Looking for people who take Heavy Role play as far as they can.

I have been paying "RP tabletops" for a wile now and i have always had the problem of getting people that take role play the same way i do. I have always believed that role play is to take on a persona, to use his/her voice and to have there thoughts run through your head. I am looking for the opportunity to talk to people that see it the same way and get a repor going so that we can maybe one day all do a game together. If you are interested Skype me. I am 123mind123

yes. I also do acting and voice acting, along with writing.

Is that heavy RP? Well thats news for me. I have always seen heavy RP as when you do not go meta and using accents, dialects call if what you want; Distorting your voice to fit the character and act from a characters perspective thats just RP to me. In the IRL group that I used to play with we took it even further, we sat around a table, dressed up as out characters and such. I was dressed in a pair of blue jeans, a doctors coat, a knitted shirt under and a top hat. (Was a post apocgame). But to me that is normal that you try and live into your character as much as you can. It might be different in US or other places or just different kinds of groups but I have always RP'ed that way. We have people that keep a IC diary IRL written in the fictional language. Such as elvish or the like. Had a minstrell once that composed songs that he sang IRL when his character did it and it was just amazing.

If you're looking to recruit people, I can move this to the Looking For Group Forum.

not recruiting just looking to make friend

When I play my star wars d6 outlaw, I wear a pirate patch and a sort of wide sleeve silk shirt. Another guy has an expensive replica force FX lightsaber he fires up when his character does. A different guy different group wears a cloak for his bounty hunter Star wars guy. A guy who plays an R2 unit has an electronic 31 in one kit from radio shack that makes all the R2 noises, and the player never says a word, he just beeps or blips or hoots with that board thing and we got to guess, but he's been doing it for years so he's pretty good at sounding sad or pissed off, or excited. A different guy in that group wears a wookie haloween mask, and a brown sweater with hair glued to it from the craft store. I love these people. I have known them over 20 years. Edgy, but fun.

i never really have gotten to heavy role play. i tr, but my friends ten to like to do stuff like move there token over another person's or say random out of character things just because. i like my friends, but they don't make heavy role playing possible. on a side note, i don't think i would ever try and change my voice for my character, just because i am a horrible VA.

No reason you should not try. I mean how will you ever become good?

123mind123 said: No reason you should not try. I mean how will you ever become good? That's what I keep saying, about other things. But not everyone wants to become good at the same things. We tend to get good at what interests us, in a way that interests us, hence all the variation in this hobby.

i don't know, it just feels awkward when someone is talking in this horrible and sometimes offensive voice and well, ya. i do belive you should become the character, but i feel like it isn't that necessary to try and sound like something you aren't. now if i had a voice changer like my friend i would totally use that. :)

you do have one. it is a genetic one you where given at berth. oh and if it was rude actors would be out of business. :D

A lot of this stuff is obviously mishandled as Monty Pythonish villagers. I see a lot of that too. Both sides of the Table, DMs and Players. But some games are cartoonish fun like that. sort of order of the stick, or knights of the dinner table sort of loose fun.

i'm not saying voice acting is offensive usually, but i have heard some really bad accents and voices. my thing is i don't mind it, but when it is that bad (which with my friends it often is) it becomes hard to focus. as for the voice changer, you know what i ment.

well that depends on how serious your players are.

I don't think I could take a group remotely serious if people were wearing Halloween masks and pirate shirts. Different strokes and all, but wow. Maybe in a LARP, and then only if it's done seriously well. To me serious role-playing is having a well thought out character as opposed to just well thought mechanics (with the implication being you need both).

I have known people who bought pilot jackets complete with house "flight patches" for battletech. Or Race car driver jackets for 50 bucks to play a game called Stock Car Championship. None of these guys are roleplayers, just more or less wargamers. I used to know a woman who played morrow project with a complete green coveralls suit with all the appropriate Morrow Project patches and a airsoft .45 on her hip. Cowboy hats in various colors to play Boot hill. Dark or Mirror shades and leather long coat duster jackets for cyberpunk. And most of us are old school. When I GM a modern military game, I wear my desert storm field shirt, and a chocolate chips camo do-rag. We use walkie talkies. Many would say, yeah too much. When I played Vampire, I wore a silk cape, fangs powdered wig the whole bit that my then girlfriend a film costumer arranged / made, rigged up for me. I added a sash with russian medals (A tremere from da olt country.) It's fun. When I GM D&D, I wear a "I'm the DM" t-shirt. Traveller, I wear my 25th anniversary of Traveller woolen knit shirt.

I twice didn't wear pants when roleplaying a horny Cleric. Does that count?

Absolutely. How much XP did the GM give you?

@Lee-that is AWSOME. uncomfortable for everyone else, but I love it. @Trollkin-Boot Hill 3rd edition has long been one of my favorite systems. You can really get your heart pumping when you're facing down a horse thief toe to toe. You just never know when you'll need that crappy luck check for when the bell tolls. On topic-123Mind123, I enjoy all the IC play I can get but I definitely need my players to "keep it real." Too much IC can get weird. Especially when two Heterosexual male 30-somethings have characters involved with each other romantically. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy awkward guy on guy flirting as much as the next GM. :)

Yeah boot hill was pretty good. I liked 3rd because of the better implementation of skills.
