This is a very useful and helpful guide, much needed in the world of role play. It's well thought out and written. If you wanted to flesh out the sections, it might make it more helpful, by expanding on each area. Part of what new roleplayers struggle with the most, is learning how to roleplay without mixing in their own life and personality, and not taking roleplay seriously and to heart. It's easy to "mix" up the two. Keeping role play and real life separate is the most difficult part of hardcore role play, and the largest challenge. Spending more time explaining that, might be a good cause.
