Description

Take the New Year Challenge, and actually post something to this board other than an RPG add.

I challenge you all to post something about role playing in general.

Here are a few ideas for you:

a. Take two minutes write about yourself, and what kind of games you
enjoy playing.

b. Try your hand at an essay on the art of character creation, or an
issue you see as problematic as a role player or Storyteller/Gm today.

c. Write a review of one of the various role playing games out there
availabe to play today.

d. Share tips for running a successful role playing game.

e. Do something anything other than just dropping me an advertisement
for a round robin excercise.

Re: Non Descriptive vs Descriptive Writing I've noticed that a lot of people dont know the difference between Non-Descriptive and Descriptive Writing. When you are role playing online, what you write is Posted - Sun Nov 9, 2008 6:14 pm	Nichole nichole672000 Offline Send Email
Non Descriptive vs Descriptive Writing This can be used both in text based role playing games (ie, yahoo groups), in books, or in any general writing that you do. I by no means claim to be an expert Posted - Sat Nov 8, 2008 12:25 am	badahur_buru Offline Send Email
