When it comes to role-play, some people can find it daunting. There is a lot to take in, a lot to manage, a lot to consider and a lot to learn. Some may even find it over-whelming when they wish to take their first steps and try it out.
To this, I have compiled several guides to help those who are new to role-play, touching on subjects commonly seen in role-play, as well as those who wish to expand into hosting their own events.

Narcissus is a great addon to use to help make in-game screenshots. These in turn can be used to help promote your role-play events by allowing to ‘show’ a scene instead of simply ‘telling’ through written words.
It opens up a whole world of possibilities where you can show off your character performing acts that simply can’t be done with in-game means alone and can really help expand opportunities.
