April 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.

MOD CONTACT:

If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

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.

♥ OFFERING
★ LOOKING FOR
    PSLs or memes! Canon, OCs and cross-canons are all awesome.

    What I am looking for is a character who'd get super obsessive and possessive over Ereshkigal. Too much so. A sort of yandere? Think the "male yandere" archetype you tend to see in manhwas, though they can be any gender.

    Genuinely loving with a disregard for morals so long as it means they get what they want. The kind who would think it's a good idea to kidnap her when they realize she's too serious and duty-bound for her own good. The kind who would fight the entire world if needed for her, yet treat her like a doll or princess and come back with pretty dresses they think would look good on her.


    I would love to play scenes with such characters who fall madly in love with Ereshkigal and who thinks her fate of being forever "prisoner" of the Underworld is unjust. So of course, she should be forever their prisoner instead! Because that's better, right? Mind you, Ereshkigal also thinks her fate is unjust, but she has a very strong sense of duty. Someone needs to look after the dead! But who looks after her? No one, that's who!

    Ereshkigal is fond of romantic novels and has daydreamed on multiple occasions of being a heroine who is rescued from her terrible fate and ends up in a passionate romance with her destined love! So she'd definitely be flattered... But also unsure because her duties??? Definitely not your usual reaction to a yandere lover. She deals with severe abandonment issues, is affection starved and lacks self-esteem because.

    Things that involve master and pet/doll play, dressing up, very light bondage and the likes would be super fun in such a scenario. And lots of romance, even if it's tragic and dark.


    I am also looking for super fluffy things with master/pet kind of relationships (with Eresh in the role of the submissive). Lots of petting, praising and physical closeness!
✿ SHIPPING PREFERENCES
    When it comes to shipping, I am happy with any and all genders!

    Smut is okay so long as the scene leads naturally into it. I'm not interested in roleplays where smut happens for no reason. There needs to be a proper build-up and natural progression towards it. Kink-wise, I have a kink-list on my profile.
➤ OTHER
    I usually tag at least once a day!
    Backtagging is just fine! If you can't reply for a reason or another, it's totally okay.
    Brackets favored.
    I live in Europe (GMT+2), so expect tags at odd US times.
Should you be interested, please feel free to reply to this message or PM me! Alternatively, you can contact me on plurk at [plurk.com profile] lorulean.

my thinking was to AU the setting at a point between fallen london and sunless skies - london didn't manage to take to the wilderness, but it's no longer the current city either (and i have a plan for what it's up to as a future location in the game hehe) and the bazaar has acquired a new city which it's using the player characters to populate. i loooove london and i do think it would be fun itself, but a brand new city gives me a little bit of wiggle room in terms of freedom for adding new things to the setting and also not having to worry about every single detail and piece of london lore i might be missing.....

definitely would include sunless seas content, since it would be fun to allow players to travel across the zee at some points! and i have plans for factions to be available, as well as for characters to do little personal plots and missions for their faction to try and further those interests in the neath and affect the outcome of the game :3c

[personal profile] poorlittlesange 2024-04-15 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
ooooOOOOOoooooh. yes i think that is the right call, esp because there are just SO many bits of esoteric London-specific lore in that game that i think it's impossible for anyone (who isn't also, like, a FBG employee lmfao) to accurately translate it into dwrp. would the newly acquired city be a real-world location like the other cities (e.g., the second city, first city, etc.) or will you be making something up whole cloth? either works, i'm just extremely nosy and keen on this idea lol.

Hello! Don't worry, I'm very happy to work off of what's out and headcanon the way to 2.2. We can use those crumbs and make some bridges. I feel suspicious about what could have happened to make Robin leave penacony to begin with (her success being at the forefront but also maybe possible disagreements between them having to do with the family idk. the way welt spoke about their light cone made me think a lot). what vibes are you thinking of?

I have lots of ideas, if any one of them strike your fancy! Like:

📺 Vox being supremely jealous of Angel getting all of the attention from Valentino (and Angel is like FINE HAVE HIM)
📺 Vox having televisions/cameras/hidden devices everywhere in V Tower, using them as a channel for voyeurism/spying, to watch Valentino and Angel when they're alone together (and all that entails)
📺 Vox hating Angel for "taking away" Valentino and subsequently taking out his frustrations on him (depending on how sexual or violent you want that to be: could be mild shocks to electrocution, loud noises from screens, constant monitoring, plain old fisticuffs) and if it's in the studio and Valentino tells Angel not to fight back, well, Vox has the advantage.
📺 Vox has a turn with Angel after Valentino (because Angel is like the closest thing he can get to Valentino)

Vox managing Angel as a stand-in for Valentino for one reason or another is good. Maybe he steps in, even, as a supervisor for one of Angel's film shoots? Anyway, these are all just thoughts. Tell me what you're interested in! Jealousy, resentment, bitterness, anger, misunderstandings, those are all good to explore.

offering.
elsa bloodstone ; [personal profile] shewhohunts
jack russell ; [personal profile] bynights

preferences.
▸ psls/memes only, please!
▸ i tend to ship these two with each other (and jack with ted - he's got two hands!) and am something of a single-ship bitch. i could be swayed into shipping with elsa, but if that happens, i'd prefer f/f only and to develop things semi-organically. she's cagey. it'll be a slow-ish burn. that being said, i am down to play whichever half of wolfstone that a canonmate might desire and i'm also good with writing them as platonic friends, if that's more your speed!
▸ not really a smut girlie, though. fades-to-black and mornings after are my limit.
▸ full disclosure, i boomerang like crazy. but i never have and never will expect the same from my partners. i will also backtag literally forever. if we have a thread, please consider me your local dog sitting at the door and patiently waiting to be let out for a walk. take as long as you want. i will be here.
▸ my default style is brackets + present tense, but i'll generally adapt to my partner's preference.
▸ one-offs are fine, but i adore a long-term psl and being chased around on memes.
▸ generally down for anything and everything, but i would loooove other muses that have ties to the supernatural or are themselves supernatural creatures/monsters. elsa is a (former) monster hunter and jack a werewolf, and the two of them both kind of make a habit of helping out monsters in distress. paranormal investigators/cryptozoologists/other monster hunters for elsa in particular to butt heads with or jack to run afoul of would be loved.
▸ for canonmates specifically, i am a sucker for a good rescue and some h/c. and a healthy dose of softness because god knows these two have earned it.

▸ i like to talk to my rp partners!! my discord is available to anyone who asks but pms are just as good.

Hey! Fade Rift fuckin loves OCs. We're on the smaller end these days, with a meaty, mission-focused plot that's easy to opt into at your own pace. AC is quarterly, and mostly a check-in on what your character's been up to.

We're based in the universe of the Dragon Age video games (high fantasy ish), but canon familiarity is definitely not required. While there are options to AU characters as native to the setting, they can also arrive unchanged from their own canon, through a magical rift between worlds.

We allow tabletop OCs, and historically, most of our canon characters have been LCW. If you have any questions, feel free to hit me up. Our current TDM is tracked by a lot of players, so if we see you there, we'll be sure and tag! Good luck finding a good fit for your dudes.

[personal profile] extortionate 2024-04-15 11:26 pm (UTC)(link)
My lol at these usernames.

Fade Rift is a plot-heavy, slower-paced game set in the Dragon Age universe (high fantasy ish). Canon familiarity isn't required - characters can AU, or they can arrive from their own canon through a rift between worlds.

We've got a Durge/Tav right now, and I know that they and several other players would love a Halsin. The DA setting has... a lot going on with magic and elves and corrupted land that might be interesting to get to dig into as an outsider.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. A lot of our current players track the current TDM for top-levels, so if you hit it up, we'll hit you back! Good luck finding your boys a fit.

Kneeslides in. Dragon Age, you say.

Not for Anders - we actually just killed Anders - but if you dig the setting, Fade Rift is a small game with low, quarterly AC. There are options to AU, but you don't have to take them - characters can arrive unchanged from their own canon through a rift.

Our current TDM is tracked by a lot of players, so if we see you there, we'll def hit you up. I know Locked Tomb and FF are popular among a couple players, and politics is a big focus of the setting if you end up digging it for certain governors.

[personal profile] extortionate 2024-04-15 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
So, it's not sci-fi, but we do have some horror going on intermittently. Fade Rift is a game based in the Dragon Age setting (high fantasy ish), with a small MCU cast and a ton of OCs. We've had DND & liveplay characters in the past as well.

We're a fairly small game, and it's easy to set your own pace. AC is a quarterly check-in about what your character's been up to. We love us some network spam, but big, mission-focused logs are one of the game's hallmarks.

Canon familiarity isn't required, and there are options to AU characters, or bring them in from their own canon through dimensional rifts. Powers are sometimes modified or nerfed, but the mods are pretty open to discussing what you think is important to keep.

Feel free to hit me up with any questions. Our current TDM is tracked for top-levels, so if we see you there, we'll see you there. ;)

Marcille my love...

That's personal bias, any of them would be welcome at Fade Rift. We've been going for like eight years, so there have been a lot of long character arcs - and a fair amount of nefarious behaviour.

We're a slower, plot-heavy game based in the Dragon Age (high fantasy-ish, a lotta darker themes) universe. You don't have to be canon familiar, and characters can either AU or arrive from their own settings through a dimensional rift. These 'rifters' can canon update along the way in a kind of jarring fashion that basically downloads all the data without altering their physical form. Like you go to sleep and vividly hallucinate years of your life. There's some horror in that, ime!!

Powers are often modified or nerfed a bit, but the mods are pretty open to hearing about what's important for you to keep.

The current TDM is tracked for top-levels, so if we see ya, we'll hit you up. Good luck finding your game!

[community profile] expiationnet fits a lot of your preferences! I think most of the characters on your list would fit well, too. It's a sci-fi/fantasy exploration game that emphasizes examinations of morality and justice. Massively backtag-friendly and has a good balance between log and network stuff. The new tdm just went up today if you're interested!

ngl I'd love to see Faye ANYWHERE but I can't help feeling like she'd fit in well at [community profile] expiationnet. It's a sci-fi/fantasy exploration game that deals a lot with morality, justice, and crime. It's super backtag-friendly and medium-paced. New TDM just went up today if you're interested! Either way, I hope you find her a home. (And canonmates too, I'd honestly love to see that)

h-hi 👉👈

I DON'T NORMALLY GO FOR F/F TBH but i think these two are soooo cute and funny so i would be willing to give them a shot, if you are! i can age up to her doctor future in her 20's if ur not comfortable with the mental age gap. hiyori can do a different flavor of your first check???? she's incredibly devout to the point of ALMOST obsession. it's touched on a LIL BIT in our old threads but she definitely wants to help ere get out there and beyond the underworld lifestyle. experience life etc etc help her with her wish

there is plenty of praise from hiyori too

(if it ever goes there IT'S OKAY IF IT DOESN'T but i also need proper build-up and natural prog towards smut so 👍👍👍)

that's the trickiest decision! both definitely have their merits, and i think it's probably easier for me to make up a new city whole cloth - if i picked an existing real world city to give the neath treatment, i'd have to do a LOT of research and be very familiar with both its geography and culture in order to twist it. which i'm not opposed to! it limits me a little more, but it can be interesting.

currently i've been rolling with making up a fictional city from scratch, with the in-game explanation that the bazaar itself is making a last-ditch effort to succeed in its mission and picking a place from another world, after every earth city has been such a catastrophic failure lol. most of the work before i can get the game off the ground will probably be building this new setting from scratch in as much detail as i can, because i don't want to lose out on the charm that you get from using a real world location... my biggest worry is just ending up with Generic DWRP City Setting so i have to ponder a lot about things like the architecture and technology and etc. to make something that i feel confident will be Fun and Interesting to play with

oh yeah I'm DEFINITELY going to have some power nerfing. because of the nature of the setting, it's really easy for me to provide reasons why some powers and even some natural talents aren't as effective as they used to be. I don't want to completely remove powers but I fully intend to level the playing field a little with power scaling as well as providing long-term avenues for less powered characters to gain new abilities (at some personal cost to themselves, most likely, since a lot of Fallen London is about reshaping yourself in new and horrific ways) so that nobody feels their character is permanently disadvantaged or locked out from aspects of the game.

[personal profile] appeale 2024-04-16 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
ooooh, I'll definitely look into how those more narrative-focused TTRPG systems run for some inspiration, thank you so much for the rec! I don't know that I'll really establish a full system so much as just implement some RNG elements, but Blades in the Dark already looks really really interesting and pretty relevant for DWRP with the emphasis it makes on collaborative judgement calls, so I'm keen to read about it.

I'd definitely leave minor dice rolls to players to decide on their own - players can implement them or not as they so choose, it's still a DWRP game first while borrowing some TTRPG elements to introduce a little variety! my main intention for where dice rolls would be implemented is, like-- players being able to pursue individual character plots/missions that can result in material rewards, furthering a character's personal goals in the game, or contribute to a faction's interests. once they submit the plot request, the mods first state the DC beforehand and then RNG the outcome and describe it to the player -> the player plays out the scenario and is able to submit the thread for reward once it reaches a certain number of comments. to me as a player, one of the biggest appeals of dice rolls and RNG has always been providing me with direction before starting a thread, especially with investigations and exploration.

I was definitely also considering making it possible to increase stats with AC rewards as an option! even if it doesn't end up being used much, since I'm not sure how concerned players would be with their characters' stats when they can get other fun stuff with their AC bonuses instead, I think it's something I would put on the table as a possible choice. and other things too, like one (1) guaranteed success in a dice roll, or a reroll, or a temporary stat boost... depends how heavily the RNG gets incorporated into decision-making, I suppose.

another thing I'm pretty sure I'll implement is that there's a better chance of success when more characters are involved, to encourage plotting with multiple people - maybe the stat bonuses of ALL characters taking part in the plot/mission are added to the dice roll, so say you've got a DC of 15 and you roll a 6, but there are three characters participating and there stat bonuses are +4, +3, and +2 which brings you to a 15.
