December 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.

➤ All mod responses regardless of whether they're rule breaks, correction requests (like someone posting in the wrong section), or thwapping someone for spamming copy-paste ads, have always been and will almost universally be public. If someone sends a PM and the conversation gets combative, this will also be made public and posted to the comments of the mod contact page. This is for the sake of transparency so people can judge the emp mod's communications for fairness themselves.

There are times where the player's post may be screened (such as if they posted to the wrong section) but the mod's response will be left unscreened.

➤ Players may sometimes be allowed more than one strike for copy-paste ads since this is often just enthusiasm behind it, but game mods should know better. They'll get one warning for copy-paste ads, and if they spam anymore copy-paste ads after the warning, they'll be banned from the meme.

➤ 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.

MONSTER HEIGHTS

Monster Heights is set in a world where the main inhabitants are monsters, not a human in sight, and your characters are brought to this place to help with a crisis. There's an illness that has begun to affect monsters of every kind, and no one has been able to figure out the cause. Scientists are desperate, so they have decided to go to their last resort: mixing their own DNA with that of something out of their world. The scientists have a theory, and they're using your character's DNA to test it.

Every character wakes up in a dorm room, nestled within an Academy made for monsters where they will be learning how to adapt to their new bodies. Upon entering, each character is injected with some mysterious serum that will transform them into a monster themselves, and then they are put to individual tests to see how well they are able to take on the Monster DNA.

It's a Comedy/Horror game.

Our first TDM is right over here! The game will be set to open February 1st in order to give me time to make any edits I need before it opens! Applications will open the first of February and will close the 7th. The reserves open the 28th of January.

Perchance to Dream

RULES & INFO ✦ FAQ ✦ APPLY ✦ CURRENT CAST

When you went to sleep the night before, it had been like any other night. And yet, you wake to find yourself in a strange room. Black tile floors and broad, open windows whose view is of a soft, pink, sunset sky, up high enough that meandering clouds drift into the space. A note on black paper, written in shimmering purple ink, bids you to seek out the entity which summoned you here, known only as "The Outsider". The exit door in front of you awaits.

Welcome to the Dreamscape, a specially crafted pocket dimension tucked within the realm of the unconscious mind by a friendly benefactor looking to learn more about meaningful connections formed between mortals. Designed to facilitate opportunities for friendship, found family, and romance, the only limit to what can happen here is your own imagination. There's just one problem ---- you can't wake up.

✦•······················•✦•······················•✦

Perchance to Dream is a panfandom, CR-focused game centered around dreams, emotional connection, personal growth, and whimsical weirdness, with additional themes of art and music. OCs highly encouraged, NSFW is welcome but not focused on. The landscape is constantly changing and will be increasingly influenced by the characters in it. The Outsider is also not just an NPC, but an interactive character, and befriending them may prove to have additional benefits.

Our latest Test Drive Meme, "The Seasonal Split," will launch on Dec. 14th. In the mean time, join us for our DreamNet mini-meme, a game of Would You Rather! For game updates, follow us on Plurk at

PerchancetoDreamDW or send us a PM to request a link to our Discord server. Sweet dreams!

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.

A world cursed to destruction, a people resentful of outsiders and fighting for survival, a prison designed to harvest sexual energy in hopes of restoring the planet to its former glory. Welcome to the Intergalactic Correctional Institution - Reparacija. Reparacija is a pan-fandom kink game set in the fictional prison of the same name, with an overarching plot and a mix of sex, horror aspects, sci-fi elements, and some 'slice of life'. Characters are brought to the facility under the guise of serving a sentence for crimes committed against their home-worlds, with the promise of returning home after their sentence is completed. In reality, fulfillment of those sentences is all that's keeping the planet alive as the native population scrambles in a race against time to find a way to stop the blight and break the curse placed upon their planet generations ago. Here, character actions can change the course of the game, and emphasis is on CR-building as characters will need to rely on one another to survive on a planet that grows more and more uninhabitable and inhospitable as time goes on, among a people who only care about their ability to sustain the planet's life. The clock is ticking. Will you help save a dying planet and return home a hero, or will you let the world burn? The choice is yours.

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.

Players interested in a game can post a header for the game and ask questions that players in that game can respond to. Please see the instructions/rules for this section in the post above.

You can also use this space to ask general game questions like "What games accept CRAUS?" or "What games have a fast pace and aren't SOL?"

Want to do an interest check to see if people would be interested in a game idea you want to run? Looking for comods to help you start a game? Or do you have questions about possible game mechanics?

Ask questions regarding starting a new game here. Please put the topic of your post (i.e. "looking for comods," or "interest check for a steampunk sci fi game") in the subject of your comment.

I'm hoping to do a formal interest check in January, but I was hoping I could get input on mechanics: The idea behind the game is long days and longer nights. I set it at 1 week of daytime, 2 weeks of nighttime (realtime - so 7 and 14 days respectively,) but I was concerned that this would be too breakneck of a pace and not allow for enough downtime even with "lighter" nights so I was hoping to get some thoughts!

Would it be better to do 2 weeks of each, or two weeks of day and three weeks of night to keep the idea of longer nights? Or something else entirely? I'd like to keep the eccentric time scale, but I'm open on the specific - I'm not sure what would work best in the current climate.

This sounds like a fascinating game. I would prefer your concept of 1 week days and two-week nights. I think going longer than that might be too long, but then I suppose it's hard to fully judge without knowing more of the specifics.

Thank you! It's one I've wanted to run for ages so I'm excited to finally get it rolling. :) The general idea is that the days are safe and quiet and the house is normal, while the nights are when all the ghosts and ghouls come out - so my one concern would be the pace being too rapidfire; I am attached to the idea of longer nights, but I could possibly just give up on having longer nights to make it 2/2 to make it a full month cycle if needed.

Well, if the idea is that the people are all stuck in the house, one real-life week of peace seems like enough in between the big action. But maybe that also depends on how exhausting the nights are for the players. If things are moving in real-time, does that mean backtagging wouldn't really work for the game and all threads would need to stop when it was time to switch from day to night or vice versa?

No lie, I had a similar idea for this game! It's been in the infancy stages for ages (don't have time to mod and I just kind of toy with the idea in my free time), and it's less of a horror game, but the plan was to go with something a little like

damned_institute from a thousand years ago, where the "day" was a week or so, and the "night" was longer so folks could deal with the spooky stuff happening within the walls.

Personally, I think one "day" week and two "night" weeks is the sweet spot. Longer than that might make the actual plot of the game move at a glacial pace, since you'll already have a situation where an in-game week takes RL months to actually pass. I know in Damned, it was sometimes hard to realistically cultivate close CR, since characters would really only have known each other for a matter of a day or two due to the slow pace of the game. To be fair, that's one of those situations where folks will just have to have some wiggle room when it comes to RP to allow for that sort of thing.

Anyway, delighted to see someone with a similar idea! Great minds think alike. :> I'll be watching for that interest check, and I hope it takes off! People around here can be sticklers for keeping to the 1:1 time format, but I think a shakeup in the formula would be really interesting, especially if it serves the rest of the game's mechanics.
