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.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-17 12:54 am (UTC)(link)How much torture can the soul endure before it dies?
Death as it turns out is easy to solve with the right advancements in technology. However, the soul tends to be a bit trickier. Once outside of the body, no one has been able to recapture it. The energy, whatever it may be, dissipates into nothing and simply seems to disappear. While they cannot capture it, they have discovered how to keep it contained indefinitely within the body. As such, should the body become so injured as to result in death, it may be repaired, and the person will awaken as if nothing had happened.
The question then becomes… how much torture can the soul endure before it dies?
Welcome to:
SHRED
SOUL HEALTH
RESEARCH & EXTERMINATION DIVISION
a research group dedicated to seeing if a soul, through enough trauma, can die a final, irreversible death.
What this means will be explored more in-game, but out of game players can expect a setting that shifts roughly from month to month. One month, characters may have to survive in a setting with very little food and water. The next, perhaps mysterious creatures begin coming out of the forest at night with a taste for blood. Other times, your characters could be whisked away to the mysterious lab itself, where the real nightmares truly begin.

Re: GAME IDEAS
i have some stuff put up here such as the premise, plot, rules, and the start of an faq. it's in the process of being proofread and coded. and some pages are still big WIPs. please excuse the dust.
but any feedback and questions to help me flesh out everything would be very appreciated! also if anyone catches any grammar or spelling errors in the content that is up, please dm it to me and i'll get it fixed up.
Re: GAME IDEAS
(Anonymous) 2025-07-18 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)this is just one opinion. run what you want to run, of course! i think current dwrp is extremely oversaturated with horror right now, but better to have another one with a passionate mod than a non-horror game with an uninvested mod.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-19 07:10 pm (UTC)(link)Echoing to the other anon, there has been a lot of horror games as of late and even if the ramp up with it is slow I think it really needs to be road mapped out so people know by x month things will be more geared to y.
Looking through the FAQ, is there a reason for the app cycle being 6-8 weeks? With EMP and other advertisements running monthly you'll run into the issue of it not lining up / if someone gets interested but now they missed apps and have to wait two months. I think with the nature of the game you can get away with monthly apps or even rolling apps. After all random new characters show up all the time on sitcoms and t.v shows.
Also normally with themed games even if there is a canon character that would have gone through what the game is based on there wouldn't be a complete memory wipe. It sorta hinders players if they want to app those characters or anything related to it. If you're going to have that then just say you can't play x character instead of a player now having to pick and choose what IC bits they want to use. Which conflicts with the head canon role on the FAQ.

(Anonymous) 2025-07-21 08:44 pm (UTC)(link)what do you guys think of making this a "soft" game mechanic, something added for flavor that might be used in special circumstances? ex: everyone who is accepted in the august app round is assigned to team banana. every month a team is rng'd for something special to happen, like being affected by a status ailment for a week, or tasked with accomplishing a simple quest together. or if the game is mission-based, every so often these teams will be assigned work together on part of the mission.
there's always the fact that people will drop and the team will lose members, but smaller teams could maybe be combined with larger ones for some events as numbers dwindle.
do you think it'd be workable?
