do You Do It?

By | January 17, 2010

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? Is [...]

Perception

By | January 14, 2010

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 saint? A psycho? Make a note [...]

Fic This.

By | October 1, 2009

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 [...]

Sources of Inspiriation

By | June 22, 2009

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 not [...]
