While our chatters are the heart and soul of roleplay, rooms are what give their characters a place to become incarnate. Managing rooms can be a difficult but ultimately rewarding task, and each leader has taken their own road to the “top”. In this issue, Joy Naomi gives us a look into the world of Ruins of Aetheria.

What is your name?

Psychobarbie, or Holly, either way.

What is the name of your room and what section is it in?

Ruins of Aetheria in Fantasy Envisioned

How did your room come about?

I really like Skyrim?

What kind of things do you think sets your room apart from the others like it?

Well, we’ve got the random events pulldown which gives you a start off point into r/p if you’re not sure what to do.

What kind of things have you done to make it more fun?

Well, the room is pretty much open to anything, so any character is playable in the world due to how it’s set up. It tends to put people more at ease to at least know their character even if they aren’t familiar with the room setting.

What kind of scenes can we see within your room?

The world is obviously fantasy so there are dragons, trolls, mages, elves, and different races like the cat or reptile races, so you can really see about anything going on.

What is your favorite thing about the style of play done in your room?

I just love the “anything can happen” idea of the room.

What is your favorite character that has ever been in the room?

Well, Kysa Lundgren (Joy’s character) is an example of anything can happen.

Has your room ever had events? If so, what?

Not yet.

What is the funniest thing you can recall ever happening in play?

A character that has a pet dragon that was in the palace of the high king of Skyrim and ate the tapestries.

What would you like people to know about your room? Give it a chance?

You really can play anything in the room – just because it’s set in a certain room and theme doesn’t mean you can’t play other characters. It’s just a matter of diving in.
