The Island and Domarr and such...

feeds@yuku.com (DiRamon) — Thu, 12 Oct 2006 10:24:44 GMT

Well while Domarr is far off doing who knows what lol (i do), I´d like to talk a bit about the stuff planning his return. So um, hopefully everyone who reads this stuff will not take into rp the ooc info that will be discussed. I cant get on aim or anything to talk about this stuff so maybe we can do it here.

I was planning on having domarr visit the prince, now in a coma, thats still possible as he was going to visit him in dream/vision form anyway, so long as the prince still has...

How to bring depth to roleplays

feeds@yuku.com (Celindria) — Wed, 30 Nov 2005 13:42:36 GMT

I wanted to write an article that would be of interest to new and already existing roleplayers alike. Something that could help flesh out the roleplays we all involve ourselves into. Even if you are roleplaying with only one person, others are involved because others are reading and following the story. So it isnt only for those you are directly interacting with that you would want to focus on. With this said I am in no way insinuating people who do not follow this are inept or somehow less...

Power-gaming

feeds@yuku.com (Naberius Oriax) — Wed, 16 Nov 2005 16:01:54 GMT

God-modding. Power-gaming. Being a newb as some people say. All phrases were familiar with, but its rather evident that a lot of people are clueless as to what it really- is. You cant sum it up in a matter of a few rules, for the vastness of it is too grand to merely throw it into just a few simple categories. But always, the base of power-gaming will stay the same, and in this sort of context, its rather ludicrous. Doing the impossible. It seems that some forms of impossibility are more...

I have found myself once again in the situation where the action of someone elses character IC ... has greatly effected my character IC .. which is ideal IF the information they had was not heard or told to them OOC...and frankly some of it made up to benifit ..what I believe to be there wants OOC for thier own character ... let me explain.

My character was confronted IC about plans she and her IC husband had... by someone.

The information was false a lie. Now I know many...

Psionics in RP combat?

feeds@yuku.com (Kinnan Windsong) — Tue, 21 Sep 2004 12:01:41 GMT

If this has been brought up before, I beg everyone's forbearance. But I've been watching some of the RP combat on various forums, and I have a question.

Character 1 (we'll call him "John" for the sake of argument) and Character 2 (we'll call him "Steve") are in an RP fight. Prior to the start of battle, John has listed in his bio some psionic abilities (which are backed up in a character history he's developed as to how he obtained those abilities); Steve has none...

Old School VS. New School Forms of RP

feeds@yuku.com (Prophet of Enoch) — Sat, 14 Aug 2004 20:27:40 GMT

I was Rping at Clan Carnage with Regent Smyle not too long ago, and we got into a dispute that was eventually 'slightly' resolved. So we're talking over AIM right? And the guy was like talking about old school and new school forms of Role playing, then he says to me: Old school is all about called hits and perfect defense. I'm like taken aback by this, a so-called veteran role player telling me this, i was ... totally taken away, i mean damn... >.< Is it just me or is this old school...

Bringing together our RP world?!

feeds@yuku.com (Prophet of Enoch) — Wed, 28 Jul 2004 09:57:02 GMT

I've recently come across a problem in my midst, this while rping with Sean and Chris, in TA. The problem being the existence of all these different creatures in the same earth or material plane. I just don't see it happening; what with all of the gods that were supposedly supposed to have started things off. ...I had been thinking of a suggestion to all Rpers that this was the converging plane, upon which all universes/existences met and diddle daddled:P Though *Points to Yas* I could use...

Types of Roleplaying

feeds@yuku.com (Yasraena) — Mon, 26 Jul 2004 06:51:47 GMT

Tabletop role-playing usually incorporates set rules established in a book, dice or determinants, a storyteller, and character sheets to determine outcomes. Think Dungeons and Dragons, White Wolf's World of Darkness and Aeon-Trinity table-top games, GURPs, etc.

LARP, or Live Action Role Play, is a hybrid of tabletop role-playing, mixed with real time acting. In this type of role-play, individuals will interact within an established environment with a storyteller, narrators, and other...

Creating Storylines

feeds@yuku.com (Yasraena) — Mon, 26 Jul 2004 06:51:09 GMT

Useful for FFRP(freeform roleplayers) and TTRP(tabletops roleplayers)

The Basics to Creating Storylines
As previously mentioned, a storyline is like a script for actors in a movie. A storyline functions as a guide to what you wish to accomplish during a session, or several hundred sessions of roleplaying. However, more times than not, certain parts will be edited, left out, or just plain changed to help move the plot...

FFRP:Cause and Effect

feeds@yuku.com (Yasraena) — Mon, 26 Jul 2004 06:50:09 GMT

I believe many roleplayers forget about this when writing their FFRP plots and responses. Its something very impt.

When we write fiction, we see the story in our mind long before it's down on paper. We know why our characters are acting the way they do because we are familiar with their past and in control of their future. We understand the significance of every event in the plot.

FFRP: Writing point of view

feeds@yuku.com (Yasraena) — Mon, 26 Jul 2004 06:47:43 GMT

When involved in play by post roleplaying, such as on message boards or by email or even in a live chat using the FFRP style. One would notice varying points of view used by different roleplayers.

I have always pondered the best way to express the plot your involved in and still make your character relate-able. Here at this RP community we ask players use third person point of view because we feel it is best suited for FFRP
