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. [...]

Spotlight: Arrens Caltrains

By | November 22, 2010

Arrens Caltrains is the Headmaster/Guildmaster of Stormwind University. He’s prim and proper, with a definite sense of what is proper.

One of the comments from the previous posts was on how to RP affect. A flat affect simply means that a person does not display emotions.
