FAQs

 

 

WHAT IS RP (Role Play)?? WHERE AM I? WHY AM I HERE?? HALLLLLPPPP?

 

  Reveal hidden contents

Basically, RP here is fun for people who like to write from different character perspectives, within a WoT-esque setting/world.

You (the writer/RP'er) create a character, and then detail their growth and adventures by creating (or having them join in on) various story-lines, interacting with other players' characters along the way.

We promise it's not as hard as it looks! There are actually a lot of changes coming that will make character development and writing more fun than tedious. Feel free to post on this board or PM me if you have any questions or concerns or ideas at all!

 

If you're new to RP on DM and haven't already seen them, the following posts are a good place to begin:

Role Play in the WoT RP - A Step-by-Step Guide

General Information - New Members START HERE


Both of the above threads are located at The Welcome Inn , which is the home of DM RP in general and a good place to get comfy and introduce yourself before you begin to play.

Yey! You want to RP with us! These are the basic steps you'll need to follow:

1. Decide whether you want your character to be a member of The Band of the Red Hand, The Wolfkin or The Black Tower.

2. Introduce yourself on this board (Tag your post with the group-specific BotRH/BT/WK name and include the same somewhere in your post title) and let us know who you're hoping to join/what sort of character you want to write and any story/character development ideas you have floating around.
 
3. Create your character application/biography and send it in for review to bios[at]dragonmount.com (see spoiler below for required information). Watch it appear, approved on the Biographies board; wait for a CC to be done, and then start RP'ing to your heart's content!
