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. It doesn't look like DW can handle 5,000 comment entries at the moment so 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.

Some More Heroes

Congratulations~! You have been selected from a very prestigious group of people to participate in the official games of the UAA. You don't remember checking into a motel last night, especially not one this dingy. You have no idea where the envelope with the letter and some cash on the table came from, or who this Sylvia person is. The only thing in the room that isn't standard hotel fare is the box on the desk marked with a large, stenciled number. In that box is your personalized weapon, and it's the only thing you have to protect yourself with in the coming months. Welcome to Santa Destroy. It's a small city and a poor one, but business has been picking up since the last round of ranked matches. In light of this, the UAA is planning a sequel to the bloodshed. However, they need to test the system before they send the limited supply of assassins in their own world into the fray. That's where you come in! You have the honor of been chosen as a test subject. The stenciled number on the package your weapon came in? That's your rank among assassins. Before you? The assassins you must defeat to get home. Behind you? An infinite number of assassins with the exact same goal. Everyone wants to be #1. ☆Premise ☆Rules ☆FAQ ☆Mod Contact ★Reserves★ ★Taken Characters★ ★Application★ ★Hiatus/Drop★ Locations☆ Job Center☆ Rankings☆ NPCs☆

GAME IDEAS

[rpanonmod]

Scavenger world/rebuilding style game?

[(Anonymous)]

Repost from the last thread:

That description is a bit of a misnomer but. I wish there was a game where you could literally start to build the world around you. I kind of want to do it, if I'd have the free time. Waking up in a pod in a post-apocalyptic world, with some strangely addresses supplies needed for a persons survival, and furthering the game would take them trying to work together and cooperate to create a hub of sorts, maybe attracting NPC villagers in the process? And from there, it's steps to build the world while characters side eye each other and all have their own goals.

I guess this is appealing to my own favorite game kink as I love taking concepts given to me and making cool things out of them. What does everyone else think?

PB SUGGESTIONS

[rpanonmod]

[(Anonymous)]

Looking for a PB for a middle-aged female, ideally half Caucasian, half Asian (but fully Asian will do), ideally with short or bobbed hair. Has to be mean-looking.

Since I'm obviously never going to find one, does anyone know someone who will draw lineart/b&w headshots for icons for $10 or less apiece?

cropping icons

[(Anonymous)]

i've been making them for a while, but every time i see the same picture/frame iconed by someone else, i feel like mine is always the inferior one. maybe it's just because i'm hard on myself (my icons always look okay to me before i compare them to others), but...

what makes a good crop, anons?

what effects do you like to use on your icons?

(i use gimp, if that makes any difference; it seems sai/paintshop pro are thep referred programs, but...)

Re: ORIGINAL CHARACTERS

[(Anonymous)]

would people rp with me if i just didnt use any icons

ive been trying to find a solution to my icon quandary for like a year now and to be honest im just about done trying

[(Anonymous)]

Yo. anyone have advice / links for a n00b RPer?

The culture / comms / plurk / acronyms can seem a little daunting, and the drama is prolific and both funny/intimidating, but I still sorta want to try this shit out.

Everyone was new once, right?

Anyway, thoughts? etiquette? sekrit rules?

[(Anonymous)]

1. just be yourself. don't try to conform to the OMDSHDLGJK BABY ;u; I-I'M SO BAD mentality so many rpers have if that's not you. believe it or not there are normal people here, and if you act natural you'll attract them to your friend circle

2. i'd get a plurk but try not to pay too much attention to it, it's sort of hit or miss with its usefulness

3. if you ever get wanked on, don't ever try to defend yourself. try to ask your friends not to whiteknight. that ALWAYS makes it worse

[(Anonymous)]

I kinda want the other half of one of my cross-canon ships to app to my game, but their whole cast dropped recently and I don't think they'd be too interested. Even if a ship didn't happen, I think they'd still make cute friends because I've always had adorable CR with them in memes.

But how do I even ask about this?

[(Anonymous)]

And another question. There's one of those characters (I've threaded with 2 or 3) I haven't seen in a while and I kinda miss her. Would it be weird to PM their LJ and ask if they wanna thread in a meme sometime? If they don't mind using DW

[(Anonymous)]

i think i should kill myself

On the off chance that you aren't trolling, anon: I've been there. Some days I'm still there. I know there's probably very little an anonymous internet stranger can say that will make you feel better, but please try to hold on.

let me just roll around in this fresh new post

MUSEBOX HELP

[(Anonymous)]

I want to set up my own musebox and need advice on how to make it nice looking and organized, as well as links to pretty and clean html for my muse list and the like.

TIA!

Re: MUSEBOX HELP

[(Anonymous)]

I used dreamwidthlayouts for cute layouts and just made a simple list consisting of -games- -characters in said games- -characters not in games-. How people list their characters for a muse list seems to just depend on the player; I've seen anything from icons with cute banners and little titles to just plain username+char name links.

If you want, you could experiment with codes (like ones on dreamcodes) and see which style for a muselist you like. And you can always sticky it to be on the top of the journal.

hi

[(Anonymous)]

good morning!

[(Anonymous)]

I know IC=/=OOC, but when a thread gets awkward between my character and another, it still feels awkward for me to tag it.

Like if your character pisses another off or something, even if it's completely IC on both sides for the thread to go that way.....

AHAH, ah well.

[(Anonymous)]

i get what you mean.

i think ic=/=oc is more for mun relations, though. like, Character A might be mean and horrible to your character, but their mun doesn't have any ill feelings towards you. it's not weird to feel awkward tagging awkward situations though, especially if you don't know the mun.

think of it as the second-hand embarrassment some people get when they watch uncomfortable moments in tv-shows and movies.

[(Anonymous)]

my character is in a relationship that i want to break up, idk how to bring it up without it being awkward

[(Anonymous)]

you mean bringing it up ICly or OOCly?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm curious. My games are getting progressively older because hey, we've all been playing in them a couple years and we were 19-20-21 when we started. Or younger. And now we're all getting towards mid-20s (for the most part) and working, getting out of school, etc.

Point being, are younger RPers still getting into journal-style RP or are we a product of the early and mid-2000s internet?

[(Anonymous)]

I'm 20 now and started rping through GJ/IJ/LJ/DW when I was 16-ish. I do sometimes feel pretty young compared to castmates and the like, but I also see plenty of people who are also in their early 20s.
