Rundown: 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 not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.

GAME IDEAS

[socksuke_uchiha]

App Game

[(Anonymous)]

It happens pretty frequently that people app into games and then don't play a lot. What they like is the app process and imagining how the game will go and how their CR will develop, but then reality intrudes, they get bored, squat, drop, rinse and repeat.

What if the game was just the app process?

Every month, all interested players submit apps for characters. There's a TDM with prompts where they could thread things out with each other if they wanted. But mostly, there's the voting process: after the app period closes, the mod picks an award category and creates a bracket. The players do NOT know the category ahead of time.

Sample categories: best personality section, most likely to save the day, funniest app.

All the apps go in a tournament bracket, and anyone who submitted an app that month can vote on each tournament round. So, for example, if the category is "best personality section" players vote on which app in each bracket matchup has the better personality section in their opinion. Brackets have at most 4 rounds, with a vote every week, and a winner is declared at the end of the month.

The prize? The thrill of victory, bragging rights, and the winner can never submit another app for that character.

Obviously there's a monthly event/mingle thread for characters as well. Characters could react to the voting, too.

RP WITH ME

Lord of the Rings | post-war healing/trauma bonding | canon or crosscanon

[shieldofrohan]

kind of both a very specific ask and a very broad one at once, so I'm struggling to know how to put this, BUT:

I have a real hankering to play something built around the time immediately after the War of the Ring, where I can really dig my teeth into the nitty-gritty of characters dealing with how the whole world has suddenly changed, trying to heal physically and psychologically, and catching up with what's required of them after the end of everything.

I would particularly like to play Éowyn (hence the journal) dealing with disabling injuries and the complete shift in how she sees herself and the world, but I also have a Faramir, and could maybe be persuaded to play other characters too.

The actual character relationship(s) could be anything - shippy, familial, friendly, adversarial, whatever. I would love to play Éowyn/Faramir, or to play either of them against an Aragorn, Arwen, Éomer...

I am also super open to crosscanon with compatible canons (for example, in the past I've done a lot of ASoIaF crossovers), and to brainstorming AUs to make non-canon CR work. That includes non-canon ships, if you want to lean into the H/C aspect. I'm also super open to OCs - I love them.

My interest is mostly in book canon and centred on the realms of Men (i.e. Gondor and Rohan), but I'm flexible on both of those points.

I would die for a long-term PSL around this sort of material, but if you're only interested in a one-off thread, or in trying it out and seeing whether we click, or in looking out for each other on memes, that's all fine too! I really just want to scratch that "long slow recovery from something unthinkable" itch without worrying that I'm treading on anyone's toes.

M/F Sexual Addiction, Sexual Exhaustion, Multiple Rounds, Dub Con

[(Anonymous)]

A girl wants a guy and finds a way to make them want her. Whatever it is (a potion, spell, drug, hypnotism or perfume) works a little too well and a little too long. She ends up on the receiving end of someone with an insatiable need for her.

She might have intended for it to be a one and done, a quick fling to cement a long term relationship or might have thought it was to induce love not love/lust. Either way she has to now ride it out until it wears off due to him not stopping or her knowing if she leaves him like this she’ll get found out.

Can even be a misfire catching someone she didn’t intend.

I’m to play the guy under the influence. He can be lucid and addicted or completely animalistic. PM [personal profile] socksfornothing if interested.

Why don’t some people change their icon when they tag? I know it’s an “I’m lazy” thing, but it takes 0.002 to pick an icon. It looks so bad when people don’t, and it makes me not want to tag you if you’re not going to put that little bit of effort in.

Tagging from mobile/email makes icon changes a bigger pain in the ass than usual.
