10 Ways Role Play Can Go Terribly (And Hilariously) Wrong
Too much backstory
If you’re going to play a hot farmer’s daughter hooking up with a cowboy passing through town for the night, you don’t really need to give the specifics of how you get the bigger bedroom now because your older sibling died from polio and that you have the house all to yourselves because your father is at the vet with a cow that had complications during labor. Yeah, you can skip all that. A surprisingly little amount of backstory is needed to get into roleplay. Nobody will test you in the hopes you have an airtight story.
