[/div][div class=info]Roleplay of the Month
@Magical Squid Senpai[/div][/div]
Give everyone a quick summary about your roleplay.
This House Has Monsters In It is set in the woods of a town called Yellow Thorn. The town had been cursed by the oldest Rosenthal sister who was a witch. The curse causes the whole towns years to move slower then usual. So everything they have is very very outdated. Each new year means that they may be able to get something new into the town. Last year a copy of the Ledged of Zelda: Ocarina of time was able to make it through, adding one more game to the monsters GameCube. The curse also makes it very hard for any outsiders to make it in. Except for the monsters. If a little monster is lost, cast aside, or in trouble, they will be guided through the woods where they will eventually find the house of Rose. There they will stay and be taken care of by a witch who they call Mama Rose. They have freedom to explore the woods but must never step foot into the town.
What inspired you to create this roleplay?
I had been in an rp that was similar to this. Kids living with their spooky dad in the woods. I really missed that rp so I mixed it with some of my already existing ocs. Plus it was close to Halloween and I really wanted to have some monsters in the woods!
What do you enjoy most about GMing?
Hmmm...I don't know. I'm not used to being a gm honestly.
How do you overcome your struggles as a GM?
I bother my friends and force them to become gms with me! Specifically Gingerbread and Steve/warren/metalcity/mcwarz/MC-WARZ-1992.
How did you come about roleplaying?
I started on a site called chatzy with an x-friend of mine.
How did you discover RpNation?
Once I saw how much fun rping was, I started looking for some sites. RpNation was the only site that had a very nice layout and gave me the ability to change text colors. So I stayed.
How long have you been roleplaying?
Six years!
What is one thing you want to improve with your writing and why?
Well being on rpn has helped my writing a lot. I would say I want to just improve everything.
What do you want to dress up as for Halloween?
Velma Dinkley!
Quick, make a character based on the last thing you ate or drank!
Cornelius von Spice. Nickname: Pumpkin. A small woodland fairy who specializes in all things fall. He is fun and loves to bother others. He does hate the fact that he can only make recipes with pumpkins in them. But his pumpkin bread is so good it'll transport your taste buds to another dimension.
Would you rather only be able to speak in rhyme or only be able to speak using alliteration?
Speak in rhyme. It seems cool.
Do you have any other projects in the works that you would like to share?
Be sure to be on the lookout for Lakoria 3: Electric boogaloo. Coming some day maybe.[/div]

Why is everyone so terrified of the starter/first post? asks a question to a common problem many face; the first post for a roleplay. You can read how others feel when it comes to being the one to create the first pose; positive and negative. If you find yourself scared of creating the first post you can come and see you're not the only one and even share your reasons why you struggle with them

Knitting needles is an action-packed story that has itself an unexpected twist! Madge is your typical grumpy 84-year-old lady, living life as normal when her routine is interrupted by an old "friend". Suddenly, however, things take a dark and gory turn, accompanied by lots of gritty humour! We won't spoil anything for you, but this entry goes from 1 to 100 real quick. Give it a read!

Turning hair into lightning, calling upon the spirit of an ancient wolf, do you have an amazing spell idea to share? What tales would another find for it? "The Great Book of Spells With Stories" is a rather unique forum game idea, and who knows, you may even find some inspiration here for your own tales of wonder and magic.
