WTT: [RP]

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 [...]

I’ve had these two notes on my desk for close to five years now.  Look: A long, long while back, I was writing a story for Davien and wanted to refer back to how she felt about… something.  I’m not even entirely sure what it was, though looking at the mention on there that Anduin [...]

At one time or another, most of us have dusted off our crystal balls and wondered where our characters will be five, ten, fifty years down the road.

First off, a reminder — there’s just under a week left in the Midsummer Night’s RP Writing Contest.  Get  your entries in! Bricu talked about a character’s knowledge of  WoW lore and how to fit that knowledge into RP.  I’d like to explore another aspect of that — how to fit lore into a character’s [...]

Worldbuilding fascinates me.  When I dive into a new story, I’m always keeping an eye out for what the authors do with the belief systems within those worlds.  It’s one of the things I consider during any kind of character creation, even if it might never come into play over the course of a game, [...]

Despite playing WoW since launch, there are certain aspects of the game that I am just not familiar with. PVP is the one thing in WoW that I will lrn2play. Integrating PVP and RP has been my weakest link in game. I ran a story once that was supposed to end with a little PvP–just [...]

Our Alliance side guild on Feathermoon, the Wildfire Riders, have been running a group storytelling event centered around the Wrathgate Event. We mean this cut scene (Spoiler for those folk who still haven’t seen it): The Lovely Anna has already published her paladin’s role in Wrathgate, but there are more Riders and more stories. Here’s [...]

Any adventurers that make their way through Duskwood’s Raven Hill Cemetery are in for a nasty surprise: (picture courtesy of WoWWiki) That’s right. As if hundreds of angry ghouls and a horde of poison-spitting spiders weren’t enough to worry about, there’s also this elite skeletal horror who must be part Devilsaur, with the way he [...]

Every server has its own culture. Some of this culture is documented on WoW Wiki’s Realms List or on Blizzards Official Realm Forum. Most of the culture will be documented on the Raid and Guild forums–the semi-private places where guildies gather and talk about the game we obsesses over. Over time, part of this guild [...]
