RP Made Simple

The Robinsuuns Audio Drama

Section: Gaming Culture | No Comments »

Sometimes some folks get a really, really cool idea and run with it. Anyone remember the old radio dramas and serials back in the day? The Shadow, Superman, Flash Gordon, The Lone Ranger? That was storytelling back in the age of radio, before television, dvd’s and most of what we have today for entertainment.

A recent spin on this, merging storytelling, role-playing and World of Warcraft lore is The Draenei Family Robinsuun or The Robinsuuns, for short. Premiering as a feature on the Epic Dolls podcast, it tells the story of a draenei family seeking to stay safe, stay together and “mend a broken world”.

The introduction from their site: http://robinsuuns.blogspot.com/:

The Robinsuuns is a collaborative audio drama creation written by Harper Sylvan. With the audio engineering of Stardancer, joined by the voice talents of friends, family, neighbors, and special guest stars from the RPing and WoW gaming community.

The folks involved have thrown in alot of time, talent and imagination into this endeavor. I’ve been listening to it over the past couple of months and it’s well worth heading over and checking out.

Update: Recently, they’ve added some visuals and animation basics to their episodes.

These can be found at their YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/Robinsuuns
