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.

As other anons pointed out, Mangagamer just announced some new stuff at their panel earlier. The new titles are, including the ones already mentioned in this thread:

* Supipara Ch. 1 (Minori): https://vndb.org/v6700 // http://mangagamer.com/supipara/
* Kindred Spirits on the Roof/Okujou no Yurirei-san (Liar-soft): https://vndb.org/v8508 // http://mangagamer.com/kindredspirits/
* Tokyo Babel (Propeller): https://vndb.org/v9205 // http://mangagamer.com/tokyobabel/
* The Shadows of Pygmalion/Negai no Kakera to Hakugin no Agreement (Propeller): https://vndb.org/v12072 // http://mangagamer.org/pygmalion/
* Princess Evangile W Happiness (Moonstone): https://vndb.org/v8900 // http://mangagamer.org/whappiness/

Some other points of interest in the panel:

* Gahkthun of the Golden Lightning is now slated for Winter 2015 release.
* Ozmafia did get a mention at the panel though no specific release date yet.

For those wondering, Kindred Spirits on the Roof and The Shadows of Pygmalion are yuri titles. Not familiar with Shadows of Pygmalion so can't comment on that one, but I heard good things about Kindred Spirits.

No new BL or Otome game announcements not that I was expecting them to for Otakon tbh. There's a good chance MG might announce another BL game next year, so there's still hope. Same thing might happen for Otome games once they get Ozmafia out.

Next up is Sekai Project's panel which they will be holding today at 3:15 PM to 4:15 PM EST!

Sekai Project just had their panel and made some new announcements!

> witch boy magical piece
> premise is basically guys magically getting a sex change in order to become magical girls (technically they're magical boys since they still identify as guys despite the magical sex change)

did sekai project forget that most of the bl fandom is on tumblr nowadays

this isn't going to end well, is it

http://brokenforum.com/index.php?threads/taisho-bl-gender-bender-lets-play-魔女っ子少年マジカルピース-witch-boy-magical-piece.8808/

Someone did a translated LP of the game beforehand if anyone wants to get a taste of the game before buying.

TBH, not super excited about this game. Not because of the magical gender bender guys premise, but mainly because the game's writing is more or less standard, cliche BL stuff with some magical boy battles thrown in between. In other words, expect near tentacle rape, lots of dialogue devoted to "WHY IS MY CHEST FEELING FUNNY WHEN I'M WITH HIM", and all that fun stuff instead of an actual plot. Which makes sense considering that smartphone original VNs don't tend to be known for their stellar writing.

Also gotta agree this game is a not a great choice to test the BL game waters with. Sekai is probably trying to bank off the Boueibu (that magical boy anime) and "Oh, Japan, how wacky you are!" crowds, but then forgot anything to do with gender and magic sex changes is an easy way to get Tumblr to scream transphobia.
