Welcome The Instance: Old Republic Edition to the Frogpants Family

Great news for Instance fans, who also want their ToR fix. A brand new show is launching this week on the network, in the form of The Instance: Old Republic Edition, with episode one being available this thursday night! (Think of it as a sister show to what you are already used to with The Instance Prime.)

Hosted by myself, Dills, and a rotating 3rd guest chair! Which, schedules permitting, will often be Turpster even. Very excited about a new show, dedicated to Star Wars: The Old Republic, which hits shelves on 12-20-2011.

Also, a dedicated Twitter Account up as well: @torshow You can email your questions, comments and suggestions to instancetor@gmail.com.

What does this mean for The Instance Prime? Not a thing. No changes at all…if all you care about is WoW, The Instance will continue doing what it does, and doing it well.

Here’s the site link for the new show!

RP Character Life Spans

In two days, yours truly will level up once again, hitting the ripe age of forty-one. While contemplating my own age over the past week, I got to also thinking about the ages of all the MMORPG characters I roleplay. There are tons of races to roleplay across my whole roleplaying collective, and to think of all their life spans matching that of the human race seems folly to me. So, let us take a closer look at the life spans of the WoW races, and better position your own characters in their in game timeline.

Thankfully, we don’t have to go very far to find a respectable chart of life spans for WoW. When WoW fails to provide a wealth of info regarding a specific topic, as in this case, then it’s time to turn to the WoW RPG. Continue reading

Roleplaying Your Role

Just about every time I peruse an RP-focused forum, I see at least one post from someone new to MMORPG roleplaying, asking for advice on how to get started. Since it’s such a basic and fundamental question, I like to revisit it every now and then, trying to look at it from new angles, and maybe discovering something I’ve not thought of.

That’s the case with this week’s edition of RoleCraft. Once again, thanks to Dungeons & Dragons (and my players!) for helping me to see this question in a new light, at least for me. This has lead me to how roleplayers may start their RP characters in a very simple way: by roleplaying their roles. Continue reading

TavernWatch – Looking for Roleplay

Greetings, roleplayers! Back again with another TavernWatch edition, where I warily delve into that vast expanse of scorn and detritus known as the WoW Forums in order to bring to you the shining bits of posted RP gold that may be found within. This edition covers some very worthy Looking for Roleplayers posts, not all of them residing in the World’s End Tavern section.

I have a few RP characters that have been resting comfortably on their realms, waiting for me to pick up and continue their stories. Two of them I’m ready to get back into playing, one on Moon Guard (Alliance), and the other on The Venture Company (Horde). So I got to looking for roleplayers and RP guilds on the forums, making a list of those that looked most interesting. I now share that list with you. Hopefully this saves you the time and hassle of finding some quality RP for your characters, as well. Continue reading

Love, Warcraft Style

Love is in the air! Love is everywhere! All you need is love! Yes, it’s that time of the year, when lovers and ERPers abound in WoW. During the Love Is In the Air festival is also a time I generally stay far away from the populated areas of Azeroth. I currently don’t have any WoW characters roleplaying the part of a significant other, and can honestly say I never have. So, my RP knowledge about such is rather blank.

Not to say I’m against Love, oh no. I think it should be celebrated at all times, and in true form. However, all I can muster for you roleplayers today is to share some WoW machina that honors Love and shows how it can be portrayed in game. So, let me step out of the way and direct your attention to these videos!
