Guides: What would you like to see?

[PkThunda]

I have a problem.

 

I really enjoy making RP guides. You might have seen my guide on courtesans or albinism, but I've written others.

I remember that, back when I played WoW, I was often the go-to for Kaldorei lore. I even made a VERY VERY LONG guide on them for people, and I think I stayed up a total of 22 hours making it.

 

I don't know what it is... I enjoy burying myself in information and then sharing it.

SO!

 

What kind of guides do you all want to see?

If someone is fluent in that subject, maybe they can see the demand and make their own! If it's something unusual, you can bet I'll start abusing Verad's library access.

 

So tell me! Weaponry? Armor? Trade craft? Lesser known professions? Diseases and disability information?

You should do a letter from the entire alphabet -nods- Then you can be all. . .

A is for Albinism

B is for ___

C is for Courtesan

 

 

 

 

. . .Yup.

This isn't super helpful but I can pretend.

That could actually be an interesting project... It would cover a lot for sure, but I wonder what the lesser used letters might be?

Hmmm....

I'd love to see a guide on various aspects of dynamic RP, if you have it in you to pull that kind of stuff out. I like making guides myself, but I never post them outside of my FC's forums, and sometimes I just feel my own experiences aren't enough or not diverse enough for me to sit down and write a guide. 

I think dynamic RP (Ever-changing world, consequences of consequences of consequences, the fact that you don't always control what happens to your character, why these things are good etc) is one of the things that define the heavier aspect of the RP that goes on inside mmorpg's and I figure it might be a nice read for those new to this sort of stage, and even as a reminder/refresher to others. 

 

Maybe some guides on conflict solving, designing storyarch's.. You could potentially create a sort of virtual backpack of good-to-know/essential stuff any roleplayer should get familiar with. Oh, and a guide on how to successfully RP a shy character so people can stop falling into the not-getting-any-rp-cause-my-character-faints-when-it-sees-people-hole.
