February EMP Meme

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.

➤ Important note: IP logging has turned on due to multiple instances past and present of problem players trying to return to the dwrp community via emp after being banned other places, so I'll be IP logging from now on, and will compare notes with the rpa and wg mods (as well as game mods) where appropriate if it seems like someone that has been mass banned. 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.

Surely you've noticed it. Strange distortions plaguing your world. Weather that's out of season. Events that border on the inexplicable. Ominous signs that lead to a rising, uncomfortable feeling, that your world is somehow in danger.

That danger is very real.

In a few days time, the confirmation comes. A message appears, in a window like on a computer screen come to life. It asks you a simple question: "Do you want to save your world: YES/NO?"

You could answer no, and face this danger alone. But something compels you to say yes, as a voice suddenly cries out that it's waiting for you. Resolute, you take your hand, and press it against the "screen" to answer "Yes".

And that's when the gate opens, pulling you in and beginning the adventure of a lifetime. You fall through a void that gives way to masses of 1's and 0's, before a world around you finally begins to take shape.

You find yourself with two beings; one, a small machine with a glass dome for his head, and the other a sort of plant dragon with a flower for a face. Together, they explain to you that you've been brought to the Digital World, and that you've been called on to become a Digimon Tamer.

They introduce you to other creatures like them, called "Digimon", including one that is to be your partner. Your adventure with a Digimon henceforth begins. You are now part... of Tamer Union.

----

Tamer Union is a panfandom roleplaying game, where your character embarks on a new adventure in the Digital World alongside your Digimon Partner. Trials, tribulations, danger, and new friendships await you on this journey to another world!

A soul plucked from a distant world, you are reborn in crystal. Awakening from your chrysalis in the heart of one of eleven ancient shrines, you are greeted by the grim visage of a world that has been tormented by a being known as the Regent for millennia. You are an Aion, they say: a creature capable of godlike feats if allowed the time to grow. The locals of this realm fear what your presence means; time and time again, Aions have arrived, and war and suffering has followed in their wake. After all, you are one of the few beings from the scattered multiverse capable of manipulating the Pleroma and Kenoma, twin forces of hope and despair, creation and destruction. You are what the Regent needs, whether you like it or not.

Aion Teleos is a plot heavy faction game inspired by gnostic lore and themes of despair, hope, corruption, and redemption. Characters are reborn as Aions in the land of Horos, a realm that's been long under the yoke of a tyrannical dark lord known as the Regent. They have two options: to serve its whims in exchange for power and comfort, or to flee into this downtrodden world and fight back as part of the resistance. Whichever they choose, the fate of the entire multiverse may be at stake.

The Return Journey is a sci-fi prison game focused on redemption arcs and character development. Characters are brought aboard the SFS Peregrine by the Navarch, as either inmates or wardens. Inmates are taken in as prisoners so that they can be reformed and returned to their worlds, to make choices that will change their futures for the better. Wardens come to the ship by choice and assist in the moral guidance, discipline, and eventual reform of inmates, in exchange for payment in the form of a miracle called a "windfall". On their journey, passengers visit ports, experience strange phenomena onboard, and embark on missions while seeking change in the multiverse.

We feature rolling apps, simple AC with a bonus system, characters 16+, both mod and player directed events, and a villain-friendly environment.

YOUKAI MEET YAKUZA

The spiritual realm is not as orderly a place as one might imagine, particularly within the Land of the Dead. Over time immemorial, the authority of the Enma has faded. His work to keep order within his realm has overextended him and this has allowed the hellbound Youkai to form their own factions and stake out their own claims.

Nowhere is this more evident than within the central hub: Jigoku-cho.

Originally created as a sort of trading ground between the various clans and tribes within the spiritual realm, it grew and grew into a marvelous city of grand pleasures. Here, while the presence of the Enma and of his sense of order is not entirely absent, one is able to find any number of vices to indulge themselves in. Jigoku-cho became the playground of the underworld and, of course, that created a tempting prospect for the powers within.

But more than the ‘spice of life’ that the city brings, there is also something else that this city can offer. The city built off the tributary of the Sanzu River offers a seemingly limitless supply of souls. From any time, from any universe, dead or alive: souls may find themselves drawn to this realm. Before his influence became too strained, the Enma dealt with all these lost souls directly, assigning them their labors and giving them a clear path to returning to their homes or to resurrection.

That's not the case any longer. The most powerful Youkai factions within Jigoku-cho now contract these Lost Souls to serve their interests, while promising their grandest desires in return. Once this was initially a peace keeping measure and an offer to help share the Enma’s burden, but now it is a coveted resource. More valuable than all the gold in the spiritual realm, it is something that would give any given faction complete control over Jigoku-cho if the balance were to tip in their favor.

And if one controls Jigoku-cho, they control all of the spiritual realm.

GATHER LOST SOULS

Jigoku-cho is a panfandom roleplaying game that takes place in a modern city based in "Hell". It is a combination of Japanese fantasy and mythology, and modern crime drama. Yakuza meets Youkai!

Characters brought are "Lost Souls", regardless of whether they’ve actually died or not. They are then assigned to one of four factions. Each faction serves a different role within the world. The game’s story and plot will focus around the goals of these factions and how the friction between them will shape this world. The ultimate goal of these “Lost Souls” is to work their way into earning their ticket home, to resurrection, or even another desire their heart desperately wants.

Welcome to Hell, kids.

For a long time, we were at war with the Jackals. Now, finally, we've driven them off, and we're left with this: A year of relative peace. One quiet year, with which to build our community up and learn again how to work together. Come winter, the Frost Shepherds will arrive and we might not survive the encounter. This is when our time will end. But we don't know about that yet. What we know is that right now, in this moment, there is an opportunity to build something.

You awake with a crash, as the icy pillar imprisoning you collapsing into shards around your feet. Ahead is the opening of a cave, filled with warmth and sunlight. Behind, bitter cold and many more pillars. Outside of the cave there's a stone head, smiling contentedly, as well as a Jeep, half-buried in the ground. A little further beyond is a cleared landscape, what will be home for the foreseeable future.

The Quiet Year is a DWRP game loosely based on the tabletop game of the same name. It's planned to run for four years, give or take a few months. One year is roughly the length of each season, starting in Spring, moving on to Summer, then Fall, and ending in Winter, when the Frost Shepherds will come to try to wipe out what you, the players, have managed to create.

Serendipity is a panfandom slice-of-life game with a focus on CR and character development, with plenty of opportunities for things to do. In exchange for the granting of their dearest wish, characters are asked to populate a nearly-empty world and create an infrastructure for a populace that is still sleeping in stasis under the Ivory Castle. This world is run by a council formed of the heads of four Houses, each with its own interests and investments. Every second month, characters are invited to vote for initiatives presented by each house that will alter the landscape of the world itself.

Characters will have the opportunity to learn magic, share dreams and memories, and participate in events that will drive and encourage development and exploration of both CR and characters themselves. There will also be missions focused on gathering resources, world building, and safety of the population.

Putting out a feeler to gauge interest in a post HBP Harry Potter AU game set a few years after Voldemort is killed. The game is based off a game called Done and Dusted which was run on Greatest Journal in 2006-2007. The idea is that the Battle of Hogwarts still happened, Voldemort still was killed, but we want to be able to say all of the unnecessary character deaths from book 7 didn’t have to happen! We also welcome original characters, but prefer there is some tie to canon (mention of a name in the books, distant relation, etc).

We’re going to be very vague as far as what happened in Harry’s 7th year other than that there was a final attack on Hogwarts in Harry’s seventh year and he did kill Voldemort. But we leave it in shades of gray so that you can develop your character through this time as you see fit!

The game is based on the premise of a mental institution dressed up as a “retreat” for patients to come and deal with problems caused by the war. People are coming to terms with their emotions, and coming to terms with former friends and enemies. Call it an emotional rollercoaster of character development. Patients at the retreat will either willingly admit themselves (good guys), be committed, or be incentivized to get time knocked off their sentence if they spend a term at the institution (hello, Death Eaters!). They will be required to attend weekly therapy sessions with the on-premise counselors while being kept an eye on under the careful eye (and hidden cameras!) of the director of the facility and the Aurors she has employed to keep things in order.

Patients will be restricted from using magic in the form of casting spells while at the retreat, but creatures such as Werewolves will still undergo the magical changes that their condition demands they do (and yes, magical creatures are welcome!). Patients will also find that their emotions are heightened while on retreat grounds, feeling things much more intensely than they would normally.

We’re going to host the game in a journal forum setting, either in InsaneJournal or Dreamwidth. The patients will be given journals that have been charmed so that they can communicate with other patients and staff through them (wizarding social media!). In game days will span over the course of a few to several real life days, depending on if there are events happening in game and how much time we feel an in game day needs. There will be official day changes posted in game so everyone knows what day we’re on, and what’s going on.

If we can get interest from a few people we’re going to move forward in creating the platform and get moving! We already have the plot foundations worked out and it won’t take too long to get up and going if we are able to pique some interest. Please either comment here, private message me here, DM me on Discord (Schubaccah#6690), or email at doneanddustedmods@gmail.com .

*Done and Dusted is a darker-themed game that will have elements of trauma (mental and physical) and other adult themes. We will use cuts and tags to properly ensure content warning but we want to be up front about the existence of mature themes that will be present. Having said that, this is not a smut-based RP community. While we are sex-friendly, we don’t want this turning into a porno. Plot is always first!

***Please note that our want to play in the HP sandbox does not, in any shape or form, condone JKR's transphobia or TERFism. Her beliefs are harmful and just plain nasty toward people who just want to live their lives, and contradictory to the lessons many people around the world gained from the series itself.

If you'd like to help out with the issues transgender people are fighting against today, particularly in the state of Texas, here are two articles with information on what's happening and places you can donate toward.
