Anatomy of an RP Event

By | September 11, 2012

Let’s start with how it ended: Broken bodies, a kidnapped blood elf and a hostage worgen, grudges and rivalries (re)established that would last an expansion, the organizer of the event horribly burned with a shadowbolt, and players of all factions saying “Hell yes!” This was the event held on Feathermoon (US) in 9/7/12. It was [...]

The End of the Flower War

By | August 30, 2012

The Riders worked on a story wherein a few unsavory people figured out a way to sell Lotus on the cheap. This pitted a cartel against the Riders, and for a large part of Cata, it did not go well for the Black and Red. And this is how that story ended. For the record, [...]

The End of Cataclysm

By | August 21, 2012

Open Thread: This is How it Ends

By | February 15, 2011

Wrath ended with a bang:  By killing Arthas.  It is far too early in Cata’s to accurately predict how this expac will end (though I think we all have an idea), but to be fair, those of us at WTTRP care about the overarching plot of WoW in how it relates to our own stories. [...]

Rising Above

By | January 26, 2011

Part of character development has to do with how a character addresses their challenges. The context of the challenge–the what, the why, the where, and how–matters as much as the character being challenged. Clearly, rising to fight The Big Bad of the Expansion is an example of rising to the challenge. Blizzard has focused (with [...]
