October 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.

THE GREAT SPACE RACE

What is treasure anyway? Gold? Jewels? The friends you made along the way? Well, the greatest treasure in the multiverse is said to be Fortuna: the Lucky Star. Hidden in the fringes of known existence, the legendary star is said to be able to grant any wish. Oft-dismissed as merely a fairy tale, Fortuna has nonetheless been the inspiration of countless voyages, songs, stories, crusades, and wars, as it will be again. The stage is set, and a grand journey is about to begin...

Space Race is a sci-fi exploration panfandom roleplay game with themes of dark comedy, light comedy, drama, trauma, and most of all, adventure and all consuming wanderlust. Inspirations include series such as Borderlands, One Piece, Lancer, FTL, and Metroid. Set against a backdrop of stars, characters will venture into a vast cosmos of countless inhabited planets as Space Privateers, hired for their unique talents to the end of finding the wish-granting star Fortuna and financed by a mysterious benefactor, the multiversal supercomputer known as SUPERBIA. Every Privateer gets a space ship of their own design - a character's ship is a reflection of their personality, and can be anything from a elegant dogfighter to a barely mobile shopping mall to a dreadnought shaped like a dragon. But Privateers do not have to reply on just their own ship; to help each other out on their journey characters can form crews, either joining others as Crewmates or leading their own as Captains. Whether on their own or as a crew, though, the search for the treasure will take the Privateers along a series of planets, each containing a clue leading to the next, until Fortuna is found at last.

Austice is a short run mystery game set in a small rural town, with a focus on character development, and has elements of horror and memory loss/alteration. The game is expected to run for a maximum of one year, with one main event posted each month which may involve small investigative missions, but are initiated by the characters and not via an OOC sign up list.

Applications are open on a rolling basis with no player cap for this first month, but a player cap of 30 will be implemented starting November. There is no forced humanization, size/age limit, or power nerfing (aside from a feeling that powers are somewhat dampened during the daytime, a phenomenon to be investigated in-game), and if your character is dying at their canonpoint, they're dying in their game intro, there's no healing wounds for your first impression. The death mechanic of this game involves the immediate but slow revival of characters who are fatally wounded/at the point of death; characters otherwise cannot die.

AC is due at the end of each month, and is currently set as: one open post/toplevel + one thread from a different post with at least 10 comments from you OR two to three threads with a combined total of 20 comments from you. These threads may be started in the current or previous month, but only the current month will count towards the comment count. Extra threads can be put towards bonuses after the month's AC is met.

The first test drive meme went up just today, and functions as a TDM and game prologue and intro log. There will not be regularly scheduled TDMs in the future, but they may be included as part of certain event logs as applicable.

WELCOME TO RHODOS

RHODOS is a panfandom horror game inspired by elements of the Silent Hill franchise, particularly the psychological aspect where a character's repressed guilt and fears are reflected back at them by the setting. The game is set on a seemingly abandoned Mediterranean island, in a seaside tourist town that exists within a medieval fortress town, both of which were built upon the bones of a much older city. The dark and bloody secrets within that ancient town may be buried, but they are certainly not dead.

In Rhodos, each character arrives with their own Manifestation – a physical representation of their guilts, traumas, or negative traits, which is created by the player as part of the application, and which will doggedly pursue the character as the setting changes throughout the month from an abandoned Grecian island to a nightmare world where dangerous creatures roam. Characters can explore, discover the mysteries and history of Rhodos, and try to fight back against the Manifestations they have inadvertently brought with them. Players can also accumulate points through submitting AC, which they can use to regain their character's supernatural abilities and powers, or buy weapons (or possibly even new abilities) to aid in their fight for survival.

Welcome to the Broken World.

You can't even remember how you got here.

All you know is that one moment you were in a world you were used to, comfortable in. It might have been a regular day or the most important day of your life. You wake up in what seems like the blink of an eye, nauseous and dizzy but otherwise unscathed, barefoot and dressed only in a set of plain grey clothing, trapped in an empty room. You start to lose track of time, the only sound the distant ticking of what sounds like a massive clock.

Just when things seem hopeless, when you feel like you're about to go mad, there's the sound of a commotion outside your door, and when the door opens, there's someone there ready to whisk you away. There's an opportunity to fight back.

Set on the Broken world, Annexed is a sci-fantasy panfandom game. Characters are kidnapped by the Sylphid, a race of magical creatures who reproduce by hollowing out the bodies of sentient creatures and inhabiting them, but immediately freed by an underground rebellion group called the Witches who seek to restore the world to what it was before the Sylphid annexed it. Characters joining the Witches are promised either a new home on their restored world, or access to the magitech that brought them to this world so they can return to their own. They are also tied to the energy of one of the planets - Heba or Tian - which will grant them the opportunity to develop different powers, and tasked with finding a Tether with someone tied to the energy of the opposite planet in order to maintain their energy balance lest they die slowly while losing their minds.

Perchance to Dream

PREMISE ✦ RULES ✦ FAQ ✦ FULL NAV

Welcome to “the Dreamscape”, a specific section of the collective unconscious of the entire omniverse that has been created specifically for the people within it. You have been chosen as one of those people. Within the Dreamscape, you will experience the impossible--- for better or for worse--- and be encouraged to form and maintain meaningful connections with other people from across the various worlds. You were brought here by The Outsider, who is the ruler of the collective unconscious and the creator of the Dreamscape. They are more than a deity or demon--- they are unlike any other being in the universe, the crux that links together all sentient minds in a world beyond reality. They are not only the figurehead of this new reality in which you find yourself--- they are part of the action! They will be attending and joining in on various events to some extent, and you can interact with them the same way you would any of your fellow dreamers. You may find that befriending them has its own rewards! Though for some reason, when things get particularly dicey, they are often hard to find. The Dreamscape is an ever-shifting unreality. Unlike the waking world, very few things remain constant. It will expand as time goes on, so the Locations page will be kept as up to date as possible to give you a full roster of all available locales.

Perchance to Dream is a pan-fandom, world-building and CR-focused game with themes of art, music, dreams, and nightmares! New TDM on the third Wednesday of every month.

CODE

This means less than 30 players, or less than 60 characters.

What are you afraid of?

What do you spend your life hurrying away from, never letting yourself sit down with the thought of it, never letting it pick and crawl and slither through your mind? Or perhaps you know it all too well; perhaps the darkest part of you lurks close to the surface, an all too familiar dread nipping at your heels.
Spiders.
Skittering legs and unseen strands.
They catch and bind and hold in the dark.

Or maybe it's something more abstract...
Being alone.
Wastelands devoid of human life, empty, endless, lonely.
The press of a city, uncaring of lives that begin and end within it.
An errant spark that will bring all you have loved to ash.

Each of these fears, these private terrors that grow in the mind, have power over us. They shape our choices, our lives, our societies, our worlds. Fear can force us to grow, bloom, improve ourselves to overcome it. Or it can consume us and everything we hold dear.

You can't kill fear. You can't destroy it... but that doesn't mean you can't fight it.

Apocalypse How is a cosmic horror, plot-heavy mystery game that centers on characters dealing with supernatural threats and trying to avert apocalypses that threaten to destroy the world they've fallen into. They are aided by an organization called the Apocalypse Disruption Initiative (ADI). It is a group created by and for victims of the Dread Powers that exist beyond the veil of this reality.

If they fail, the world will be consumed and everyone in it may spend the rest of their existence in a personalized hellscape, tormented by otherworldly forces that create, feed upon, and embody fear. If they succeed, there might be a chance of figuring out why outsiders, PC and NPC alike, have been brought to this world and how to return them to their own.

“You have been invited...”

Once every millennium, a new god is born, pulling in outworlders to be “bonded” to their power and influence. The planet has cycled through many gods this way for millions of years, but only Four Cardinal Gems remain. The premature birth of the newest Cardinal Gem, however, has turned the world of Noctium on its head.

As the god of transformation, it is unknown why Malachite is unable to provide boons to the Gembonded. Slumbering in another plane of reality, the Four Cardinal Gems offer their power instead. But even these gifts have their own terms and conditions...

In order to stabilize the erratic powers of the newest deity, the Gembonded must work together to produce Manna. As more mysteries of Noctium unfold, so too do the looming dangers that could threaten all life on the planet and, quite possibly, beyond.

NOCTIUM is a sex-friendly sci-fi/fantasy panfandom roleplay set on the floating islands of an otherwise desolate planet inhabited by the gems. Characters arrive bound to one of the four Cardinal Gems, Amethyst, Sapphire, Emerald, and Ruby — each offering unique abilities and monster transformations.

The game′s themes vary from lighthearted to dark, including some body horror with the transformation elements. The open-world setting allows characters the freedom to make a life for themselves, hone their skills, learn magic, and seek out the planet′s deepest secrets and history.

Songerein—

A dream world born from the clash of three different universes. One world produced emotion energy, a byproduct created when one's emotions manifested into a more tangible force. Another produced dream energy, a byproduct of one's dreams that allowed one to view and traverse through them. Both worlds produced so much excess energy they were diverted into an empty universe and happened to collide, producing a new, strange world made up of a new source, dreamotion energy. It remained a barren wasteland until a tear through the dimensions appeared and the concepts of fairy tales poured through. Magic, creatures, environments—they were all dumped in a central location and life began to form. But were they real? Or just figments of what they used to be? Regardless, this giant clash has created a unique world filled with unlimited possibilities.

But of course, a clash of this size would have some side effects. The dream energy in particular remains volatile and continues to seep out with its innate ability to connect to any dream in any world. If there is a strong enough resonance between the dreamer and dream energy, a version of the dreamer, a dream self, is formed and pulled into Songerein while the original body remains in their world safe, unharmed, and unaware of what's going on. Only after accumulating enough dreamotion energy can the dream self "wake up" and leave Songerein to return to its original body, all its experiences feeling like a strange, long dream.

Fortunately, Songerein is relatively...peaceful. It's a brand new world after all with only the fairy tale creatures and the dream selves, or dreamwalkers as they are officially called, pulled from other worlds as its denizens. There may be times the different energies become unstable, but it only creates a slight disturbance that eventually settles. Still, the constant connecting and reconnecting through the dream energy means that different things are randomly pulled in and disappear from the world. Those who have decided to make Songerein their home want to build onto it by using the ability to traverse through dreams to their advantage. By creating dreamshifts, they can create giant dreamscapes based on other worlds that large groups of dreamwalkers can enter and bring back concepts to be used in Songerein. Beginning with fairy tales, dreamwalkers could also form dreamshifts based on their own home worlds to bring in something from there. As a bonus, this uses the excess dreamotion energy within the world, helping stabilize it.

So, what kind of world will Songerein become? Just remember…

Where there are dreams, there are also nightmares.

Songerein is a panfandom game based on the following three former games: Somarium, Empatheias, and Forgotten Tales. At its core it is a worldbuilding game with adventure and character development. Player and character action will be what decides what is brought into Songerein, be it for good or ill. Although it's expected for players to be able to create their own fun and not rely solely on the mods, Songerein is billed to be more of a relaxed game for everyone to have fun in.
