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.

Looking for an RP that isn't too fast that would be a good choice for an Action Survivor/Horror Survivor extraordinaire. A place with the kind of setting that would let them really shine, considering how resourceful they are in the source material.

If the RP would also enable the person to get a "good end" as it were, so much the better, considering how the original video game ended.

What's wrong with the Deadpool? I haven't read all of the comics but from what I have he seems pretty good?

aah hello *u* yes more people should play from k aaahh ;;

i will latch myself onto you as well, i hope you do not mind :3c

I wonder how many of us were thinking it ~~I was planning Chiaki~~

i can't volunteer right now but just popping in to say i would join this game in a heartbeat. it sounds awesome.

B please!

seriously! I'm pimping the canon to hell and back among my friends hahaha

and oh god no, don't mind at all! my arms are wide open ♥! B>

da here- was the game previously not "fast"? because i'm wondering if your description of it as fast is just because of the current explosion, which seems like it might die down after the excitement wears off. exsil seems like a "fad game" at the moment, almost.

Snow day actually sounds perfect!

Wonderful! Do you want to post to it and have me set a scene or do it the other way around? |D I'm at work right now so it will be a bit before I can get to it, but oh believe me I will. ♥

idfk who lock even is (aside from, obviously, the mun?)

not sayng they're the most ic roxy here, because even i can tell they aren't, but i enjoy reading them in non-text threads (hence my mentioning memes specifically) more than the neverending shithole that is almost every other roxy rper here

sans

tipsygnostalgia, now that i think about it

ones that are actually funny thank you pls

aw, thanks anon! I'm still trying to get settled/to grips with playing him, so I'm really, really glad you've enjoyed him so far.

short or one-word preferred!

You're quite welcome!

no prob.

what you said about "a game about exploration teams without any explorations" is a pretty valid concern: in the absence of stimuli, action does tend to fade out of games. the important thing to remember when trying to solve that problem is that DWRP is about the journey, not the destination, so any incentives provided should be material that makes action fun and interesting to play out, rather than IC rewards for doing the action. one gets you people threading things; the other gets you people agreeing that their characters did something and handwaving it.

the best way to encourage players to act in a certain direction - whether that's explorations or whatever else the focus of the month is in this environment - is to provide new and interesting components of the setting. sometimes that means additions, but it'll usually mean events. strange weather. dungeons with peculiar effects, traps, or obstacles. a sudden demand on the market for chestnuts. the great annual wurmple woods race. people play when they see a possibility in the setting, go "hey that looks fun", and tag in with their character's response to it.

tl;dr it's the journey, not the destination, so make the journey eventful enough to tell a story about.

also, having a setting-and-narrative-based approach over a numbers-based approach will encourage alternative characters. the great draw of dwrp is that characters can choose to interact with a setting however they like, instead of being locked into a "start here go there" narrative. you might get characters who can't be arsed to work with others and go around stealing crap off of exploration teams. you might get more civilian-type characters who run shops and require escorts from exploration teams. i tend to play characters like that, so i'm a little biased, but allowing people to take a third option - which number systems that reward only the OOC-"right way" don't - adds to the variety in the setting and helps the other characters shine.

Thanks anon! RP day made :D

my favorite john was always

zoosmell who played briefly at

ataraxion and

soul_campaign

next is

riseup currently at

thoughtformed

also

prankmaster who used to play at

sirenspull

honorable mentions (those i have read way less of) are active,

ectobiological and

zuulsmellpooplord

sometimes johns can get really bland so that's all i can think of.

Digging through a slew of games when I don't really get a real feel for them just from their profiles is kind of hard for me. I prefer trying to get an idea from players and/or former players at how a game is on the inside.

Thank you for the suggestion, but it's just not what I'm looking for. I don't want an OC only game (especially not on LJ). I like panfandom games and want to play an OC in one.

That being said, they don't connect. With the exception of the Craig run, you can view each individual Bond movie as its own movie. But I agree with anon: Connery sets the bar. Even his really mediocre movies are awesome (aka You Only Live Twice).

Also, don't overlook Dalton-Bond. I find that he's got a lot of traits of current Craig-Bond, but he's kind of the black sheep of the franchise.

Literate rps = gobs of purple prose

yeah I know. I don't want him to be a giant woobie or anything. In fact, I'm dreaming pipe dreams of big large villain plots. But I still would like some help.
