The Roleplayer's Handbook
Welcome to the Roleplayer's Handbook. This handbook was created by 500 Days of Summer as a way for more people to understand roleplaying and have a good reference for herself and others. The handbook has four major chapters, or components, that all are needed to for roleplaying. The importance of these four are different for each roleplayer, based on different atmospheres in the roleplaying world. This handbook is specifically for roleplayers on GaiaOnline guilds but will talk about forum roleplaying as well.
