Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics.

The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.


Temporary Change: To reduce the strain on Dreamwidth's servers new entries will go up when a post reaches 3,000. Please refrain from spamming so we can stretch these entries for a little longer. We don't need several threads soliciting photo evidence of body parts, and we already know that we only care about yaoi. Failure to comply will only result in deletions and butthurt.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.

Hey! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.

ROAD OF 'TRODE, reserves open!

[trodemods]

Be sure to check out pre-game memes and newspapers on roadoftrode!



The Road of 'Trode
TRODEMODS ◊ ROADOFTRODE ◊ JACK_ME_IN ◊ JACK_ME_OUT
It's cyberspace. An ocean, an infinite encyclopedia, a universe of its own. The Road of 'Trode.

"Open your eyes. Can you hear me? Open your eyes."

Eyelids made grainy and heavy lift slow, dragging over your eyeballs. Your heart is pounding, mouth dry, and you feel hands peeling the electrodes off of your skull. Where are you? A moment ago, you were home. A moment ago you were living a life in a vastly different place. A moment ago none of this was here.

Next to you, a doctor breathes a shaky sigh of relief. "You were flatlined," they tell you. "I didn't know if we could get you back."

And you remember.

You've lived here on the Ark your entire life. A moment ago, you were jacked in. You were in cyberspace. And then -- you weren't. Something hijacked your brain and made you experience an entire life, one that may have eerily echoed yours, but that wasn't yours.

What the hell could have done this to you?

This is the Road of 'Trode.

premise

The Road of 'Trode is a panfandom cyberpunk, magical realism and urban fantasy alternate-universe roleplaying game. In it, your character is part of a culture of millions of people traveling through space in a vast Ark, connected by an incredibly sophisticated cyberspace network.

This game will have adult content, and will not accept applications from players under the age of sixteen. Reserves will open on midnight between Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20.

Applications will open on midnight between Thursday, May 31st and Friday, June 1st.

CHARACTER ADVICE

[rpanonmod]

James Rhodes | MCU

[(Anonymous)]

I'm familiar with the original Iron Man comic series moreso than the Ultimates universe, but I've been told the films and that series mesh slightly better than any of the other comic universes. Would it be worth perusing them for info on Rhodey or should I just fill in major history gaps with the original series? Or something new entirely? General advice is perfect, as well as any pitfalls other Rhodeys have stumbled into.

game suggestions:

[(Anonymous)]

i'm really in no way able to handle games, but by all means, here are some suggestions!!

- a TRIBAL based game where characters wash ashore, gifted from a mysterious water goddess to an island full of perils. major focus on being 'cleansed' through trials (mostly survival-based) as events. characters live in either A: a primitive tribe with huts or B: a slightly modern coastal town ala greece/italy. could possibly have horror elements.

- a DIGITAL based game where players have avatars inside of a PC. the players are entrusted to live in a hyper futuristic city and deal with glitches or anomalies before they infect the system.

- a KINGDOM based game where players are entrusted to populate a dead kingdom after a plague wiped out all non-royal blood in the country. fictional based and slightly slice of life but could have IC political drama.

- a 1920s-1940s american NOIR setting which focuses on crime a fictional metropolis. loosely based off of L.A. noire, but can detour away from any mayfield/holly heights references by being purely urban-crime drama


um as far as themes/inspirations id really suggest?
- battle royale
- deadman wonderland : ESPECIALLY with it being a prison amusement park, holy hell

Harvest Moon/Rune Factory thing...

[(Anonymous)]

Blame the fact I've been playing Tale of Two Towns for ages, but also enjoy Rune Factory. So, shove them together for a chilled out slice-of-life game with farming, monsters and a little bit of an excuse plot. Possibly involving the Harvest Goddess and a dragon.

Jamjar version: Characters end up in the mountains, by the Harvest Goddess' spring. Whichever way the character walks from there, they will end up in one of two towns. Both of these towns appear recently abandoned. To the West is Bluebell, to the East is Konohana - one is better suited to raising the livestock that's currently hanging around there without anyone to care for them, and the other is suited to growing crops. Characters can travel between towns without too much difficulty, so choosing a town is pretty much choosing a "side" to be on for competitions and such.

The characters will be unable to leave for whatever reason (the area is pretty rural anyway, and there's no other towns for miles), and therefore will need to build up their own little self-sufficient community. Grow some turnips, milk some cows, etc.

HOWEVER, along the mountain path there are entrances to various "dungeons." And what's in those dungeons? Monsters. Lots of them. You can fight them, or you can tame them. However, according to the local maps and such, there's no sign of these dungeons having been there before, and each dungeon holds a secret of some description.

Something like that.

I dunno, the vague idea was floating around my mind.

Re: Harvest Moon/Rune Factory thing...

[(Anonymous)]

Ooh, this sounds really cool! There's so much potential for events, too, with the events and holidays and stuff all the games had. I would totally join this.

What kind of system were you thinking for cow milking and turnip growing and caring for it all? What about money?

anyone has anything on hiddenxgrace on plurk? That dune coon is driving me nuts

[(Anonymous)]

she's really weird. i deleted her a long time ago.

[(Anonymous)]

you know what sucks?

when your character has enough chemistry with another for a romance to spark, but because you're a slower tagger than someone else who's char also has chemistry with that other one, that person's character gets the relationship first and yours is left in the dust because the CR's not there yet.

just because you take your time with shit.

sucks.

[(Anonymous)]

I have little sympathy. I've been on the other side where I wanted a relationship to happen but the other person took their sweet ass time to develop anything. Or they were buried by RL stuff.

For me, "Taking your time with shit" = "I'll always be too slow to have any real time CR and drag you down in the game."

He isn't that well known, but I just want some general tips on how to play this lovable guy with the tattered coat? Anyone?

Re: Garry | Ib

[(Anonymous)]

The best I can give you is not to overdo that 'scaredy-cat' aspect that the fandom seems to latch onto in all of their gags. Don't completely disregard it, either, but it really is not as bad as the fandom likes to think it is.

Don't be afraid to build a lot of headcanon. Flesh it out, though, rather than just kind of leave a bunch of vague, unrelated thoughts and ideas and quirks kind of thrown all over the place.

It's so great to see more players coming from this game! Have fun, anon! uvu

Raidou Kuzunoha | Devil Summoner

[(Anonymous)]

Basically, it's my first time considering an SMT protagonist, and considering (usually) they don't have much in the way of personality on account of you making the dialogue choices and such, I'm wondering...how I'd go about app'ing them, basically!

...eh, sorry if this doesn't make sense.

Re: Raidou Kuzunoha | Devil Summoner

[(Anonymous)]

I play Raidou and he can be a toughie! First decide if you're leaning him more towards the Lawful-acts because he's Raidou, or acts because he wants to Chaos, or somewhere in between, gives you a better idea of how he should interact with others, but either way - he's definitely aloof and hard to rile up.
