I've noticed a fair number of people interested in roleplaying on Orien, but very little roleplay actually happening. Some time ago, Nomli and I attempted to start a guild for roleplayers, but few people showed interest. Pirate Jake started the "Roleplay" channel, but I am generally the only person using it. As these attempts to organize the roleplaying community have failed, I've decided to take a different approach: tavern nights!
This Friday starting at about 9:00pm central time, I will be hosting Orien's first official tavern night in The Phoenix Tavern - just south of the bank in the Marketplace. This should provide a great opportunity for veteran and newbie roleplayers alike to meet and get to know each other. If there's a good showing, I may make this a weekly event, similar to Thelanis Thursdays.
What: RP Tavern Night
Where: Phoenix Tavern in the Marketplace
When: Friday, January 1st, 9:00pm Central
Why: To provide roleplayers with a place and time to meet and interact in character
How: Show up at the tavern and roleplay
Helpful Tips:
If you haven't already, add some kind of character description to your bio. This should be anything that another character might notice about you on first inspection. This gives other characters something to react to, whereas detailed histories don't provide any in character knowledge for them to work with. Example: "Xeldor wears the holy symbol of the Church of the Silver Flame suspended from his neck by a large silver chain."
Type /joinchannel Roleplay to join the RP channel. This is a great way to communicate with other roleplayers on an out of character basis.
Observe. If you aren't sure how to begin, just sit back and watch the roleplay for a while. Read other character's bios for ideas. If you have any questions, the Roleplay channel is a great place to ask them.
