Introducing the WrA Tavern RP Discord’s Adventure Project! It’s an ongoing, inclusive roleplay event system.
Last year when we started talking about growing RP on WrA, one of the things that occurred to me was that there seemed to be a lack of plotted RP events. We have taverns, markets, festivals, etc. But we don’t have adventures.
At the time, I’d been RPing in a different game that had a player-run system for small story-driven events with follow up and I wanted to bring it back to WrA. Unfortunately at that point, I wasn’t done percolating on just how to fit it into WoW. Now I am.
Enter the Adventure Project: A casual, flexible, story-rich RP event system built for the WrA community, hosted by the WrA Tavern RP Discord.
What we are:
- In-Game Participation: Cross faction, level 70+, groups of up to 10 players plus the DM.
- In-Game Exploration: We’ll be visiting unused zones, cities, raids and other locales, as well as the occasional RP hub.
- Drop-in Friendly: Events are designed as one-shots. Come to one, a few, or all! Players can skip events but pick back up for later events or in Discord. Swap alts or stick to one character - your call.
- Super Interactive: Extend participation beyond the event! Share IC stories from the field, research, screenshots or missives in the Adventure Project IC channels (please note that no actual RP in the Discord will be required in order to attend in-game events).
- Discord RP: Even if you can’t make an event, you’re more than welcome to RP with participants in the IC channel, read or lurk!
- The WrA-RP Reliquary: Help build a collection of artifacts and items recovered during RP (or sell, steal and fence the items for Discord currency!).
- Ticket System: Interact with DMs by opening tickets in Discord to research reliquary items, destroy, sell or steal them (will require questions, simple 1-20 rolls, possibly screenshots).
- Earn ‘For Fun’ Rewards: Gain Discord recognition, roles/colors, renown/infamy or currency to buy custom items to use in your next RP.
- NPC Interaction: Engage with actor NPCs in-game or in Discord when applicable.
- Transparency: Event summaries will be posted in this forum thread and on the Discord. Various tidbits may also make their way into the Wyrmrest Quill!
What we’re not:
- Not Rules Heavy: You already know how to RP. We’re not here to micromanage your emotes.
- Not PvP/PvE Focused: Our events will be strictly rolls and not mechanics.
- Not a Campaign: This system has ease of entry. Players shouldn’t feel like there’s no reason to participate just because they miss one event or are starting at event number 5.
- Not Roll-Heavy: We won’t be forcing anyone to stat out a character sheet or learn a complicated rule set. Our rolls will be simple (investigative, initiative, attack/defense, etc.). You show up, you RP and you do some simple 1-20 rolls when asked. That’s it!
- Not Weekly: Expect 1 or 2 events per month, with a ~3 hour window planned.
- Not Server Canon: Our stories, titles, items and event outcomes are just for fun! What we do isn’t some kind of set in stone event that the server has to acknowledge.
Future plans include TRP items, tie-ins to in-game holidays, expacs or events, and specialty IC items to buy with earned IC currencies.
And that’s it! If you’re looking to join an expedition, search out mysteries or just lurk and enjoy the ride, the Adventure Project is for you!
Discord channels and first event info will post up around June 1st. Expect the first event to happen sometime in late June.
