Obviously, a RP is meant to be fun - whatever fun means for each of you. But there has to be a little research too, the basic stuffs. Why? Well, you don't wanna say that a guy living in England goes to a cinema in Chicago, right? Or an Englishman drinking his coffee at 5 o'clock instead of tea. And yes, they put milk in their tea. Or a samurai having a Suzuki or whatever other current brand of vehicle you want. Got the point?
Now, this is more important when you're serious about the RP you're doing. Even more important if it's placed in the past or in a country with all kinds of traditions. So what you must basically know is the style (as clothing, buildings, hair, make-up if necessarily), the traditions (if you want to conține any), the foods (i.e: according to Shogun by James Clavell, Japanese people were eating only fish at that time, not any other kind of meat; in the present, I don't know, but I suppose things changed) and other details that relate to your RP.
That's all. I just felt the need to mention because I actually found the examples above in RPs. |
