We mustn't offend the all powerful NPCs!

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.

most of those have fallen by the wayside for various reasons. [community profile] milliways_bar exists on dw, but it's at the periphery of dwrp these days. the audience coming to rpa mostly doesn't use it.

the primary non-game communities we use now are:
[community profile] bakerstreet - meme community and hub for other meme communities, a lot of memes are crossposted
[community profile] fortanon - meme community with anon enabled
[community profile] dear_player - replacement for dear_mun, first-person RP with a meta angle
[personal profile] enablemeplz - replacement for appthisplease, a place to find games and PSLS
[community profile] rpanons, obviously, but you found this one

[community profile] the_love_hotel and [community profile] sixwordstories also still exist, but they don't have reputations for drawing good players.

people have been interested in reviving various communities and styles of RP, but very few have been successful. dwrpers will talk about missing dressing rooms or nexus communities, but the bulk of rpers are no longer interested in actually playing in those settings and the people who try to revive old comms often give up.

if you're willing to adapt to the current landscape, there are still plenty of ways to get both first-person and third-person RP, but they might not look the way they did back in 2004.

[community profile] 1prompt is another meme comm trying to get off the ground with the premise of no blank toplevels. But I rarely see it advertised, only found it by mistake the other day, and it's not super active either.
