Layonara - View Single Post - Level of Roleplay and perhaps some suggestions

Tanman · 11-02-07, 09:35 AM

Coming from a DM point of view and from more recently a player's point of view, I have seen the level of Roleplay for most people in the community improve compared to a while ago whether it is from adventuring RP to just some people sitting in small pockets Roleplaying. To me that is refreshing.

Some recommendations to enhance the immersion. When emoting something instead of saying something like "raises an eyebrow as if to say that he is not happy with you because you did x" cut the emote back to "raises an eyebrow angrily". If the person asks what it was for, perhaps get them to do roll a check and give them relevant info from that.

I have found that giving a check and basing my character response off that check makes the game more interesting. Mind you this is not to say that I make every single emote there is a dice check, but at key moments it does add something interesting to the mix of things.

Apart from that, well done on this. I always watch out when I am out there, and love to see RP happening.
