Malicious and VK discuss basic character development in a realistic (FiveM/RedM) styled roleplay setting and how it compares to pen & paper RPG's by using the Dungeons & Dragons alignment chart as an example. When building out a character that you are going to play, it's okay if they aren't all powerful and more realistic to give them some hinderances to create more interesting roleplay scenarios. Allowing yourself to be more creative with your characters backstory gives you guidelines to use to better make decisions for that character.

Hi there, we’re Candace (VampireKitten) and Matt (MaliciousSnip3r), two extremely like minded people that somehow found ourselves running a roleplaying gaming community on FiveM. That gaming community is expanding into loads of other games. We decided to start a podcast to talk about our journey, help new players get involved in roleplaying games and discuss weird world topics that interest us.

In this first episode we discuss...

- Introductions
- Escapism and the Social/Accessibility Aspects of Roleplay
- Why Alter Reality?
- Understanding Serious Roleplay & Character Development
- Separating In-Character (IC) from Out-Of-Character (OOC)
- Making an Active an Effort to Roleplay with Others
