Let’s say you had, in a rose-colored world, extra character slots (if you’ve run out of them), an itch to bring an NPC to life, and an extra few hours a week to devote to WoW for the playing of that new alt. What NPCs of yours would you turn into PCs? Or, if you’re [...]

I am stuck in meetings all afternoon, so I thought today could be audience participation day!
As we all know from the constant spraying of perfume and the hovering presence of Peddlefeet (/grumblemutter), Love is in the Air is back.
So write me a story: have any of your characters ever had a secret admirer? What kind [...]

Point the first: if you’re not reading Bricu’s thread, “Disappointment,” which he stealth-posted on Saturday, you’re missing out. Go on over and join the discussion of Jaina Proudmoore v. 2.0.
Stemming from a few of the comments there about the relative scarcity of strong female characters in fantasy, I thought this would be a good spot [...]

I’m suffering from an RL case of Being Swamped today, so I’m foisting some homework on you lot:
Tell us about a time when your character was swamped — with work, with troubles, with good things or bad — and how he or she dealt with it.
For example: Annalea acts as Tarquin’s secretary, dealing with the [...]

((A silly conversation with the Nekkid Cow about two very different Mervyns — the Sherriff of Rottingham to him, the Pumpkinhead to me –lead me to the realization that you could, if you wanted to, roll a Merv Pumpkinhead in WoW. All it would take would be a staff-wielding Forsaken (for the Farmer’s Broom from [...]

The only time I get agitated about RP on Feathermoon is when I read the ubiquitous “OMFG RP IS DEAD!” posts. These forum threads are exactly why I avoid the forums. I’m lucky enough to be in an always expanding (if slowly expanding) RP circle, that does small, medium and large events, as [...]

The WoW-internets were abuzz this week with speculation over whether some leaked Hallow’s End masks in the upcoming patch might have unintentionally spilled forthcoming playable races (goblins and worgen, if you’ve been hiding under a rock in the Barrens). There were mixed feelings on the subject (see the lovely Anna’s rant for some very valid [...]

According to Blizz’s Terms of Service (ToS), before one can open a ticket for griefing, one has to politely ask the person to stop. On one hand, this makes sense. People should make attempts to solve their own problems and concerns. One person’s RP may be another persons griefing behavior.
But what does one do when [...]

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, [...]

Hello, everyone who’s come to visit us by way of the Lovely Anna!
I’m eyeing the links over on the sidebar up and down, and realizing that, just as “(Don’t Fear) the Reaper” needed more cowbell, we need more neat WoWblogs to read. (I resisted the urge to say “More WoWbell.” It was hard. It hurt [...]
