Howdy, Stranger!

It's not that I haven't RP'd around a tabletop. But RP in MMO's is typically limited to typing for me. I don't feel comfortable RP'ing over voice chat with a stranger or near-stranger.

I love D&D, I love the take on Neverwinter--but the chat buffers are difficult to manage, there are messages that I simply cannot "opt out" of seeing,…
