If you're here, in the third of VirtualWorldlets' Role-Play categories, then you probably know what role-playing is, you know how to do it, but what are the benefits of it? What do you gain from role-playing that you wouldn't, by just treating the world as a game?
 | Why Do I Roleplay?
| | The author explains their personal experiences of the benefit of role-play. This article deserves a read. | | Play the character, not the game
| | This story-based paper examines the different challenges, experiences, and memories available in role-play, and other types of 'game', in order to showcase the advantage of the one over the other. This one makes its point well. | | Roleplaying is like a polyfractal prism
| | This fascinating article compares the art of role-play, to peeting through facets of a marvelous gem, the more facets you can look through at a time, the better a roleplayer you are. Read it. |  | Quick Start: Developing Your Character | | A solid, and badly needed guideline on creating a character which is sensible, and believable. Covers the creation of the backstory, and motivation for your character's actions - a point often missed by the new, or casual role-player. | |
| Placards
| | This short article, written in response to a forum post at another site, whose origin is, sadly, unknown, expresses the need of Role-Playing gamers to present a united front by embrasing differences between gamers, rather than suppressing, or ignoring them. As the author points out, these actions damage the RP gaming community as a whole. | | The Ethical development of Detail
| | This article is designed to mark a line in the sand, to clarify the principles which the author firmly believes are needed to stop "righteous internal sabotage by players, in the name of roleplaying". | | It was never about Hats!
| | This article stands as a statement against the compartmentalisation of ideas, genres, et al. You should be free to use ideas, concepts, and more, from any 'genre', into any world. | |
