We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

[socksuke_uchiha]

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.

HOW DO YOU FIND NEW CASTMATES?

[(Anonymous)]

So you're fresh into a new canon and want to find castmates to play with. What do you do?

Re: HOW DO YOU FIND NEW CASTMATES?

If it's a canon that I know friends are also into, I ask them if they're interested in playing any characters from it, or tag them if they already are playing from the canon.

If it's a "fad" canon that has a bandwagon attached (an ongoing show, something which just finished a run, etc) I look for characters from it I am interested to tag on BS. Eventually some do stick around, and I've met a few friends this way.

If the canon is new only to you and/or has no bandwagon, then you can either (1) try to get friends interested in the canon so they will play castmates or (2) tag out crosscanon and hope you are engaging enough to have the players you tag look into the canon, thereby leading to (1).

also, being really lucky probably doesn't hurt.

thread starter anon, i hope your luck and social/enabling skills are better than mine. godspeed.

Plurk about it and see if any of your friends respond.

Go into Canon Discussion and look for/post a roll call thread for the canon.

Check out enablemeplz (the thread here or the community).

Keep an eye on the games you're interested in. You never know who's gonna pop up in an app round.

All of the above, and also: keep an eye out for the roll call meme in bakerstreet. You can sometimes find rare canon or rare castmates there.

Also, remember to post your own character to all the rollcalls and enablemeplz too, as well as making them visible by posting around on memes. Sometimes you can lure castmates out of the woodwork (it's happened to me multiple times when I wasn't even looking for castmates!).

small -1 here. the roll call memes recently are just a lot of headers with hardly any responses, and even those who respond aren't much in terms of quality (That Rogue comes to mind).

meme visibility is helpful, though. seconding that.

I thought that meme was fortanon

Re: HOW DO YOU FIND NEW CASTMATES?

It is, but they crosspost to BS, so I find it faster to keep an eye out on BS when I'm already trawling for memes there.

Re: HOW DO YOU FIND NEW CASTMATES?

I'm considering hiring a hooker. Probably the only way I'll find them at this point.

HA!

Sadly, it's true for me too, though. High-five, buddy?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

I would literally give someone a paid account, make their icons, buy them the canon and whatever else if they would play the other half of my ship ISTG
