How to Roleplay

Have you ever noticed that roleplaying game texts always skips the part in which they tell you HOW to roleplay? They'll usually have a section that says "it's a conversation!" or "it's like playing make-believe", but it seldom goes beyond that, and you're left knowing how to make an attack roll, but not how to roleplay that attack.

There's a good reason for that! Roleplaying is a hobby that spread tribally. That means that a person introduces you to the hobby, and teaches you how to roleplay. Then you go on and introduce other people to it, teaching them as well, and they will go on etc etc.

It's like a pyramid scheme, but with no money involved (HOPEFULLY).

I don't want to change that about roleplaying, I like the fact that people are enthusiastic about it and make other people enthusiastic about it! But I would like to talk about the techniques that are used in roleplay, share what I know, and learn about them.

So I decided to create a zine that aims to teach the basics of roleplay. Techniques you can use (and probably already are using) in almost every game that gives you space to roleplay.
