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.

can someone tell me what this place is like? in terms of speed/events/structure/difficulty getting cr.

i'm shopping around for a game for my hero type character and while the premise really intrigues me i'd like to hear some honest opinions before making a decision.

- speed: backtag friendly, medium to slow, faster during events (sometimes)

- events: once a month, vary in topic from exploration to illness to taking part in a big battle. Plotting posts go up for each. People will tag events because you need wordcounts for them for boons, but sone flakier people might wait until the last minute or drop as soon as they have enough

Structure is more ligvthan network heavy. Currently metaplot heavy but easing back to more sandboxy in ~6 months when this arc ends

Ease of CR varies. Cross court is difficult due to war theme, in court is easier if you don't just wait for people to come to you. Remember people spread out over the map and think about travel times and you should be okay

*more log than network heavy, sorry

thanks very much, anon. one more question, though: with quests, are we actually counting on logging them with the mods or are we meant to just write our own little logs with a self-contained story and post that instead as proof that a character has completed the quest?

tbh, the influence system is the only thing really holding me back. i read the faq and still don't understand it 100%.

second one. browse the quest tag in the logs comm and you'll see how people do them, you can either write a single log that follows everything or you can bring in other characters and play it out

the mods only play in quest threads when it's necessary for metaplot reasons

to clarify on the quests; it depends on the quest. first star ones are 1.5k words and usually self contained (player writes up a log/post that meets the wordcount with no outside assistance). 2 and up usually involve either NPCs or PCs to round out the count, each level up adding 1.5k to the wordcount.
