sorry that people are sick of your majestic mcus

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 post personal information. This includes but is not limited to full names, addresses, phone numbers and so on.
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.

Fantasy: I'm not really into "classic" MMORPG/DnD-style settings, and I'm bored to death of Harry Potter ripoffs and monster hunting. But I love fantasy world history/politics/culture and interesting magic systems.

Science Fiction: I generally enjoy scifi. My preference is for near-future speculative scifi and space westerns over Star Trek, though. I admittedly love cyberpunk and steampunk, but they're so overdone... Gritty dystopian horror scifi has gotten dull, too. Post-apocalyptic survival isn't my thing, but I do like stories that are set long after the collapse of the modern world.

Historical: I love history, but 100% accurate historical settings can be hard to rp in so I prefer historical fantasy or alternate history for RP purposes. I've done a lot of PSLs set in 1860s-1930s Japan because I know that era pretty well, but anything can be fun. I'm only interested in historical AUs, though... historical jamjars tend to be kind of bland because characters don't have enough connection to the setting to really make it work as anything more than background decoration.

Contemporary: It really depends. I'm not interested in SOL, romance, school settings or horror at all. Urban fantasy is overdone but it can be interesting if there's more to it than just "a modern city with elves and vampires." Contemporary mystery/spy/heist stuff can be fun.

Why did you group urban fantasy with contemporary when there's a category for fantasy as well? The anon below you did the same thing.

IDK, I feel like most urban fantasy is closer to contemporary than it is to other types of fantasy. Most of the urban fantasy novels I've read are basically just mystery novels set in the real world with a side of vampires/demons/whatever. The fantasy aspect is usually pretty generic and underdeveloped - "all folklore creatures are real, and they're secretly living as modern humans in NYC!" Likewise, I think most historical fantasy set in the real world is more defined by its historical aspects than by its fantasy aspects.

Anyway, there are very few DWRP games that go full contemporary with no magic or powers. Outside of "coffee shop AU" memes we don't really do a lot of straight-up contemporary here. College and celeb games are big on IJ but not so much on DW.
