Role Playing in Second Life- Piers Diesel Reporting...





According to Wikipedia, (2014) Role playing is refers to as “taking a role of an existing character or person and acting it out with a partner taking someone else's role, often involving different genres of practice” 


We have all sometime in our lives, role played, beginning in childhood when our imagination was running wild. For example, boys pretending to be superheroes by jumping off of household furniture and being yelled at by mothers saying, “this is not a playground!” Little girls may have role played being a princess or even acted out scenarios using Barbies with friends. Role play has evolved significantly from those times with the rapid expansion of technology and more adults are participating in creative ways.


Role play in Second Life has a large community. From vampires, fairies, lycans and furries characters to ancient, medieval and combat sims where RP residents can actually play whatever role they would like with their friends from real world history, popular video game, movie or computer game story lines.

If you have always wanted to RP but do not know where to go, here is a list of locations in Second Life to explore. Keep in mind that there are many different genres of role play out there that can be found using the Second Life search engine.




Before you begin role playing in Second Life, you might want to go through some training so you don’t seem like an out of place noob in the middle of the action.

Harrowdale is a medieval fantasy role-play sim located in the D&D setting of Forgotten Realms (Faerun) post-spell plague. It is set in a wintry theme.
Story line

After the Spell plague, the formerly thriving town and port of Harrowdale suffered great changes. The trade routes were cut off, the ships stopped coming. Only parts of the town remain, the rest sank into the see and when the earth broke open, a river formed and swallowed a good part of the houses. The changes to the landscape itself caused the port to be cut off from the remaining parts of the town, now a place for the worst kinds of people to linger. Former populated roads are now nothing but muddy paths.
