What -

This is a blog of my experiments in role playing.  In here will contain both articles about my thoughts on role play, my reviews of places to role play, and possibly some character journals.

Where -

My "home" and where I began role playing started out in Toxia on Second Life.  For its ups and downs it is still where I am most active, often using it as a sandbox to experiment with ways to promote role play in an environment which is amblivant to such.  However, I am constantly exploring other areas both in Second Life, and MMOs such as AION, DDO, GW, and WoW.  As I've haven't discovered a role play environment that has been as supportive as MxO, I am constantly hoping around in search for such an elusive environment once again.

How -

I typically incorporate the permadeath play style in making disposable characters.  That is under most circumstances when they die once, I delete the character and reroll.  If I'm surveying the game's role play atmosphere and feel I have sampled enough role play interaction, I'll reroll onto another RP server or faction.  Among other things, this permadeath system allows me to keep my characters fresh, sample a variety of RP environments, and work on what I believe is the most difficult aspect of role play -- that is getting started.

Toxia however is a special case, after leaving for some time to explore WoW RP, my friends asked that I come back and help with developing an environment that tends to focus more on combat into an exciting role play environment.  Here I work on developing creative story lines that run for about 2-3 months.  The characters I create for those story lines live and die with the story.  Then I have the ever present Pontifex who runs a city tabliod to keep people informed of various role play events, aptly named the SALIGIA.
