6 thoughts on “neat advice article on ways to improve your abilities as a roleplayer”

  1. A great read, and full of good advice which I hope I can follow. I just wish people could write an article like this without explitives. I am no angel about this myself, but I know it tends to distract from an otherwise cogent message. If you want to offend put explitives in your writing. If you want to convince and influence avoid it.

  3. Great article. This is my favorite line, from point 4: “Instead of being bound by pre-conceived notions of what your character would and would not do, embrace complications and do it, but try to work out why.”

    Nothing kills a scene faster than “My character wouldn’t do that.” Even if that is going to be the case, at least show us what your character WOULD do in this instance. I think if you’re going to have your character take some scene-killing ethical/philosophical stance, you should at least follow-up with some action that enforces that stance and reveals something about your character.
