[Information] For the less roleplay savvy amongst us...

The plot cannot be delayed by any means in any RPG
the party could literally sit under a tree with their thumb up their ass and the plot will happen forcing them to remove said thumb and act
also:
please remember when you are playing a character however that they are more then a sheet of paper (or 1's and 0's in this case) do something to make them so. act against the gamemaster if its your characters personality, give them their own personality. when you play them don't play them like how you would act, play them like how they would act and think about the 'world' around them. this is the key to learning the RP of RPG.

-Putting the RP back in RPG

Think back to the good ol' times of DnD. Try to make your character a representation of you, or your exact opposite. Be creative.

or anywhere inbetween create flaws, make them develop your character, and have them develop as the game goes on
