August EMP Meme
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!

The Expanse!!
[fandom]: The Expanse
[game's current cast]: Just Jim Holden, right now
[wanted]: Literally anyone, books or movies. As far as helping Jim's mental health goes, would love to see the Roci crew, Bobbie Draper, Praxid(i/e)ke Meng; as far as destroying his mental health goes, Avasarala, Miller, etc.
[game info]: Okay. SO. Last Voyages is a game where people are divided into "inmates" and "wardens". Villains (or morally grey people who need to improve their lives and think about their choices) are "inmates", and are brought in at the point of death/possible death, so that they can be redeemed. Heroes (or anyone who can get their hooks into someone else and convince them to change) are wardens, there to redeem someone and get a "deal" for it, which is essentially a wish granted by the Admiral. (These categories can overlap and there are plenty of characters who could be either.)
I really really like this game, because it allows for a sort of built-in plot arc, and the game is focused on change, which means that the players can get really awesome and creative, and really into their character's psychology. I adore this goddamn place, I've been here years now, and the overall in-game environment has changed a lot -- every time someone new apps, they bring in an awesome new perspective and style and okay I'll stop gushing. I do want to emphasize: people who are willing to get out there and mess with their character do really well here, and people who are looking for more slice-of-life-y sometimes don't. There's no long-term plot arc, really, but there are large events about once a month, and those can either be ports where the ship visits a place, "floods" which are old-school fucking-with-reality nonsense, or "breaches" where the entire Barge is AU'd into a canon for a week or so and you get to come up with an AU backstory/etc. for your character. It's a good mix between serious and comical, imo -- probably a little more heavy on the serious, but not all one thing all the time.
But, re: Jim, currently: he's just arrived, he's from the end of second season of the TV show (but super willing to play off book characters, I only picked the TV show because it seemed to me that he had to work a little harder for the leadership position that was bestowed upon him in the books). He's still pretty freaked out from Ganymede. His current vaguely defined goal is to make it so that the protomolecule never shows up in Earth's system at all, so that humanity, if it discovers it, will only do so much later. He may change his mind on this. He's about to be warden-paired with an inmate from a sci-fi book who's a mass murderer, so that'll probably make him shit a brick or two.
Please let me know if you have any questions, even if they're not Expanse-related! I'm happy to inform more about the game.
