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.

ILLYRIA

[statusreport]

Premise	Rules	FAQ	The Ship	Glossary

Maybe you were already sleeping, maybe you were in the middle of combat, maybe you were simply drinking away your sorrows, but one way or another, you found yourself unconscious. Upon waking, though, you'll find you're not at all where you last recall being. The room is pristine, all clean lines and smooth edges, white walls and strange looking panels with lit-up displays. As you come to, your head aching and your limbs tingling, you're approached by a young woman.. "Welcome to Illyria," she says with a smile. "Don't be alarmed--you're in Sick Bay. You were found in one of the cargo bays, unconscious, with a few other individuals." You will be informed that you are onboard a starship: The Federation Starship Illyria, which is on a survey mission in the Persephone system. Or, well... it was. The Illyria encountered a strange spacial anomaly that severely damaged their systems, and the ship was pulled into a gravitational eddy. 27 hours later, 2/3 of the crew was dead, and the ship was in an entirely uncharted area of space. The transporters are malfunctioning: groups of unknown people are beamed into the cargo bays, unharmed but unconscious. That's how you got here. Welcome to the Starship Illyria. Your mission: to integrate yourself into the remaining crew on board, join missions to explore strange new worlds, and to boldly go where no one from your canon has gone before. ★ Illyria is a mission-based pan-fandom roleplaying game, open to players sixteen and older, and characters of all ages, set in the Star Trek universe. Characters will be absorbed into the crew of a Starfleet vessel lost somewhere outside our galaxy. The game will focus largely on exploring new planets and encountering the races who live there; secondary themes will include survival, as the ship may have to go long stretches without places to resupply, and creating lasting, meaningful CR with your crewmates will be greatly encouraged. There will be action-based missions available every other month for those characters who are inclined to seek out excitement, and characters will be allowed to roam about the Illyria freely and conduct their own personal affairs as they see fit. This game can be as intense or slice of life as you want it to be for you, and there should be a little something for everyone! Explore planets, replicate fancy food, learn Klingon, or have an illicit affair with your subordinate officers, the stars are the limit!

Dying to flesh out some Shiro/Keith backstory, eventually leading to them getting together. I play Shiro, but I can try Keith as well. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.

GAME IDEAS

[rpanonmod]

AU Game Idea

[(Anonymous)]

An AU game set in a school setting (but that is not ran as a "school game" if that makes sense) where characters play potential Chosen Ones gathered to be educated and prepared with the end goal of having their memories replaced (though they aren't aware of that part) and sending them out into the world to fulfill various prophecies in the surrounding lands.

The direction of the plot and even the nature of the game would be largely determined by the actions of the players and characters. If people were very into the school and the status quo events would be assignments or missions by the teachers, or they could go against the status quo and learn about the nature of the school and its purpose. And of course, various shades of grey in between.

Because the school is trying fulfill ALL kinds of prophecy, there will be students being prepared for villain roles and supporting roles as well as heroic ones.

PB SUGGESTIONS

Re: PB SUGGESTIONS

[(Anonymous)]

I'm looking for manga characters with long, uninked or screentoned hair. Basically I need to be able to color it myself. As far as range goes I want someone with an even variety of cheerful and deadpan expressions, if that makes sense?

Sex isn't important, but ideally they should be a on the androgynous side; either a pretty boy or a handsome girl. I can budge on this part if they meet the above requirements, though!

KINKS YOU WANT TO PLAY

[(Anonymous)]

Re: KINKS YOU WANT TO PLAY

[(Anonymous)]

Brother/sister incest. An older brother lusts after his younger sister. She likes the attention, so toys with him and strings him along until it goes too far. I'd like to play the sister, but I don't have any medium or canon preferences.

[(Anonymous)]

why is it so hard to find people who are reliable to play out these ideas with???

i just want to write goddamn it, if thats not gonna then say so instead of constantly getting my hopes up just to give me radio silence for WEEKS

i know, flakes in dwrp isn't anything new, but god damn is it chafing my ass lately

[(Anonymous)]

it can be a struggle to find someone whos into the same idea as you at the same time with the same intensity

a lot of things sound good and fun for me to write but the inspiration for them is very fleeting, unfortunately

[(Anonymous)]

PSA to anons who are not pizza snobs: Dominos has a 50% off sale going on all items if you order online, until the 17th! I think it's at least USA-wide (judging from the fact that they're advertising on instagram) but maybe elsewhere too.

[(Anonymous)]

Can confirm this is on in Canada as well. Thanks anon!

Classic Bakerstreet memes

[(Anonymous)]

I don't have the codes for them, but could someone put up some of the classic gen memes? Like Body Horror, Pokémon AU, or Denny's memes?

We have so many bland shipping memes now, and no one ever reposts the old ones that were always hits way back when.

[(Anonymous)]

I feel like the Denny's one went up recently (I like it too).

Unfortunately, every time I see an old favorite meme posted for old times sake it gets greatly diminishing returns. I think we're doomed.

[(Anonymous)]

Man, I keep coming here, reading through the shit posts, getting cynical, and then getting sucked back in again, to the point that I feel like everyone in this hobby is a bored troll or a psycho who could go off at any second or both. This place is the Fox News of DWRP.

[(Anonymous)]

> I feel like everyone in this hobby is a bored troll or a psycho who could go off at any second or both

this is a pretty good description of us. except i suspect the "bored troll" ratio is much higher than the amount of legit psychos.

WHAT SUMMER 2016 ANIME ARE YOU WATCHING?

let's weeb it up in this thread.

Flying Witch

[(Anonymous)]

Just finished this one and it was the comfiest and most wholesome anime I've seen in a very long time. Episode 11 in particular was Miyazaki as fuck.

[(Anonymous)]

all the rooms in the house are perfectly quiet tonight - except for my bedroom. my window has become the new headquarters for one, one little fucking cricket who somehow manages to make the most loud, irritating noise this side of a monster truck rally.

every. single. year. this happens. why do these abortions of nature like this side of my house so much? why do these little fuckers have me relocating all around the place like they're my landlords?

crickets deserve death and i have a lot of feelings about that.

[(Anonymous)]

Invest in earplugs.

[(Anonymous)]

After hearing the quotes from The Lost Vikings in Heroes of the Storm, I'm actually tempted to try playing them here.

Would this be a good or bad idea, and overall how does DWRP perceive multi-character accounts?

[(Anonymous)]

OH MY GOD THE NOSTALGIA IS OVERWHELMING

ahem

As far as I can tell, dwrp is mostly accepting of mutli character accounts. Like with all things, some no fun allowed robots have an aneurysm about it but in general you won't have much trouble.

Tbh I'm kind of disappointed now

[(Anonymous)]

Sooo I remember people adding modding dw games to their CVs after turning it over with formal words. Anyone remember some of those official-like descriptions?

Alternatively, suppose it'd be possible to similarly pretty-up a "I was a guild officer in a mmorpg"?

Don't prettify it too hard, because otherwise you're going to be asked about details on these projects you've allegedly coordinated.

The best way I can think of is to describe it as being in charge of a club, which required you to organize and mediate disputes between members.

do any of you guys use biore products? i have really sensitive skin and i'm looking at the deep cleansing pore strips and some of their masks/wipes. would any of you guys recommend them?

or what kind of pore/face cleansers would you recommend anyway?

[(Anonymous)]

wish i knew. my pores are huge and nothing i've tried works to keep them clear and make them smaller so i've just accepted it. THAT SAID i have used biore strips! but they didn't do much they were mostly just fun to use

others might have faired better. good luck, anon!
