The sisterhood of the traveling flake

Rundown: [community profile] 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.

hahaha maybe; 12's temper goes off faster than say, rise's. at least in my opinion. now i have an idea for another account name too from thinking about it

since i have a captive player of your game to chat up; i was looking at the tmd that was linked. i'm very much not used to games anymore and had a question. the numbered system that was shown in the tmd are various prompts for the post? i saw a lot of different replies to say, yourself and others there. it seemed simple enough but some of the threads got really long and closed off so it was like hmmm better ask

Yeah the numbers correlates to the prompts in the main TDM post. I do it because it's a nice quick way to go "hey this goes with the prompt about training" (dumb example, but you know) before digging into what each person has written.

So yep, that simple. I like it cause then if I'm only feeling like hitting up certain prompts with people I could just ctrl+f the number of the prompts that interest me. I hope that I explained it well enough, I'm mobile posting rn so apologies for any errors.

that's actually a really nice feature to give people the options of playing and help give a good starter. i haven't seen that done much before.

and it'd be totally okay to like... make a post there despite not being in the game or wait until the next one? i'm not familiar with TDMs as i used to play in private games so we didn't have these things.

I'd say it's okay, I can't speak for how much engagement you'd get? (if you I would link it on the game discord though! And I would tag you.) The next one won't be until the evening of the June 30th in North American timezones (as the game runs on GMT) so I guess it depends on if you feel like you can wait or not?

oh waiting might be a good idea. it'll give me some time to make the account and get things set up too, since i'd need some icons as well. and it'll make me decide which version since right now i am doing research.

but that's the point of tmd's yes? testing out a setting to see if it's fun before apping?

[personal profile] soft_shelled 2025-06-02 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, testing the character in the setting to see if they/you gel with it. Also good idea for waiting, especially if you're unsure on which/need to canon review/anything else.

Also icons, at least for Rise, there are some over here.

Ooooh nooooo. (Both series are on PlutoTV wink wink. Sadly the Rise movie is still in Netflix hell tho.)

Heheh, glad help. The Leo player at Syn is actually the more prolific Rise icon maker than I, I just made too many Donnie icons.

hello friend! i was looking through the game again and had a question regarding it and the concept of the fighting kaiju. the mods had a post regarding fighting the recent monster and people attacked it based off of rng.

but one thing that i saw a few times was that they mentioned corruption? or a sickness?

is that a result of fighting/in game mechanic to drive new interactions? i was having difficulty finding a thread somewhere of the result of it.

sorry for asking so many questions tysm for your input

No problem!

It's a rift effect, which is normally just sickness from exposure to the rifts the kaiju cone from/create. In the case of the current event the effect is one with a tie in to Eresh and her canon. The corruption makes the character more violent towards humanity/become an enemy of humanity and is basically what's going on with Eresh and the other PCs that went missing. The sickness/sumerian flu is what has hit the LILITH NPCs and is, as it says, an illness. Not every kaiju event has had special rift effects like this one.

Normally it's just the regular rift effects, ie: headaches, irritably etc. And you can either tell the mods you don't want a rift effect, RNG it so the mods decide or player's choice of what effect to pick.

ohhhhh okay! i saw that there were different ones going on and wasn't sure if it was a constant thing or something that built up over time. that's really interesting and gives people options for cr after the event and whatnot.

i like that a lot; gives options which is totally helpful if a player is stuck with an idea after an event or something

ty for putting up with all my questions btw

also i've been working on icons all day jsyk

Again no problem, I'm glad I can help out! Esp since I've only been in Syn since November so I don't know every little detail of stuff, so I'm just going off what I have seen/have had explained to me as well.

And oooh icons.

Re: op again

(Anonymous) 2025-06-08 11:34 pm (UTC)(link)
i'm glad i can ask at least because i am very much not in rp scenes anymore nor did public games so there's a lot i could learn

it's really nice knowing that people will answer questions

Folks in Syn are pretty great about stuff. So, in my biased opinion, it's not a bad place to get your feet wet in the wider DWRP sphere.

this is really encouraging though, especially since i've been out of rp circles for so long :)
