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.

GAME ADVERTISEMENTS

F A S T I : a historical fantasy in Imperial Rome ⚚ test drive on 3/31!

[sacrovati]

FASTI

➢ Ripped away from the life you've previously known, consciousness finds you in the midst of ancient imperial Rome. The only thing that follows you are memories and possibly a few scant supplies on you before you arrived. Friends, technology, even clothing are discarded or left behind. Upon arrival, newly equipped in the ephemera of a time not your own, you are given a simple choice: help Olympus save itself or find yourself condemned to crawl back up from the depths of Tartarus. Assigned to different patron Gods and Goddesses, your characters will work to earn new abilities to help fight in the gods' new war. Fasti is a historical fantasy game, set in the midst of ancient Rome, steeped in Greco-Roman mythology. Characters will be thrust into the middle of a war waged between ancient deities, conscripted from different times and worlds, gathered together to live, work, and fight within the walls of the city of Rome.

main ➢ taken ➢ reserves ➢ applications f.a.q. ➢ setting ➢ locations ➢ patrons

➢ Test Drive to open on 3/31. ➢ Reserves set to open on 4/15, applications on 4/22.

PB SUGGESTIONS

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: PB SUGGESTIONS

[(Anonymous)]

Searching for a woman who looks in her mid twenties. If the actress is older that's fine, since a lot of times a mid twenties actress still looks underage and I want to avoid that image. Brown hair, preferably in a ponytail enough that most of my icons can show that. Eye color preferably brown, but I'm not dead set on it. Race can be anything. One thing I'm really looking for is not a lot of makeup or jewelry on her, which has made the search harder.

GAME IDEAS

[socksuke_uchiha]

sci-fi/horror-esque

[somniusmods]

bad timing on my part (i'm just about to head out) but a while ago i tested the waters about a sci-fi/horror dream type game. got some great feedback, and then life got hectic. however!

this is what i have so far. let me know what you think? feedback and questions would be great. i'll be back later/tomorrow to respond and get the rest of the info posted up

CHARACTER ADVICE

[socksuke_uchiha]

Wander | Shadow of The Colossus

[(Anonymous)]

I got an itch to throw this guy at a couple of memes after watching a fun let's play of the game, but I have no idea how people who play from this game or Ico handle their characters backstories, so any advice on how to handle Wander's would be really nice!

Any other things to keep in mind with Wander would be appreciated, too.

KINKS YOU WANT TO PLAY

[socksuke_uchiha]

f/f, pirates, rivals, training, master/slave or master/pet

[(Anonymous)]

A young pirate queen, who has only been active for a few years but is extremely efficient and talented, is finally defeated and captured by her biggest rival (another pirate, a naval captain, etc.) who decides to make up by years of frustration by breaking down the queen and training her as a personal slave.

I can play either role, but if I'm playing the rival I'd like for the queen to be haughty, arrogant, and defiant at the start of the thread. Their relationship can either start and stay very hostile, or they can gradually warm up to each other in a stockholms/lima syndrome sort of way. Drawn PBs only. Leave a sock if you want to play.

RECOMMEND A CANON/CHARACTER

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: RECOMMEND A CANON/CHARACTER

[(Anonymous)]

hey anons, i'm looking for a character who's disdainful, selfish, maybe even a bit cruel, but can get away with it by dint of being extremely charismatic and knowing just the right things to say to people. he doesn't have to be an outright villain, just an unpleasant person who hides it well and only lets his mean streak show when he knows he can excuse it away.

looking for male characters in their early 20s or older. slight preference for anime or western cartoons, but any medium is fine, as long as it's not an excessively lengthy/hard to find canon.

How to be a good castmate?

[(Anonymous)]

For a really long time I've been playing ocs, or from unpopular/older canons that don't attract big casts. But I'm looking to join a game that has a large cast from a big, popular canon. And I'm intimidated, just because I'm not sure I know HOW to be a good castmate. What are some tips? What's the best way to be a part of a large in game cast?

[(Anonymous)]

i wouldn't really treat it any differently than threading with cross-canon folks. i know it's common-ish these days for large casts in games to, say, have their own discord server. so in this example you could join your cast's server so that everyone can chat and plot and plan threads and all of that. this kind of planning can also easily be done on plurk instead.

really just be in communication with everyone in the cast to plan out threads and such! as long as you're open and communicative i can't imagine anything else that's really required.

i think a bad castmate would be someone who, say, pretended a certain canon relationship didn't exist just because they didn't like it, or someone who ONLY tagged people outside of the cast while ignoring the cast entirely. like really as long as you're around and tagging your cast you're doing just fine!

i wouldn't stress too much, anon. i'm sure you'll be fine! you already sound like a thoughtful and considerate person so i don't think you'll have issues

[(Anonymous)]

If I were to do manga coloring icon commissions, what are some good manga to use for the examples? I don’t know which ones have nice art these days.

[(Anonymous)]

jojolion
golden kamuy
kakegurui
dorohedoro
card captor sakura clear card

they're not exactly popular to rp from (yet, in golden kamuy's case), or even necessarily good, but they all have gorgeous art and challenges that come with colorizing them. it'll show off your skills nicely.

TAKING ICON REQUESTS!

[mintesque]

i have some free time, but i have no clue what to make, so drop some hq caps here (up to 15) and i'll make you some icons.

Re: TAKING ICON REQUESTS!

what kinds of caps would you prefer

la, anime/manga, all of the above?

also it might be a good idea to post this offer in the graphics help thread too

ic inboxes

[(Anonymous)]

hello rpa,

it suddenly struck me that ic inboxes are always (?? correct me if wrong) on character journals and not on a dedicated game comm, so i wondered if any lj/dwrp historians had any idea why this is the Way We Do Things

i assume it has something to do with inboxes initially not being sanctioned/allowed to be used for ac but :thinking: call me curious

Re: ic inboxes

[(Anonymous)]

idk if its the original reason but its nice to put rapid-fire one-on-one interactions in a side post instead of clogging up a network comm with multiple posts locked to just one person ig
