July 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!

Looking for homes for the following

The Biologist | The Southern Reach
Liir Thropp | The Wicked Years
Mamika Kirameki* or Meteora Osterreich (both tentative)| Re:Creators
Reki* | Haibane Renmei
Yasaburo Shimogamo | Uchouten Kazoku

Preferences:

AUs are fine. Games with sexual content are fine for characters without an asterisk in front of their names but games where the plot centers around sex tend to not keep my interest. Prefer places where characters can have a big impact on the plot/setting and where less played/known characters still get tags. Pace/size unimportant.

Oh man, a Liir! It's been ages since I read the books, but it's neat to see someone playing him out there.

If you're looking for a home for obscure/less known characters in general, I'd like to toss up lostcarnival for your consideration. It's a faerie carnival where people can cut a deal with the Ringmaster to get a wish granted (or be involuntarily recruited into working) and you can app as a newbie or a veteran who's come back after some time away. Despite the premise, a lot of the focus of the game tends to be on CR/exploration, and there's some body transformation aspects that you can play up or down (a few changes are mandatory, but it can be dramatic or subtle).

I play a LCW who's a minor character there, and I've never had trouble pulling together tags or AC. In terms of affecting plot/setting, we've just wrapped up a pretty intense/busy plot so this month will probably be a little more relaxed ICly, but you can expect that to ramp up later. Our current test drive is here!

[aforethought]

"characters having a big impact on the plot/setting" is basically the focus of fade rift, a small game based in the dragon age (basically just high fantasy) universe.

characters can be AU'd into the setting, or show up from their own canon through a magical rift between worlds. because of the small size and large number of OCs we have, many people are LCWs, and there have been a number of them from less well-known canons who went on to do very well.

The focus of the game is an overarching metaplot to Save the World From Evil, which requires drawing support from a wide range of sources (politics, espionage, action adventure, magical research, etc) and working together on smaller monthly missions and tasks. Player plots are encouraged, and there's always downtime available for CR development if you want it.

I only know Liir, alas, but if any of that grabs your interest I'd love to see him or any of your dudes around the tdm.

good luck finding a good fit!

undergrounds could be a good fit! It's an AU urban fantasy game based around supernatural politics, and there's tons of scope for influencing the plot/setting (up to and including assassinating political leaders). Plus, we're very friendly to obscure characters. There's more info about the game over here if you want to check it out!

[buttwarmed]

I've seen Underground before and it's piqued my interest a bit. It seems like it'd be a good fit for Yasaburo, who's already a shapeshifter in canon. I'm also considering Jane from The Iron Dragon's Daughter, as a changeling, but that'd require getting a lot more familiar with the setting.

[bellbound]

Either of those sound like they could work! We've got an AU character workshop where you can post your thoughts and discuss with players in the game if you want to bounce around some ideas. Or I'd be happy to answer any questions that you have!

[buttwarmed]

Thanks! I'll post on that and the test drive meme as soon as this month's goes up too.
