All the pretty little anons

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'm glad that some players were finally allowed to affect something but October's event feels a bit... bland.

i am sorry you feel that way anon. i'm really excited for the event myself, it's the first genuinely interesting event that i've been into in almost a year

what would improve it for you?

DA but for me a good event gives you a chance to make new CR as well as to build up on the CR your character already has.

This event fails on the first for me because there is no real reason for character A to care about the ghost of character B if they don't already know each other, and most characters are way more likely to confess their regrets to make the ghost go away to somebody who is already a friend rather than to a stranger. The ghosts also don't really do anything but float and stare, which won't impress every character enough to spur them ICly into action either.

It's most likely aimed to be psychological horror which is always a good change from the usual gore, but overall there is very little substance to drag out for an event that is meant to go on for two weeks. It also feels a little too similar to the Glass Witch plot earlier this year for me, but ymmw.

Op here, but yeah, the fact that they explicitly do absolutely nothing that kills it for me.

I've got a character that shrugs and admits its weird but this is just like a Tuesday in Ryslig, why should he care. I'd like it a lot more of the ghosts were actively haunting them.

It is pretty shamelessly cribbed from the Glass Witch plot, yeah. But Ryslig's mods have always had a tendency to recycle plot ideas, since creativity's not their strong point.

At least it's not yet another plot that causes additional physical changes and/or compels us to kill.
