Roll-Playing vs. Roleplaying

Although DragonRealms offers rich opportunities for both types of activities, many players mistakenly assume that they are role-playing when they are not.
The Universal Mary Sue Litmus Test
A "Mary Sue" is a clichéd character that is unrealistic due to her lack of noteworthy flaws. Mary Sues primarily reflect their players' own wishes and insecurities.
