To role play or not to role play?...That is the question...
Many people are intrigued by the idea. Some people want to try it but do not know how to do it. Still others are afraid they won't "do it right."
Wait a minute! You mean there is a "right" way to do it? Really?
Yes, there is a correct way and an incorrect way to role play! I promise you it is easier than you may think.
Kaylor, a new member to PAS, at least I think she is new as I have just returned myself, would like to add some spice to our rather boring and ho-hum existence. I wanted to take a moment and encourage Kaylor in her efforts. I would also like to encourage my fellow PAS members to let our inner children out to play.
The following few posts are going to be about my experience with role play and how I have come to love it. I will explain my views on how to "do it right" as it were. WARNING! These will be MY views and are not meant to be any type of rules or requirements. Role play is best done with the fewest amount of rules which gives folks free reign to use their imaginations.
Keep tuned for my first post on Role Play tomorrow night titled "Role Play, Even a Dummy Like Me Can Do It!"
FIRST ROLE PLAY LESSON:
Above post was done in what is called Out of Character tense. It was written using my own "voice." The abbreviation often used to let people know when you are talking "out of character" is OOC. Keep an eye out for this as it can be very confusing if someone is constantly talking in and out of character without warning.
Before anyone runs screaming away from me because I have already confused them about talking "in" and "out" of character come back tomorrow night as the next lesson will focus on what exactly those terms mean.
