this is one i haven't seen before so like SURE
Unpleasant Bug
cast caps
curby&coughing
god it depends on the type of game. if the game is capped at a player/character cap, you need a cast cap or one canon will eat the whole thing
curby&coughing
if the game has no character cap cast caps are dumb
ArtIsArt
Agreed.
ArtIsArt
Um... Podcasting.
curby&coughing
like... in dwrp?? people podcast rp threads??
ArtIsArt
No, I misread.
ArtIsArt
Podcast icons.
ArtIsArt
Icons for characters from podcasts.
curby&coughing
OH okay yes so
curby&coughing
personally I prefer to use fanart for characters with no established image, but that's because I tend to get a very particular Idea of what they look like and I personally don't like PBs very much
curby&coughing
I really like a wide range of expression in my icons, and pbs tend to fall into like. modelface. and then i can't even commission other people to make more icons because I'm stuck with this Person
curby&coughing
like no shade on people who use PB choices! They can be really nice and i even have some PBs for podcast characters. but on the whole I very very much prefer fanart for my own personal icons
ArtIsArt
How do you feel about if they get an official look and it differs from your idea?
Terrifying
The genre of game that DWRP is currently lacking.
curby&coughing
ArtIsArt
I'm ok with it! As long as I like... can keep using whatever I want lmao. This happened in TAZ wth the graphic novel designs, because I'm really not a fan of blue Taako (I've always used a design with brown skin/light hair a la the DND sun elf that his character sheet is based on) but like, to each their own
curby&coughing
my only issue really is when people start running around like "X IS CANON AND YOU CAN'T DRAW ANYTHING ELSE' like my dude i can, will, and shall, fight me
curby&coughing
Terrifying
okay so bear with me here because I don't know if this is a genre per se but it's the only way i can describe it: I miss traditional, long-form, old school jamjars. Ryslig is the closest thing I have but truly I miss an ever-evolving world where you could play someone in a game for 5+ years and gain such a basis on the world and environment
curby&coughing
I'm talking stuff like Discedo, Ruby City, hell even like. luceti and other shit like that in the olden days. I really miss being able to settle into a game and make a serious home there in a world the characters could modify but really let them grow
ArtIsArt
aaah like luceti was.
ArtIsArt
YEah!
curby&coughing
YEAH
curby&coughing
like i'm biased because I was a mod at Discedo for a while, I fucking loved Discedo, I miss the just. everything of the evolution of the setting coming through when there was commitment from players and others
curby&coughing
I guess Deerington is kind of similar these days, but it's so fucking complicated and shit changes every 3 seconds and it wasn't satisfying for me lmao
ArtIsArt
Games don't have the same staying power.
curby&coughing
they really don't. and like I LIKE short-term games don't get me wrong, but I'm a slow tagger and I've always been. Murdergames are not even in the realm of possibility for the kind of energy I can put into rp. I want to be able to like... know I can play a character for maybe 3 or 4 years, get some real growth out of them
Terrifying
Oh, I feel you on that! The last game Kathryn and I modded with someone else was that sort of thing. It was a CRAU-only game that was basically a young god taking in refugees from DWRP and creating a home for them that they helped to build and develop along with the god.
curby&coughing
THATS SO RAD
Terrifying
It was a tiny game, but it went for... six or seven years?
curby&coughing
like the last time I had a rly good one like that was Hadriel when I took Alphys in at 2016 and when the game ended by 2019 she had changed so much I was so PROUD OF HER
silver bullet
what's your least favorite event
curby&coughing
silver bullet
I haven't seen one of these in a while but god I'm glad genderswap events have gone out of style lmao. what an unnecessary spectacle. never knew what to do in those
curby&coughing
also personally I don't like musical events but that's because i am piss poor at them
curby&coughing
Terrifying
that sounds so amazing GOD i wish i'd have seen that, damn
curby&coughing
i also like, in terms of stuff that's going in/out of fashion in dwrp, i'm so. fucking tired of sex games. i'm SO fucking tired of sex games. I don't rp smut, I don't want to rp smut, but it is just. all so many people want. like ngl I'm really glad I pushed past it and apped to apoc but terri I was so fucking terrified at first bc ya'll were in duplicity
curby&coughing
(I've had bad experiences in the past where people have refused to play with me or otherwise straight-up ignored me in rp for not playing smut, and like, smut cast games seemed to fill up like nuts while I was struggling for castmates elsewhere and let me tell you: I Was Fucking Paranoid!)
Terrifying
Oh! I'm glad you did.
ArtIsArt
I don't like sex games either. Sex-friendly is fine, but...
curby&coughing
i'm really glad I did too!! I was like. very very excited but I full ass spent the first idk two weeks around the tdm and applications having a heart attack because I didn't know Zalia but I knew ya'll were in dup and I was like. Hmmmmmmmmmm is me apping Martin going to be a problem or am I overreacting,
curby&coughing
like fully no shade on people who like smut! I'm glad ya'll have fun! I just wish it wasn't so omnipresent in dwrp.
ArtIsArt
I could've vouched for zalia had I known!
Terrifying
Yeah, no. I keep smut games and non-smut games very separate, personally.
curby&coughing
I appreciate you both so much im CRIES
curby&coughing
i just want more options that aren't murdergames/limited games or smut games. and the options out there are like... ryslig and deer at this point and even then deerington has pulled some weird events that kinda had me shuffling otu
curby&coughing
out*
Pie Fillinds
As both a smut and non smut game player, I just want to say I'd never shun anyone for not enjoying or RPing smut.
curby&coughing
thank you honestly, like... I know most people would not do this I just personally had a shitty experience and now it makes me paranoid lmao
Molly is tired✨
what are some of your favourite RP events to play? like memory shares, fear events, etc?
curby&coughing
Molly is tired✨
MAN good question... I'm a sucker for child events ngl just because I play a collection of people who would be little shit demons as children. same with memshares because it actually gets my fools to talk about their past even if they don't want to (and they never want to)
ArtIsArt
Man. You'd probably love FM.
Molly is tired✨
those are always so fun! kid events especially, because there's sometimes such a big contrast between their kid self and their current self
curby&coughing
yeah, i always love getting to explore different times in a character's life
curby&coughing
ArtIsArt
FM? O:
