			Bluebooking form: [[Midnight RPG - Chapter 00.000]]

			Well any of the above are open. Any questions and details you wanna
			go over (some of you have had these conversations with me already -
			Andrew and Bill recently for example regarding Dragon-lore!)

			Normally I do WANT to KEEP all "normal" email/questions/thought that
			CAN be shared with the group here on the Yahoo Club. I want to do
			that to avoid having to retell things.
			However for this idea, for this special circumstance of our LARGE
			group and the infrequent games I think it could work well...
			Especially with the holiday and surgery for me (typing ideas/RPing
			isn't hard when in rehab).




			So...
			WHY do it??
			* FUN!
			* development and exploration of your character
			* secrets and paranoia!
			* xp (see below)


			If this is something some folks want to do here are my thoughts for
			specifics...


			===EMAIL ADDRESS===
			Try to keep your email list solid, email me to/from whichever account
			you want it to be permanent. I'll be keeping a folder for each of you.
			Use my kevperrine@ yahoo.com account ONLY. I will not reply to others.

			===SUBJECT LINE===
			Potentially I'd be dealing with ALOT of bluebooking emails. Please
			USE the subject line well. For example, I'd like to see something
			like thess...


			'''EXAMPLES''' <br> "SOUTH Chapter 4.1 - KYUAD: Researching Dragons" (in which Bill asks
			details about what he knows about dragons from his lorebook) <br> <br> "SOUTH Chapter 4.1 - KYUAD & DURGAZ: Dragon-Lore" (in which Andrew
			initiates a role-played conversation between Durgaz and Kyuad about
			Dragons) <br> <br> So...
			* Campaign Group
			* Chapter it takes place in
			* Character(s) involved
			* Your sub-title for the chapter
			* then the email is the details


			Make sense??



			==EXPERIENCE POINTS REWARDS!==
			If you do the role-playing/storytelling you deserve and WILL get xp
			for it! This will be rewarded in one sum following the next game in
			with your regular xp sum. (I'll be posting xp rewards on the wiki
			soon to show how I'll do it). Yes, this will make rewards differences
			if players choose NOT to bluebook. But I'm okay with that. It
			WILLNOT depend on HOW MUCH bluebooking you do. I'll give one xp sum,
			the same for everyone each chapter. So the first time it might be an
			extra +300 xp, next time it might be more/less. Depending on how the
			game's going.

ROLEPLAYING TERMS

← Older revision		Revision as of 07:17, 17 August 2005
Line 1:		Line 1:
	~~==ROLEPLAYING TERMS==~~

	'''Blue-Booking''': <br> A term originated by Aaron Allston (or at least his playing group) for a role-playing technique in which the actions of individual characters, especially out of combat and away from the main character group, are generally described as writing rather than speech. If this is done using a school exercise book or similar, a permanent log of the character's fictional life is thus created. Blue-booking allows for character development and minor "solo" plot activity without distracting the GM unduly from the main, group-based, plot. It evolved from the note-passing common in many playing groups as a means of dealing with individual character actions of which the rest of the PCs are unaware. <br> Many playing groups who engage in Blue-Booking enjoy it immensely, and regard it as a major refinement to role-playing. However, it can be criticised on the grounds that it de-emphasises the "social group" aspects of the game, and may lead players to shift from interactive gaming to a highly self-indulgent form of solitary fiction writing.
