I. Importance of the OOC Topic As the author of an original Role Play, you will have the greatest influence on the game’s success. Your active participation, leadership, and social skills will be vital. All of which can be learned and improved through study and practice. Anyone among you can start their own roleplay, but there is a bit of work involved. You create, coordinate, and supervise the conditions that will allow a creative idea to flourish. All of this begins with the our-of-character, where you’ll first post your idea for a role play. You don’t necessarily need to have a complete idea of what your RP is going to be about in order to make an our-of-character thread. Well thought out ideas are sure to attract posters, but the ideas posters can contribute to the development of an roleplay, can be priceless. Though you are entitled to have the final say on all creative decisions, include your posters in brainstorming sessions. They can build upon your ideas and work with you to take the roleplay in positive directions you might not have thought up on your own. Always keep in mind that role-playing is a social, and interactive activity. You’re trying to tell a story but it’s not as straightforward as writing a book. You’re all part of a team, and if you’re going to work well together then there has to be communication between everyone involved. Planning means deciding on and outlining events that need to happen. Kind of a to do list of plot points that are vital to the story you’re trying to tell. Usually, posters use their characters in the in-character to communicate their intentions, as is often the case with free form roleplays, but it’s important to step into the out-of-chatacter frequently so both you and other posters have a clear idea of what’s going on and what’s going to happen next. When you keep your posters well informed they will always be able to know what their next move is, and will be fully aware of their importance to the progression of the roleplay.All of this adds up to flexibility, which will be able to help you overcome obstacles that can arise to complicate, slow, or endanger the continuation of an roleplay. |
