You sound fat

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.

- Do you have a lot of trouble coming up with ways for your character to productively interact with plot and setting elements? (Not just "was last month's event a dud," but "am I completely at a loss for ways to engage this character in this game other than the kind of generic CR stuff I could do with this character in any game.")

- Do you find it unusually hard for your character to click with other characters you thread with? Game fit is as much or more a factor of available CR as it is a factor of game plot and setting.

- Can you think of other characters that would not have these problems in this game?

If the answer is yes for all three, your character is probably a bad fit. Sometimes the way you play a character just won't click with a game, and there's no shame in dropping them and trying someone else.

+1 really hard on game fit being a factor of available cr. it could be a perfect premise for the character, but if the whole cast list is teenagers it's gonna be real tough to have varied cr if your dude is 37.
