The RP Survival Guide

The RP Survival Guide has a three fold purpose:

1) It is here to help new role-players.
2) It is also for experienced role-players to draw from.
3) It’s also for Non-RPers to understand role-playing.

While there is some Warcraft-focused parts, the guide can easily be adapted to whatever game is out there that lends itself to role-playing. This also goes for tabletop/pen and paper “Old School” gaming (Yay!).

I hope this helps! This is a work in progress, so there will be more updates. Feel free to suggest anything that may be great to add. More on the way!
