January EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the Second Saturday of every month FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / fetish you want for your game under the correct game header. This meme is primarily going to be focused on DWRP games but IJ and LJ games are allowed. ➤ PLEASE NOTE A RULE CHANGE HERE. ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no oversized banners (they must be 250px in height or less), no blinking text, no obnoxious table html that doesn't collapse easily, no sparklies, no large pictures). Use all the colors you like, but please remember 3 "big" tags is the limit and that's only for headers or title text rather than for all the text in an ad. FOR GAME QUESTIONS: ➤ RPers interested in a game can create a header for the game and ask questions about that game that aren't easy to find on faqs, such as the actual pace vs. what's listed/what kind of plots are run/if the game leans more towards plotty or slice of life/if a game leans more towards network or logs, etc. Both anon questions and anon answers are welcome in this section just like in the rest of the meme. ➤ This thread is not for speaking about wank or drama in a game. There are anoncomms that exist for that. This thread is specifically for general questions about a game that rpers want to get perspective on from players already in the game. Answers can be slightly negative (such as saying app response is slow or that the plots are repetitive or similar things) but this should at least be worded politely. Unnecessary vitriol, any mention of personal drama or wank, or mod teams/individual mods/players being singled out, will be either frozen or screened (based on what seems right based on the content). FOR CHARACTER ADS: ➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL ads, there is a separate subthread but for character ads for games, post directly to the meme post. Others will comment to you with the games/casts they want you to join. ➤ There is a "Find a Castmate" section, where you can talk about a cast you play in at a game, and try to lure people to join it. Not all games post to the meme or have a "wanted" section, so players that want to tempt people to their cast on their own can use this section for it. Please format this the same as the PSL section, where you post your character's canons in your subject. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find a Castmate" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. When listing who's currently in a cast, please do this in sentence form (with commas) rather than in list form. ➤ There is a "Find Crosscanon" section, where you can talk about a character you play and and desired crosscanon for that character. Please make sure this is not too generalized a search, because just wanting general crosscanon can be accomplished with the other sections of the meme. This is for specific characters or character types you're looking for. In the subject, please list the "Looking for [canon you're looking for]" rather than your character's canon. If looking for a character type, list the character type in as few words as possible. Do not make the subject huge or I'll screen your comment. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Find Crosscanon" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. This section is only for game crosscanon as in the psl section people can list their preferences. ➤ Examples of crosscanon you can search for: You play The Flash from DC Comics and your dream CR is fellow speedster Quicksilver from Marvel. Or you might play a witch and want cr with other witches in general. Or maybe you play a good character messed up by evil parents and want to play against a villain character you know has evil parents, because you know it'd lead to some interesting negative CR. ➤ ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding, with the same rules as the Game Ads Section above. ➤ If you're recommending a game to someone, try to match your suggestion to their needs. It's okay if part of your game rec is copy-pasted (such as what the game's about), but at least some part of the rec must be personalized to their ad. Try not to recommend the same game to every single ad, either. Ad spam that isn't individualized in some way will also be frozen or screened. Keep in mind this needs to be more specific than "this game has easy AC like you're asking for but meets none of your other requirements." Make sure you're advertising games that might click with that specific character, where a few elements fit what they're looking for. You should be thinking about the story reasons of how the character might click with the game. IN GENERAL: ➤ Don't be a dick. This isn't one of the anoncomms, so any snide comments or unnecessary commentary on the RP plans of others will be frozen or screened. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

I will not pay attention to IPs otherwise. I don't care what people like playing or who's who. So please feel comfortable to keep doing your thing, anon or otherwise. The knowledge will only be used for really egregious problem cases.

Comments

original character, cosmic horror or western

[soler]

offering
frances ong, an investigator of modern paranormal/lovecraftian incidents or
this character again, but in a western AU inspired by red dead/westworld/any of those vibes.

seeking
anyone who wants to plot and play in either space! frank is heavily inspired/influenced by the call of cthulthu/delta green tabletop games and i'd love to see either other investigators or normal people who are being dragged into the weird shit going on that they don't understand yet. for western i'm up for just about anything, just itching to play in that space. i prefer other original characters over canons, but i won't say no to a fun idea!

[diffoccultly]

i have eleanor here who's based off the librarian arkham horror board games, so similar-ish vein of came as call of cthulhu. i can offer her up or i can easily pull something together for call of cthulhu if you'd prefer.

[soler]

ooh, what a good pull! i've really only played around in modern stuff with frank as far as investigator stuff goes, but i could be swayed towards a 1920s-ish setting if that's where you're more interested in playing!

[pests]

ok this is going to sound weird but i recently had a dream that's sorta like your western horror idea. it's like, a detective walks into a cabin whose occupants have just been massacred. it wasn't an indian attack, it wasn't a blood feud. she's not even sure it was a human attack. something's... off. she can feel a darkness around her.

but yeah, i'd love to play in the western horror world! i'd most likely make an oc since none of the canon characters i play would really translate well

[soler]

i love this SO MUCH. weird west outlaws & cosmic horror is my absolute jam and i'd love to figure out something with you! especially ocs, i love new ocs. or old ocs. or just ocs in general, i'm weak.

[pests]

cooooool. i haven't made an oc in years and i love spaghetti westerns so this will be fun!!

also call of cthulu was on sale for six bucks so i bought it. idk if it'll be relevant to this universe but i'll play it anyway to get somewhat of an idea of who frank is and her world. and it does look p interesting as well :')

[soler]

ayyy nice!! the video game or the tabletop? it's the correct answer in either direction and the vibes are excellent in both.

have you played any red deads at all?

[pests]

i haven't, actually! idk why not lol

but i have watched the dollars trilogy and read some of the spin-off books, and seen several other spaghetti westerns. so i think i'm not coming into this completely blind lol

[soler]

red deads are great if you love western stuff, even got hints of weird west. not as much as i'd like, but beggars and choosers and all that.

sorry for the wait! covid finally caught up to me and my brain has been extra mush so i'll come back in a couple days when i've slept can string thoughts together into something more reasonable.

[pests]

right. we'll make our own weird west. with blackjack! and hookers lmao

omg DUDE i hope you're feeling ok!!! take your time coming back. i'll be here. i'm almost finished with call of cthulu and i'm still watching spaghetti westerns and sketching out an original character so i'm still in the mood for this

just shoot me a pm when you're ready so i can fill you in on what i've been up to and my questions. or we can share socials and communicate there idc it's up to you

[soler]

OKAY HELLO i did not intend to be indisposed as long as i was but Life is Life apparently. i'm on my way to sleep but tomorrow i'm going to send you a proper message about this if you're still into it! feel free to yell at me if i don't.
