something big going down in clown town

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.

I think I'm getting tired of those 'magic effect makes your character feel a different way' events, like "oops you ate the chocolate that makes you aggressive!" or "you picked the flower that causes you to be happy all the time!". I get why they're fun sometimes because they push characters out of their comfort zones, but they're hard to do a lot of because...I'm playing my character because I like their personality. I don't want to change it! It just feels weird and out of character, especially when its a TDM prompt or a game where you don't have a lot of CR yet. IDK, maybe it's a skill issue?

I've pretty much always hated those events and often leave games with too many of them. I know some people are just looking for the fastest way to insert tab a into slot b but I'd rather get there with character building and consistent CR building

they're fine and harmless when they're one option of multiple but when they're the only plot to engage with they suck

but i think that about most genres of event prompt

then don't do those prompts. not hard.

I'm in a game where every event post has at least two of these sorts of prompts and its been this way since I joined. Sucks. Before the new mods took over I was told they had very different events which were much more creative.

Feels a little like nostalgia for the old days, where those were the only events and it was one week of one prompt. At least these days you have multiple prompts per event if you don't want to play with "suddenly everyone's a tsundere" or something.
