Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for fictional character 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.
Do not solicit money, Dreamwidth points, or other currency unless you are offering a good or service in return.
Discussion of or soliciting RP for celebrities or other non-fictionalized versions of real people is not allowed.

PB SUGGESTIONS

Re: PB SUGGESTIONS

[(Anonymous)]

i need a late teens male (early-mid twenties will also do), very muscular, white, with either a shaved head or very short buzzcut. preferably gives off the vibe of "i'm gonna fuck you up" tough-going-on-criminal guy, though bonus points if he also has softer expressions.

would be nice with an already made set, but with good screencaps, i could make my own.

characters with an accent

[(Anonymous)]

thinking about picking up a character who has a strong accent that's kind of a staple of their character. but i'm a little worried that writing out said accent, even if i keep it to a minimum, would get real annoying real fast.

thoughts?

RECOMMEND A CANON/CHARACTER

[socksuke_uchiha]

Anime with older characters?

[(Anonymous)]

I've never been a huge weeb, but I grew up liking a bunch of pretty formative anime, but as I've gotten older I find myself having less and less interest in new anime because many of the popular shows are all about teenagers and I'm really not interested. I still want to watch anime though, and I'm sure there are things out there but that's why I'm here.

Unfortunately, asking elsewhere has often devolved into people trying to convince me the teens are interesting because they go to war/do crime/live on the streets, but that still usually involves a different story arc than you would tell about an older character.

So, my question is, can anyone recommend any anime with more of a focus on adult characters? I'm open to most genres including fantasy, mecha, and horror, but don't really have an interest in slice of life or pure romance. I don't need it to feel good, I just want decent writing with interesting characters. I enjoy fucked up people and war criminals!

GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

[socksuke_uchiha]

Re: GENERAL DWRP QUESTIONS

[(Anonymous)]

Do you ever get to the point where none of the characters on Bakerstreet really jump out at you? Which obviously isn’t anyone else’s fault, just me and not knowing who to try threading with. Usually scrolling through the front page’s posts I’ll get a handful of characters who look interesting and I’d like to tag, but I haven’t felt that for months now.

To cast a wider net I’ve tried EMP and ads here but threads usually peter out, if they get any hits at all.

(frozen comment) MOD ANNOUNCEMENT - PLEASE READ

[socksuke_uchiha]

To new anons who have come here from Insanejournal, welcome! This comment is a reminder to please read our rules and to serve as an explanation of some of our conventions. rpanons is for discussion of Dreamwidth-based fictional character roleplaying only; players in our particular RP sphere do not play celebrities or (non-fictionalized) real people, and as of this post, we do not allow ads for games or individual PSLs/lines seeking such.

anonnnies seems to be a hub for current and former Insanejournal celeb RP anons here, and fail_fandomanon is a general anon fandom discussion community that has regular threads about RPF, though we cannot personally vouch for the content of either community. If there are any other such communities springing up, we welcome links to them so we can direct anons to where they'd like to go.

If you do play fictional characters and are interested in finding out about the culture here, our General DWRP Questions thread is a great place to start. We also have multiple threads linked at the top of the post you may comment to if you're seeking to join a game or want to offer your characters for one-on-one PSLs/lines. enablemeplz is a meme that goes up on the second Saturday of every month which serves the same purpose, but reaches a much wider audience.

One thing to note is that we have long valued the IC/OOC divide- that is, we recognize that we are not our characters, and that roleplaying something does not mean the player endorses such in real life. Any attempts to start wank along these lines will be frozen or deleted as appropriate.

If you have any questions, concerns or want to report rule-breaking threads/comments, you may comment to this post or PM any of the 3 mods- rpanonmod, rpanonyoda or socksuke_uchiha.

RP JOYS

[(Anonymous)]

Re: RP JOYS

[(Anonymous)]

my character has had a lowkey crush on another character in their game for a few weeks now, but i never mentioned it to the other player because they didn't give off any indications that they were looking for shipping so i figured it was just going to be a one-sided thing on my character's part. well, they tagged my character with some metatext indicating their character thought mine was cute, so i worked up the nerve to ask them if they were interested in a ship and the answer was yes!

i'm so excited for our characters to be adorably in love!

Re: LETTERS YOU'LL NEVER SEND

Every time we chat I have to reassure you that you're a great writer and your character is good. You're always whining about how bad your rp is. For months I tried encouraging you, but now I see you aren't struggling with confidence. You just need people fawning over you or something.

Our threads aren't worth all the buttpats you're asking for. Good luck.

Modding and DWRP

[(Anonymous)]

Since there's been a few dramatic examples of mod burnout recently, I'm wondering about ways that DWRP could pare down what's needed from mods in a way that makes it easier for people to start a game, and keep one going. Not that you can ever completely eliminate flaking or burnout, but it feels like games get into a death spiral of because the mods can't really be flexible without there being an outsized impact on players, with things like TDMs going up or events starting.

What things have current/former mods found the most difficult to maintain and wish could change? For players, what are some modding conventions of DW games that you think could be changed without losing things you like about DWRP?

A small starting example: I think the thing of mods having to edit their reserve/app pages to say Open/Closed is a nice thing to do, but it's not really useful when the schedule for those things opening is usually posted on both pages.

A broader example: how important is it to you that game events happen on a regular schedule, like going up on the 1st of the month?

Re: Modding and DWRP

[(Anonymous)]

in my experience, the biggest problems with modding aren't related to workload but to the bad attitudes of a handful of players and the amount of childish drama that mods are required to deal with. sadly i don't think this is something that anyone can change.

Games settings you want to see

[(Anonymous)]

Re: Games settings you want to see

[(Anonymous)]

- Byzantine empire setting either played straight or made into either a 1920s jazz age or sci-fi setting with the Byzantine aesthetics. Could be fun to use the chariot racing factions in some way too.

- Vampires of the Caribbean. Not sure how it'd work, but it could be a fun change of pace.

- Something based on the rpg Our Brilliant Ruin, which takes Edwardian society as it falls apart due to Ruin - corroding starlight that destroys all it touches
