Types of roleplay
From The Wild Tangents
Roleplay approaches
Intention then Action
- Think about how the character would respond. What would they try to do?
- State it to the GM what you'd like to try to accomplish and why
- GM and player decide on an appropriate skill/action to use mechanically, as well as the circumstances of the DC check.
- see Infodump:Types_of_roleplay#Orphaned_Skill_Checks for some additional context
Roll then Roleplay
- Nothing sucks more than a great roleplay sequence, then to roll like crap and your attempt fails.
- I want to adopt a roll then roleplay baseline, and where characters "fail forward" when rolls come up shitty.
- Following #3 above: once the DC and appropriate skill is sorted out, the result will determine our endpoint.
- Next, comes the fun part of roleplaying how you get from point A to point B in your failed attempt.
