March 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!

Genshin Impact @ Jikan!

[brilliantdiamond]

[game]: jikan_rpg
[fandom]: Genshin Impact
[game's current cast]: Aether, Itto, Diluc, Gorou, Kazuha, Kaeya, Ei, Scaramouche, Thoma, Childe, Vennessa, Venti, Xiao, and Zhongli! We're a big cast!
[who I play]: Aether! I'm also the mod of the game!
[wanted]: Abyss Princess Lumine is who I'd personally love to see! The game has mechanics that would make playing her easier even without knowing her full story yet! Amber or Albedo would also be amazing! Or Teppei. Does anyone play Teppei??
[game info]:
Jikan is a slice of life sex game set in fantasy steampunk Japan, focused on forging bonds with other characters and exploring the setting as new regions are opened up! Characters have been brought to the world of Nippon after becoming trapped in a timeloop in their home world, and need to deal with the side effects caused by the bonding magic used to keep them there.

Jikan is a game designed to be as laid-back and flexible as possible! All bonding mechanics and even smut are optional, AC is only a check-in, and apps are only a simple form. The game is invite-only, but seeing as I'm the mod, I can offer invites to potential castmates!

The Test Drive Meme is up if you'd like an idea of what to expect in the game! If you're interested, send me a message here or hit me up on plurk at randomsnarfle so we can chat!

Looking for The Magnus Archives @ Deer Country

[devilmind]

[game]: deercountry
[who I play]: The Operator / Warframe
[wanted]: Anyone from The Magnus Archives but especially the Archives crew (Jon, Martin, Tim, Sasha, Elias, Basira, Daisy, etc.)
[why]: You know that feel when you're in the wrong place at the wrong time and end up with a ever-watching, ever-listening eldritch eye-god as your patron who's constantly bugging you to catalyze their apocalyptic entry into the mortal plane? The Operator knows that feel. TMA folks know that feel. They should hang :|b (and maybe start a support group)...
[game info]: Deer Country is a horror game with eldritch/Soulsbourne vibes in which characters live among the Pthumerians: alien, god-like creatures who shape the world. It's big on cosmic horror themes and general creepiness, making it a good fit for characters from a horror canon like TMA.

🎀 dreamwidth only.

OFFERING

Edgar Portsnell | The Poe Clan | abbatis
- Edgar here is a centuries old vampiric creature in a body of 14 year old, lingering between adulthood and childhood (it’s complicated). He noms on roses and trolls humans because why not.
For a game:

- slow to medium pace
- back tag & LCW friendly
- I prefer plots over full SoL (though the latter is important too)
- Darker settings are my jam
- no full power nerfing & humanisation (I want to keep him as a vampire!)

Edgar’s physical appearance can make it little difficult to app into games with age gaps.

I’m also tentatively looking a game for Nuriko from Fushigi Yuugi with same preferences but I’m still on the voice-test phase with her.

[worthallthis]

Sounds like you'd fit in well over at Come Sail Away (mod journal is sailmods ). We've got a couple vampires there, and one of them is Claudia from Interview with a Vampire, so age limits are not a thing to worry about. It's a haunted cruise ship, traditional jamjar style, with a kind of... whimsical horror feel to it. The mod (we call them "cruiseparent") is delightful and the players so far are a wonderfully mixed bunch.

[letmewin]

[offering]: Asriel Dreemurr, Aqua, Yoh Asakura
[fandom]: Undertale, Kingdom Hearts, and Shaman King!
[preferences]:- slow to medium pace
- No R-18 only games. Sex friendly is fine as long as it isn't a huge or the main focus.
- No purely SOL games.
- Darker themed games are fine! Horror is my favorite genre.
- Power nerfing is fine, but I'd prefer for games to allow characters to at least keep an extent of their powers.
- Open to memloss, but memory regains are preferred.

[toothpasteboy]

He isn't in a game atm but it might be fun for this dork and asriel to interact.

[killed]

offering;

⚝ midori | your turn to die
⚝ sue miley | your turn to die

seeking;

⚝ dreamwidth only.
⚝ no sex, au or purely sol games.
⚝ preference for plot driven games.
⚝ easy ac (≤20 comments)

[slippingsilence]

Yogen has a pretty healthy YTTD cast and are looking for more folks.

[theindependent]

OFFERING

Trent Crimm | Ted Lasso | theindependent
- Trent is an intrepid, skeptical jerk-with-a-heart-of-gold reporter who's looking for a new direction after a sudden career shift. He is, despite his acerbic writing and veneer of snobbery, almost embarrassingly easy to win over with sunshine and friendliness.

LOOKING FOR

-- Medium-to-fast pace
-- Average AC
-- Not completely relaxed SoL, but not so skewed towards action or horror that a sitcom character with no powers would get eaten alive
-- Character base that skews older/adult rather than young
-- Not opposed to a sex game, if there is one where a guy in his mid-40s would get traction
-- Open to memloss
-- Power nerfing doesn't matter; he doesn't have any

Trent is capable of having great CR with younger characters, but I'm hoping to find a game for him where he can build more relationships with characters closer to his age.

[starkhavenmad]

I've been replaying Dragon Age lately, and it's been making me really want to dig this old character out again after a couple years' hiatus.

OFFERING

Simon Ashlock | Dragon Age (OC) | starkhavenmad
- Simon is a devoutly religious templar who's become fairly disillusioned with the job, and is trying to redeem himself with the Inquisition after his cowardice as a recruit prevented him from speaking up about abuses while serving in Kirkwall. He's a practical, earnest, well-meaning guy with a lot of self-doubt issues.

LOOKING FOR

-- Games that allow canon OCs (I know there are some that allow them as long as they have no ties to canon characters, which is fine for Simon; he's never even met a canon character)
-- Medium-to-fast pace
-- Average AC
-- More plot/action-oriented than SoL
-- Open to memloss with regains
-- Minimal power nerfing preferred, but some is fine
-- Okay with sex games

[higginbottom]

[character offered]: Esther Greenwood

[fandom]: The Bell Jar, because I am nothing if not a literary nerd.

[rp type you'd wanna play in]: I'm looking for a game on the slower side, with a slice-of-life element thrown in. Don't mind the smutty stuff. Would love a game with a lot of vanilla humans, aka less fantastical and more realistic. Also, I like when my obscure muse interacts with other obscure muses, so that would be a plus if they're there, lol.

[preferences]:
-- Ehh, I'm not big on crack plots.
-- I'd really prefer to stay on Dreamwidth.
-- Not a big fan of memory loss.
-- Like I said, smut is okay, but doesn't need to be the focus of the game.
-- Activity checks are cool, but I don't want a super fast-paced game.

[jedied]

penancerp if you don't mind it being set in hell. There's a pretty good mix of horror elements (most of them pretty tame), smutty stuff if you want it, action plots, and people just trying to live their afterlives.

[itsgunnabe_mei]

[character offered]: Meilin "Mei" Lee
[fandom]: Turning Red
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]: okay i've seen this movie twice in 2 days and i love this adorable goofball

since she's a brand new muse i'm not 100% sure what I want, but off the top of my head, friend/found family shenanigans would be nice. And depending at what point I take her from, learning she doesn't have to be a people pleaser to be loved, and to embrace the panda.

because i am 100000% putting her in a game where she gets to be the panda
[preferences]:
- no sex/horror games
- allows her to keep her transformations

[seacub]

So this is a longshot maybe, but you did mention that you're trying out a brand new muse, wanting something with the chance for friendship, found family...

And more importantly, little to no de-power. There's actually two games coming to mind, but rather than a plot-focused AC driven game, I'm gonna offer a check-in based game that really recently opened up. Very low key, but because of what it's focused on, there's an aim to get that community feel- and, given what their rules on powers are, Mei's transformations should absolutely still stick. And on top of that, it leaves you that room to really test the waters with the muse.

Legends is based on the recent Pokemon game, 'Pokemon Legends Arceus'- I'm linking you the Nav page, but hopefully it offers a good place to play around with Mei!

[emptyeyed]

OFFERING:
Manjiro Sano from Tokyo Revengers

Preferences:
- No sex games (sex-friendly games are fine!)
- Must allow characters who are 15 years old
- I'd be happy with any genre except slice-of-life! Horror is great but not necessary. Some kind of plot is preferred, but I could be persuaded otherwise potentially?
- Preferably easy to meet AC
- I'm not looking at Deer Country or Apocalypse How!

[pistolsniper]

[ OFFERING ]

⭐ Yato (Noragami)
⭐ Elizabeth (Bioshock Infinite)
⭐ Windblade (Transformers Cyberverse) (*new muse, still voice testing)

✔️ Simple/low AC requirements and a backtag-friendly playerbase
✔️ Dreamwidth only
✔️ Some plotty elements preferred, not pure SOL
✔️ Castmates not required
✔️ Slight preference for modern, horror or futuristic settings, but not a hard requirement

❌ No full AU/full memloss premises (memloss with regains is okay)

❌ For Mordecai, being able to have Bloodwing in game (allowable pet rules)

⛔ Not interested in: Avalon, The Revival Project, Metaheroes

[goty]

i feel like returnjourney might be a good pick! it's got easy ac, it's pretty small, and has a large focus on character development. scifi setting with an ongoing plot focus! the tdm is pretty active

[adherent]

offering: kazuma | noragami

preferences:
- plot-focused, no sol or sex games please! sex-friendly is fine.
- kazuma has one of those "i'm your second in command and my life revolves around you" relationships in canon, so i'd love a game/setting that's frantic or intense enough to keep him distracted from that!
- friendly to lcws because lbr (':
- no full memloss or power nerfing
- horror is great, but i'm open to anything there

[(Anonymous)]

https://aionmods.dreamwidth.org/5441.html

Game recently opened, the LCWs outnumber those in casts too. Seems plot heavy and deals with corruption like Noragami canon. Might be up your alley?

[naaa]

[character offered]: Nanachi or Faputa
[fandom]: Made in Abyss
[rp you're offering for / rp type you'd wanna play in]:
Medium or fast paced game
[preferences]:
No sex games
No body horror or transformations
castmates, though unlikely, would be nice

[worthallthis]

Okay so maybe have a look at voidtreckermods ? We're a train that flies through the Void and goes in a mission every other month. The other month is a jamjar style event sometimes, and a metaplot style event other times. There's not a ton of horror, but there's definitely adventure, exploration, action, and some SOL elements between missions.

We definitely have some older characters! My own boy here and Yondu from the MCU, some fellow soldier types, a variety of others. We're a good-sized game, and during missions I'd call our page medium to fast, but we work well with slower taggers too (like me sometimes). Player base is very inclusive and friendly.

A bit of a weird ask...

[(Anonymous)]

Hi there! I am currently looking for a sex friendly (but preferably not sex based) game for two players/characters. The characters are non-human but look human, and have triggering content in their backstories, which is making things complicated, however we both try our best to lock posts and content warn and we both have permissions/opt out posts available.

Anything anyone can suggest is greatly appreciated!

[hackeo]

[character offered]: Sombra
[fandom]: Overwatch

[preferences]:
💜 dreamwidth only
💜 fine w/ sex friendly games (but doesn't have to be a sex game)
💜 no SOL-only games (but can include SOL elements)
💜 no au/memory loss games
💜 open to any size game
💜 interested in plot driven games
💜 idk how many other overwatch folks are out there but I would love to play with canonmates if you're out there somewhere!!
💜 otherwise, Sombra is a very tech heavy character (she's a stealth hacker with cybernetic implants & can hack on the go) so she'd fit in well with sci fi or modern settings, but putting her in a fantasy world where she has to cobble her own tech together also sounds funny so I'm not fussy on genre!

I've come and gone from dwrp for many years and the last two...ish years I've been gone, so I don't really know what's up around here these days and just want to play around so if you have any suggestions at all let's chat! I'm also open to PSLing (mostly with canonmates, mostly with Talon folks) so I will likely toss up a looking for PSL thread later too. thanks!!

[unlawful]

hello!!! i know u already tleveled to the duplicity tdm (i'm the reaper who shyly touched u!), but i just want to flutter my lashes and tempt u a little more bc i am OBSESSED w sombra and would love to see her in the game. duplicity isn't plot-heavy, unfortunately, but the events tend to lend rly well to character and cr development, depending on the month. ac is also rly easy, and while the game IS massive, it runs at a manageable pace and imo isn't too overwhelming. v friendly atmosphere, too!

either way, even if u pass/decide on sth else, ur sombra seems incredible just based on your duplo tdm shenanigans. i never see overwatch characters around anymore, so i'm always 🥺🥺🥺 when i spot one in the figurative wild. bless u.

Luis Sera | Resident Evil 4



I'm pretty open to anything! Something a little more plot-driven would be ideal but it's not an absolute must. Horror and action/exploration are great given the canon he's coming from, but I'll take a look at whatever you fling at me!

[albuquerque]

Tentatively seeking to join a game in the next month or so, life permitting.

Characters
Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad
Joel Miller - The Last Of Us

Looking for:
▹ Extremely backtag-friendly. My tagging speeds vary a lot, and I've only recently dipped back into rp; I don't mind if the game is slow or medium-paced (consistently fast-paced game is definitely out for me), but very backtag-friendly is what I'm after most of all, as it's the only way I'd be able to keep up in general these days.
▹ I'd be looking for a game that allows for a plenty of emotional story-telling and character development that's driven by the game's setting/events. Not interested anything predominately slice-of-life.
▹ If characters enter the game with powers, or develop powers over time of any kind, even better! I love using this trope to expand on character development. This definitely isn't a game requisite for me, though.
▹ I enjoy games where there is plenty of room for my characters to get up to questionable/criminal activities within the setting and game dynamic.
▹ The only game genres that are a hard no for me is sex-focused, slice-of-life and AUs. Open to everything else.
▹ Castmates for Jesse not necessary. Castmates for Joel for would be great, but wouldn't be a dealbreaker.

[fallingsand]

Hello! Maybe incensed would be of interest to you? It's a low-technology, fantasy/horror sort of game with a dangerous mist that can drive people mad or turn anything out in it for too long into monsters.

Joel might be very familiar with that "everywhere but inside settlements being deadly" vibe, though Jesse might fit in, too, since I believe some of the less savory characters in-game have hopes of getting some crime started.

It's a small, slow-to-medium game with a variety of tagging speeds from the current cast and has monthly quests from the mods. Mod-run events are a bit spaced out but players tend to turn the quests into mingle logs or reach out to plan multi-character quest logs and such between those big events.
