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.

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.

YO DID YOU JUST PITCH THE IDEA OF A DARK CLOUD-INSPIRED GAME

omg and all of the characters would have to work together and rely on everyone's individual strengths and knowledge to both adventure and rebuild the towns so every single character would be important and there could be monsters and a main antagonist and maybe you could even do a thing where characters are stripped of their powers at first and have to work to get them back with help of those around them and and and and

OP fuck everything else and just make this game.

just pointing out that i've gotten in a few discussions over test drives and having it be game-play related, but the problem with that is that unless the character gets in, the existing in-game characters have to retcon anything they played out in those threads, which isn't fair to them.

I agree with what others said on apps and would like to see the following stuff.

Get rid of history, instead just do something where you link to general info on the canon. Mostly this is to know it is a legit canon and a rough idea about the canon if the mods need it.

Personality and abilities definitely should remain. Samples should be changed up to allow options for ways of doing it. Requiring threads in the test drive is one good idea, but honestly may have some issues. I'd rather see something like people can choose to link a thread, do a thread with a mod or current player, or do an IC Q&A like Luceti and some other games have. I love Luceti's Q&As because they are tailored to the character and usually give at least one question that will make the character squirm a bit in answering.

Add in a section for suitability and things you can see your character doing in the game. Most players don't think about what their character will do beyond their intro post, and that's why so many end up dropping within a month or two. Require players to give a few paragraphs on how they think their character will adapt to the setting and what will the player/character do to ensure that the character is active enough to make AC after the first month. Nothing in this will be set in stone since the CR the character gains can be a large factor to determine how well they will adapt, but having an idea of things your character would get involved in and how they'd adapt to the setting not only makes sure that the player thought about more than just apping in to a cast or with their friends, but also that they actually read the info about the setting.

yes omg and now that you say it like this that does actually sound really fun. if op doesn't do this i might.

deets?

well it's not like anyone's forcing them to tag in. in fact, my ideal would be for the post to consist mainly of prospective players rather than ones already in the game, since it would be a mandatory part of the app anyway.

of course, the flaw with that is what if not a lot of people want to commit to apping and therefore don't tag on the post...

sigh idk. it was just an idea. something has to change about apps, though. i just don't know what.

i want to app to a smut game with the hugest loser virgin ever

too socially awkward to participate in any orgies

faps to poorly drawn anime girls and cries over how much he sucks

whenever any girls think he's cute enough to fuck/want to give him a pity fuck, he accidentally tears her favorite skirt while undressing her, knocks her candles over and starts a fire, accidentally leaves a shit stain on her bed from sitting on it and grabs her shirt by accident while he tries to redress and run away in shame because he couldn't get it up after all

all i want to play is virgin manpain

Got taken down. What was it?

if you can't rp without there being a rape plot involved, something is wrong with you.

i wouldn't want to play with you. how embarrassing. how is that fun for the other party?

Yeah, those are the only ones left at the moment. But I know they'd love to have more castmates, if you're interested anon!

i prefer doing this tbh

also bc i worry that if i post no one till tag it and i'll feel bad lol

Vaginas bleeding is a thing that happens to half the population. Get over it.

and again, the problem becomes 'who are the prospective players going to play with'? Each other? And if not all of the players app in, again, that's cr and interactions that might have to be either redone in game or retconned, which again, isn't fair to the players that actually app in.

which is why i stand by my earlier statement of having it be mods/helper mods/volunteers that tag around in the test drive meme and make sure that everyone gets a tag and has a thread to use as a sample that's game specific.

agreed, though. apps as they are aren't cutting it. i've found that a lot of the reason people go way too overboard on apps with personality/history sections is because it's hard to know what the mods want to see. you could write out a succinct and readable app that has all the main points touched on and gives a look into the personality, but you'll get a revision request over not having gone into their childhood enough or their motivations or their fears or their etc, etc. so people just shove stuff in there, even if it seems banal and pointless, because they're less likely to get a revision request stating they missed something if everything and the kitchen sink is in there.

i'd love to play with you but i'm not in a sex game

Canon point undecided as of yet (I'm still going through the manga) but any general advice is appreciated!

Don't worry about spoiling me either. I've heard a lot of what happens past the chapter I'm on, and I'm going through them pretty quick anyhow.

i actually like how rp has become lower as a whole. when you run through plots quickly, you burn up the ideas you do have. parties get bored fast and drop lines regardless.

people assume you have to wrap up a thread in one night or one week and they drop because they want instant gratification.

it seems like players are making something of a comeback? who are you guys enjoying? which characters would you like to see more of?

Sorry this is years old second hand deets, but I believe it consisted of Al from Fullmetal Alchemist making a post to the network about being raped (I don't remember the other character) with absolutely no forewarning to anyone, including their castmates.

well it might work in a game if it's incorporated as an element. for example a jamjar where, during test drives, it's icly explained as the area fluctuating which results in people being temporarily brought in? that way if say, a prospective character and a game character solve something together and the prospective player doesn't end up going through with it there's no need to retcon? but if they do, they can pick up cr with the game character.

excessiveness
artificialness
showgiving
cosmetically
bigbigbig
shrillness
organiser
punctually

can think of more if none of these appeal!

which is essentially a fourth wall event, isn't it?

gosh idk

yewman???

as bows are usually made of yew wood and it could also be a play on yeoman?

So I play Kainé, and don't know anyone who plays her mates on a regular basis. I'd love to find some people to play off of and possibly develop plots with.

I'm good with gen, but as far as shipping goes I prefer bro!Nier. I'm big on development and dynamics though, so that's up for discussion.

Yeah, but I can get a rewarding experience from playing video games without specifically needing to deal with any of the crappy people.
