Which of the following rooms would you like to explore?

1841PT  Lottery room

1840 Playroom

Parallel Time room

Leviathan room (in the antique store)



[edited by Midnite]



I would not chose to explore the leviathan room,  all that  breathing would no doubt require lots of mouthwash for that room!

I have never been quite lucky with lotteries so not that room either...

Parallel time sound interesting although I do not know any parlor games.

My choice would be the 1840 Playroom, I would feel very much at home there. I wonder if my doll is in that room.  ::)

I know that some posters participate in RPG elsewhere, so I post reminders now and then to please not role play here.

I've heard of this but am not familiar with it.
What exactly is RPG?  What would constitute someone doing it?

Thanks

A really basic definition would be playing pretend according to rules.  Most DS rpgs are run by facilitators.  They're a lot of fun, but I haven't participated in any in ages so I hope I explained it well enough.

A lot of us have usernames, avatars, signatures and personal messages taken from DS, and we encourage that.  But if in your messages you're pretending to be that character, as with Sarah looking for her relatives or her doll, you're role playing.  RP is fictional storytelling, same as fan fiction, except the author puts him/herself into their writing, and like FF there are websites dedicated to it.


From the User Agreement/Guidelines:

2. The purpose of these forums is to discuss DARK SHADOWS, its characters, actors and storylines. Role playing (putting oneself or another poster into the DS story) is discouraged, and repeated efforts to role play may result in removal of these posts from the board. This does not, however, refer to DS-related usernames or signatures. These forums also do not accept fan fiction and such works are subject to removal.

Okay - I got it.  Thanks.  (Had to read your explanation and guideline and couple of times.  I'm a bit thick.)  LOL

Whatever it was, I wanted to make sure I'm not DOING it.

Most of those places would be too scary for me (ill-willed spirits are not my cup of tea), but I must say I would be way too curious about the PT room to resist.  I'd be interested in seeing what the alternative Joe is up to.  I just hope he wouldn't be "bored now".  (sorry, btvs reference)    :o

More likely it's because I talk funny.  :)

Oh please don't be nervous.  I usually don't even say anything unless the role playing is ongoing... and the bunny keeps her claws trimmed, I promise. ;)

Joe, no need to apologize. We don't discourage BtVS references. In fact, many of us are fans of the show. And the ones who aren't, well, it's a shame that they've been living such empty lives for the past six years. [wink2]

(OK, I'm kidding with that last remark. But you really don't know what you've been missing. BtVS is quite simply one of the most intricately layered and richly complex series to come along in years, brought to life by an astounding cast that seems to become more talented with each passing season. Like a certain other show we know, love and obsess over, it's quite possible that BtVS will be as popular 30 years after it airs its last episode as it is today.)

I think I'd like to explore the 1841 Lottery room. I'd love to learn a lot more about Brutus' background than we were given during that storyline.

That would have been something to see MB.  I wish they did have a storyline regarding Brutus Collins, instead of those one minute flashbacks they showed us from time to time. Would have made an interesting storyline. ;)

I would like to check out the PT Room and see where it would take me.  It would be convenient to take a trip and never leave the house, so to speak  ;).

Been there, done that... but not for 20 years or so... 8)

And I AM a nature lover..... I would stand outside the Evan's place, in the natural environment [looking thru the window] ;)
