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.

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.

1- Less focus on pretty female NPCs, and an overarching storyline that characters can alter. I played in QoH close to the beginning and I enjoyed it but it kind of just petered off like anons said. From what I remember from my time in there much of the plot was just watching the story between the NPCs as they toyed with the characters. The NPCs were interesting! I liked them! But it didn't give me much to do, and I'm not much of one for named and active NPCs in general in my games anymore. I prefer to develop my story between myself and my fellow characters. Veloxia I looked at and decided nah on because of unstable modship (from my perspective) and literally all I remember about it was some kind of halfassed unstable setting and I THINK some kind of robotic supercomputer with no real personality looking for her creator?

2- I want some kind of interesting story. I want a clear cut in-game reason for the lack of male characters, whatever it is. There's so much interesting potential there that neither game used. (I believe Veloxia's excuse was that the supercomputer would only/could only let a woman program her?)

3- I'm not huge on slice of life so I'd like something for my characters to do. I think that was my main problem with QoH. The characters had everything they really needed to survive and nothing threatening to take that away.

In that same vein, give the game a potential threat. Villains or other problems, apocalyptic, disease, something like that. I'm not saying make it a heavy action game or a horror game (I'd say don't make it a horror game actually) but give a potential threat. Bonus points for the threat NOT being the NPCs that brought the characters wherever.

4- I think QoH and Veloxia both allowed trans characters, but don't even consider not allowing them. That's asking to get wanked to hell and back. You might get wank anyway for allowing (canon) trans characters, but the wank from not allowing them would kill the game and turn away plenty of potential players.

Genderbent AU is an entirely different issue, but I'd say allow it anyway. Poll your potential playerbase before apps open if you want. Not everyone likes AUs, I know, but I personally think the people who like playing AUs outnumber the people who will snub a game just because it allow them. (They can always opt not to play with those specific characters, after all.) Just be a hardass on the AU apps and things should be fine.
