ISRP General Chit ChatInteractive Story Role Play. This board is where you can ask general questions about how to play or take part in out of character discussion the events happening chat-side. Subforums of this board allow for in character participation.
What if there were general classes, like schools or something? That might be good for some of the newer players, and the more experianced players can teach the classes. plus it would help the new players meet more people.
I know, I think it would be pretty fun, there could be different classes for the different races (elven history=elf for teacher, dragon history=dragon for teacher, etc), and there are also so many other subjects that could be "taught"

Not a bad Idea, and not one that needs a whole lot of suppoert. Many chars are teachers. To do the clasees have your char post a schedule on the IC boards.
but this is a old story being resurfaced again. In the old days of lore, ISRP had sessions run by Wizos that would act as "school sessions", answering questions to patrons of old and new alike. They would desginate a time on the calendar and West Coast or East Coast time table. For a new incarnation of this, i would suggest that one of the Magi at least be present as volunteer duty and work the schedule around their schedule.
I'm with Bari, still confused. Which are we talking about?
1) General RPing info about various character classes, taught "in-char" by people running that type of character. This should be taught as opinion-only, but could also be a great way of learning differences between gaming systems. You could have a wonderful debate between a D&D vampire and a WhiteWolf vampire about how things work on each of their worlds. I suggest Sigil as site, or even better, one of the non-setting rooms. This doesn't need a Magi, but if you want one, let us know. :-)
2) How RPing works on ISRP. This one should probably have a Magi there to ensure that any misunderstandings aren't passed along as truth. (Even oldtimers can have entrenched misinformation, or not be completely up on the changes since WotC.) Since this would be out of character, it needs to be held in Nexus.
I think OOC classes would be better, because i'm still new at this myself and so are the people i usually rp with, so, I know a few people who would benefit from OOC classes just like I would
Everyone at one point was new to role-playing and started out at the begining, over time everyone improves and develops their own style of rping. If you wish for tips I can give some, that and I want to role play with new people I haven't before.
I'll talk to other Magi, check schedules, and see who can do what. Life is busy for me and this weekend is particularly bad but maybe next weekend. Maybe even a quick get-together sometime during the week.
Also do not forget the tutorials, on the main page most of the info taught on roleplaying will be in there. Lots of good stuff for new players and good refreshers for oldies.
I'd be glad to help with this, I remember the old classes that used to be held when we were on WoTC still. I don't see why we can't help teach people on creating pen and paper characters as well, especially if they want to base their ISRP character after those stats.

ok, ok, sounds like we are getting a good start on things, so, i guess we will have some classes for acctual rping, character making,etc. And some classes for things like races, habitats, and skills?
