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. 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.

but that's not really the point being brought here. you took a char and in a game, played them to their potential. that's just being bored with a char in general with what they can do in any given setting. five years would be more than most of dw plays in any games lately. op is talking about taking a char to any fresh game and them being 'unfun to play' because in their canon, they've 'achieved their goals' and that makes them unplayable. most people here seem to be arguing against that.

like, not trying to offend or anything, but the two scenarios are wildly different. you played one char for five years until it got boring to play them in that setting. you took the same char, reset them, and played them brand new in a different game. you still liked the char and wanted to play them, but in that setting you'd already explored to its potential, that was a nope. op is basically saying any char that's reached their end goal is unappable to them because they wouldn't be fun to play at all, regardless of the setting or how long they were played.

not the same at all, man. and i still disagree with op. if you took a char that had ended their storyline in their canon, you are by virtue of tossing them into a game, writing them a new chapter. that in itself is what makes it fun to play. like, why play any char anywhere, by op's standard. why memes? why games? why play any resolved char?

because it's fun and you can fuck around with them and take them out of their canon norm. that's why.
