What is the average length of an in-character action?
A. It varies greatly between role-players and situations. In a simple action where my character is only doing dialogue, or something otherwise simple, I might do a one or two short-paragraph post. If it’s combat or an otherwise complex action, I might do closer to the neighborhood of two, three, or four, or maybe even more moderately sized paragraphs. Or if it’s something that requires a great deal of information (which usually in my case has something to do with setting the scene and explaining major story details), it could be as long as eight paragraphs or more. Of course, not all role-players are this way. Some prefer to keep it short and concise at one or two paragraphs most all of the time, and that’s perfectly okay. As long as there is enough detail to know what’s going on, then it works.
