We know what the end product will be mechanically, but ExisD and I are RPing it out because that's where the real fun is.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>No Offense but I have a problem with this unless the two of you each night completely remove yourselves from the camp...there HAS to be some sense to the rest of us that you are talking. How would Jahtera even know this is going on? Or any of the rest of the group? If I had KNOWN the two of you were chatting heck you never know Jahtera may ahve offered advice. What sort of relationship are you talking about? If its a budding sexual one there are plenty in the party that would have been repelled by the very idea of your half-elf and a Tiefling. [Not Jahtera]<br/>So it may be real fun for the for the two of you but nothing for the rest of us. Also unless you include IllLust in those PMs then I feel that is completely outside proper actions within the party. He is the GM and should be aware of ALL that goes on within the party and game.<br/><br/><hr/><hr/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=195311.msg9754934#msg9754934">Quote from: Ghostwheel on 23-03-2014, 16:14:29</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">If you're interested in something like that, I recommend either initiating conversation with someone on the OOC thread or via PM, and rolling with it there. I know I've been trying to write Anton's reactions to everyone as they came up in the thread, which lets you play off of something, and I'm sure that even the less social of characters are likely to RP if you initiate something. But... nothing wagered, nothing gained, and you might need to make the first step sometimes. For example, you mentioned that you might be interested in signing a contract with Anton, but in-character he has no clue yours is even interested, so asking him about it might be a possibility to getting RP going. Or you might be interested in exactly how the halfling's gun works (wtf is gunpowder!?), or how the alchemist makes those super-cool potions, or why the archer has a bow so large she has to plant it into the ground just to fire it.<br/><br/>In short, don't be afraid to be the one who initiates conversation and engages others--I don't think you'll be disappointed too often :P<br/><br/>EDIT: That said, I'm still waiting on the DM to see how Vaelor responds to Anton so we can move on from there, as well as question the prisoner. I originally meant to do so alone, but it looks like anyone who wants to watch has gathered.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I will not do any rp in PMs within the party unless it is COMPLETELY AWAY for a large period of time from said party! That to me is like two players in a table top going off for during the week to rp without the GM or other players present while everyone is in camp. I could be wrong but I doubt you as a GM would except that!<br/>Going with your example that entire part of the last R1 adventure between Grant and Nsia should have been done in PMs since they were rping outside the main party. I for one would like to make sure that other party members are aware when I am in a conversation with an NPC or  a PC. It helps build trust and cooperation within the party and reduce the factions that are building.<br/>As for the one that initiates a conversation. Well I can start and see what happens! Yet if you and Nsia had been doing the RP in R2 I can tell you that Jahtera would have already rped as well.<br/>I do not mind sending a PM to the GM to ask a question about an NPC or even a toon.<br/><br/>Phaia
