dehumanize yourself and face the bloodshed

[rpanonyoda]

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.

like i said, it might be a style thing

i've never played in a game where there were a lot of faceless npcs that just weren't used, so it feels especially weird

You've never played in a game set in a city, where normal people go about their daily lives doing normal things??

I don't understand this

Re: ayrt

is it the norm now?

i also only recently came back to rp after a few years and most of the games i played in before were contained worlds with little to no npc presence except when it was plot important

Re: ayrt

it's pretty normal now. characters get (moderate) free reign to flesh out their mundane npc interaction without worrying if they're stepping on mod toes or missing anything important because they didn't speak to Farmer A the right way at the right time and gave her a gift of a dog husk on the night of a full moon

the npcs are there for background flavor/color, not leading the plot

a lot of faceless npcs have been the rule in dwrp for a while now, and it's one of the best changes we've adapted. it lets you interact with the setting better.

there are a few players, very nice players, who seem lost without an NPC to tell them exactly what to do and to receive their witty snark and "fuck The Man" behavior

but

i'm glad we are going without. i could not stand another game like CDC with everyone climbing all over themselves for NPC cr, asking the exact same questions month after month and ignoring PCs because "NPC #3 rolled her eyes at my character's stupid remark #burn"
