September 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 / 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.

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.

arcane, bg3, co:e33, grishaverse, star wars — cross-canon enthusiastically welcome!!!

offering
characters on definitive offer:
  • Astarion Ancunín — Baldur's Gate 3 — [personal profile] nibbling ( INFO POST )
    elevator pitch: haughty vampire elf from d&d world who wants to kill his old master really bad, highly manipulative and ingratiates himself w/ insincere flirting and sex.
  • Verso Dessendre — Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 — [personal profile] recreatable ( INFO POST )
    elevator pitch: superficially charming people-pleasing perfectionist and immortal-against-his-will from fantasy early 20th century France who has turbo depression and loves to lie.
  • Nikolai Lantsov — Grishaverse books — [personal profile] enthroning ( INFO POST )
    elevator pitch: aggressively charismatic bastard prince/king from industrial revolution-era fantasy Russia, turns into a bloodthirsty monster at night. annoying, but very clever.

characters I haven't yet stuck the landing with, but I'm willing to try for the right plot:
  • Jayce Talis— Arcane — [personal profile] techbro
    elevator pitch: golden retriever inventor/engineer from a steampunkish/retrofuturistic setting, the smartest himbo you'll ever meet. comes in regular and 'traumatized and has a beard' flavors.
  • Cassian Andor — Star Wars — [personal profile] radicalization
    elevator pitch: DEPENDS ON CANON POINT... but let's just say member of the rebellion in a science fantasy world who does bad things for good(?) reasons, scrappy survivor with paranoia.

seeking
  • castmate-wise, I'm eternally seeking Wyll Ravengard for Astarion. otherwise, I'm mostly seeking out cross-canon for Astarion.
  • for everyone else, I'm open to all castmates and ENTHUSIASTICALLY open to cross-canon. please play cross-canon with me! I'm happy to AU any of my characters, I just request that the setting be somewhat similar in genre. I'm also happy to do some random 'magically ends up in your universe' weirdness, but I still prefer genres not to be too wildly different.

preferences
  • I like long-form PSLs, playing a cadre of NPCs, and doing a bunch of plot. I generally like to start with an overarching plot idea and then let it snowball from there.
  • open to gen (particularly Verso w/ family members) but also, I'm a shipping gremlin who loves a slow burn. I will write nasty down-bad smut with very few limits idc but I don't mind ftb either.
  • my tagging pace is variable and sometimes things get away from me for several days but I prefer to boomerang if we're both online and tagging so we can Get Things Done. I'll try to match your pace, though.
  • both prose and brackets are fine, although I phone tag a lot, so forgive any HTML blunders pls.

this post is already long enough so I'm going to call it here, but shoot me a PM and I'm happy to talk more.

Can I interest you in a 'missing scene from Andor' style kind of thing where Zam captures Cassian for the Empire's bounty? Or other scenarios, I'm very open!]

[personal profile] radicalization 2025-09-14 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
sure! I'm super heavily voicetesting, but I'm down to try. I'm not very familiar with Zam save for her appearance in Attack of the Clones, though.

Athenais (imagine I added the special characters)!! like I said above, I still have no idea what happens in Veilguard lmao. but if you're willing to put up w/ that I'm happy to finagle some sort of AU or idk Parallel Universes nonsense.

[personal profile] hedoniste 2025-09-15 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
ignore my wrong journaling BUT YES, i think we could wrangle a cool AU out of this and i can bridge the gap with my bg3 knowledge 8)))) potentially kick it back to inquisition era, also, with some veilguard lore for flavouring

hi! i think the iron bull and astarion could be really complex cr (happy to elaborate if you aren't dai familiar). I'd be interested in a thread focused on intimacy and sexual incompatability/negotiation and character dynamics as much as high adventure, but i do also know and love faerun and bg3.

[personal profile] nibbling 2025-09-15 03:28 pm (UTC)(link)
i played through dai fully Once and partly a bunch of scattered times, which is to say i'm far from an expert on the plot but i do know my mans bull and i agree they could have an interesting dynamic! it's been a hot second but i'm happy to refresh my knowledge and do some sort of au or mishmash with inquisition. i'll shoot you a pm momentarily so we can hash things out.
