• What is role-playing?

Think of roleplaying like improvisation - it may be pretending to be something or someone you aren't normally, or a version of yourself. Many people think that roleplaying is limited to scary dungeons and big fire breathing dragons, or even the mother/father/son/daughter roleplaying in a psychiatrist’s offices, but true roleplaying can incorporate anything from futuristic science fiction robots to blonde bimbos with big guns (and I do mean machine guns).

2. Try to use detail. For example, which seems better:  Annie: she walked around OR Annie: She walked around, bored, and looking for someone to talk to. her red hair fell perfectly onto her shoulders.
