Ideas for future articles
Hey roleplayer dudes, thank everyone who submitted to our survey that I emailed out to all members. We’ve now collected lots of information and I’ll be using it to improve the site.
One of the questions asked what sort of articles you’d like to see here on the blog, and here are the results:
The results are split, but it’s clear that the StatCat articles are least popular, and the majority would like to see more helpful advice for roleplayers.
I need you to help write useful advice!
So yeah, if we’re going to post more content on the blog that’s useful to other roleplayers, I need us to combine our experience – and I need you all to write useful articles!
You might be thinking you don’t have any advice to give, but you do. Even if you’ve been a roleplayer for just a short time you’ve learned a lot, and that could help new players. Or if you’ve been roleplaying for many years, you’ve got a wealth of experience – what stories work, what don’t, how to handle other players, how to resolve conflicts, all useful advice that some people might not have learned.
