Role-Playing Tips |
|
|
|
This is stuff I've learned thru my ten years of RPG experience (I wonder what level I am?) Maybe it'll work for you too.
|
|
|
|
1. Speak up! If you just sit back and say nothing the adventure will pass you by. Now, I'm not saying that you gotta trample all over what the other party members are trying to do, just make sure you're a part of the action. |

2. Go all out. Have some fun! Be a little wild and weird. I've found that while I enjoy playing a normal character, I have a lot more fun playing the oddball. Personality disorders may suck in reality, but in a RPG its fun for the whole family. Just be sure to keep it light and not to piss off the rest of the party too much. |

3. Take notes! You may feel like a wuss when you do this, but nothing sucks more than when you get to the end of a quest and all you have to do is recite the mystic passage and you sit there dumbfaced. (uh.. KLATU! VARADA!...NIK(cough cough)...there, thats it, I said em!) |

4. ROLE PLAY! Be a character! Role playing is not just saying "I whip out my long sword of extreme ouchiness and cut up the dragon of Eternity. I rolled a 12." Its about who your character is! The best sessions that I have been a part of are ones that have been completely lacking in combat and almost totally devoid of anything that helped to progress the story line. It was just us role playing with one another. Your character is supposed to be someone, have a personality!

5. Get the other guy involved. It can sometimes be easy to command the whole session, making all the decisions and not letting anyone else have a say, much less actually do anything. This not only make for a ho-hum game, it gets other players bitter at you. Getting others involved in whats happening is not only rewarding, but if they screw it up, then its not your fault when it all goes to hell! |
