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.

i was thinking of coming back to dwrp, and i'm noticing most games are plot heavy. is there anything left in the genres like slash of life (like gargleblasted) or plot-but-only-ocassionally-chill-rest-of-the-time (like asgard)? i just wanna build cr and have character arcs in a chill space

PB SUGGESTIONS

Re: PB SUGGESTIONS

[(Anonymous)]

a pretty man or woman with voluminous white hair, the fluffier the better. mid twenties to mid forties. tan/brown skin and brown eyes would be ideal. neutral or cold and unfriendly expressions preferred.

preference for drawn mediums or something i can color myself, but LA pbs are fine if anyone has a good match.

GAME IDEAS

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: GAME IDEAS

[(Anonymous)]

alright gang, got a premise that's eating a hole in my brain & need y'all to bring me back down to earth before i do something stupid like start to actually build it.

characters are dead. if a character doesn't have a canon deathpoint, players can lightly AU them into one, or (maybe?) have their characters simply not remember what happened to them or how they ended up like this. either way, they're dead, and now they have to make the journey to wherever is next. what's next? who knows!

the landscape is treacherous and unpredictable, but luckily for them, they have a guide! crossing is always a trial, that's the nature of things, but if you pay the ferryman's toll they can guarantee that you won't lose any more of yourself along the way than you would otherwise. the ferryman asks for different things depending on the crossing, but it will always be a memory of some kind, something keeping you tied to your life before. (essentially a reverse-memloss (??) -- characters start with all their memories, and give up ones of varying importance as the game progresses.)

if characters don't want to pay the toll, they can attempt the crossing themselves, at much greater risk to themselves (ie, an avenue for more action-y threads w/ hostile environments, and create opportunities for players who want to engage with the memloss mechanics but whose characters might not ICly agree to the toll). staying behind is not an option — they must cross.

there'd be multiple crossings (unsure if a finite number or not, but probably) -- maybe one every 3 months? every other month? -- and each crossing would involve some kind of major setting change, but ideally not a mood or genre change (unless players are hankering for something like that?).

i'm kicking around a lightish optional metaplot to explain some logistical goofiness (eg, why do some characters remember how they died and others don't? if a character has a known afterlife in their canon, why are they here and not there? etc) + add opportunities for smaller events in between crossings. my idea is to have mechanics to emphasize CR-building over lore-mining/mystery-solving, but could also beef up the relevance of the metaplot though if there's a desire for it (or maybe opportunistically depending on the playerbase?)

i'd love to try to keep it on the small side to allow for personalization -- ie, the memories characters give up don't just disappear into a void, but inform their relationships with the main NPCs, influence the crossing trials, maybe help shape the next setting, etc.

still turning over secondary mechanics/other logistic shizz, but what do we think anons. we got an appetite for something like this, or can i go back to my life before i was seriously considering being a dwrp mod in the year of our lord 2024

CHARACTER ADVICE

[socksuke_uchiha]

dialect in dialogue

[(Anonymous)]

i’m running into a challenge i’ve never had before! i want to play from a canon that uses tudor-era english for world-building reasons, so all the characters sound like someone out of a shakespeare play. having played with a lot of “period” characters with varying degrees of accuracy, i know that this can be done well, but when it’s done badly it’s very noticeable. tips for keeping language use consistent besides “get really familiar with that language”?

RP WITH ME

[socksuke_uchiha]

[bigbanger]

looking for people who don't mind ocs to play with my oc! against other original characters or canon characters, in memes or PSLs. there's a lot of info in Nova's journal about him, but i'm willing to AU him into any sort of setting.

i'm interested in shipping (m/m adults only for this character), and wouldn't mind plotting out some long term story or creating worlds for our characters together. or we could just play them how they normally are in memes.

my tagging speed is fairly consistent, and you'll at least get one tag per day, and boomeranging if you want. i'm absolutely flexible and do not mind waiting a couple days for tags. basically, i backtag for forever, and if you tag me i will continue to tag you back. feel free to PM this journal if you are interested.

Rey/Kylo Ren | Ben Solo Star Wars

[andigetwhatiwant]

I have a Rey in desperate need of a Kylo or a Ben. I'm willing to play off of either and I'm open to pretty much any timeframe and/or AU you're interested in. No dead dove topics, though?

I'm really, really hoping I find the Ben or Kylo or both of my dreams! Please help them come true!

RECOMMEND A CANON/CHARACTER

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: RECOMMEND A CANON/CHARACTER

[(Anonymous)]

i'm looking for a new canon with some good romance undertones and really deep friendships. helpful if it has a good, engaging plot that really develop the connection(s) between character(s). anime, manga, movies and books are good, but please no games. open to pretty much any genre.

or pitch me your ship and canon, with what appeals about it.

for further context: I want a new ship to grab me. I have come to realize a lot of my motivation for RP is ship-based, which brought on an understanding of what appeals to canons. I really love the exploration of friendship/relationships and what draws people together, so anything along those lines would be great.

oooh new post *rolls around in it*

[(Anonymous)]

would you rather have a slow, but wants to tag you, partner who never drops tags but their writing is mid, or an amazing rp partner who boomerang tags you with amazing writing, but then drops the thread randomly mid-way in?

[(Anonymous)]

having threaded with both, the former

the latter will just leave you unsatisfied

[(Anonymous)]

is there a general consensus on how long you should wait before picking up a character that's either recently introduced or from a new series? at what point do you feel like there's enough to go on to play them?

[(Anonymous)]

if it's in a game, they usually have a rule if it's 'too early', so it might be 2 weeks/a month post release to allow for people to avoid spoilers if they're into it. if it's on psls and memes, then frankly, it doesn't matter. i've seen people pick up characters from trailers a few months to a year before the ip is released.

if it's a spoilery character, just make sure to warn for spoilers. outside of that, no one should give a crap, and if they do, just avoid them.

Hey anons.

I've made the plunge and switched to Firefox, does anyone know of a DWtools replacement? Not bothered about the icon bits but the loss of buttons to do my bracket and text HTML is getting to me.

[(Anonymous)]

there's a link to a version of dwtools that should work with the current version of firefox in this plurk: https://www.plurk.com/p/mysrl2

i'm using it and it seems fine except for batch icon uploads, which doesn't work for some reason. that's the only thing i use chrome for these days.
