Title: Role-playing Questions
Post by: Noname on March 19, 2010, 04:16:48 AM: Since I seem to have a reputation as a great RP player over the past year or so, I figure it is only proper to have a thread devoted to the topic of roleplaying. Questions here are to be based on the RP settings I run (mostly Fantasy Roleplaying and Free-Form Fantasy) and on roleplaying games in general.

Post by: Noname on March 21, 2010, 01:58:38 AM: I actually made the page on TVtropes once, but it was removed due to it being classified incorrectly. I also notice that I have spelled it "roleplaiying." Yeah, I need to get an admin to fix that. Nick can probably do it. Anyway, I'll make the page and save a copy of it, if it is removed again, so I can easily place it back when it IS classified correctly.

I will make the page in one big swoop, and add more tropes later. I have at least 50 or so in mind (such as "Big Bad" and "The Archmage.") I will probably end up making the page and not classifying it until much later.

As for me, all you need to do is google "Noguy" and I am on the very first page on DA! Same thing with "Dracons" mixed with "D&D wiki." The latter is important for people who play that game, so it gives me a higher chance of someone using them in a D&D game.

EDIT: He fixed it. Thanks Nick!

Title: Role-playing Questions
Post by: Noname on April 11, 2010, 08:39:06 PM: I'm making a list of tropes now. I'll put the page up when I have gathered about 100. I'm up to about 35 right now. I actually did make a page before, with only a handful of tropes, but indexed it incorrectly, so it was taken down.

I'm thinking of naming it "Dracon Lands." "Fantasy Roleplaying" is only a small part of the setting, which actually extends across multiple sites.

For the record, I started the Darwin's Soldiers page with only a single trope :) . Serris and I added the rest bit by bit, until the page grew into the behemoth it is today.

Post by: Noname on April 12, 2010, 12:19:25 AM: I might just start it sooner then. I want to make this fairly detailed, being such a HUGE RP setting that it is (the core RP has almost 400 pages of posts!)

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on May 06, 2010, 07:16:08 PM: How come Aydin was able to communicate via thought-chip here (http://www.gangoffive.net/index.php?topic=7064&view=findpost&p=9183916)?
Title: Role-playing Questions
Post by: Noname on May 06, 2010, 09:36:50 PM: There is a very detailed reason, and I will get to it, eventually. Since real-life issues are eating up my time to explain it in the RP, I will say the basics of it now. Aydin had a chip installed in him a couple of years back by Dragonstorm, which he used to be a part of. He defected from them a while back for reasons I have yet to go into.
Title: Role-playing Questions
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on May 06, 2010, 11:09:48 PM: That actually fits very well into the RP, because Shelton and Aydin are currently posing as Dragonstorm representatives inspecting Trinity Facility.

Don't forget to post a character profile for Aydin in the DS discussion thread!

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on May 22, 2010, 09:53:55 PM: Do you know when you are going to come back into the Darwin's Soldiers RP? I just ask because I've seen you on here a lot, and I've been playing as Aydin for a while now. I can fill you in via PM or the discussion thread if you want an update on what's happened in your absence :)

Post by: Noname on May 22, 2010, 10:42:50 PM: I will be able to return sometimes tomorrow, the 23rd of May. I have been busy with graduating college, and real-life issues. Fortunately, these issues have just come to a point where I will have about 2.5 months of a lot of free time, so I can come back to the RP.

And yes, a recap would be appreciated. Thanks! :D

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on May 23, 2010, 12:05:02 AM: Okay, I've posted a recap in the discussion thread.

Hope it helps! Can't wait to have you back!

Post by: Noname on June 01, 2010, 11:44:25 PM: Not really a question, but, for anyone who still reads this thread, I am back in the Darwin's Soldier's RP. For me, it is really kinda the "B" RP, as I run my own, much longer one, but it is still fun.

Post by: Amaranthine on July 31, 2010, 12:44:08 AM: This IS a rp type question so I'll just ask,

Are you or are you NOT playing in "In the land before time"?
Title: Role-playing Questions
Post by: Noname on August 02, 2010, 08:10:32 AM: I replied in a PM to that last question. Sadly, no. I don't have the time for the "In the Land Before Time" RP right now, and I have no idea when I will. Try again by Christmas, maybe. :lol
