"Personally, I'm extremely dubious about just exactly what a closed thought adds to the roleplay." *bites her lip, and raises her hand* Um, hello? Saera posts a lot of closed thoughts! But they have a very specific purpose. She's the sort that has a very transparent face. You can...

I think what helps most is if you're aware of what the general NPC culture would be like and where your char differs. Magic and/or alternate universes can explain any technology or character style, sure, but that's different from assuming that your sixteen-year-old runaway farmgirl from just...

He plays one of the Adepts. He plays one of the Blessed. A new guild isn't going to help someone who bores so easily. (Ambiguous phrasing intentional.) Good luck in finding someone, John.

The dark-haired woman pauses and moves over to the corkboard to look curiously at one of the messages there. Her look turns to a glare at the apparently offending sheet of paper, and she mutters angrily, "Of all the asinine, idiotic...bloody hells! who does he think he's fooling with that?!"...

This is what they mean by "the signature thing" (since he didn't understand the reference before).

BTW, this one really surprises me. I've only run into it once in 4 years of play and there were other issues involved. I hate knowing where a story is going, myself, I much prefer to wing it, but maybe with people like that you do have to work out the whole rise and fall of the plotline with...

Re: making fun of people IC *sighs* Yes, I'm guilty. Yes, my chars do it, for various reasons. One is a drow who will make fun of anyone who isn't drow, and even of drow if they don't meet her standards of drowness. She expects people to hate her for it, and call her out to the clearing...

John, with all due respect, you are still a relative newbie but you're in sophomore slump mode. And btw, your chars drop every single bit of their storylines if a female glances their way at all, which is very frustrating to anyone else trying to RP with you. Having a vast and detailed...

Oh for crying out loud... Yes, it's you. And you, too. Here's a few ideas.... Try not to play characters whose only real purpose is to hook up with someone. Try to make friends instead of lovers. Try to take more than a few days or weeks or, gods help us, even months, to fall in deep and...

She seems a bit flustered, this fair-skinned, blue-eyed woman with the curly dark hair escaping in tendrils from where she's tied it back, as she hurries to the bar to speak to the golem. "The wedding? This evening? Upstairs? I'm going to be... well... a bit late. That is, um, I think I am? But...

If you're willing to pay real money, there are three artists I know that do great work. If you're willing to invest in time more than money, I met all of them while on Gaia (www.gaiaonline.com), a fanime community where there's a specific forum for artists who are willing to do commissions. If...

The added notes catch her eye and she bites at her bottom lip for a while as she composes an answer. Unto the halfling villain, for it appears that the explanation of actions is from you: The Lady Bhryn is a [something is heavily crossed out] person who should be counted on to seek the right...

Saera checks the information that Lorain had given her. . o O (Alright, seems all here. I hope this works, for their piece of mind if nothing else... ) Reward: 5000 in Gold! For capture of a dangerous villain who attacked a man without provocation and tried to kill him. The attempted murder...

A dark-haired woman dressed in simple but well-made clothes of tunic and pants, with a dark blue cloak, comes in and posts a note on the tavern's corkboard. The writing is sharply defined and in a pure black ink on slightly creamy parchment. To Lark - I have a package that someone passed along...

Oh, fun thread! ^_^ Most of mine start with an OOC reason that I want to play out. The good ones become roles I can play as if it were improv theater. Stats and descriptions don't seem to make for long-term enjoyable ISRP play as much as a personality you can sink your teeth into (allusion...
