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.

This does sound great and I love games with inherent, regular events cooked in. Especially if they're packed with variety, which is my absolute jam.

I think you'd have to put a lot of thought into the "together" part because restricting how characters can interact in downtime too much is a drag, but too much freedom would defeat the point.

the book mentions several types of game but the only one shown in detail is appearing on an alien cruise ship and having a music contest, so there's a huge amount of flexibility in what "game" means and where it can be set. Father blips Toomin there a moment before it starts and back home pretty much as soon as the audience reaction ends, but for a DWRP there'd be chance to poke around.

since Father is not creative, the settings are ultimately on recreations of the planet it's spanning (like, the cruise ship is in its ocean, a plaza where chess boards are set up is floating above it, islands) and going out of bounds means being able to get a bit of the lay of the land, such as it is. important things are left out but Father is not creative, so instead, say, a square of the beach is copy-pasted repeatedly to cover stuff on an island.

yeah having to fine tune "together" would be important. there'd be some alone time and games vs a Father avatar (it always wins, even if that means cheating) but that'd mostly be handwaved. maybe it's possible to stay in the game space for some time after the game ends, but soon the NPCs start fading out, light starts dimming, etc. probably there'd be a network.

Father might enable some interaction because it enjoys studying conflict but what its idea of "conflict" is might be obtuse. it might also sometimes just have two characters fight or compete in a fair way but what "fair" is is also obtuse.
