All right so like the Ravecast we are going to once again take it from the top with creating a character.  This is not going to be the step by step we did last year with our good friend Luxx this is more about how to make your character your own and not like every other Fighter /Rouge out there.   How to you create a personality for a make believe character.

This and more with Kira and Drue this week on Rock and Roleplay! Saturday 3-6 pm Pacific time!

Being a new player, otherwise known as a “newb” or “newbie”. Every games is different, and the typical catalyst for future gaming beyond the newbie areas would be the quality of content and its brain-sucking power in the first 10 levels of the game.

Join Leonai_art & Luxx as they talk about the varieties of games and their experiences within the first 10 levels of gaming and more on The Ravecast.
