rpanons | Gotta catch 'em all

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.

potential newbie here. i've heard the game mechanics described as "difficult" from random anons in the threads but i'm not quite understanding how, after reading through the game info. what exactly makes it so hard, if anyone wouldn't mind more details?

i don't personally find any of the mechanics difficult. there's just a lot of ooc things to keep up with. you have movements, search requests, location alterations. you have to coordinate more with people than you might in a typical game since everyone is basically scattered on a tabletop environment where you have limited movements. these movements change monthly, and while the network is a great place for spontaneous shenanigans to happen, that doesn't happen so much for logs.

speaking as a player here the people i'm familiar with are always very helpful about explaining things to newbies. if you ever aren't sure about something don't be afraid to ask someone.

I agree that they're not difficult, it just takes some people a bit to get the hang of. I think movements and item claims and things are pretty easy once you actually start doing them, they just might look intimidating at first to some.

i don't find it difficult, but that's because it feels similar to tabletop gaming, and that's the background i'm coming from. people who talk about how complicated the mechanics are probably never took part in a pen and paper game is all.
