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?

I've had this idea running around in my head for a while now. The basic premise is pretty boring and cliched : a horror jamjar set in an abandoned boarding school on an equally deserted island (I'm thinking somewhere like the Hebrides, cold and clammy and very very spooky.)

The game would be mostly player-directed, I think. There'd be events every couple of weeks, to keep things lively, but there'd be plenty of opportunity for player plots as well - in fact, they'd be actively encouraged.

So, is anyone interested in this kind of game? And if they are, what could we do to make it less typically jamjar-y?

That actually sounds pretty interesting. There are things that kids are afraid of that adults aren't: monsters, urban legends, losing their best friends, being out on their own without their parents. And they have different sets of strengths and frailties.

I'd be interested in seeing a game that incorporated spooky things that are scarier when inflicted on schoolkids: urban legends, rumors, internet shenanigans, disappearances, a fleet of uncaring adults who won't listen to their concerns no matter what happens (and how are you going to get off the island without the help of any adults?)

And on that note, it'd be interesting to play an extremely ambivalent teacher or authority figure.

I'm seeing one major problem with this already. Are you planning to have all the characters aged down to highschool level? Or are you thinking of only allowing younger characters to app?

I don't know, there should be a way for older characters to take part as well. Maybe as 'teachers'?
