First I want to open by apologising for the delay in our regular scheduling. The Super Moon caused [@vietmyke] to run wild and we had to spend most of the day hunting him down. I can confirm that he is back home safe and sound, and thank you all for being patient. Especially given that all of our schedules have changed dramatically. That said, rest assured that we will do our best to ensure that every two weeks there is a brand new issue of RPGN to sit and look pretty for your reading pleasure. So without further ado… [h1]Notable Roeplays[/h1] [sup]By [@Vietmyke][/sup] The reason most of you are here! Let's see what the all seeing, all knowing Vietmyke has for us this time? [h3]Up and Coming![/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.This week, we’re going to highlight some of the best looking interest checks that caught our eye. Best of all, they're looking for players! [hider=Notable Interest Checks] [b]Casual Interest Check[/b] [indent][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/154468-pries-paranormal-dark-fantasy-rp-interest-recruit-thread/ooc]PRIES[/url] by [@Holy Soldier] - A dark fantasy in a modern setting. PRIES is a sandbox style game in which you take on the role of a supernatural agent.[/indent] [b]Advanced Interest Check[/b] [indent][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/154607-the-last-march-of-the-living-interest-check/ooc#]The Last March of the Living[/url] by [@Nariata] - The walking dead meets fantasy warriors. This has a little bit of everything for the fantasy lovers our there.[/indent] [/hider][/indent] [h3]Cool and Current[/h3] [indent]Sometimes Roleplays do something special that needs to get them recognized. If you yourself know of such an RP send it in to RPGN or to Vietmyke.. It maybe just passed a certain milestone, or something dead awesome just happened. Let us know. [hider=Notable Roleplays] [b]Free Roleplay[/b] [indent][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/86431-tnt-the-nameless-tavern-always-open/ooc]The Nameless Tavern[/url] by [@Dark Light] - A little hole in the wall for you to kick off your proverbial boots and relax [/indent] [b]Casual Roleplays[/b] [indent][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/46105-phoenix-wing-a-fairy-tail-rp-always-open-open/ooc]Phoenix Wing[/url] by [@Caits], [@Expolar], and [@Zarkun] - An RP truly massive in scale. I've seen very few RPs with this many consistently well written posts and such a massive cast of characters. Something on this scale deserves a mention- 2 years and its still going strong. [/indent] [b]Advanced Roleplay[/b] [indent][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/134453-manifest-anima-planes-divided/ooc]Manifest Anima: Planes Divided[/url] by [@Celaira], [@yoshua171], and [@Ganryu] - A delightful modern-fantasy RP that mixes magic and technology. This little gem has been steadily chugging along and features a welcoming cast of players and a dedicated group of GMs. [/indent] [b]Nation Roleplay[/b] [indent][url=http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/154604-the-peace-keepers-ooc-ic/ooc]The Peace Keepers[/url] by [@Polybius] is political nation RP that takes place in a Galaxy Far far away, but is not Star Wars. Its a refreshing looking RP that appears to be shaping into more than yet another galactic war in space.[/indent] [/hider][/indent] [h2]Challenge to RPGN[/h2] Challenge posed by [@Ashevelendar] and fulfilled by [@RomanAria] as requested. [hider=Image] [img]http://i.imgur.com/vKQdWmP.png[/img][/hider] [h2]Question to RPGN[/h2] Again posed by [@Ashevelendar] to [@Sep] and [@RomanAria] [quote] What type of RP genres do you like ( sci-fi, fanstasy etc ) ? and Arena , NRP , Tabletop or Normal RPs ? Which one do you like the most and which one do you like the least and why ? [/quote] [hider=Sep] My favourite RP Genre is definitely Sci-Fi without a doubt. I originally started roleplaying on the guild in Star Wars RPs and it really got me into the Star Wars universe. More recently I have spent a large amount of time working on the canon for my roleplay No Turning Back making a Sci Fi World of my own choosing. [sub][sub]Shameless advertising[/sub][/sub] In terms of what RP I like the most, I tend to stick to traditional play by post in what you would consider “Normal”, spending most my time in the advanced section. I like how free it is in terms of it is essentially writing a novel with friends. Tabletop is likely my least favourite, I find the reliance on dice and stats annoying and feel like it takes all the fun out of writing. It’s more fun when my character is stabbed by a wild ogre because I cocked up, not because a couple of dice said so.[/hider] If you guys have a question you want to ask, leave it in the comments below. [h2]Question to the floor[/h2] This week the question is getting a bit deeper, how do [i]you[/i] build your characters? Music? Basing them off yourself? Singing a song? Poetry? Reading? Basing them off a friend? How do your characters come into existence is the point of this, they don’t come out of nowhere. [h2]Puzzles[/h2] [sup]By [@Wade Wilson][/sup] Help! I don't have much time! This is Wade! Wade Wilson! The Spirits of RPGN Past have held me captive, and hidden three things in the past three issues - a top hat, some text, and a pumpkin. If you can find them, specify which issues they're in (and what the text says), and I'll be able to escape! You have to hurry, though, there isn't much ti- [hider] [quote=Sep] The Spirits have also messed with our avatars, whose is whose?[/quote] [hider=1][img]https://images-2.discordapp.net/.eJwNyVEOgyAMANC7cABqURh4G4IEzbQltGYfy-4-3-_7mnucZjW7apcVYDuk8NisKI_cqm3M7ay5H2ILX5BVc9mvSirg5jQl9HNy0cUYgg_glogep_BKAaPHZ-GmN_GHbKdmfn8JuiLv.n9Fs6GZld2a67LUzLcQ1reluDHM[/img][/hider] [hider=2][img]https://images-1.discordapp.net/.eJwFwVEOgyAMANC7cAA6UJribQgSNNOW0Jp9LLv73vu6Z15uc4fZ0A1gP7XK3L2azNKb7yL9amWc6qvcUMxKPe7GphCX_MohLTlSJEJMCHGlkEKilNeAgZAIHn6zfNgP7u73BwqGIvo.LDyhz5wBEm5SIqy3zr7w76jYEvw[/img][/hider] [hider=3] [img]https://images-1.discordapp.net/.eJwFwdsNwyAMAMBdGACDedRkG0QQiZpgBI76UXX33n3VMy-1qUNkrA1gP1fhueslPHOrujG3q-ZxLl34hiySy3HXLgvQJZNscAkJiWIMEdCTDWjsyzsTPUZK8PR350_Xozf1-wMI3iLo.AQ7qZJkItgJsmjy5CWoOx7iX1hU[/img][/hider] [hider=4] [img]https://images-2.discordapp.net/.eJwFwdENhSAMAMBdGIACQgNuQ5CgUSmhNX6Yt_u7-9QzL7WqXWTwCrAdXGhumoVmblU3onbVPA7WhW7IIrnsd-3C4JZkkg1LctHFiBgQnI82YDLGJ28sBuvg6Went-vRm_r9AQj4IuM.BqNUOrgk1PgBq1O6wE5ZSOZI6D0[/img][/hider][/hider] [h2]Interview?[/h2] This week we’re not going to have an interview, sorry to all.
