First off, I want to say that I hope I'm writing this in the right part of the forums. If not please let me know.Â
It has recently come to my attention that I have a hard time Roleplaying on a more "casual/friendly" level. I'm way to serious about the progression of the story than just.....well rping. I have a hard time having ic conversations with others if the conversation has no purpose. I don't understand /walkups unless my character has some *story driven purpose* to actually walk up to a character.Â
I have most trouble when choreographing the initial meeting between two characters. Questons that arise are "why are they meeting? What purpose does X have to talk to Y? How will this drive/improve upon either story or character development?"
This has incidently led to lack of rp friends, and possible the loss of one currently. I would like to learn how to tone down the solemnity quality of role play.Â
I was curious as to whether or not anyone would have any tips/tricks/exercises I can practice in which I can accomplish this.
