February EMP Meme

[enablemeplz]

ENABLEMEPLZ meme goes up on the last 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. ➤ ABSOLUTELY NO obnoxious coding (no font size > size 4 or 3 "big" tags, no banners, no blinking text, no obnoxious tables, no sparklies, no 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 frozen and/or deleted. FOR CHARACTER ADS: ➤ Put up an ad about the characters you are offering. For PSL/1-on-1 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/1-on-1 section, where you post the 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. ➤ 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 screened. 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 screened. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

lostcarnival allows characters with small or non existent bits of canon (IE fan characters from game settings like Shadowrun or what have you), and also has an overarching plot that isn't the whole focus - a lot of what characters can do is based on what they decide to make of their situation. It's a world-travelling fae circus that people get indebted to (either by choice or otherwise) and have to take on year long work contracts to make up for. There are transformation aspects (growing tails, horns, etc) but what you take on is very flexible and the minimum is a pretty small amount.

Characters don't have to become human and there is no restrictions on them staying whatever they are in canon. There is a power cap but it's mostly just to keep people from having a massive edge on other players and from breaking the setting. See what you think!

So I see your not huge on memloss but I also see your Shadowrun so

/sits here

May I suggest cityofhex? We're
-tiny and slow-paced (kind of slouching this month but I hope that picks up again, lots of personal roadblocks of players/mods affect tiny games worse)
- plot based with a tabletop-feel leaning (it's New World of Darkness based and the playerbase tends to have tabletop experience, we sometimes roll things); essentially there are lots of hooks every in-game week but you can also just run around and poke at stuff. I've found it to be a good second game because you can keep up with the plot/etc developments easily and build solid CR without spending unreasonable amounts of time on it
- the mem-loss aspect can be worked around for the most part (if you app in as a New Arrival and your character is intelligent enough to not get themselves killed or promise their memories away, it's easy to lose nothing/about nothing - Mem loss info)
- V cool with OCs and also /gestures at potential canonmate here
- as a note, plotting generally happens on plurk and discord, so if you're an ooc-comm-only person, this isn't your game, sadly
- uh I'm not sure what else to say but. Yes. Join my squishy mage?

Eee McCree omg

I'm gonna go ahead and rec hadriel! It's a slight horror game based in an underground cave, with a pantheon of emotion based gods vying for power. We're just finishing up the first arc of the plot and while there's some meta to follow, there's plenty to do outside of it. We just got a Junkrat and I believe our Ana is dropping, so the cast is tiny, but the game also accepts OCs so there's no problem there if you end up wanting to bring someone else!

Our most recent test drive is over here and apps open on the 1st! Additionally, AC is 20 comments a month, with logs counting double.
