[D] Free space

Rundown: [community profile] 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! Do not post anything outside of these threads. It will be deleted.
Go be cute and fun and fun and funny over here.

I just don't think the Holy Grail War works as an RP premise. I give this game two months before it either folds or goes the way of TVK.

I think it can as a short-run private game.

I 100% don't think it can work as an open, public, never ending jamjar.

ayrt

I've seen two attempts at short-run private games. Neither lasted more than a month. Maybe if you had half a dozen players really devoted to it...

I'd totally be up for that shit, just saying.

I think it's how you work with it? A PSL-like thing among friends? Fine. A small, cyclic game with character caps? Fine. A Fate/AU sort of thing? Fine.

This just looks like it'll crash and burn or just turn into something that's barely Fate by the end.

There was a Grail War-based game back on LJ and it died in about two months, so yeah.

Imperial Saga (AU game, now defunct, mods were flakes) had a surprisingly decent Grail War subplot while it lasted. But I don't think it's something that can run as a traditional DW jamjar without completely neutering the basic premise. There seems to be a lot of interest, though.

decent Grail War subplot?

everyone flaked out on it until most had dropped because people wanted to play out slice of life bullshit with slumber parties. were you even there for that??

(Anonymous) 2013-01-06 06:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I was one of the people bitching about loli slumber parties and the general loss of focus in the game. And god there were some fucking obnoxious players involved. But at least it was interesting in the sense that characters had an actual investment in the world and in the outcome of the Grail War, instead of just having endless rounds of magical tournaments like this new game seems to promote.
