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.

Super Robot Wars Unification

[srwu_mods]

Super Robot Wars Unification

SRWU is a multi-fandom crossover DWRP inspired by Super Robot Wars, a popular franchise of turn based strategy games based around giant robot combat. In our game, player characters become members or close allies of the Unity Group, an organization dedicated to battling many threats that endanger the Earth Sphere, both internal and external - alien invaders, rampaging monsters, hostile human groups and many more.

In SRWU, events play out not only as DW posts, but also during AIM-run missions - combat operations during which player characters engage enemy forces in battle. Such missions are always scheduled in advance (from a RL perspective, not necessarily an IC one) and usually last 3 hours each, with an average of 2 missions being run per week, 6 to 9 player character combatants present in each mission.

Unlike crossover games that whisk characters away from their canons and place them in a completely new setting, SRWU integrates the characters' canons together - their events play out during the course of the game. However if one so decides, there is an option to app a character without any corresponding canon events.

Although SRWU is a mecha game, non-giant robot canons are accepted if they fit thematically. OCs are also accepted.

GAME IDEAS

[rpanonmod]

Re: GAME IDEAS

[(Anonymous)]

A variation on memory loss – they remember their homeworld but the memories they have are ALTERED

Basically they remember an au version of themselves – their mother DIDN’T get murdered, or they took the less beaten path, or they were sent on a mission with character A instead of character B

How different their histories are is up to the mun, whether or not they want to make the change big and heavily impacting or more recent and just before canon point: the only common thread is that the divergence is something that could have happened in canon but didn’t, alternate history not alternate everything

As in, “bruce wayne’s parents didn’t die”, not “bruce wayne was a vampire all along”

Another option is that the divergence is a choice the character made, so not “bruce wayne’s parents didn’t die” which is outside his control but instead “bruce didn’t decide to avenge them”

Either way, as the game continues, the characters think they’re in a regular jamjar but there’s something nagging at the back of their minds, something doesn’t feel right

And then they start remembering their “true” past, and finding out who altered their memories – and why

APP THIS PLZ / ENABLE ME

copied over from ATP to see what else is out there, too UuU

[character offered]: Erin
[fandom]: Thief
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: Comm based, DW only
[preferences]: Request no memloss or power loss. Log heavy is ok, commentspam style preferred if only because it's faster for me to write and I do a lot of tagging at work, so how fast I can write a tag is a thing. Prose isn't an auto-no, though, just expect me to be a lot slower with it. Medium AC (20~30 comments), medium-to-large game preferred. (That said, feel free to ping me with smaller/newer games, if the premise of something is really cool, I'll jump on it.)

Whatever the game, it'll need to accept multiple sources for history/setting, since very little of Erin's backstory is in the game itself, but in various supplementals instead.

Ideally, I'd like a game for her that gives ample opportunity for her to get up to shenanigans, since Erin is a thief and will take anything shiny that isn't tied down (and even some stuff that is tied down). Games that give her opportunity to use her accidental god-like powers on occasion (pretty rarely, since they're potentially world breaking, I know) would be a huge bonus.

midousuji | yowamushi pedal

[discarding]

hello! i made this account very recently and i would really like to test drive midousuji against anyone who can stand him. cast mates somewhat preferred, but not definitely not necessary by any means!

for the record, i've read up until vol.20 of the manga, so i know all of midou's spoilers, but unless they're explicitly relevant to the thread (which i don't think they will be, since midousuji's a pretty private person), you won't hear a thing about them. i can match his timeline to castmates.

thank you!

CHARACTER ADVICE

[rpanonmod]

Genuinely Nice Characters

[(Anonymous)]

Any tips on how write them without making them boring?

They can be genuinely nice, or play up being nice to hide some hidden depths or traumas or serious flaws or even secretly be villains – the main point is that they’re characters who will generally do their best to be just generally nice and pleasant to interact with during most situations and that they’ll do their damnest to show that they’re nothing but nice (and by extension more or less harmless, shenanigans aside) for whatever reasons.

I know that you can try to work with whatever quirks they have, or lampshade them having something else going on beneath the surface to make threading with them interesting, but what if they’re not the type to let something like that through right away? Or alternately, what they’re hiding beneath the Mr./Mrs. Nice guy attitude is some serious spoilers or trigger-warning worthy material that you’d rather not just spring onto people regularly without warning? (Let’s say, a rape backstory that resulted in some serious psychological trauma that the character’s still struggling with behind the nice façade for example.)

How can I make threads with such characters engaging without making them sounding boards for the characters they interact with or shove their unique quirks/backstory/drama into the other player’s face until they’re ICly ready to reveal that they’re not just ‘nice’?

PB SUGGESTIONS

[rpanonmod]

Re: PB SUGGESTIONS

[(Anonymous)]

I know there's a lot out there, but I have just no idea where to start. Any help's appreciated!

White male, mid-thirties. Ideally brunette, gruff, average-looking/not movie-star attractive. Stubble or scruff is a plus.

The character's a gruff private detective type, and is supposed to be somewhat physically intimidating, but not built like a refrigerator.

Thank you! There's just no good fanart for this series.

are there any good pop musicians that actually write their own music?

not 100% but i'm sick of really liking an album and looking it up to see "oh, these songs were written by 3-6 strangers and the artist was involved in writing 1-3 of the 10-15 songs"

[(Anonymous)]

anon, I hate to break it to you, but this is by and large how the music industry works and has worked for a long time. Moreover, it's pretty insulting for you to suddenly dislike an album just because its creation was a collaborative process and not the work of a sole artist. Especially when one of the only surefire way to not be a starving artist these days is to write songs for other people so you can sign a better publishing deal.
