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. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
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.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

I finally saw this in theaters, and it was cool except for Adam Driver. Holy shit, he's so ugly?? Kylo Ren isn't even an interesting enough character to make up for that fugface. I can't believe this greasy whiny white boy is so popular. But then again, DWRP, I guess.

And we got confirmation here that she's just angry over not getting tagged by the cock/vag she so desperately craves.

"I will ruin everyone who crosses me!!!!!" lol ok

Anyone else...

Ever gotten to a point that they should probably stop RPing, even in memes, because work is shooting them in the foot so hard they have no time to RP, but still want to? How do you deal with it, if so?

(And yes, I'll probably quit until work stops because it's not fair to others if I am so sporadic.)

tbf the greasy whiny look is probably intentional bc kylo ren is literally the goth tittybaby teen throwing tantrums in space

which is probably exactly why he keeps the mask and voice modulator on for the much-less-weenie vader aesthetic

but fangirls cream for him bc he's a woobie(?) and so, as usual, there's no accounting for fangirl taste

I do love that one. And it can be so true.

My two expect treats when we leave for long periods, and then when we return. And before bed. And when we get up. And....

yeah, i've been there. if i still REALLY want to rp i'll just start up a psl with like one person who will understand that i can only do like 2 tags a week.

Re: ayrt, with apologies

that's true about the schism and i'm still deciding whether to allow player pregnancies. it is divisive, and as much as i love pregnancy and kid plots, it may not make sense to allow people to be raising babies in a game that's already being really hardline about children by not allowing teenagers. i think the prayer thing leaves my options open on whether to allow it and gives a convenient IC reason either way. the appeal of it is that it's practical and i have a basis for how to do it without it being a cliche. maybe once the game has been open for a year, i could ask the playerbase what they prefer.

i definitely have answers to all of those questions. the players will have a lot of chances to affect the setting and what happens next, and NPC involvement will be kept as low as possible, like i said before. an adventure game isn't very fun if it can only go one way, and a journal rp is boring if it's entirely driven by NPCs. i'm just trying not to be too specific about plot details, lest i spoil my own game before it even has a name :)

If you're expecting tabletop-level mod investment from the DWRP format, you're doomed to disappointment.

1) Tabletop, unlike forum/online gaming, happens at specified times for a specified duration. DWRP is 24/7. Trying to keep a GM level of active participation 24/7 instead of for 6 hours once or twice a week is a quick road to burnout.

2) Storylines and hooks are most effective when they're tailored to appeal to individuals. You really can't do that when your player pool gets much bigger than 10 - 15 characters, so gamewide events will inevitably be weak on individually meaningful content or will rely on the players to provide it, as in the "your character dreams of their greatest fear!" type events. You can do a much better event for a small group, which is why splitting characters into small groups for events is such a popular DWRP tactic.

3) We expect mods to have at least one if not more than one PC in their game, and to put a lot of effort into playing NPCs as well-rounded, appealing characters who respond to all their tags; that takes a lot of time all on its own.

4) The idea that players have veto control over what happens to their character is deeply enshrined in DWRP. People expect to always be able to opt out of any potentially negative event, and to have the final say on whether their character lives, dies, or is hurt, and how badly. If you've got a player base that enjoys SOL, no matter what you do with the plot you'll have a heavy SOL component to your game, and trying to force unwilling players into plot participation is deeply unrewarding.

So yeah, basically, forum gaming is always going to be more up to you to make your own fun than tabletop is. On the other hand, that means you have a lot more creative authority over events than you would in a tabletop campaign, which is why I still enjoy both formats.

I am extra baffled by the Kylo/Hux shipping. Two ugly, boring characters fucking just because... why, they're both white guys? It's Pacific Rim all over again with the scientists.
