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.

Can we get a regular post with various characters representing their games in beach volleyball competitions?

You could make an rp comm for that and we'll list it. With all the pixelly jiggling you want.

you have a typo on your alpha index: bluer_skies should be bluerskies (no underscore)

Thank you! Updated.

PENANCE

You remember a dream.

Or maybe nightmare is more accurate.

It was full of hellfire nipping at your skin and a sensation of being pulled down no matter how much you struggle or cry for help. There's a voice that feels like it's coming from all around you at once. Contrasting with the nightmare unfolding around you, it's smooth as silk. It makes you want to listen with every bit of attention you can muster in the moment.

"Judgement has come upon you, but not to worry. It can still be undone."

The voice promises you redemption for your sins. It promises you a better life and everything you could ever want, if only you just stop struggling so much.

And so you do. You hit a mercifully soft surface soon after.

When you open your eyes, two things become apparent. One, your body feels heavy, like you've been asleep for a week. Two, you're in what looks like a hotel room somewhere. It certainly isn't anywhere you remember being before.

A look around the room done up in red, you realize you're on a bed and there's a window to your left, a tiny TV in the corner. The walls are are bare besides a couple hellish paintings. Beside you on the nighttable is a piece of parchment with a list of sins scrawled in blood. Specifically your sins. You become almost instantaneously aware that your palm stings and realize there's a deep cut there. The blood on the paper is yours.

There's also a device that looks like an old Blackberry phone and a few of your belongings in the room. Looking out the window shows a hellscape full of jagged terrain and unfriendly hellfire, broken down old buildings. It's a nightmare. Stepping out, you'll see dimly lit halls. You may run into demonic staff wandering the halls, manning the front desk. Inevitably, you'll run into fellow sinners like yourself.

The one thing you won't be able to find is an exit out of this nightmare.

Welcome to Penance.

penancerp is an 18+ horror game based in hell around the concepts of redemption and corruption. Characters are given an opportunity for both, but since damned souls fuel hell, the temptation to do bad will definitely be prevalent. Monthly events will center on physical and psychological abuse and torture, body horror, pitting characters against each other, exploration, and navigating through hell itself. If your character chooses to give into sin, this may also lead to more locations to explore and develop as hell gains more power. Player plots are encouraged. This game is sex-friendly and will likely deal with many potentially triggering topics.

WELCOME TO ACATALEPSY

It happens in the blink of an eye.

One moment, you are home. Perhaps you are with your family, perhaps you are at work. It's a completely normal day . . . and then, suddenly, your stomach drops. You are overcome with a sudden sense of vertigo. You cannot see up, or down, or where you are.

And once that moment is over, you fall flat on your face. It's sunny, warm, with the tickling of glass. It takes a few moments for you to gain composure, to catch your breath. When you open your eyes, no one is there.

You are surrounded by ancient stone buildings, with carvings you do not recognize etched into the stone. The place looks deserted, with crumbling architecture, remnants of clothing strewn all over the place... as if a natural disaster walked through, and no one was around to clean up the aftermath.

There's a sense of nausea, overwhelming and sudden, when you realize you aren't in Kansas anymore.

JOIN THE CIRCLE
Acatalepsy is a plot-driven survival/fantasy RPG. Your character was pulled, involuntarily, through a gap in the universe known as the Void, and you have arrived here against your will... seemingly by accident. Your canon powers do not work, nor do your magical items. However, you seem to have been granted some strange new ability... a magic power previously granted by the Temple's former benefactor, Astoria, has now been passed onto you b the Temple itself.

That gift can be anything from creating fire to creating spontaneous birthday cakes to rain from the sky for about an hour. How this magical ability is granted to you properly, Kathashun has no idea... but it seems to be working, so there's that, at least?

Your primary objective, now, is to survive. The Temple is in shambles and it seems as if you do not have a lot of ready-made food. You need to find shelter, but Kathashun warns you not to get too comfortable. Your first mission as a member of the Circle awaits, and it seems the only way to get home is to find someone powerful enough to send you there.

Hang on tight, and good luck. You're gonna need it.

NOTE: Acatalepsy is currently in Chapter Two of the story. For a look at the first premise of the game, check here.

WELCOME TO FRAGMENTS OF MEMORIES
Your character is either a native or otherworlder in this exploration adventuring Final Fantasy based game. If an otherworlder, your character was pulled through a portal and ended up in a cryo like tube only to be released and explained to them that they can't go back. Characters then have a decision to make; get a boring secular job or choose a fighting class to adventure with likeminded people and somehow find your way home. This game focuses on adventure/exploration, story arcs/plots that you don't have to participate in, character development, character relationships, missions and leveling your characters through threading and having stats posted in your journal to be regularly updated. There's still undiscovered islands, forgotten continents, forgotten ruins and caves to discover. Materia and Energy are the 'magic' of this game as well. You can also come up and add materia to the list in the future too. 

As the game progresses, more locations, items, and other tidbits will be added. You are also free to add your own things as well, because roleplay is not just storytelling but telling a story together. We welcome OU, AU, PREVIOUS GAME HISTORY AND ORIGINAL CHARACTERS. Reserves are always open, but there's a time limit for applications. Ten days we rest, 20-21 days we app. So, reserve today and journey on. There's many things in store for a young adventurer like yourself.

I have to fix the rules/faq link. I'd also like to mention I've decided on a test drive meme going up on the 5th of September. Sixteen days before applications open on the 21st, @ 7 P.M Eastern and 4 P.M Pacific. So, remember, Test Drive, September. 5th. See you there!

I agree with the list of critiques that the previous anons left, that this seems a little bit unfinished, but I'd like to add the following...

You have a lot of information that requires the reader to be extremely canon-familiar.

On the FAQ you mention level ups several times, but never link to the jobs page to explain how to level up. And there isn't a dedicated page to submit activity to level up as far as I can tell. Considering this is one of your major game mechanics, I think it should be made impossible to miss.

Some of your information is presented in a way that's hard to read or understand how it applies to a text-based roleplay. For instance, on the jobs page you mention stats but don't really explain what they're for, like I have no idea what I would do with the "critical hit" stat in game. The abilities should also be standardized a bit more. "Normal ammo (causes regular damage but gets stronger as you level)" but how much? "Death (Level 25)" with no explanation of what the ability does. I would infer from this that it would automatically kill a character, which seems overpowered.

Also, you seem to be playing as both Zack and Cody on your TDM. That seems odd. Do you plan on doing so in your game?

Premise

You've been living your life up until this point, ignorant of other worlds, other universes, other dimensions and you've probably never given much thought to them other than "Wouldn't that be cool?" You go about your business, doing your everyday tasks. Maybe you're a normal human being trying to live life from day to day, a hero who keeps having to save their world again and again, or a villain, who just hasn't seen the glory of his day.

On one particular night, not unlike all the others you've had, you go to sleep and have a vivid dream. A scape that speaks to you, that warms your heart, makes you feel good in all the right places, but then a dark foreboding presence clouds all that good. It wraps itself around your throat, your body and your heart. You can't breathe as it makes it's way into your lungs.

You feel as those any good in you will be wiped out. You see yourself commanding battalions of twisted monsters, who you know will cause heartache and pain to all those who stand in your way. Then you see them, the most important person to you in your life. They've chosen the other side, the light. You feel that need to be in their light, that bright warmth that has always been your guide but the darkness in you doesn't want to let you go.

You come upon them, quick and swift. Your weapon pierces their heart and that look in their eyes, the betrayal. You feel so heartbroken, that you wake up with a gasp, disoriented and staring at the ceiling as you try to catch your breath. You swallow heavily, sunlight filters into your eyes and you reach up with a hand to shield them.

Only you can't, your hand hits the ceiling and then you notice it. You're trapped in something, small and without a lot of space to move around. At first you panic, but then as soon as you push against the ceiling with all your strength, it pops open and you sit up. Looking around, there are coffins everywhere. Beautiful white wicker coffins with flowers on top of them. You also appear to be in a forest.

Of course, you're confused, but then you look down at your lap and see an envelope with your name written on the front. You open it and it read it:

Dear Otherworlder,

We imagine you are now very perplexed, and wish to know where you are. We suppose we should tell you where, because there are important things to discuss. You are in the town of Brass Petal, a place still relatively new but thriving with life. We have been watching you for quite some time, and we need you to conduct... a little experiment for us. We realize this may not be what you want, but you are here and for now, there is no way of sending you back. You'll just have to deal.

To further explain, this is the real world: Brass Petals, and then we have another world, the virtual world. Yes, it's exactly what you're thinking. Virtual reality, except you can travel the internet, inside computers but it's all very real, my friend. Everything feels real, for all intents and purposes, it is real. You can do anything your heart desires, and make discoveries around every corner. The only thing you can't do is die.

You'll find that Brass Petals is a beautiful place to live in. We have set you off with a care package to get you started in town and you'll find an apartment or house has been set up for you. You'll find directions there, but feel free to change it. There are many things you can do in town, However, you'll find the virtual world has a lot more beauty to it. It has a lot more to do, the possibilities are endless. You can be character in a mass mmorpg, climb mountains, or write novels with just a thought or gain knowledge of any subject you wish in a short amount of time. If you've seen the movie, the Matrix. You may understand just a drop in the magnitude of truths.

Take yourself to the Chamberlin Hotel in town. There, you will meet our beautiful buxom blonde, Charlie O'Riley and she'll give you a messenger bag with a laptop, a high-tech tablet about the size of a man's large hand, gorgeous cellphone for our network, 500 C or coin as we've nicknamed it, it's on a credit card, worth 1,500 U.S.D and replenishes monthly. You'll need to get a job otherwise to acquire more c. You can upgrade your tablet and computer, buy charms, pay for the cost of living in your new home, and of course, there's always the highly sought after food and drink.

How to get into the virtual world is fairly easy. The tablet you acquire is your reality switcher, yes, it works on our network too but I wouldn't use it for that all the time. It's main purpose is switching between the realities. You have a clunky silver bracelet with two gem indentions, it comes with a USB cord. It has a little U.S.D port. You also have two gem encrusted buttons, the first is red and the second is blue. You hook up the bracelet to the tablet, then press the blue button to get into the virtual world.

Your body will turn into tiny little particles and you'll feel a slight burning sensation. Then you'll go trough the screen and end up in a house in the virtual world that is very much like your own, except everything will be tinged a slight blue hue. To get back, you will find the exact same set up and must push the red button. The bracelet cannot be taken off. If you lose your tablet, you can buy one on either side.

It's important that you use these two worlds. It's vital to our experiment. Please enjoy your stay and above all else, do not get lost on the super information highway. We'd hate to have to go looking for you.

Regards,
The Dad Paradox

hello! this is an interesting game and looks like it'll fill a gap which has gone long unfulfilled for many of us.

some questions/suggestions:
1. the "dear otherworlder" letter is a little wordy, esp on a game ad and journal profile. for ease of reading, perhaps you could make its element collapsible, or link to the premise page from the ad and profile.
2. do you have a mod contact page, or some easily noticeable way that players or prospective players can reach you at?
3. just a general remark - there are assorted bits in the writeups that a proofreader would have caught. it seems "virtual plain and the reality plain" are in reference to planes, for example, unless characters are expected to run like gazelles out in the wild?

rpreviews
I'm hoping this is wanted, it's obvious by the community name what it's for. Please read the profile info and rules before joining. I figured we needed something like this around because I couldn't actually find a community based on this. If there is, I'm quite sorry and I'll cease and desist. Otherwise, it's heavily moderated to keep out assholes. Give this place a chance?

i don't think there's a need or even a desire for this.

any issues with mods should be taken to those mods. mods already have it hard enough without getting detailed ratings somewhere they can't control instead of having issues brought to them.

i'm sure your heart is in the right place but i can't imagine any positives to this that can't be handled by someone making an rpa comment that goes "how are the mods in x game?"

honestly not trolling here but if this and your game does take off how do you expect to balance both of these comms? running games is demanding. running a comm to nurture game discussion and workshops more so. how will you balance this all out?
