So You Think You Can’t RP – Part Three

Hello and welcome to the next part in a series of blogs on role-playing. I discussed the very basic “ground rules” in part one, and the basics of building your character in part two. Today I’m going to talk about the setting: that is, the time and place in which you will be RPing.

When most people think of role play games (RPGs), they immediately think of a quasi-medieval fantasy setting, with elves and wizards and travel by horseback and combat with swords and axes. And it’s true, this is a very commonplace setting. However, it is only one of myriad possibilities. Other popular settings are based on a “canon”; that is, an already created series of novels (such as Gor or Harry Potter) or TV series (such as Star Trek or Dr. Who) or movies (such as Star Wars or Alien). Other settings still may be based (in varying degrees of looseness) on history: I’ve seen ancient Greek, Roman, and Egyptian RP sims; as well as Wild West, strict Medieval, and 1930s-1940s. I’ve even heard of RP sims based on video games like Sonic the Hedgehog, Final Fantasy, or Resident Evil. Others have a concept that may be inspired by some books or movies but go in their own direction to take on a life of their own, such as the ever-popular Steampunk genre.
