Role Play Rambling

Card of the Day: Temperance
Interpretation: Balance, in all that I do. Er, at least that's the goal.

Characterization is about watching a bunch of words become a living, breathing entity.

A good writer is just as surprised as his characters when events occur.

Evolution is not just for Darwinists or Pokémon.

Power gaming in role playing games is merely a substitution for personality.

Diversification in roles not only forces you to act outside yourself, you may find facets of yourself you were not aware of.

Acting is the act of portraying a character as a story unfolds around you. Role playing is the act of creating that story through the eyes of someone else.

The excitement of that natural 20 is nothing compared to the beauty of a well-executed plan. In other words, mechanical luck is nice, but it's the truly immersed gamer that derives the most enjoyment.

The beauty is not in what is described, but what it is written between the lines.

Yesterday's Card: Reversed Ten of Wands
Reflection: ... Or we can just drop the pile ...
