Ready to kick your RP up a notch? Or even kick up RP across the server by a notch or two?
The DM team has been tossing the idea around of hosting "Roleplay Events". Events and sessions dedicated to fine tune roleplay ability. An opportunity to roleplay with others, share ideas and give helpful hints.
If anyone is interested in participating in any of these upcoming events, please comment below, or even just leave your name. I'd like an idea of how far reaching the interest is, and be able to begin to set these events up.
Thanks much for your input! All are welcome to these events regardless of level or roleplay ability.

alright, i don't want to be the only one questioning the sense of this, but i do really wonder what you mean with Roleplay event. So here are my issues... First, isn't in essence every event mostly a RP event? We learn by watching others and especially the DMs can have great influence in inspiring others to RP as best as they can. Second, is this mostly about teaching how to improve your RP? Like giving tips and tricks? Cause that would be more ooc and can just as easily be done on the forum. Third, how are you going to organize this? Cause in my opinion when you have like half the server there at the same time, RPing goes out the window (at least for me, i find it most annoying to RP in large groups cause it then takes me more effort to find out who says what to who and in the end that interferes with my RP cause i hate the talking right through each other so i usually stop RPing myself all together) Fourth, i am a bit scared this will turn out just to be a stage for the ones amongst us who tend to attract the most attention to themselves (whether because they are just so darn good RPers or just have a big mouth ;D) Finally it might turn into a horror of long sentences as everybody emotes themself to oblivion. Of course I am all for improving my RP skills, I try to do that every day with every char I have. Some things cannot be improved because this is mostly written RP and just not all of us are that poetical, eloquent, fast typers or have english as their native language If you mean with RP events just DM events that do not involve fighting whatsoever, i sign my name on this list with big letters, but that kind of events are always welcome ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Yup! However this will involve very little (if any) fighting.
Yes. And while we could do this on the forums, we have been finding a lot of players who will be invited in game, who do not tend to browse the forums. OOC hints, suggestions and tips will be made by way of tells. I'm thinking the start of the first event will cover the basics of IC, OOC, and Metagaming. But that will depend on who is there. If most of you already know these things, then we wouldn't really have to discuss them.
LOL...working on that! I'm glad to see the interest, and I think I can safely say that to include everyone, we may have to have several small sessions. Which if you guys don't mind, I would be happy to throw together, even if it is nothing more than Kale opening up the house to free drinks! With that said, some events may just spring up suddenly and without warning, pretty much like most others.
That will be something I hope we can avoid. And an issue I wanted to address as lately I have seen a lot of emoted paragraphs that, when you read them, you begin to wonder where and when it was your character developed "mind-reading"......
But the bottom line is, this has mostly been discussed to help out those new to roleplay. More experienced roleplayers are welcome to come and help out, offering suggestions and hints and fine example. I know I'm not the best RPer on the server, and I see on this list some I would say are better at it than I am. And I would be grateful for the help.
Thanks guys, and keep the questions coming.

Thanks for clearing that up. I do think it is a real good idea to actively try to help the new guys. Not only could it make them feel more welcome but I really hate to think back of my first days here when i was way more greener and had to find out for myself how to behave... Well in that case i should really look into the mirror and ask myself if I fall in the group that helps out or in the one that needs to be helped.....lol You know what? I leave it to you omnipotent DMs to ask me to help when I am online and an event is starting or invite me to come and learn... ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) *secretely hopes she never gets the invite to come and learn, thus reassuring her she is not such a bad rp-er after all* And that, my boys and girls, was a perfect example of a bad emote!!! 10 xp for the one who can explain why ;D ;D

It's a bad emote cause you didn't emote a damn thing! ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png) All you told us were your internal feelings, of which can be expressed by facial expressions/body language as in: *begins to frown, tears beginning to well. takes a deep breath and rubs her legs, seeming to relax a little* Not the best emote, but i wasn't really trying since you sounded like you were joking anyways (and I know you can't award me 10xp ;D). And so this post isn't completely off topic. I will most definitely be available to help with the metagaming issue in regards to theif aspects (my cohorts and i had a recent discussion with respect to PPing). But perhaps this isn't something that will be covered in the first session.

I am definitely interested especially getting tips from some people I never interact with in game, however one question comes to mind... *coughs uncomfortably* since several of the participants would want to kill Ranan on sight, how do get around this technicality?

start up a pc who isn't a murderous villian! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) lmao... ;D It's true though, you can RP just as well with a new level 1 character since this will entail no fighting. I teach new stuff all the time by watching others roleplaying and I do have one thing that kinda bugs me regarding my roleplay... Jargo's accent has turned out not to be as strong as I originally intended for it to be, and I've been too busy developing other things in his character. Now I've found a way to truly molest my otherwise descent literary english in ways that'll make Jargo sound like a drunk scotsman with a speech impediment... ;D The thing is, I don't wanna take the accent too far, and nor do I want to make the change too drastic so I'll be getting IC comments like "Did you bumb your head?" or just the odd look from old friends. ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) This RP session could definately help me get alot of feedback on the situation. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Other than that I'll be happy just to participate.

thinking back on those days when i just discovered FRC I remember having at least something to help me not make a total fool of myself. This little life saving guide helped a lot. Maybe the existence of this pdf is common knowledge, but just in case, for anyone who is new at RPing with NWN, read this: nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=Other.Detail&id=501And for you old school RPers out there, you all should already know this by heart, but...still fun to browse through ;D

I love that link!
I read it years ago on another RP server's forums. Matter of fact, I believe it was the one Justicar, Usurper and I came from. It is a very good help guide! Thanks for posting it!

May I suggest at least one definite scheduled event for this. So that we can try to be on for it. I am really curious on how this will work, and what will be involved

I will put a post in the Regal Griffon both here and in game as to event time date and place.....as soon as I have it all worked out.

Due to overwhelming lack of interest, there will be no further scheduled events like this.
