The Main Study:


*Ktala walks in, pushing up on her glasses, and clears her throat to get everyone's attention:*

I just wanted to say, that there are many ways that you can help the academy grow. Not only can you volunteer your time to give a class, you can also help out by PM'ing me suggestions that you would like to see for possible classes, RPG Mini-Games, and discussion.

Right now, I have a few suggestions that have already been sent to me. Here are a few of them. Any of our instructors wish to tackle any of these classes? Please let me know.

Thanks!

----------------------------
POSSIBLE Class ideas:


I want to play, but...Where to Jump in? - Finding a game to join.
How To Make A Realistic Character - No Twinks allowed!
Role-Playing Posting for Dummies


How to Play:
Non-Human Characters
Fantasy Characters
Force Using Characters
Evil, while staying within the PG-13 level of the board

The difference between a New Player (Newbie) and a n00B!!
The Top Ten Things - that can REALLY TICK OFF a GM!!
The Top Ten Things - that can REALLY ANNOY a Player!

It's Not you - It's Me! - Picking a GM.
(Games Styles, and Different Styles of Play)

=-=-=-

Thanks.

Do we have to have been a member of the boards for some specific time before we're allowed to participate?

Well, Skiara, to answer your question:

Those people who give a class, will given a written write up on the subject given. After that is presented, students can ask questions on the material given.

Darthramza - No time limits. I am most happy to work around whatever time schedule you have to deal with.

Qui-Gon_Reborn - No, No limits. I know plenty of folks who came to the boards, already experienced players.


So right now, I have Volunteer Instructors for classes:

Imperial_Hammer- "Top 10 Things a Newbie can do to piss of a GM."

Darthramza - "Role-Playing Posting for Dummies"

Qui-Gon_Reborn - "The Top Ten Things - that can REALLY ANNOY a Player!"

JEDIGUNSHIP - "Differences between a Newbie and a n00b"


Instructors.. DO NOT POST YOUR CLASSES DIRECTLY. Please PLEASE, PM them to me first...


THANK YOU!!
grin

Once a class is posted, then we can have discussions on that class..before the next class is presented.

I look forward to seeing your classes.

**Bows**

I'd like to sign up for the mini RPG.

Great to see this posted, I've been kind of nervous about trying RP for a long time, and was always too worried about making mistakes to actually start. blush

BTW, your link is broken.

I hesitated to join a RPG for a long time as well for various reasons, but it's nice to be part of one finally. So I think and hope you'll enjoy it a lot as well. happy

Which link are you speaking about? happy

Fixed the Link. happy

Welcome Aspiration! Hopefully you enjoy your experience RPing here, and you'll soon feel comfortable posting around in the RPF. New Users are the lifeblood of our forums especially, so we're always looking for some new folks to play with us. grin

How to Play:
Non-Human Characters
Fantasy Characters
Force Using Characters
Evil, while staying within the PG-13 level of the board


I think I could handle these lessons one piece at a time . . . except fantasy characters, as I am not really involved into anything I´d call fantasy. Maybe a ToF player would be more appropriate, there.

I´ll prepare my firs lesson, once you give me an ok, but I think others should post more profound lessons first, perhaps.
