I frequently disagree with Panther, the Dragon’s Mark site owner, about his administrative policies and how he runs his Red Dragon Inn site. Despite our differences, I have a great deal of respect for him; the man has expended a great deal of time, money, and effort to develop a great place for people [...]

Some more excerpted comments from the Red Light, Green Light discussion that I wanted to finally address. All of these are from Bad Juju. The site will never be properly policed, the admins don’t have the time nor will they give the proper power to others to handle such situations. . . Sure, they have policies that [...] One of my conclusions in Red Light Redux was that Dragon’s Mark needs more staff. But that brings up more questions, like. . . How do you find responsible “smile-from-the-wrist-down” volunteers for your staff? There were some very interesting comments in the discussion of Red Light, Green Light. In part: There aren’t enough people to catch and enforce these cyber sessions in the chat rooms –or– some one let something slide either on the forums or in a chat room, someone saw this and just assumed they could get away [...] It’s finally come up at yet another roleplay community forum I frequent: a Roleplay Pet Peeves thread.

Anubias adds that using a random number generator (/roll in LotRO) for a set number of rounds can essentially balance combat between players, when it is [...] I chuckled at A Treatise on Punt Beasts, by Lord Dredd. This treatise details the ecology of the Punt Beast. While some might be inclined to snark, “Punt Beasts, Bah, Blending, Bad Form!” it’s all written In Character. A “Swift” Course of Action by Soerl Lute shows some history for a character I’ve always [...] At a roleplay community forum revolving around an MMORPG (yes, Victoria, there IS roleplay in MMOs), immersion was recently dredged up for discussion. The context: Roleplayers not playing with the same toys in the sandbox they share are responsible for each others’ disrupted immersion. One player’s sandcastle is built where people with mystical powers are either [...] Thinking more about Drama Free Roleplay. My characters aren’t here to act as NPC’s for yours or vice versa. That is a key point to keep in mind in free form roleplaying, where one of the main precepts is that you choose what happens to only your own character. But it gets sticky when roleplay [...] |
