RPG members and Interactive followers

I often have people ask me how they go about joining our Voyager role playing group.

Actually, there are three different ways that you can interact with us and be a part of the fun.

1. Follow us and chat – just follow all of the players (there is a list on the right hand side of this blog) and watch what goes on. Then just talk to us either in character or out of character. For example, during one recent storyline, Janeway was going to take a variety of seeds and cuttings to a planet so they would have a greater variety of edible plants. One follower suggested to bring recipes along with them, since you cannot have new fruits and vegetables without knowing how to prepare them. It worked right in with the storyline, so Janeway sent a note to Seven of Nine right away to tell her to include recipes along with the seeds and cuttings.
2. Become an in-character interactive follower – this is a little bit different than just following us and chatting with us. An in character interactive follower might actually interact on the ship with us. This is the first step to becoming a member of the role-playing group. You can create your own character and then we will work with you so that you can get used to coordinating storylines and short scenes with the players. This way you can get used to how we interact with each other when we role-play, how to read a scene, how to ad-lib and play off of each other, etc. If you want some information about becoming an in-character interactive follower, please e-mail Shara at sharatheorion@hotmail.com  and she will work with you to set something up.
3. Become a member of the role-playing group – in order to become a member of the role-playing group, you will first have to have some time as an in-character interactive follower. This will make sure that your role-playing style meshes well with ours and that you can work well with the other group members. It also gives you a chance to get used to us and in the way we do things before you have to worry about any type of time commitment. If you are a member of the role-playing group, you will be invited to join our e-mail group and to help us plot storylines. The e-mail group is what we use behind-the-scenes in order to develop our major story lines and plot developments.

 

Simply following all of us and reading the story lines is fun, but interacting with us is even more fun. Hope to hear from you soon.
