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.

Anyone know what's the CSS/HTML header for the navigation's Archive, Reading and Memories links? If I simply delete what they're called through Customize Your Theme > Text > Navigation, it leaves an obvious space in the layout's navigation. I want to hide it completely so only Entries, Profile and Tags shows up.

was thinking about games like Save the Earth (i know, i know) and was hoping there was a game like that out there, where characters are sort-of AU'ed into a setting via memloss and then regain memories of their canon selves.

GAME IDEAS

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: GAME IDEAS

[(Anonymous)]

a game based on this Mind Mine concept. shades of Mystery Flesh Pit. (one based around MFP would also be cool)
https://www.tumblr.com/markerslinger/165940395718/the-full-mind-mine-adventure-seed-is-up-you-guys

people are being sent down into the precarious labyrinthine brain of a vast buried monster. they are unable to harm it for Reasons but they can manipulate the fatty folds of tissue a bit. it is dryer and firmer than exploring a "real" giant brain but there's definitely Organic Stuff happening in there. and having reached a deeper layer, sometimes they find a player character! just curled up in the dark, dreaming about being buried alive with a headache.

the pcs are manifestations of the creature's dreams. this doesn't mean they/their canons are only a dream (but like if you wanted to play it for some existential stuff you could) so much as it is so powerful and otherworldly that its dreams reach across universes. dropping or hiatusing feels like waking from a dream.

the local surface civilization is pseudoroman. perceiving the creature as a cthonic god, having festivals that they hope will appease it, and having an empire that is very invested in the creature either not waking up or being controlled if it does wake up, but has limited means compared to modern or futuristic society. unfortunately for them they can't seem to harm it. the entry orifice (wound?) has been here for as long as anyone's been able to check. its fluids permeate the ground, plants grow here that don't grow anywhere else, strange moods take people, hate wisps and monsters sometimes come out of the hole, there's an aqueduct for regular water but if/when tremors break it, well (well).

the main thing people are doing is trying to remove the hateful manifestations and plant more benevolent seeds harvested from their own memories. there's an ongoing debate about if the hate wisps colonized it from the outside, or it's the source of them. there are some dicey ethics about trying to literally change its mind but they've got a lot at stake. lots of the people in 'town' are not here voluntarily but by the will of the empire and may not all be complying in good faith.

pcs would be better able to affect the creature and could kill it eventually, but is that a good idea? they might also be able to effectively keep it from waking indefinitely and leave the surface people to just guard the opening. otherwise, the creature is going to wake. it stirs and the ground shakes and some of these eyeball palms rise up from the ground, watching vaguely. this game doesn't run indefinitely.

there's space for memory share elements starting with donating good memories to be planted(characters don't forget them dw) though 'good' has a lot of flex in it, it doesn't have to be just happy peaceful stuff. those are voluntary, there may be involuntary ones that are worse. there would also be space for weirdness and creative events.

CHARACTER ADVICE

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: CHARACTER ADVICE

[(Anonymous)]

anons who play from comics (at least marvel/dc), how do you manage the huge amount of canon content to keep track of?

there's a character i've been playing in PSLs for a while, and i'm interested in joining a game or something more public than museboxes at some point, but i haven't read every single comic with them in it yet since there's thousands. i'm worried about not knowing the relationships between certain characters or completely forgetting something from one obscure issue somewhere.

i usually play from video games, and my PSL partner has read the same issues as me, so i haven't run into this before. i want to make sure i get the dynamics right before finding other players who i don't know as well.

KINKS YOU WANT TO PLAY

[socksuke_uchiha]

m/m hypnosis/mind control

[kneesweak]

some general scenarios! open to OCs, and most of my canon characters are from drawn mediums. in all cases I'd be down for playing A or B - hit me up here if interested

1) Orientation play. A is popular and he has a girlfriend he's crazy about. B is unremarkable, resentful, and has come into possession of some bullshit mind control device he can use to steal A away. Alternatively A's a total horndog, and B's the closeted gay guy who decides to "convince" him that he's secretly into guys.

2) Reversals. Maybe A's a hero destined to save the world being seduced by a siren and spending the rest of his life protecting them. Or a noble being hypnotized into thinking some lovable rogue is far more deserving to rule than he is. Or just a straight-As student suddenly realizing doing the class clown's homework is a much bigger priority than taking care of his own.

3) A and B are best friends, only A's been distant as of late and B's starting to get concerned. Finally one day A asks to meet with B, and he's all too happy to accept. Thing is, A was hypnotized by a third party, and now they want A to help bring B into to the fold. Heavy on the betrayal angle, with A being convinced what he's doing to B is for the best and exploiting their friendship.

their conversation during the soirée had me going "i want them to aggressively make out and/or have hatesex" for the rest of the game, ok. journal is fresh and i've yet to write a single tag so please bear with me as i find my footing with his voice. i tend to be a fairly slow tagger but i will happily backtag until next year as long as there's still interest.

pm this journal if you're interested.

GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

[socksuke_uchiha]

Permissions posts questions

[(Anonymous)]

I've been away from dwrp for a while now and considering jumping back into memes. I was looking at the previous rpanons post and saw people saying that they like when characters posted to memes have a permissions post.

What sort of things go on a permissions post? Any other information and advice about permissions posts would be great as well.

Thank you so much!

RP WOES

Re: RP WOES

[(Anonymous)]

hewwoe

[(Anonymous)]

just returning to dwrp after a break and wow, it's seems so stagnate. has it just continued to get emptier and more dead as time goes on? it's sad.

[(Anonymous)]

unsure. there's less openly public play & openly public games, but that's because everyone's gained more of a preference for psls or private game groups now, so it's difficult to say if we've reduced or just gotten less easily visible. we're still getting new people pretty frequent.

rpa is not representative of dwrp numbers; most ppl don't care about anons these days. bakerstreet isn't either, and even there, plenty of people still get rp on just memes. the comm just gets like 8+ meme posts per day, which dilutes the numbers quite a bit, so you'll have to hop back a page or two to see threads properly grown out on the more active non-texting memes

anyway if you wanna play you'll likely still be able to find play by being proactive--emp is still a good bet, for example, if you remember that comm. but the public rp scene isn't exploding like it was five or ten years ago, no

LETTERS YOU'LL NEVER SEND

[(Anonymous)]

[(Anonymous)]

you were wonderful to rp with and i am sad we'll never have another thread. i think the ephemeral nature of the meeting is what made it so interesting. in any case, i hope you're doing well.

(frozen comment)

[(Anonymous)]

Hi. I've been wanting to dip my toe into dwrp. Well, to tell the truth, I always wanted to, but it didn't panned out, and I have no one to blame but myself.

To make a long story, I tried to join a rp by playing with a problematic character(Which was a bad move in retrospect), and the mods denied my application and peacefully asked me if I had another character I wanted to play. I, for a lack of a better word, had a temper tantrum, and basically made a idiot of myself, deleted everything and just... disappeared for years.

Recently, I've been wrestling with the idea of trying again, and to be honest, I've been scared of doing so. It sounds silly I know, but I just don't want to make those same mistakes in the past.

Is there any tips or suggestions I should know before trying to start again?

Stick to bakerstreet and play on memes until you get a better understanding of the norms and culture
