| General Drat looks like I missed my chance to app here. >.<; I have been wondering though...what other games are out there right now?

I've been out of the RP game for well over a year but I've definitely been getting the urge to return more and more lately.

Ideal game set-up would be something with extremely minimal to check-in AC because lol life these days.

Are there any fandom/canon-based games about anymore? Better yet, are there any games where your characters get shape-shifted into a different appearance (a la My Little JamJar or that Redwall game that I saw IC checks for)?

It kinda seems like those went out of vogue awhile back. Understandable I guess since there's pressure to know the canon and I guess players these days mostly want to play their character as is but idk I got the nostalgia bug for them.

I'm in Victory Road, the Pokémon game. Non-human characters are turned human and all are depowered, and they can choose to become trainers, breeders, or Team Rocket members

it's been going on in some form or another for 12 years now and it's still...going.

zoki. Oh dang I completely forgot about Victory Road. There's some other Pokemon game that just opened recently too, I think.

yeah. VR is a jamjar that doesn't allow canon Pokémon characters, A Faraway Place is a dressing room that only allows canon Pokémon characters

aside from that...yeah, there are very few games opening to the public these days. a combination of drama fatigue and better ability to serve up plot in a smaller invite-only game

YES, come to VR, Mew~

Yeah there’s VR, and I’m in one that’s check-in only called Kaisou. It has a cap for characters from their original universes, but you can also AU characters into the Kaisou setting

I’m at VR and the other one I’m becoming familiar with is Songerein which is a dreamscape game run by a former Empatheias mod, and has some thematic carryover, since iirc you were in Emp! So that might interest you

As for VR, honestly it’s really fun! A lot of stuff to keep track of but a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere overall

zoki. Yeah, it definitely feels like the RP landscape has changed quite a bit. Not that it's bad or anything, it's just different, which is fine. Especially since we're all getting older lol.

I a♥D♥o♥r♥y♥m♥ I've seen Kaisou on my timeline a couple of times. What's the general feel of that one? Looks like it's kind of a classic jamjar?

toonish Oh I'd forgotten about Songrein too. I think I remember seeing that one when it first started and for some reason I thought it was Invite-Only/Private. It doesn't look like it is now or maybe it never was and I just mis-remembered. I did have a great time in Emp and kinda miss that vibe. X3

Sort of! There’s a mix of OU and AU characters, and the AU ones can regain memories of their alternate lives. There are a lot of supernatural elements to it too, and events that happen due to openings to different areas of the Spirit Realm

It is an invite-only game, but it’s pretty relax and everyone’s pretty cool

Oh that's pretty cool! I remember AU games used to be pretty popular as well for awhile. Nice to see one with that aspect still kicking. ^_^

Yeah, it’s a lot of fun!
