Over the past couple of years, RPR has gotten together with the community and approached members to ask them what makes good RP good. Although almost all of these articles can be found in the News section of the site, I think it might be useful to put the whole bunch here to make it easier. (Sorting through non-RP related articles, like site updates, might be a bit of a pain!)
Not all of these are directly, 100% related to character development. However, all of these are articles dedicated to helping you keep a roleplay fun and/or to work out issues that may inhibit your ability to develop a character in a story. I think they're helpful and valid, so I'm including them.
