Help! My rp partner hasn't invited me to play our OTP in their game! (´・ω・`)

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.

Do you include Tayledras clans and some of the other nations, or is it strictly limited to the borders of Valdemar itself? Bards, Healers acceptable as well as Heralds? Do players of Heralds play their own Companions?

Can I play a gryphon from Iftel?

real talk? i think it'd be plausible to 'host' the game or have the main game setting in valdemar itself, but heralds and/or other types can take missions or play doing routes and envoys into other areas. iftel is iffy because of that whole 'closed god/borders' issue, but hey, you wanna play a sentient being that's shown sentience in the series like a gryphon or maybe a kyree? why not?

personally, i think most roles should be open (herald/bard/healer/scout/guard, etc), but one that actually has a role to play and isn't just some lord or w/e that sits around doing nothing because they didn't really have a plan other than 'my char has lots of money/prestige'. have a role, but i think that would also be part of the app process and you'd likely have to make an oc to fit in with the setting. my other personal preference would be that if a herald has a companion, they should also play them, because god forbid that ooc crap comes up between herald/companion players and one drops or there's a fight and now they split but they can't because that's not how it works and oh no. ties like that just seem better to be played by a single party as opposed to pairing people up.

just a few thoughts, that's all. not like i could run it or anything, but man, i wish it was a thing.

sa

because now i'm on a roll here, the good thing about this series as a base is that for people that want to have an animal companion/bond, you can have more than just the companion/herald option. there's bondbirds and sorceresses can summon familiars, etc. you can also do a solo companion/herald pre being chosen, so if you have an idea for one but haven't figured out the other, you can start with just the one to get your foot in the door and then choose/be chosen. or you can start out as a bard/healer/guard and hey, get chosen or something and adapt to the setting. there's room for fighters and thinkers and a wide variety of slots to fill. i think if it was set in valdemar, the mod(s) would have to pick a time period and npc the monarchy (of valdemar and any other neighboring countries to avoid powerplays), but beyond that, there's a wide world of play available, depending on if you go old-valdemar or new/not played yet.

I'd donate a whole tit to see this game happen.

I'd definitely look at a Valdemar game. I've had silly fandom OCs in my head since I was smol.

i think i'm the most sad about this because there was a time a few years ago when someone actually started to make one. there's a collegium mod account somewhere and then they lost steam. so it almost happened, and that makes it worse/sadder for me.

i love that series and i'd love to make a herald. or a mercenary or something. i mean, there's just so many options. i think i'm going to go reread the series again. so many books.

Hokay, but if the TV show happens, this is much, MUCH more likely to be an idea someone runs with:

also true. i'd been hoping they'd think of doing movies or a series, but i wasn't sure where they'd start. not entirely surprised they went with vanyel, and it makes me wonder if they plan on following along the timeline if it doesn't flop. it'd be a good opening, though.
