Lay the Groundwork Now

In the next xpac, we’re headed towards not just towards Pandas, but an elevated level of conflict between the Alliance and the Horde.

First, Finest and Last: Fells

Fells, just Fells, has a fantastic story to tell. Sadly, she won’t tell you any of this story, even if you were in the Black and Red. Eyan Woolery could have been her first, the son of an Eastvale logger who came by when his family needed produce and hers needed firewood. A yank on [...]

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.

An In-depth Investigation: MyRP, Immersion, FlagRSP

What with edits, estimates and extra difficult gradschool work, the crew of WTTRP is busy fighting off Real World issues instead of lounging in WoW, beating up pixelated bastards. That being said, we still have time for RP. We tend to use FlagRSP, as it was coded by a Feathermoonie…but due to some Twitter Based [...]

Bar Culture and RP

This morning, I struggled to find an idea to post for WTTRP,  so I turned to a key source of RP inspiration in the WFR circle:  Fellsie.  Here’s what happened: 10:04 AM me: I need your braiiiins. For a WTTRP post 10:05 AM Fellsie: Ooooooh! How can I halp. 10:06 AM me: help me think of an idea. [...]
