And most of those control issues come from being obsessed with winning.

I understand wanting to be in the loop OOCly on plots where the end goal is something that might be seriously uncomfortable or leave a character unplayable, but DWRPers pitch massive fits over something as simple as not being explicitly told that another character is lying.

Last I checked, The Vanishing of Ethan Carter was getting praise as being what Soul Suspect tried to be, though I haven't played it myself.

I think a long-term con that seriously fucks with a character's head and leaves them "backed into a corner" (OP's words) is going to be something that's uncomfortable for a lot of people, though, and it definitely has the potential to render certain characters unplayable. It's not really the same thing as a one-off lie that doesn't actually affect the character beyond making them briefly look silly.

Yeah! I'd be interested in running a streamlined/non-stat version of the game on DW. I might consolidate everything a bit to allow some of the other villains to be played. Stuff like maybe having Maleficent takeing over Grimhilde's lands, or having organizations like the Elite Global Huntsmen's Club would totally exist, but the only guy I'd religiously mod-NPC/enforce as a part of it would be Muntz.

The only major change I was thinking was having DOOMTown/DOOMRoads become a thing again, after they were cut so early on. I think the DOOMRoads themselves could work well as a transportation thing, with it just not having stops in the more dangerous areas, Horned King and Elsa blatantly don't want Doom trying to make a tourist industry out of their places). Kinda solves the whole issue of getting from place to place in such a huge world, without having to force them into Atlantis the whole time. Plus, he could do the comms too. DOOMPhones!

Also, yes, panfandoms would be Disney AU'd if they got included. I sort of like the idea of trying to keep canons limited to strictly Disneys, but it'd be hard to draw up as much interest. So panfandoms would have to be kept to Disney rules, I think.

not to mention the potential for the plot to go awry if the manipulate character tries to manipulate someone and it doesn't work, when the mun would have gone along with it and helped them figure out something that might work if they'd only let the other player in on what they were trying to do.

like other people have been saying, not to be mean but i don't honestly know anyone in rp who is smarter enough to successfully predict what would be needed to manipulate a character they're canonblind to if they don't know the mun. i feel like to be successful, you'd have either be very familiar with the canon and be playing with a good version of the character who you could count on to be at least reasonably IC and not go off the rails and be good at interpreting the canon yourself so your predictions for the character's behavior weren't totally off-base... or you'd have to be playing with a player you knew really well and basing your manipulations more off of the player's weak points, habits, etc., than the character's.

the first thing is okay but unlikely to happen in dwrp, where most people bend characterization to do what they want. the second one is honestly a little bit creepy.

I've done the second (sort of) before in psls with consent. Before I start seriously running a story with someone I ask if they like surprises and what their triggers/things they aren't okay with are.

Once all that is established I go to town chessmastering their character into doing shit. I usually play a whole world's worth of characters, so they have no idea where the bad guy is.

     a pirate themed roleplay adventure

SET YOUR COURSE

Behold this ruby,
Centuries old.

Its power is great,
True depths untold.

What once was whole,
Now in parts 'tis shattered.

Having it all,
Aye, that's what matters.

Rebuild the gem
And whatever ye wish will be.

Whether wealth, good fortune,
Mayhap the chance to flee.

Strangers listen:
Take heed, take care.

Or be lost forever
To Davy Jones' lair.


These are the words whispered in your head as you wake up to unfamiliar surroundings. If they don't stick, never fear — they're also inscribed on a stone at the base of the crumbling fountain in the town square. What town square, you ask? Well, perhaps you haven't fully noticed yet. Take a look around.

This isn't your home.

Welcome to Isla Empieza, a port town in this pirate inhabited world you're going to be living in for awhile. It probably doesn't look like much, with its old cobblestone roads and weather-beaten buildings, but it does have a harbor with plenty of ships. The locals here will set you up with one, or at least help you get a room at the inn, but beyond that you'll find they keep to themselves. That should suit you fine, because you probably won't be staying in this town for too long.

You haven't forgotten the poem, right?

Read it again. Think it over.

The famed gem in question was once called the Piedra Roja, and having it in your possession is the only way you're going to be able to get back home.

So get a ship, find a crew, and take to the seas. There is endless ocean to sail, countless islands to explore, and a myriad of adventures to be had. The shards of the Piedra Roja could be anywhere, after all. Finding them won't be so easy. And remember...

You aren't the only one looking for them.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


High Seas is a panfandom RPG that is a one part mod-controlled events (treasure hunts! sea beast attacks! a ticked off Naval force!), a couple parts slice of life (on a ship!), and many, many parts create your own adventure! In this mythical pirate world, the only preexisting city is Isla Empieza. Once you set sail from the island it's located on, the world is your oyster! Where your ship goes, the islands it discovers, all of this is up to you. You have total control over the types of places you want your character to visit.

As for why you're here, well, it seems Davy Jones is up to his old tricks. He's always looking for more unsuspecting sailors to drag down to his locker. You can blame him for pulling you into his chaotic world, and whatever curses befall this place? Those are also his fault.

So off you go! Happy Sailing!

(Oh, and watch out for the other pirates.)
