[M] Here's an idea

[rpanonmod]

Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. 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. "People may notice site slowdown/cache error pages. We're working on fixing. You can help: finish posts at 3k comments, not 5k or more." - Dreamwidth@Twitter

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.

Concerns?

Hey! This is the designated catch-all entry. This is not an invitation to spam to your heart's content. The same rules apply.

I like making up characters and writing about them with other people but I've started to hate the formal expectations of most games.

The most fun I have anymore is fucking around on AIM with my buddies and the most detail we go into sometime is "And then so and so would do [x] and then [y] would happen!" and if any of that sounds interesting then we write out actual dialogue.

I also find that we end up doing the same scenes over and over sometimes and we have a million what-if AU's within AU's.

It's fun but I wish I could do it on a bigger scale.

i just miss making up characters with people

everyone i know either makes crappy ocs or is completely in to fandom rp

[(Anonymous)]

my ocs are crappy and i know people don't like playing with crappy ocs

[(Anonymous)]

what kind of ocs do you have?

I miss when I was in smaller chat-based games. You would just post all your chat logs and do the occasional journal post. So much fun.

I miss those days too, anon. RP in general seemed a lot more spontaneous and fun back then.

[(Anonymous)]

You sound almost exactly like me, anon.

I'm starting to realise that I'm probably not cut out for games, as I have the most fun RPing AUs ranging from cracky to deeply disturbing with one or two other people.

What a friend and I have tried in the past is making a community that has a premise like a panfandom game and throwing a bunch of our characters in to have the same sort of effect on a bigger scale. Maybe try that and invite some close friends, to have the game 'experience' withou the expectations?

I think it could work but it's like as soon as you say "musebox" everybody wanders off and it dies almost immediately.
