An Introduction to Roleplay-by-Post What is Roleplaying? Roleplaying is the name given to the collaboration of two or more people who act out a given scenario. In terms of play-by-post, this means that two or more players write out a short story, either as the initial post or in response to new posts. Roleplay-by-post is often done on a forum board, but it can also simply be done by emailing one another, though this means that the audience is limited to the players themselves. The result is a collaborative
The Role of Role Playing in Farewell to Arms Listening to the radio today, I heard a song written a couple years ago that reminded me a lot of the relationship between Catherine and Henry in Hemingway’s novel Farewell to Arms. In this song, a girl asks a guy if he will be strong enough to be her man. She asks this question many times, each time changing the scenario for the worse in which she places them. Plaintively she implores, "will you be strong enough to be my man?" She seeks reassurance of
In reality I was born a white, Caucasian female, and now that I am older I am can identify as heterosexual. Before I started university I never had much experience with the label of ‘white privilege’, I grew up around the same type of people, and I had friends that had a similar lifestyle. I was never aware of the marginalization of other social groups and cultures until I was in early to late teens. I know that the title ‘white privilege’ does apply to me, I grew up in an upper middle class household
Introduction: I love games with spaceships in them, and have played almost every game for the PC with a spaceship in it since the mid 1980’s. Why am I bringing this up? Because the game I’m reviewing in, Star Wolves 3: Civil War, is just littered with spaceships. Does that make me more biased, or maybe more critical? It’s hard to say, but as someone who really enjoyed the previous two Star Wolves installments, I was pretty thrilled to take a crack at this new one. Let’s dive in and take a look
TASK: Assess four teaching methods and strategies used in your school and discus innovations that should take place to make them more effective and learner centred. ASSESSMENT OF TEACHING METHODS AND STRATEGIES The biggest challenge before a teacher is the presentation of a lesson. If a lesson presentation is effective, students can reach the goals of life by acquisition of knowledge; and if the teacher is unsuccessful in his presentation, it is impossible to achieve the educational objectives
Prose Roleplay: The Unknown Medium When you think of the term ‘roleplaying’ many things might come to mind: The man in his early 30’s still living in his parent’s basement – licking the nacho cheese crumbs from his fingers whilst playing World of Warcraft. The girl desperately trying to keep her fingers out of harm’s way as she frantically tries to finish her costume before the big LARP event at noon. The group of close friends sitting down after weeks of planning to finally start a Dungeons & Dragons
Urie Bronfenbrenner created the ecological systems theory of child development. This theory suggests that we encounter different environmental systems, which shape (influences) us. These systems are known as the microsystem, the mesosystem, the exosystem, the macro system, and the chronosystem. According to the Woolfolk text, social development is influenced by relationships in the micro system, people we have direct social interaction with. Family, friends, classmates, teachers, neighbors and other

Play is a verb that describes when one “engages in an activity for enjoyment and recreation rather than a serious or practical purpose”. (Oxford Dictionary 2014) Play relates to the notion of “having fun” and defines the idea of “frivolity, light hearted, chaotic, free and open (child’s play), repetitive (ritual/child’s play/instrument), leisurely, productive, non-productive (opposite of work), creative, profane, sacred, innocent, competitive, interpretive, simulation, improvisation, happy (opposite
The game Path of Exile or POE is an online roleplaying action game that is set in the fantasy world of Wraeclast. The game is free to play with in-game perks available in the online game store. These perks will not impact the gameplay since they're cosmetic like skins and animations or stash tabs for storing loot. Currency Instead of gold or cash currency in POE, there are orbs and scrolls that can be used for purchasing gear and gems from other players. There's no traditional auction house so

I also have a
The Theory For this week's discussion the theory that resonated with me the most is the Cognitive Behavioral Theory with Dr. Krumboltz. I have always been drawn to the CBT, as I feel that an individual's negative or destructive behaviors can be changed for the better with the right intervention, client understanding, acceptance and awareness of their role in their behavior. Dr. Krumboltz terms this as a learning approach (01:35). The video displays Dr. Krumboltz and his client Robin discussing
as well as name general principles are also effective ways to help members see how they can be applied to other situations. Leaders also need to help members become more aware of their own abilities to resolve their problems. Exercises such as roleplaying are essential in learning how to practice these
Iago and Othello In Shakespeare's Othello, the character Iago, Othello's lieutenant, is the cause of all the tragedy which comes to pass as the play progresses. Iago is the antagonist of the play, but rather than being the direct opponent to the tragic hero, Iago is a manipulator, opposing Othello not directly but through other characters whom he tricks into acting for him. In the first scene of the play, Iago gives the audience warning that he is not all that he seems when he says, "I am not
uncivilized because of their position of authority and the perceived inferiority of the impoverished (Doc 7). These attitudes are similar to those developed by the participants of the Zimbardo prison study in 1972. The Zimbardo study focused on how roleplaying impacts ones perception and treatment of others. Participants were divided into groups of prisoners and guards, those assigned the roles of guards quickly adjusted and became consumed by their position pif authority. Despite being average college
The Stanford Prison Experiment (SPE) is a well-known simulation study conducted by a team of researchers led by Professor P. Zimbardo in the Stanford University, US, in August 1971. To better understand its development but also its findings and conclusions, it is important to underline the context in which this experiment took place. Since 1968, along with the rest of Europe, America underwent a long sense of protests and riots amongst the population. In 1971, less than a month after the end of the
rid their home of evil spirits (after which Ed began the long lasting journey through hell to bring the story to the big screen years later.) Some of these qualities of the movie are quite charming; like the period hairstyles, or the style of the roleplaying and standards by Lili Taylor and Ron Livingston to play the Perron parents. Other claims of truthiness, though, are way less enjoyable. There are, of course, actual photos and the newspaper clippings that play over the end credits. And then, at
I fondly remember playing school with my sister as a child. In these roleplaying games I was always the teacher, and she was always the student. As we grew up, and started having our friends over, my class size grew, at times reaching six or seven “students”. Although I did not fully understand or recognize it at the time, teaching has always been a passion of mine. As I got older, entering high school, my priorities changed, I no longer recognized teaching as my future. I thought that architecture
In the book See Ya Simon by David Hill one of the main characters is Simon Shaw. Simon has Muscular Dystrophy and doesn’t have very long to live. This book is about him and his friend Nathan and all the stuff they do together in Simon’s final year of life. Simon is important because the story is about him having Muscular Dystrophy. He teaches us that having Muscular Dystrophy is difficult but he shows that it doesn’t hold him back and that he can do pretty much anything. He teaches us to live life
Normally when thinking of asking a homeless person how they became that way, the most common way of thinking is that they went bankrupt or made poor decisions in life. However, many of them will say that they became that way because of broken relationships with people. America is seeming to ignore the importance of friendship in life. Friendship is much more significant for better health and stronger social connections. Good friends will help you through life; if none seem to do that, they probably
