good luck to your dad on his path to downton abbey BNFdom

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 a dork who firmly believes in life after death so this kind of stuff doesn't really bother me

like, even if i'm wrong, i'm gonna live my life not being afraid of it. i might not be aware i lived a paranoid, needlessly anxious life when i'm dead, but it's pretty easy to just believe otherwise and have a much more pleasant experience!

I theorize that Poppy has kind of a Burgmon kind of deal; you don't have to kill her, just clear her game. Show off your sick dance moves or something.

Is there any way to tell if someone blocked you on plurk?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-26 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
yeah, go to their plurk page and it'll tell you

(Anonymous) 2017-02-26 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
And I assume it would be somewhere obvious and hard to miss?

(Anonymous) 2017-02-26 09:47 am (UTC)(link)
It won't even show you their profile. It'll say "sorry, you don't have permission to view x's profile". When you log out, you'll be able to see their profile (though if it's private you still can't read their plurks obviously).

(Anonymous) 2017-02-26 09:58 am (UTC)(link)
I see. Thank you!

that'd be cute! if that's true, it'd also be nice if she had a touching episode with her human host (whoever that is).

btw anon, if you don't mind do you have a plurk etc? i'd love to keep talking about exaid but that's only if you want

373. I've been on tumblr since like 2011 but have done nothing to court followers so I don't get many.

Re: time-space travel game based on Travelers

The obvious questions are things about the hosts, I think.

I assume you're basically going to be asking everyone to pick new PBs/faces for their characters as well as writing up some identity backstory for the life that they're taking over?

How you deal with this seems like it's going to be one of the big stumbling blocks. I'm not sure it's really a case of "what questions are expected for a game like this." I think it's more a case of whether you can come up with a clear way to make it viable and then explain the rules of it to people.

Personally, I really like the show, but I think a game based off of it will be an uphill climb. When you cut it down to its barebones, you've basically got a jamjar where everyone has been dragged into the setting by a super powerful AI, but now they've got a different face, body, name, and are supposed to be living a different life.

The other problem that goes hand and hand with this is about consent and motivation. The Travelers in the show are committed to their missions because they have signed up to risk their lives doing this. They keep to the protocols because they have faith in the method and what they're doing.

Once you start dragging people in from the multiverse who have no idea what is going on or why, you lose that element of devotion to the method. Why would any of these people consent to continuing their host's life? Why would they want to perform these missions that they are being given? A lot of them probably had missions at home that they were devoted to doing. They certainly have no reason to do literally suicidal tasks like we often see from operatives in the show.

So you're going to have to factor a lot of character resistance/resentment into your planning as well. How are you going to deal with all that, and why would a super powerful AI be pulling all these people in to begin with, if so many of them aren't going to help further its goals?

1) LA is not a fandom.

2) What the fuck game are you looking at even?

- signed, someone who plays LA characters in three different games with a lot of varied CR cross-medium and LA in each

That terror can be used for comfort. Boss just fired you because it's better business alternative than giving you a raise? A creep is touching your butt? At least three infants are screaming their lungs out wherever you go?

They all are going to die.

This and CR charts. Really about anything involving coding to me.

I just copy-paste the link to an entry in the character's journal. No coding needed.

117 after throwing out the occasional pornbot

only about five or six of these guys reblog anything from me, but i only ever reblog stuff and never post my own so even that amount is surprising to me
