August EMP Meme
FOR GAME ADS: ➤ Put an ad up with the characters / crew / pairings / kink 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 fonts and other html that make ads super long, 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 canon 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. ➤ There is a "Pairings You Want to Play" section, where you can ask for castmates or crosscanon you'd like to ship with. Please format this with "[YOUR CANON] seeking [CASTMATE/OTHER CANON (if crosscanon)/SEE DESCRIPTION (if a general character type)]. For the actual text of the ad you must use the "Pairings You Want to Play" form provided at the bottom of this post so that these ads don't get huge. Alongside castmates and crosscanon, you can choose to ask for OCs or general character types as well. Try not to get too wordy and please don't outline entire scenarios. ➤ 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. ➤ The meme is for fiction-based RP only (with the only exception being involvement of fictionalized historical figures or historical settings.) Celeb or RPF RP advertising, whether for games or players, is not allowed. MOD CONTACT: If there's trouble, tell me HERE, please!

HYPERION STAR - Coming Soon!
Hyperion Star is a panfandom spacefaring science-fantasy game taking place on the eponymous arkship. The gods who dwell within the ship require you, the Marked, to gather the energy they call Divinity, so that they can prevent the end of all things. At their behest, you'll travel to different planets to fulfill their great mission, live in the techno-fantasy kingdom that they apparently believe is the appropriate place for panfandom characters to hang out while between missions on a spaceship, and maintain the field generated by the aforementioned horrific eldritch monstrosity that it uses as a power source. Asking what can go wrong is specifically forbidden by divine decree.
Hyperion Star mainly has an adventurous and lighthearted tone as characters go about their business, but also involves exploring the nature of the gods' decision to pressgang the characters into duty, the consequences of their choices, and how to forestall the end of existence.

FATED HEARTS | A Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts adventure/mystery/slice-of-life game
FATED HEARTS is a FF/KH multifandom roleplay, set in Final Fantasy 7's world, with locations from other worlds showing up as well.

N A V I G A T I O N
Also would like to add: All FF and KH are more than welcome, and we do accept characters from other fandoms as well, as long as they are AUed into the setting (which can be as simple as their world being part of the KH universe)!
We have a Test Drive here! We're also currently wrapping up a Heartless Swarm event that will be very plot-important! Backtagging is always encouraged and loved, if anyone would still like to join and get in on it!
Mods are available to answer questions!

VIVA LA: A PANFANDOM OU/AU SKY PIRATE REVOLUTION GAME
VIVA LA
His Majesty Empire Cladius Varschein II, requests your service in the war against the Corsair Rebel Army, who would see this prosperous empire fall into ruin. The time has come to sink every last ship, down their every flying armor, and eradicate their sympathizers from the Upper Isles. Power, fortune, and fame are all for the taking. Serve well and you will be rewarded handsomely…
Viva La is a panfandom OU/AU hybrid game inspired by Skies of Arcadia and the Trails/Kiseki series that takes place in the Flying Isles of Esthere, a world of endless sea where the continents of the world fly high in the sky. You can play your character as either a Rebel Corsair or as a Villain in service of the Empire. Hero-types and characters too kind to fight the Corsairs are also welcomed to be played as “villains” forced to serve the Emperor against their will, with the option of defecting to the rebellion later. For more details, see the Villain information section.
All characters, regardless of the side they're on may be applied as either off-worlders who were pulled through the Servant Gate into the game’s world, or AU’d into the native setting.

Iyashikei: An Invite-Only Slice of Life Magical and Sci-Fi Solarpunk Panfandom Game
A great council of magical and scientific beings came together and saw all the conflict and horrors across the multiverses. After great debates about how to combat so much hatred and evil, between great deeds and even greater heroes, the Council agreed it was not just one great act that could conquer growing hatred, but multiple small, simple acts of kindness and kinship.
Combining their magic and sciences, they created Iyashikei, a world where small acts of kindness can be gathered in one place. With the world created, they sent out messages far and wide to explain their intent:
"Come, live, love, and show how small drops of kindness can make a tidal wave."
Iyashikei is a private invite-only, Slice of Life panfandom game with elements of modern technology and fantasy combined. While there will be the occasional element of horror, mystery, or adventure, the game's main premise is characters showing how simple, everyday acts of kindness, kinship, and found family overcome great hardships.

SOMNIA ● an invite only horror-survival game inspired by Sleep Token
When you wake up, nothing is as promised.
Somnia is a panfandom survival-horror roleplay set in the ruins of a world ravaged by a god called Sleep. She shattered open her own realm and now dreams outward, infecting others. Your character is pulled from their world by her dream that finds them, consumes them, and reshapes them.
They are a Vessel, now: either a Token, shaped by magic, or an Offering, shaped by monstrous transformation. All are bound to each other by an invisible thread called the Murmur, an ever-present network of shared thoughts, feelings, and memories. This connection can grow deeper into Tethers, even Convergence— but the cost of closeness is never small.
Game events are shaped by the music of Sleep Token, where each arc is inspired by an album. You'll be following the story of One, this world's first and suffering Vessel tangled dangerously with Sleep, who later seeks to break free from her clutch and end her spreading infection.

Stars of the Nashira | a magical girl-themed AU game
You lead a more or less ordinary life in the bustling Chalra City. For better or worse, this is the world you live in, and it’s the only world you know. And then one day you feel something stir in you — perhaps it comes to you in a dream, or you have a waking vision that comes with a thundering sense of deja vu — and in the back of your mind, you hear a voice that sounds very much like your own, uttering a wish with its dying breath.
You awaken to your destiny as one of the reincarnated Nova Knights, the last survivors of a dead planet consumed by the Abyss, a malevolent cosmic entity that leaves behind only twisted reflections of the worlds it devours. After years of fleeing its pursuit in the starship Nashira, the Nova Knights finally faced the Abyss in a final confrontation and sacrificed their lives in order to seal away the Abyss and protect future worlds from its endless hunger.
But the Abyss is free again, and it has begun its invisible encroachment on your world, aided by its mortal agents. Bound together by the stars of fate, you and your fellow Nova Knights will need to combine your strength and fight back as you did once before — and maybe this time, you’ll manage to save the world.
Stars of the Nashira is a panfandom AU game inspired by the magical girl genre and the setting of Baten Kaitos, and borrows some gameplay concepts from the tabletop game Girl by Moonlight. The game is a plot-heavy, mission-based game with monthly events partly determined by RNG, and encourages active participation in ways that can affect the game’s plot. The game is expected to run 1-2 years with an endgame in mind.
This game is invite-based, but if you post on the TDM and are interested in the game but don’t know any existing players, you can request an invite on the invite page! Apps are done on a rolling basis and are open as long as there are available player slots. You can contact the mod at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)

So Spitballing For a Cyberpunk Sex Game
(Anonymous) 2025-08-10 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)I'm thinking typical horrifying megacorporate nonsense, maybe some Murderbot spacefaring influences; real jobs are for "real" people (natives to that reality) while player characters are yoinked out of their own realities and assigned shitty jobs and shittier dormitories. You want something better, you earn it either on your back IRL or on your back in VR.
I've also been contemplating an idea of a "bound" subclass of citizens, who are supposed to be publicly available as an outlet and are probably disproportionately imported people. Maybe some mandatory brainwashing sessions for recalcitrant bound citizens to make sure that happens...
General Interest Check on Murder Games and advice running them
I am a big enjoyer of social deduction games like Werewolf/mafia. I am relatively (?) newer in DWrp, but I wanted to ask about there would be any interest in a werewolf/mafia themed game.
For those not aware of the gamestyle: Werewolf is a social deduction game where there are two phases and two main types of players. The werewolves and the villagers. Villagers are regular characters who do not know who each other is and to kill the werewolves, while the werewolves' job is to pick off players one by one until there are a equal number of players to their numbers. Additionally, werewolves know who each other is.
This is done in 2 phases known as Day and Night phases. In the night, the werewolves will kill a player secretly via vote. Then during the day, the players all find out the victim and go over evidence of the murder and kill off one player (they can be wrong or right.)
Additionally; there are other smaller roles that can also have special abilities. (Example: The Seer being a very common one; who has the night action of being able to see the true role of one player.)
I've seen werewolf games be run as RP before in other websites and on discord, and I was wondering about viability as well as advice on structure.
(If anyone would wanna help co-mod, that would also be really cool.)
no subject
I don't have any experience running murder games, but I'm willing to help mod if you need someone. o7 I've only participated in RP Werewolf games via Epic Mafia (RIP), so your experience is probably better than mine.
I have thought about how you'd structure a Werewolf-style game would work on DWRP. (I'd do filter-locked entries in a dedicated mod journal for the werewolves' plotting/playing, for example.) I think some of the structure might depend on the size and pace of the game you'd wanna run, but I definitely think it would be doable and people would have fun with it.
no subject
Anyone with experience in DWRP would be very helpful in general, yes! I am used to ones on discord and have seen some on other forums and seen how they were run, but I have some idea on how to settle it into DWRP. I've researched there was danganronpa-like murder games and I'm trying to figure all that out as well.
That's pretty smart on your account to know that kind of journal could be filter-locked to certain players, I assume that would mean only the werewolves could see it?
I definitely think it is doable as well as a fun kind of format. As for pacing, I was thinking of having it be moderately paced at least (a week or two for "day" phase so people can rp, with the second weekend being the conversation, then a few days for night time rolls to act (with a potential "After conversation" section for all players being that week (kinda like how after your conversation you can go talk to the characters in Gnosia). Something like this at least, can be adjusted.
no subject
I do have lots of DWRP experience!! I'm happy to help you with any quirks of this side of RP. Murdergames seem more structured compared to typical DWRP games, so your Discord and forum RP experience might actually translate really well.
Yes! On a personal journal, it's possible to set custom filters so only certain accounts can view an entry. So you could, like, have a filter for Round 1 Werewolves and only those accounts could view the entry. With the bonus that you can unlock the entry after the round is over, so everyone can see what was happening behind the scenes.
That pace sounds good to me! I think it should give people time to play what they want to play, especially with the longer day phase for the investigations to happen. From what I gathered from other murdergames, the trial/discussion part usually takes place within a day, at a set time, but expanding it to a weekend should let people have more leeway. I also like having the option to have some post-conversation chats, makes the night phase a little more fun for villager roles. |D
