Review: Hearth & Shield
Classic review by Heather • September 2011 • The RPG (as it was)
This is a review of the RPG Hearth & Shield.
| Style of RPG | Forum; jcink |
|---|---|
| Canon/Genre | Canon; Emelan series by Tamora Pierce. |
| Originality | Emelan tends to get overshadowed by Tamora Pierce's longer and more popular Tortall series, so it is refreshing to see an Emelan RPG. |
| Rating | PG13. |
| Amount of Characters | 23 |
| Date Opened | September 13th 2010. |
| Roleplaying Level | Advanced. |
| Average Post Length | 4 - 6 + Paragraphs |
| Activity Level | Ranges from a few posts a day to several posts a week. |
| Characters Accepted | Original. |
| Appearance | Simple, warm and elegant. |
| Navigation | Super easy, I especially love the simple idea of a 'Table of Contents' which lays everything out so clearly. |
| Plot Information | Plenty is provided, including a small update of current events at the top of the sidebar on the left. |
| RPG Information | Every aspect of the RPG appears to have been covered in the information, including a FAQ topic that answers any questions you may have left over. The RPG has sucessfully adapted itself to be open to anyone who has not read the Emelan series, as well as those familar with the books. |
| The Admin | An easy to find guest-friendly section which is answered quickly by friendly Mods. |
| Application Process | There are two versions of the application form; simple and detailed depending on a player's preference which I think is a nice touch. Both include character details and a writing sample which is posted in a new topic. |
| Other Comments | N/A. |
