Well, honestly if you have writer's block on a RP, you need to think less.

RP's are for fun usually, so if it becomes a job, then your trying to hard. Just try and relax.

Right, and if you're having trouble leading an RP (coming up with new events and twists), try following. Just keep a solid idea of who your character is, and try to be as faithful to their personality as possible in whatever situation comes up. Let it flow naturally, instead of forcing it.

I will see if that helps thanks guys. Two more questions: should I get the flag2RSP add-on, and should I walk up to someone and greet them by their class or pretend that I can't see their class?

I know nothing of the first but for the second, I would only assume your character knows their class if it's apparent by something they're doing (IE: Spell they're casting) or by something they are wearing. Otherwise how would you know a human warrior in simple mail armor from a human paladin in simple mail armor?

You usually don't assume anything during RP'ing, if you know everything it takes the fun out of it.

That's called Meta gaming, actually, and it's a mistake alot of newer RPers make.

You know, some people are doing something in one place, and another person comes out of nowhere to help them, with no explanation of why they decided to just go there all of a sudden.

Or, y'know, the class thing.

It depends on how you write

Look on "Battle for Nordrassil"

Im Norok Bloodbane. you see my texts are set out in lines spearated my paragraphs and is effective. Then look for Grakmoth. His are 1 line maybe 2, but are as efective as anyone elses.

- Ram your head against the computer screen several times. If it breaks before you you'll usually have something.

- Just kidding. Delve into your character's personality, their exprience's throughout the rest of the RP. And if they're with someone not in combat, just open up a bit of small talk, if they are in combat or doing nothing, have them fight.

- It takes a bit of thinking, but not much. And if your not worried about making it sound like a novel then its easier too.

I have a few good ways to get my mind flowing:

Take a walk. - Really, doing something that takes you totally away from everything, in a total other element really helps - as long as you're away from your computer. The "stress" is removed, and by not thinking about it... you come to think about it, as the brain gets to relax. You wouldn't believe the situations I've thought up some useful stuff for an exam, a story or a good base for some nice theorizing.
Read others works. - It's basic inspiration, basically. It's not about looking for specific things you can use in a special form, but more to get the mind flowing.

Hope that helps! :)
