Role Playing Game... Fun, or Obsessive?
I found a Twilight role playing game. I was checking it out, and I'm not sure whether to love it or leave it.
In a role playing game, people sign up and send in applications for certain characters.
When most of the characters are filled, the fun begins- people act as their characters. A typical post goes like this:
Responding to Jacob's taunting words, Bella spun around. As she glared at his smug face, she felt a feral snarl rip out through her bared teeth. "Don't push me, Jacob," she growled. "You're my best friend, but I swear, if you annoy me one bit, I will rip your head off."
The reply:
Jacob saw Bella's teeth, glistening with venom. He shuddered internally and held his hands out in mock surrender. "Easy, Bells. I promise, I'll try to ease up on the whole 'bloodsucker' thing." He hadn't realized it bothered her that much.
Yes, this would be interesting, if everyone wrote like that. Most people write more like this:
"She heard what he said. She turned around. She glared at him. She growled. She said, 'Don't push me, Jacob. I'll rip your head off if you bug me."
The reply:
He saw her growling. He didn't like it. He said, "I'll try to stop."
Needless to say, that can get a but dull.
By the time I signed up, all the fun main characters were filled. I chose to sign up for Tanya Denali, the leader of a coven of vampired who live in Denali, Alaska. (In the last book, I grew inexplicably fond of her and her coven- Hence, the oliviadenali name on the blog.
So, I'm torn. I'm stuck, now- I have to post every so often to keep from losing my spot as Tanya. I'm sure I will, and hopefully the quality of the game will improve as more members join.
