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.

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.

PAOPU TREE; a Kingdom Hearts dressing room

[heartlessinquisition]

"Somewhere out there, there's this tree with star-shaped fruit."

"...and the fruit represents an unbreakable connection."

paoputree is a new Kingdom Hearts dressing room! Open to Kingdom Hearts characters and related series like Final Fantasy, The World Ends With You, and Disney canons, the game is a set in the worlds of Kingdom Hearts. There's no apps, no AC, and no set genre. Play out any kind of thread you want, toss up memes, or just post looking for more KH characters to play with. If tossing up a post of your own isn't your thing, there is a new open post set in Wonderland all set for shenanigans and getting to know each other.

APP THIS PLZ / ENABLE ME

[rpanonmod]

[falseidentity]

Looking for a game for Venomania and Kachessa Crim, an AU version of Kachess Crim from Evillious Chronicles.

We're not too picky, but we'd like to app them from the same AU to a game where death isn't permanent, and powers aren't too restricted so Venomania could potentially still do his thing. Naturally, he comes with an opt-in permissions post.

We're not looking at Bastion, Animus, Rekindle, My Little Jamjar or Strings--either due to disinterest in the setting or inappropriateness. Not really looking for sex games or AU games, simply games that allow AUs.

CHARACTER ADVICE

garrus vakarian / mass effect

just finished playing all three games with most of the DLCs... any general tips? will probably play him from the end of the third game (destroy because the other options don't exist lalalala)

Luffy, Nami, & Zoro | One Piece

[(Anonymous)]

i didn't want to take up multiple threads, but I'm waffling on who to play right now, so I'd appreciate suggestions for any of the three listed above!!

as far as preferences go I don't like underscores, otherwise, go for it. I've tried every single variation of the word "navigates"/"navigator" that i could think of for nami and it was a no-go. :(

PB SUGGESTIONS

[rpanonmod]

[(Anonymous)]

I want to play the Warden from Dragon Age, but I can't find a PB I'm quite satisfied with, so I'm hoping you could throw me some options.

The character is female, blue eyes, long black hair (if too scarce, I can make due with any length). She's outwardly confident, employs sarcasm to bolster her sense of humor, if she doesn't check herself might come off as a bit of an asshole. Naturally, has her vulnerabilities. If you're her friend, she's solid, more or less. If you're her enemy, expect fire and lightening, but not in an obvious way. She's not going to jump your throat unless you're an immediate danger or just pissed her off really bad. Can be flirty, charming and diplomatic if she wants or needs. Otherwise, how would you expect her to persuade people to throw in their lots with her against Loghain and the Blight?

This is not yet a concrete personality, but the general direction I'm heading toward, to give you a sense of what I'm looking for.

Thank you in advance!

Looking to possibly commission someone for icons for an OC in the near future (no more than 15, probably). Taking paid time as payment is a bonus, but not strictly necessary!

You know what's depressing? Realizing that no matter how hard you try, you will never be as welcome as the last person who played your character...

[(Anonymous)]

not going to name names but in the three years I've been playing at my home game there have been at least four "adoptions" of characters by different players that I've VASTLY preferred over the first!

time and experience lead to better things anon, and being first doesn't necessarily mean better

i wanted to listen to her filibuster what is this rules lawyer shit

[(Anonymous)]

it's men talking over her

[(Anonymous)]

I recently discovered that someone I know (not an RPer) is faking a serious but non-deadly illness to get sympathy online. I know this person IRL, and they're not sick (or at least they're not sick in the way that they're claiming). As far as I know, they're not trying to get money out of people or anything like that - it's purely for the attention. I used to like this person a lot, so I was really shocked to find out that they had this fake double life... I've definitely lost a lot of trust. I don't intend to tell anyone about it, but should I confront them? Or should I just distance myself and let it go because it doesn't seem to be hurting anyone?

How close are you to this person?

Do you play both halves of a pairing you like? Are you much better at one than the other? I rarely even pick up multiple characters from the same canon, but I know others do.

[(Anonymous)]

I play both halves. But my OTP is from an obscure canon and is rare to the point of not existing in dwrp so if ever I find someone playing either half, I'd be happy to pick up the other. I don't really know if I'm better at playing one or the other but I'm more comfortable playing the male half (it's a het ship.)

game directory?

[struckout]

I actually have zero idea if there's any sort of existing directory of games around any more, but I noticed gamedirectory hasn't been updated in a looong time, so...

So, I completely copied that old spreadsheet to track games' movement from LJ to DW and made it into this instead. I think I ditched all of the closed games, and added in hopefully most of the ones that were listed on GD and that I could remember being newish.

Problem is, the document it's copied off of was mostly filled out who knows when, so I know a lot of the data is outdated...

there's a currently in use spreadsheet linked on the resource page

I know this isn't related to RP, but since it's something that's going to affect a lot of lives, I'll plonk this down where people can see it while it's still relevant.

There's a petition on whitehouse.gov to veto the ruling of SB5, with more information about what happened and why this is important in a wider scope than just the issue that was being discussed. If you're in the US, at least give it a look. Basically, fraud was committed while being streamed live to around 150,000 people.

https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/veto-ruling-sb5-texas-immediately-due-illegal-disregard-filibuster/Dzsz2M8k

Also, let's not forget that another bill passed that essentially allowed another avenue of voter discrimination, even though SB5 is creating a larger uproar. I realize that this comment might turn into an explosion of politics, but I still feel it's necessary to tell people that they have an avenue to voice their opinion directly to the government.

[(Anonymous)]

Look, I'm against this bill, too, but you do realize that this was a state law and can only be vetoed by the governor of Texas, right? This petition literally cannot succeed.

how long should I wait to poke someone for a psl tag?

[(Anonymous)]

how long has it been?

if your parents roleplayed...

[(Anonymous)]

what fandom would they be in (play from), or who would they play (if there's a character they obsess about)?

bonus: writing/rping styles you think they'd have (prefers prose, action brackets, uses icons with borders, is a la snob, etc)

my dad would rp from ncis (gibbs, probably) and he'd use action brackets without making them small and he'd have like 3 icons but just default all the time

my mom would rp from friends and be a prose-churning machine

[(Anonymous)]

my mom would probably rp from all her kdramas that she watches religiously. all of her icons&prose would be super utilitarian. the good thing about it would be that she tagged lightning fast and could balance a million threads, all while keeping up on plurk (and getting into a lot of fights because she likes telling people off when they're being rude)

my dad would rp from dudebro shit, like. the only fandom i could think of that he'd like that could even fit in dwrp is warcraft? he'd be a prose guy but with a lot of comedic/goofy elements in his writing-- he'd be great at serious scenes when the time came for it, but most of the plots he'd do would probably be pretty light-hearted and silly

he's also the only one i'd tag. sorry mom, but i just dont think we'd mesh well as rpers :(
