I will say that's there's nothing wrong with small events or big ones, public ones or private ones, social events or plot-driven events. So long as people are holding events, that's good enough, and it's great that we have variety.

I think that for any event, advertising is immensely more important than any of the actual details of the event. A lot of people are simply looking for something to do, and they won't care about the specifics, and even an event that sounds like a bad idea to most people will sound great to some others. That being said, it's all advertising, all appealing to your audience and broadening that audience. The second most important thing I would consider still isn't even the content, but the timing.

Most events offer tavern RP because, quite simply, it's what most people want to do. Even those of us who prefer more plot-focused RP like for our characters to settle down every once in a while for a drink, a conversation, and maybe some new connections. That's why you see social/tavern RP everywhere. It's also the easiest to do--easiest for the hosts to organize, and easiest for the players to justify a reason for their characters to be there and show up without having to plan anything prior.

Right! And that is awesome stuff and there is nothing wrong with that. Because I used the wrong wording, even after explaining that was not my intent, things blew up. It's my own fault really.

I suppose in the end, I just want players to enjoy themselves while not forgetting to branch out and play everywhere in the world. Again, my opinion.

I try to stay IC all the time. No matter what.

You never know when you meet someone new that wants to get into RP and they need a push in the right direction. Some of the best RP can be found in taverns and also some of the worst.

But that is not the point.

I'd just like to see people using more of the world out there. I can't control people or tell them that my way is correct. All I can do is take the RP out there, offer people something to do IF they want, and that's it. RP for everyone.Â Thumbsup
