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.

I play Ben here over at

paradisa.

i wanna be where you are :c

but yay for you c:

thinking of picking her up after a canon review, since she's awesome and i don't really see her around. any tips? especially if she's taken post-case since most of what we see during it is her cold front.

Setting
I wasn't able to say it in the first comment (what a way to find out that DW has a comment character limit...) and had to cut out a lot of stuff, but I had intended for a river from the mountains to feed into a lake the city is at the edge of, and for a river to flow from the lake into the ocean. In the kingdom's past, the capital had actually been on the coast (that was actually one of the other towns I had drafts for), but a devastating naval battle on the coastline had caused them to relocate it. Now, the old capital is actually a center of trade!

I'd intended for the new capital to be where it is because it's more easily defensible (travel upriver would be difficult, and a large naval force wouldn't be able to easily get up there as they'd have to go one at a time since the river wouldn't be wide enough, and ground forces would be more easily spotted) and because the lake is convenient for trade along the river - it allows for enough room for maneuverability once boats/ferries/etc get through the checkpoint where the river and lake connect; there are docks at the city and outgoing ships can loop around the other side of the lake to give incoming ships a chance to get in. That being said, an additional element - there being some sort of historical or religious significance to the site - could definitely have lent weight to it, and I'll think about that while I'm finalizing things!

I do like the idea of the capital and the harbor city competing for dominance! Since I'd intended for the harbor city to be the old capital, maybe descendants of the nobility that used to live there are trying to reclaim their ancestors' glory by making the city prominent again... since there would be a pretty significant amount of history in that town, it could be easy enough to work something in.

Pacing
The more I think about that kind of pacing, the more I like it, to be totally honest. And I would definitely be willing to keep a running timeline of posts to help keep the chronology straight! I hadn't thought about doing that (my idea was to have people tag their posts with which day of the week they're set on, so that people could find them easily that way), but it's a great idea.

AC and Rewards
I think that's a good idea, actually. A handwaved conclusion could definitely earn them points - as long as it's posted in the thread to end it on. My concern here would be that players who do backtag would be unhappy because people are getting the same rewards for less effort; does it sound fair to have handwaved threads earn fewer reward points than fully backtagged threads, but still earn some? Or in the case that one half of a pair wants to backtag and the other is unwilling, the half that was willing to tag to completion earns full points and the one that cooperated to allow for the handwave earns half (or maybe 3/4) points?

As far as finishing a thread in a given month - I definitely didn't mean it to sound that way! The AC requirement would only be comments; completed threads could be submitted for rewards at any point once they're completed, even if it's a different AC period than the one they were started in. Finishing a thread wouldn't have any bearing on whether or not someone passed AC (though a completed thread would probably have the minimum AC requirement as far as tag count goes); they'd just be rewarded in the month that they completed it as a thank-you for doing so.

when she was allowed outside, my cat was too lazy to kill moles before bringing them into the house

she also just ignores toys unless they're covered in catnip

I hadn't considered it being a protectorate of a larger empire, but I do like that idea - a lot, really! It does open up a lot more opportunities for a wider variety of character types. Thank you so much for the suggestion. :)

I'm starting to envision it as sort of like the relationship the Roman Empire had with its client-kingdoms back in the day. Ooh, and further on in the game, we could open it up to travel to other client-kingdoms on the request of the larger empire they're a protectorate of...

~~Or if characters wanted to stage an uprising for independence that could totally be a thing they do too...~~

There are a ton of really interesting possibilities that this presents!

No problem! :)

It's slated for this month, unless the PCs interfere.

Thoughts?

Everything the anon above said, but don't ever feel the need to specifically omit the fact Orihime is in love with Ichigo from her inner monologue. She's a great standalone character, yes, but a lot of her motivations for this or that, whether silly or serious, stem from her crush to spend time with him or fight by his side. She actively admires Rukia for being able to do that.

If you're taking her from her older years, especially after the Fullbringer arc, remember that she's a lot more comfortable in Ichigo's presence. She doesn't freak out anymore when invited into his bedroom and actually sits there quite happily snarking right back at him when he bitches about the bread she brings home from work being off. She actively thinks ahead for Yuzu and Karin, it's not just Ichigo blinding her vision these days; she's grown in a confident young woman who is still in love with him but she also knows her entire happiness doesn't hinge on whether he fancies her right back. In one of the latest movies (if you include them in your characterization) she steps up behind him to give the guy a hug, just to support him. Nothing OMG!!! about it, it's a cute, demure moment.

Back when she was fifteen the playing ground wasn't really even. Now that it is, you can really have some fun with her. Good luck!

Having modded on forums definitely helps, I think! It's mostly a matter of figuring out how to make it work in a different format. The core of it remains the same.

I'm thinking I will definitely be using the flexible time system you described. Once I start getting the comms and mod account set up, I'd be glad to credit you/the game you played in for the idea if you don't want to de-anon here!

Honestly, while there will be an overarching plot, I'm not sure I want it to be heavy on it. From what I've seen by lurking around here, games that are described as plot-heavy also tend to have limitations on player action, and I want it to be open to as much player action as possible. That being said I also want people to have the chance to just relax and play rather than worrying about always running their own plots too... I'm sure there's a balance somewhere! I'll just have to find it.

This is probably a silly question, but how would one go about looking for comods? So far I've been doing this myself and have been bouncing ideas around in anoncomms, but I don't really have anyone in mind for a comod. Or since it's likely to start out slow, would it be better to mod alone at the start and then take mod applications after a few months into the game?

shit, yeah, i did
thanks anon

Sorry, I totally thought I'd responded to the last bit as well but I guess I hadn't! I think discussion on this happened a little bit in the last post. I would almost prefer to run it as an OC game, but since most people in DWRP are here for fandom RP, I'm allowing canon AUs. OCs are definitely going to be accepted!

In a question or plotting post with comment screening, is it bad form/breaking privacy to unscreen anonymous comments, or is it expected since it's the only way to give a direct reply?

yeah, if I have a roly poly cat that's still physically active, running around, climbing on stuff, etc., I'd want to keep an eye out to make sure it didn't get too much fatter, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make sure it loses weight – that just seems like it'd be a pain in the ass for both me and the cat. If it's fat but still active then I don't think there's anything to worry about, unless it was the result of a sudden change in weight.

You're cute and have left me feeling good about apping! Thanks!

Someday with Ben here, maybe!

Although debating on whether I'd go for him or Clementine (

staylucky). Time will tell.

go into the shop and try things on

it's the only way to be sure they'll fit

Any specific areas? I played her for several years so I could give you novels about her.

because humans don't point out overweight in other humans for health reasons. that's a lie, they're only commenting on your looks. if it was about health, they would comment on other things like drinking or sleeping habits, but saying you've been up partying and drinking the whole week only gets you a "cool!!!!"

why do people like this exist

wgar

You can unanon here and invite interested people to PM you now, or wait until you have a comm partially set up. It looks like there might be decent interest! Modding alone can be a challenge, but it's doable.

the only active dressing rooms we have are

sixwordstories and

wayswithwords there was the salad one but it flopped. :| and there is also the love hotel.

No hard feelings.

idk about anyone else but menstruation talk triggers my dysphoria

i wish more people would mark it tbh
