RPGC #30 - Celestial Lights (Prompt and discussion)

I was looking for this but turns out I was just early. I'll be entering this time around. Godspeed to everyone.

Roleplayer Guild's First Pet Pageant!

i'm not allowed into the pet pen that is rpgo, but i will enter my dog anyway

MFP #3: Wish (voting and feedback)

I vote for Fallen, even though I usually don't like religious motifs in my media, I think it gets across it's meaning especially well compared to some of the other entries. Others left me guessing as to what the intended meaning was behind certain things (if there was one at all) and while this is a stylistic choice I know others enjoy, I personally do not.

Best of luck to all contestants!

EDIT: and I think if there was an entry/prize for comedy, I think Regret would win that one. That one is very funny.

Just a thought

That could be cool, the initial idea, if it just stopped there.

Fantasy, SciFi, Mundane Modern

Laws governing moving from one to another and imports/exports. How would knowing that that green ball in the sky is a modern world change a fantasy setting? Or knowing that that other one is a highly advanced SciFi world.

@BangoSkank

Yeah, but at that point, you'd increase the likelihood of your RP surviving by actively not making it a PW. Both SW PW and the other one were made not because they needed to be PW's, but because someone decided they wanted a PW. I think that's the wrong approach -- there's no reason this couldn't be or shouldn't be a normal RP.

So perhaps that is really the question we need to answer; at what point would an RP benefit from being a PW and not a regular RP? When does an RP warrant an entire subforum of it's own, a process that due to the absence of Mahz, takes months if not years to be completed, and if the PW fails, we will be stuck with the subforum until he gets around to removing it?

Just a thought

@The Ghost Note minds, yes, if we can call them that.

Star Wars - Jedi Exile

@rivaan oh shit, that looks really cool! Nice work!

Video Games: The General Discussion & Community Thread

RTS is an equally fucky point of comparison when RTS games are notorious for turning into micromanaging nightmares on the highest level. Sure, it doesn't have to be starcraft II levels of bonkers micro, but watch TheViper play in AoEII and you'll see how he's just way better at pressing buttons compared to most any other player on top of knowing the game extremely well.

@Ammokkx

viper is a poopoohead, i'm a liery or yo boy myself

Just a thought

@Kassarock I do agree that it seems like a cop out. I don't want to create an expansive set of lore-threads for the world, so I will let the players do it.

A decent approach if you're building with lego's or something, where you just need to provide the building blocks for them, but a horrible approach when writing a roleplay, lmao.

Just a thought

@Kassarock It was slightly worse than that iirc. People were free to create their own worlds, which means that you had an infinite number of threads that would all be occupied by one player, because fuck going to other worlds if I can sit around on my own. There was also a sort of power balance scaling, whatever, where your power was measured in terms of whether or not you could destroy a city, world, galaxy, whatever the fuck. Shit was crazy. And it made no sense to anyone just looking for a PW rp.

It was basically arena RP, "but definitely not arena RP guiz trust me!" run amok.
