RPG Dress Up Games Online
RPG's come in all sorts of various forms and styles. Some of the most creative (and oddly enough undiscovered) types of RPG's are the RPG dress up games online. These are known as PNPRPG's (pen and paper role-playing games). This type of RPG really throws you and your friends into the game. When you dress up as your character you get a much stronger feeling of actually being that character. Instead of just acting out a few directives from a piece of paper, you in essence become the person you are trying to portray. I've seen the greatest skeptics ever so slowly warm up to this idea (they are usually the ones who put in the most effort into costume design in the end!) Each character is formed uniquely and innovatively based on the player's own personality.
A wonderful branch of the RPG dress up games online is the exciting murder mystery evenings. A murder mystery evening is a fabulous idea for a holiday party, staff party, special event, or even just a great way of spicing up another ordinary dinner party. Each guest comes dressed in character, and the mystery is played out over dinner and throughout the entire evening. These are loads of fun, and offer a really original twist for any party.
Murder mysteries are usually sold in packages or kits. These kits include guest lists, instructions for the host, character info (including details about the character's background and any other information the character will need to participate in the evening), as well as some basic rules (and a few rules that can be customized to fit your individual group). They can also come with fun costume tips, award certificates for the winner, and even customer service for quick adlibbing in case of emergencies!
I see the gears churning in your mind already. 'Well, where can I get some RPG dress up games online? I've looked, and there don't seem to be too many out there.' Truth be told is you are right. There aren't very many RPG dress up games online to choose from. (Note: if you are not having any luck finding good results through your search engine, try using words like dinner and a murder or murder mystery kits. These may have better outcomes.) Here is an excellent site that I found: http://www.dinnerandamurder.com/. (This site is for those interested in spending a little bit of money on the kits.) Obviously, the games are only sold online, and they are played offline with a group of friends, co-workers, or neighbors.
