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.

i would say a good way to off-set this might be to frame it as fantastic and remove anything that might seem too realistic. we've had games in dwrp for years that have played loosely with cultural ideas. (maybe not even that loosely, as Yoshiwara Nights was set in a real city in the Edo period.)

i don't think it should be out of bounds to fictionalize up a vaguely middle eastern world the way we fictionalize up other worlds/settings, but i do agree that some thought here on how to frame it would be a good idea.

You both have good points! I’m never going to do it since I just don’t have time, but for theory sake it would be fantastical and definitely fictional. My first real thought was kind of like Aladdin or something, but not exactly that either.
