Guest emp_newb Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Is this a lost art? I really would like to see more than just the same chars with solid rp, lets see some real originality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ainbimagh Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Not that I am against solid rp, but I mean... seriously, there isnt much 'originallity' capable. After this many years I think every angle has been tried. So instead I just say lets see some of the real good roleplays rework an old idea and show yer stuff.

Iyorvin Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 That's like saying 'after this many years, we have discovered all there is to know. We are the pinnicle of knowledge and technology, and the human race is at the height of their power.' Always new ideas, that's why they are called ideas. You'll see yet. Look at Prax. That is just cool. Wish I thought of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Right now my rp is so in depth it actually will hinder my pk until I get what I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many fire giant bards have you seen? Faerie shamans? Ogre clerics? Undead Berserkers? Demon thieves? Just because it's not widely available, doesn't mean it can't be done. Try something new and exciting, and you might just be pleased with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pali Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Undead zerk actually can be acheived within the system with nothing more than a solid qrace app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ainbimagh Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Like I said, I wasnt tryin' to shoot down new ideas. I miss the lack of good old solid well roleplayed staples. I haven't seen many staple roleplays like elven paladins, bloodthirsty firegiant warriors, or law obsessed Tribunals. All have seen is, well played paladins/warriors and powerful Tribunals. I am NOT trying to down anyone, I just would like to see some good old fashioned role play as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or undead anything, aside from thief and ninja. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorCleric Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 There is a reason you don't see any undead rangers... and it sure as hell ain't because of camo. WC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grannym4n Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 - Why is everyone basing their "solid RP" off of class/race combos? Sure it's probably one of the biggest..but I can think of one bigger. Your chars personality and character. What the hell? Please rename this thread to.. "Someone try a Combo I haven't Seen" *dies* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest emp_newb Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 edited for flame bait action. Apologies for the over-reaction Edit: Did you even read MY first post, I said NOTHING about race/class, this was a thread about rp, not races and classes.

Ghrialton Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Where's that character creation checklist at? I forgot who posted it originally, maybe Athelea. Good tool for broadening the horizon of even basic RP. Good RP doesn't have to be weird, or previously untried. It has to be well thought-out and consistant. RP isn't an "angle". It's a tool that you use to leverage the personality of your character into a fictional game world. An angle is a gimmick, and a bad or poorly implemented gimmick < solid RP. This is a good topic.

Chayesh Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 So can undead ranger, and when was the last time you saw one of those? Or undead anything, aside from thief and ninja. I can think of at least two undead clerics I approved. One was Savnt's and the other I think was UB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are both cool in my book, but stop bickering. Bitches. I know but I post logs for constructive critique, and more often than not(not just my logs but anyones) that he dose nothing but bitch, not trying to flame, I just have asked him a few times to ignore my threads if he cant say something at least halfway constructive.

Warpnow Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 What follows does not contain the word cat. cat, cat, cat, cat, cat... Such a flame...but its one of those funny flames...that prolly won't upset anyone. Jeez...you guys need to all cool down... Yea, there is a difference between race/class combos and RP. However...I don't think you have to...at all...have a special race/class combo to have original RP...but it may, at times, allow you to try untried things...

Dale Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I feel ya Chayesh, sorry, I just really like the word bitches(more than bitch) and everyone has their own rp according to warp. I mean besides newbs who don't know how to yet. No matter what they say or do it is their business and it is your's to hate or like theirs. Just like real life you like someones personality or not, for instance everyone likes me because I am cool and I get mad girls. But on the other hand everyone hates balinor because he is a suckup and a prick.(j/k I like you bali) just an example. Emp, lay off the robotussin.

Oh, yes, the "mad" girls up at the institute for the criminally insane go for guys who are risky enough to go near a computer, as they are banned from the use of electronics under the presumption that they may hurt themselves or others.
