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.

it started out with light science/doctor kink and the stockholmed half basically being stuck in a research facility as a subject. the one they fell for was the "least bad" of the researchers and eventually got them out but tbh there's never going to be a properly healthy dynamic between them.

imagine that you have a friend who lives in paris. no, not paris, france, i mean one of the very many parises in the usa. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris_(disambiguation) or we could use another example like columbus https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbus but we're not talking about the one in ohio, the most well known one.

every time "paris" comes up in the news, they throw a fit because "ugh, it's always those fucking french people, why doesn't the news ever talk about MY paris???" even if their "paris" is a tiny-ass town that has nothing of interest.

in your opinion, how annoying is this?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-11 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Moderately. Not something I'd pick a fight over or anything but I'd eventually start seething every time it happened.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-11 04:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Very annoying and usually far from the only time they make things be about them. I also admit, I don't get why anyone would want their town to be in the news because that's usually not a good thing.

tbh im more confused over this:

'Regarding changing her PB, we've reviewed the information (essays, actually) and decided that, in her circumstances, changing the PB is permissible provided it meets the following criteria:

x. It cannot be the image of another character. I.e., it cannot be the artwork or a PB portrayal of a character which is appable in game. (As in: while RDJ might be a viable PB, RDJ portraying Tony Stark would not be.)'

what???? so youre forcing the player into a corner? that pretty much crosses out pbs that could be a good fit for a river: liu yifei. malese jow (white/chinese, best/worth of both sides?). etc.

it baffles me that this is a rule. there are better fits for river than this if not for the stipulation.

(Anonymous) 2017-02-11 05:17 pm (UTC)(link)
i could understand if someone was using something very identifiable like rdj in the ironman suit as a pb but come on

i'm not a la rper but it seems like with this rule, you either can't use rdj or you have to use icons of him on the red carpet or in tabloids

hi everyone,
we need some advice. val received a message today from a company about a possible official release of Sweet Pool. We've been asked if we want to provide our scripts that we are currently beta testing to them and cooperate on the translation. We're torn. We've put years into this project amidst a lot of real life pain and drama. We are almost finished with the project too, though we still have some things to fix up in beta testing.
On the other hand, a professional company could make life a lot easier and possibly fix the technical issues that seem to have been floating around with Sweet Pool since the partial patch was first released. There would probably be other benefits as well to having an official license, but we don't know enough about this.
Does anyone have any experience with dealing with companies in this context? Or other thoughts?


Later:

Hey everyone. So after a few days of discussion, we've decided to finish the patch ourselves. We only started this project for the fans and don't want to see it being used to make a profit. There may later be a paid english version released through the company, but we'll see what happens.
Anyhow, back to beta testing and thanks for your continued support!


I, too, hate encouraging people to actually buy a legit copy of the game by releasing an unauthorized patch that I'm probably going to get a C&D for later.

+1 but the mods decided to blame the "current DWRP culture" instead of anything they actually had power to change.

a porny cyberpunk au psl involving my favorite ot3, who between doing fun action/intrigue stuff are all fucking each other in various combos on the regular. even better would be getting to play this in a full-on small musebox cyberpunk au game (maybe up to 10 players or so).

i am so jealous of people who are able to successfully get small private games off the ground and keep them running and wish i could get into one.

you should say something like that! in other AU games I've had some great cr responding to things like "hey here's my character, they're [insert stuff here], they should interact but I need more ideas to springboard"

the other person might have ideas, but not know you're interested if you're on the meme, or if you're a current player, not have a way to talk to you

I wanted to have a minor criminal character, since I don't mind the "fines, stuck in jail and/or community service," but honestly it was the "AND you lose points!" thing that turned me off. It sounds unnecessary.

And since all the characters I'm best with have criminal/antagonist bents, I'm...not sure what to do with them.

Easier how, exactly?

I'm just curious as one of those oldbies who's noticed they've been slacking on making new CR. I'd love to know if there's anything you (or anyone else) has noticed about what's making us more difficult to tag? Tag speed, lack of tagging in opportunities or oldbies not tagging out enough? Something else?

I recently looked at some of the characters I play and realised I have a whole bunch of wizards. I was looking for other magical types to play out a conflict with- I have good, bad, lawful, chaotic and every combination thereof from medieval to modern and the far future in space.

I'd prefer a multi-layered conflict that's not just throwing fireballs at each other (though that's more than welcome as part of it), but is more about tricks, traps, counters, counter counters, summons etc and achieving broader goals than just beating their opponent in a fight.

Naturally, specifics would have to be worked out when we know what characters we're matching up against each other. I'm okay with OCs because a couple of the ones I'd be offering are OCs.

there's not a lot of wiggle room when you'd rather not lose all your ooc activity points but also can't deviate that far from your character's canon personality/history for the au. i've been having similar troubles and idk what the answer is aside from trying to find another character.

If anyone wants to try and give this lady a shot... I've been tweaking with her for a while now as I'm working on an app for Hadriel. Just had to brush up on my ancient history lately because she's a 3,300+ year old immortal from Neo Babylon, and that is... hoo.

Here are some additional concepts on her design!
