Catboy Boyfriends 'R Us

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.

the genres have a lot of potential, but end up being Star Trek minus the worldbuilding/history and DnD minus the kingdoms, unique locales and plot. I love sci-fi and fantasy off of DWRP. In DWRP, it's a red flag that things about to get very generic and very dull very quickly.

Yeah, even when games do go heavy on worldbuilding and NPCs, it's a ton of modwork for what usually amounts to set dressing and plot dumps that half the players will ignore anyway. If you strip all the history and cultural conflict out of something like Star Trek, you just have space people wearing spandex and exploring the planet of the week.

I feel like OC and AU games allow for better use of a complicated setting with a lot of background history, but they're unpopular and hard to get off the ground.

yeah i'm already pretty sick of the renewed missiony sci-fi trend. i don't begrudge people for enjoying those games, it really does boil down to personal taste, but they're just not for me and they always seem to attract wank so that's even more reason i give them a wide berth.
