A blog, social network, and an RPG game all in one!

RPG? A normal Role Playing Game can devour countless days, weeks, and even months of your time clicking, rolling dice or whatnot to fight monsters, collect loot, and grow your fictional character, level by level, from lowly peon to amazingly pimped-out, world-conquering badass.

The Problem:   So, when you have to go work or sleep or do something else, what does your character do?   He sits on his duff doing nothing, of course!

The Answer:   WTF!

Create a character on WTF RPG.   Nap while your Necromancer slaves away collecting 62 vials of Hell Beast Bile and 384 Flattened Pedestrian Residues for you.   Or enjoy a beer while your Paladin goes off to face Gorlack the Doomslayer, Terror of the World armed only with Roger's Toilet Brush.   Tired of the classics?   Perhaps the high Fashion Model or Gangster Gun Play is more your style for taking names and kickin' ass.

Once you create a character, he or she starts out ready to go out questing, butchering beasties, looting treasure, and leveling up all on his or her own.

You can take an active role in your character's progress, fine tuning skill interests, choosing quests, and shopping for the latest gear.   Or you can decide to sit back, check up every now and then, and let your character choose the shots.

Good question, because there's a lot you can do!   These tips below now also appear as a helpful interactive guide near the top of the page when you make a new character to help you learn your way around.

1. Select an image for your character by clicking on your character's View : Select Image submenu. The image can be a standard LiveJournal 100x100 avatar, or you can upload any gif, jpg, or png and it will be automatically resized.

2. Choose Skill interests by clicking on your character's View : Edit submenu. These values will be used as a guide for when your character quests on their own. Keep in mind that these values may change if you neglect your character for too long!

3. Go Questing! Just click on your character's Quests menu. There are 3 ways to quest:

• Power Questing
  Choose individual quests by selecting checkboxes, then click the Do Quests Now button. You can maximize experience, loot, or gold. Once you get a feel for your quest options, this is the best way to maximize your results.
• Lazy Questing
  Specify a number of days and allow your character to pick the quests. Get instant results for almost no effort!
• Super Lazy Questing
  Do nothing. Your character will quest on his/her own over time, and you don't even have to lift a finger. Just beware that, left to their own devices, Apathy may set in over time, causing them to stray from a focused, productive course...

4. Go shopping by clicking on your character's Shop menu link. With better loot, your character will quest and duel more effectively and efficiently.

5. Go dueling. At any time you may select another player and click their Duel menu link to see how pathetic they are.

6. Trash Talk. Pick another character you just shredded in a duel or whose hairstyle you disagree with and let them know with an uncompromising invective! Some people suck. Help the world-- inform them before it's too late!

Every character is versed in three different major Combat Skills, such as Lightning, Thug Tactics, or Plagues and Diseases as well as a set of Equipment skills such as Axes, Wands, or the deadly, high-fashion Handbag.   These are different for each character Class.

Additionally, all characters can improve on various non-combat General Skills such as Tailoring, Shopping, Looting, and Sex Charms.   These skills can be a handy tool for providing additional income or benefits, such as armor or equipment for your character.

For instance, if you character wears Mail Armor, such as a Paladin or Model, then Blacksmithing is a good choice for your character to focus on, since it will give your character better armor and weapons than usual-- for much less than the normal cost.

To set your character's skills, View link then the Edit Character link below it.   Your character's skills will show below with a draggable blue slider beneath the normal green skill indicator.   To change the amount of interest and energy your character puts into a skill, drag the blue slider, or edit the neighboring text box, then Update your character.

For more information, see the Comprehensive List of Skills.

Like any RPG, your character grows by gaining experience.   This experience comes from doing Quests.   Each Quest takes a variable amount of time, and rewards your character with experience, and sometimes cash rewards or other loot.   Cha-ching!

Each real day, one entire year passes in Wattadefooka time for your character (4 seasons of 25 days, for a total of 100 Wattadefooka days of quest time).   You can either do the planning and choose quests or let your character choose based on his or her skill interests.   Now, your character is pretty smart, but unlike you, he or she doesn't realize that some people are more than happy to give you a raw deal.

For instance, Witch Anastra Inflammita wants your character to Eviscerate the ruler of the extremely squishy exploding grubs for a measley 135 experience and some Nasty Grub Gut Paste.   While your character might be naieve enough to be so easily exploited, you'll probably notice that Empath Grovesnor has a much better deal going.   Sign your character up to Pound the snot out of 22 armies of belligerent third-graders for him and he'll give you the same experience-- plus 8 gold and a swank new Smokin' Staff of Toasting to boot.

Really, why settle for bug intestines when you could have a nice new Staff that not only beats the crap out of beasties, but makes better waffles and pastries! Voila!

You can use your character's Quests menu link to choose and view scheduled quests.

There are some tricks and bonuses to questing:

• If your character's Level or Skill level for that quest is far above the quest's level then chances are your character will do the quest noticeably faster than the usual.
• If a quest has a Gold cash reward, then your character may get a bonus for his or her Looting or Shopping skills.   High Charisma is also good for persuading People to give you an extra nice tip for the work.
• High Intelligence increases perception and the rate of learning-- meaning characters with higher than average intelligence tend to get an Experience bonus on the quests they do.
• Some General Skill production quests which make items, such as for Tailoring and Blacksmithing, will require you to pay Gold for materials.   Don't worry, this is always less than the wholesale value of the item created, so even if you have to pay the cash, you'll still get more in the end.

For more information, see the Comprehensive List of Quests.

What good is gold if you can't buy anything useful or snazzy with it? As characters quest and level up, they not only increase their Axe skills and Gold stores, but also their Shopping skill.

You can shop with that your character is at least Reputation Neutral with.   Each Faction sells specialty items related to its particular Skill focus.   For instance the Faction Wealth Extractors Anonymous, focused on Looting, sells items which will help your character's Looting abilities.

Of course shopping is always about discounts! You'll get a higher discount the higher your Reputation is with that Faction.   Shopping skills will also definitely provide you with better bargains, as well as high Charisma.   There is also a small bonus for Looting skill, since those who loot obviously have a good eye for value.

To shop, go to your character's Shop menu link.   A drop-down menu will show all the factions you can shop with.

Remember that faction stores carry only some of the items out there in the world of Wattadefooka. For a complete list of items, see the Comprehensive List of Items.
