Roleplay Adventures - Chat and RPG

HELL ON FIRE AGAIN!!!

After 15 years of waiting, Diablo 3 is out in the market, and of course I was one of the firsts to get it. I’m a Diablo nerd, even if my gaming abilities sucks hell. (Lame pun…).

So yeah, I just beat it up this week in Normal and I feel like I want to rush my RP “Until Kingdom comes 2” to Part 3 already just so I could match it up.

It is no secret that “UKC” is based on the Diablo games. Hell, most of the classes were taken from there originally. Sure, I did changed, added and edited into a plot of my own, with my amazing players that gave more life to the plot, but seeing Diablo 3 just made me have more ideas for my RP and I feel like I want to write far more into it.

I truly hope to reach chapter 3 soon for “UKC”. It’s been 4 years since we have started this RP in RPA and I’m super excited to see it reaching this far.

Another influences effecting the plot are the Human/Demon’s interactions about selling one’s soul to the devil such as the “Book of Job” and “Faust” and of course an amazing Power Metal band called “Kamelot”.

There are other tales and legends involved… But why should I say more? Go on and read it for yourself 

And if you are on RPA, be sure to check out our other amazing RPs too.

“Be regular and orderly in your life so that you may be violent and original in your work.” – Gustave Flaubert, author

Don’t you just love this quote!? It’s quotes like this that make me think about different story lines and characters when I’m going to start an RP, or make a character up for a game. 

“Popular theory tells us that the left brain is structured and logical, while the right brain is artistic and imaginative and that all human beings use predominantly one side or the other”

I firmly believe this is true, with one exception.  People have the ability to tap into one side or the other, if they choose, or if they are willing to try!  I myself don’t feel as though I am a “creative” person.  In the true sense of the word.  If you were to hand me a pen, or crayon, or markers, I would most certainly get that “deer in the headlights” look.  That look that says “wtf? am I doing with these?” and you, my friend, would most certainly laugh.  I’m just not wired that way?  Trying to draw something, or create something with those utensils, scares me on some level.  But that’s a different blog.

That being said, however, I do feel a certain level of creativity when it comes to a new RP game.  I know my writing isn’t book worthy, or that I’ll ever make a career out of it, and that’s not a bad thing! It’s not my goal in life to become the next Stephen King, or Danielle Steele.  If it were? I know I would kick it, and be fabulous.  ;)   However, there is something about participating in a role-playing game,  that does work for me, and obviously you too!  We like picking a genre, and creating a person, or a monster, or a robot, or anything! It just does it for me, and apparently a few hundred thousand other folks in the world, people that RP.   We like to write, and create worlds where anything can, and usually does happen, so it’s that type of creativity that we crave.  That we can tap into!

I do find however, that I need the right conditions to be Creative. I find that I need the radio, or television, or some sort of outside distraction noise.  People talking, not necessarily.  Music, or something I can tune out, definitely.  I know that makes no sense, as a requirement to creativity, but for me, it does.  I need that subliminal distraction to help me focus.   I’m certainly one of those people that reads a book while watching television and texting.  Side note – my friends used to think I wasn’t listening to them while doing this, and were usually freaked when I could repeat the last line spoken on the show playing, and their conversation, while still reading.  Yeah = geek!

I also need, believe it or not, a picture.  When I set out to make a new character in a game, I need their face, first.   Doesn’t matter the game, the people involved, the story line or anything else.  I’m interested in the game, obviously, but without a face to focus on I just can’t see the character?  I can’t tell you where she/he comes from. Where they have been. What they are like. Who their parents were/are or any of the other countless things a good GM requires from a participant.  I need the picture first.  I search every known site, to find just the right look.  Which, depending on your genre to RP can be a challenge! 

Ever try to find a Blonde Witch Samurai Princess?  Go try, I’ll wait here.  =)

Back Already? Not so easy is it.  But that is part of my creativity process, so I’ll keep searching.  Cause without it, I’m stuck.  It’s like the picture is a major part of my thoughts, and until I have it, the switch isn’t turned into the ON position.  So I’m constantly searching for new pics, interesting people, animals, monsters that I can use to help that switch be in the position to be creative! 

Well, that’s enough about my insane brain.  Join me for some great games, and if you do find one of those Blonde Witch Samurai Princess pic’s you be sure to send it to me, and boy will we have some fun! 

Till next time, see YOU on RPA!

•Link to OOC

•This is an RP set in 1307 in a small village in the heart of modern-day Romania. The village is known as Brilla-Ruse`, and is home to around three hundred inhabitants, plus guards and Keurig Military. The people (and creatures) have grown tired of the consistant abuse from their rulers, and all respect for the Kingdom of the Keurigs has been lost. Many are afraid to take part in rebellions, to help the Templars. Many question their decision in waiting so long to strike, to make a move. Some, however, choose to risk themselves by speaking out in public for the Templars, even going so far as to join them. Templars are raising hell, and it is up to the Keurigs to stop it less their world falls to shambles.

“The Rising Up”



Adiremeth has spent the last twenty-three years in a war against the blood-thirsty Crigoks, bringing the human race to the brink of extinction. With the aid of Nazirate (the neighboring Kingdom, Eradossa’s, Witch Queen) the Crigoks are virtually unstoppable. Dwudric, the last of the Mortal Kings, has finally given up hope on saving his people. He and the last of the humans are biding time in their last remaining city/fortress, Lilanthia. 

Both the Elves and Dwarves have withdrawn into their natural elements. Not a single member of the Elven race has been seen in the past ten years, when it was rumored a simple 400 remained of their kind. The Dwarves have hidden in the Hearirwen mountains since Nazirate almost single-handedly destroyed their capital, Kelamwen. 

But a change is in the making. Another pure-blood line of Witches has been brought to light. Renalda, daughter of the Green Witch Alena, is a White Witch - the last of the Geramwen. She claims her family’s Grimoire holds details of a ritual that just might save the human race… The catch? The ritual requires a small group of warriors, which it might just alter permanently..

Look out, squirrels!! Wait no … those are otters, my bad.



But this person does have a legion of attack squirrels, and uses them to spread cheer throughout RPA. With constantly greeting newcomers when their threads open, to posting on the birthday thread, this person can be counted on to spread cheer through his visits, as well as a lot of glitter, which is quite good.

Eager to give rep and lighten up a mood, this member has joined a fair number of role plays yet the biggest is the number of welcome threads he has posted in. Seriously, I took a look through his posts, and most of them are either in greeting, or on the birthday thread. Seriously, I bet if I ever met him in real life, he would be glowing and covered in glitter, and bouncing off the walls …. I got some competition!!

After joining in Nov 2011, he has made a swan dive into the site, ranking up a large amount of rep and posts that would make most people dizzy. With eager posting in the downtown threads and greeting, he has made his own personal mark on this site with the glittering welcome sign.


Eager to greet, and with some great role play posts, he has well shown the characteristics of RPA, a thriving energetic community willing to greet new members and make everyone feel welcome. So, let’s raise a storm and shake the earth for the May member of the month …!!!!



Storm

Hey All!

RPA can now be viewed from your mobiles with much quicker loading times using an App (both Android and iPhones). All the current features of the site remain so you don’t need to be worried about that.

If you’re into checking into the site from your mobile click here for the detail’s. 

This month has been dedicated to our lovely, adorable member Setsa 

Who is Setsa you ask?! 

Unless you were living outside of Plant Earth (or outside of RPA for that matter) for a very long time, you have no excuse to not know who she is, and frankly, she is so fond of making new friends that it’s going to be a hard task not knowing her.

Already upon joining, she was shining and friendly and her name was soon to be known far and wide over the forums. Although being a self proclaimed Nerd (who has been role playing for over 12 years) she likes to watch horror movies, singing in the shower and listen to some guitar’s riffs. 

She lost her sanity in High School, but still likes the taste of hot tea and Nacho flavored Doritos 

She doesn’t like heights but she did the Seattle Underground haunted ghost tour once, and aside of being one of the most sweetest girls on RPA she is also taking part in RPs such as: “Ethanria: Rise of the Immortals”, “Whispers of the Past Chpt 1: The Awakening”, “Midnight at Mirnon Manor”, “Broken Hearts and Silver Hands”, “Mystics: the Awakening”, “Rights of the Swampfolk”, “Cold Dreams” and “Mask of the Dragon Lord”.

Setsa likes to surf & Turf and is a football lover, a Vikings fan  has a cute dog named Midnight and was a Certified Massage Therapist. 

So let us all give applause to this Month’s MoTM, our adorable, beloved Setsa. 

She sure is deserving it 

Well, it is over. We have merged together once more, returning to the present from the past. 

Certainly was just another bump in all that’s happened this year. But this should be worth it, the database errors should disappear finally. Which is great XD

A big thanks to everyone, keeping good spirits and joking about in a really frustrating time for all of us. You are the best :)

What is spring to me? 

It’s this wonderful sensation in the air, and the cool feeling of the floor under naked legs and steamy air, yet not too hot and the fact we can finally go back and wear shorts. 

To me spring is the cleaning and the smell of the sea that reminds me just how close summer is. 

It’s the holidays of the spring and the feeling that the school year is nearly over.

Spring to me is watching the yellow Senecio flowers turning to their “grandpa” shape, all gray and wither, their pollens scatted by the winds or with a breath of a small kid. 

It’s watching the birds of the fall and winter leaving the country for another year.

It’s the new colors and the feeling that something new and exciting is about to happen.

Spring is more than a season. It’s a time where you look back and try to think how much you have achieved and how much more would you want to receive. 

This is spring to me.

And you? What is spring to you?

Happy holidays.
Kris.

Come, come, brethren and sisters, to the land where all is deemed real. Where the men of valor and the ladies of the blade doth wage battle on lands varied and vast. Mythical beasts ravage and destroy those who stand in their path, their ways sacred and ancient.
Forests spring to life in the blink of an eye, deep mysteries enshrouded in the depths of shadows and shade. Frozen tundra’s stripped raw from howling winds as snow floats gently to the ground, beasts of the north following like the fading light. Mountains that reach and scratch the surface of the sky, could wisps passing between like welcomed guests to an old friend.

Warm talk spills from tavern doors, jubilant voices shouting from the inside as old men share tales of their past, blades clashed against great evils.

Evil creeps from the darkest recesses, luring the weak and greedy into their grasp, to gain power against great kingdoms and throw them into upheaval, sow chaos where they touch and see the world succumb to darkness. Minions of the Glutton of the dark sweep across the land, pillaging and burning, destroying life they see. Heroes arise to stop the violence, to take down the darkness in the name of light and humanity, to halt the progress of the upcoming beast.

Mighty battles spoken of in legend, foolhardy men and brave woman spoken with delicacy and care. Where uphold their traditions and to follow their beliefs to their dying breath.

So come my brothers and sisters, take up arms and join the stories of wonder and awe. Reclaim blades of legend and wield them against the encroaching ancient evils. Feel the power coursing through you as events turn one after another, sowing the seeds of fate and fortune within your own future, to aspire to great deeds, terrible if you wish, but great nonetheless.
