Unlike forum RP (another type of Play by Post or PbP), IM RPs are faster, less detailed, and focus more on dialogue and character interaction than describing settings and emotions. Thus, replies tend to be shorter, instead of the paragraph posts you might see in a forum RP. This makes IM RP a great way to test out a character personality - throwing darts at the metaphorical wall until something you like sticks.(06-18-2013, 12:42 AM)Tyonis Wrote: I think the suggestion on meeting on Skype might be the best option ATM, since beta time is intermittent, at best. There's also the problem that not everyone will be able to access the beta until phase 4.*Nods* That makes sense. And it might put people more at ease. I've never used skype but I'm willing to give it a try. Still not sure what or how I would do it though. I've never done anything like this. Any suggestions?
In anycase, I'm Epikphailz on Skype, if you all decide to go that route!
A good way to start would be to come up with a general setting first, and let your characters fit into the setting.Â
If you want, I can help set up the group. Xenedra also has experience in this, so you can ask her for advice as well.
