Kinda thought thats what it was but I wasn't quite sure, acting is probably a good alternative word of what roleplay is

[Zeratul]

much in common, yes...


main difference is that acting has script of what to say, and roleplay you just have a script describing the character & such, and you make up the lines as you go...

ive always wanted to get into role playing but ive never been an extremely creative person so i end up just reading other peoples stories and RP as an invisible mute guy

[Zeratul]

if you want help creating a character for some roleplay, feel free to ask... (its not that hard to create one that is quiet... at least not for someone that has an wild imagination like we do...)


just reading the roleplay is fun too... the more complex stories are like books, except that they have many authors... and that they go down stranger paths... they generally have less of a specific target in mind... (and more of many many targets...)
