Special: Subforum Mods and other Changes in Staff
Changing It Up
- RPGN has gotten a bit boring for those of us still standing from when it started, so we’re implementing changes to the format to make it leaner and less of a read. We’re retaining the Notables and the Thought Experiment, carving out a lot of the other stuff and we’re adding a bit on Share the Experience, which is a listing of books, movies and music that inspire roleplaying or have something to do with the themes we often work with. While there will be a more concrete theme next issue, this month we’re going with “Awesome.”
Thought Experiment
Thinking about the what ifs for characters can be fun and a great way to figure out and learn who exactly your character is. Considering the given situation below let's share and discuss how you think one of your current or past characters would respond to this scenario.
If your character was granted three wishes what would they wish for and why?

Share the Experience
We all have things that inspired us to RP, books, movies, music, and many other things. But since we don’t all come from the same place and, sometimes, a great work might go unnoticed by someone that would absolutely love it like ships passing in the night. In the future, we may tie it in with the contests (brainwave) but right now, we’re going with a list of just really awesome works that shouldn’t be missed. Next month’s theme will be the 1980’s, a fabulous decade, and submissions for this portion of RPGN can be submitted to @RPGN’s PM. While we are not linking these works directly, it should be easy to find them online through the various free and legal means that exist.
Up and Coming
Interest checks are often the first stage in recruiting players for an RP, and a really good one can net you a lot of applicants. These are some of the interest checks that caught our attention recently. Best of all, they're looking for players!
Current and Cool
Roleplays on this list have already started (but may still be recruiting, please consult the GM) and also caught our attention; the hard work the GM and players put in to setting up the RP, writing their sheets and hashing out the details have paid off and now they're writing their in-character (IC) posts.
About RPGN
RPGN is produced by a volunteer staff of steroidally-enhanced, linguistically challenged barbarians with the goal of bringing Guild members current and useful information about goings-on in our community. We are always accepting suggestions on categories and content. We're particularly interested in displaying people's artwork as a banner (and will fully credit it and link your gallery -- woo). For more information, feel free to PM RPGN.
