[h3][color=f7941d][b]T[/b]hought Experiment[/color][/h3][indent]Thinking about the what ifs for characters can be fun and a great way to figure out and learn who exactly your character is. Considering the given situation below let's share and discuss how you think one of your current or past characters would respond to this scenario. 

What would your character think about you if the met you in real life?[/indent]
[h3][color=f7941d][b]U[/b]p and Coming[/color][/h3][indent]Interest checks are often the first stage in recruiting players for an RP, and a really good one can net you a lot of applicants. These are some of the interest checks that caught our attention recently. Best of all, they're looking for players![/indent]

[h3][color=f7941d][b]A[/b]bout RPGN[/color][/h3][indent][i]RPGN is produced by a volunteer staff of drunken, angry wee folk with the goal of bringing Guild members current and useful information about goings-on in our community. We are always accepting suggestions on categories and content. We're particularly interested in displaying people's artwork as a banner (and will fully credit it and link your gallery -- woo). For more information, feel free to [url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/users/5597]PM RPGN.[/url] [/i][/indent]
[Hider=Get Involved][b]Get Involved![/b][indent]Do you make banners? Are you a circa-1995 big-haired news reporter with a 'SCOOP?' Here are some of the ways you can help with our next issue of RPGN:
 - [b]RPGN banners[/b] - Be creative, do what you want! Get exposure (we credit banners). Submissions should be 700x200px, please!
 - [b]Let us know if your RP has a birthday coming up or is successfully concluded[/b] -- We want to give credit to the committment that both players and GM are showing in keeping their RP's going strong in the long-term.
 - [b]Player Questions[/b] - A user-submitted question will be answered on the Guild News, with the hope that it will inspire a larger discussion. Submit your question today in the [@RPGN] PM box!
 - [b]We are Recruiting Staff[/b] - If you wish to be involved in the next edition of the RPGN, please hit up the [@RPGN] PM box! (Note: You will be cut into the loop for the issue after the upcoming one, so if you PM between today (3.17) and the next issue (4.17) you will be working on the issue after that (5.17) The way the PM system works, we need to have who is doing the work set a couple weeks in advance. In the event of a large number of applicants, we will establish a queue for subsequent issues.)[/indent]
