PIMP MY PLAYGROUND MEME
Rec your favourite places to play

Have you been looking for new places to stretch your RP feet? Are you new to Dreamwidth and haven't got a clue of where to even start to find comms you might like to try out? Or maybe you are an old veteran and just always looking for new things to try out or just a little worn out of your usual stamping grounds? You might even just have a certain taste in the types of communities you play in but aren't sure how to find anything fresh. This meme is for us players to pimp and promote the comms we enjoy playing or writing in. You might want to promo your favourite games or dressing rooms, or maybe you're a mod and want to give a bit of a plug to your own communities to spark a little more interest. This is the place to do it. RULES: Note, this is for giving your comms a bit of a plug and offerings recommendations, it isn't an advert meme, so no game ads and no large graphics. Please just post the name of the communities, what their purpose is (game, dressing room, meme comm, muse prompting, etc) and maybe include a small blurb of why you like it or a link to a premise. If you are promoting a game, feel free to add characters or canons you might be specifically after.

Muse prompt comms & a new open RP/dressing room!

[dontrainonmyparade]

I'm very new to Dreamwidth, so this is a brilliant idea!

I would like to pimp three comms I'm excited about getting my new pup here out in more, especially considering I love prompt writing: musebysentence, muserevival and wayswithwords.

musebysentence is pretty self-explanatory. It's writing responses to prompts that go up weekly, but the fills are only one sentence. A good challenge in telling a story in a single sentence. It also offers open RP in response to the sentences, just like in a dressing room.

muserevival is a muse prompt writing comm. It has a good variety of prompts that go up weekly, including drabbles, ten lists, RP prompts, and ooc prompts.

wayswithwords is a brand new dressing room, open RP type comm like the others available out there run by the mods of the above two comms. Literally just brand new but I like the concept. It's open, and allows smut if that is to your preference.

All these comms have more information on their profiles, and the first two just recently moved over from LJ, which is pretty much a big reason why I came here. Check them out! :) I'm always looking for new RP playgrounds, so maybe I might see you there.

Seconded on these. Used the first two in my LJ days, and glad to see them over here now.

[justbeingaqueen]

Also :) Love them all. Will always be a muse writer before RP'er at heart!

[musemods]

Thank you so much for the plug! We really appreciate it :) We hope more people come along for the ride.

[slayers_desire]

What a wonderful idea. And I just started a new game on DW that desperately needs pimping too.

theuntakenroad is an multi-dimensional roleplaying game, including characters from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Supernatural and True Blood.

It is a RP game. And it will start off this weekend with fresh, new plot for anyone who is interested. I welcome any characters who are looking for a fun place to play. They can be from any of the communities listed above.

There is an application and some rule guidelines in the ooc community. untakenroadooc. That is also the best way to get a hold of me for questions too.

I'm looking over the comm right now, but I'm having trouble trying to figure out exactly what it is. I'm assuming only one version per character is allowed, but what's the concept of the game, exactly? What will my character be expected to do there?

[slayers_desire]

Thank you for your questions

It is a roleplaying game, where characters can interact with other characters. Right now I am working with players for a fresh overall plot to go with the game.

Players are encouraged to create their own threads, either to forward their own subplots, or to respond to plots that are ongoing in the game.

Most of the plot in the game will be self-made, self-generated and self-executed. It is a pseudo-canon game, meaning that gives you the freedom to delve a little deeper and explore your character past the shows limitations.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, I get that, but I mean, what's the concept of the game. For example: Paradisa is about a castle that steals you away and screws with your head while making you have 'losses'.

Where is this place set and how interactive is it? Is it a network game? Do the fandoms cross? Can you have two Buffys or three Erics?

[slayers_desire]

The concept is a fandom cross. (Hence why it is open to more than one TV series). I am working on a post to detail the main plot and concept, which will be based around the Seed of Wonder.

I don't limit the cast to one setting, letting their characters be established anywhere in America. The plot is driven so that cast are given reasons to travel, to explore new places and meet new people.

I encourage players to be as interactive as they want to be, exploring new threads, posting with other players and creating their own scenes.

While I do accept many different characters and concepts, I would prefer there only being one of any character (one Buffy, one Eric) to avoid confusion.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay. That makes a bit more sense. But, I'm not familiar with Seed of Wonder, so would that be in the synopsis?

[slayers_desire]

Yes it would be. I am on my work computer right now, so can't upload the nice new picture I made quite yet. But by the end of the day, I should have a synopsis up. And hopefully that will answer more questions for you.

A lot of my cast are really good RPers. They are a good group to interact with.

[slayers_desire]

New synopsis has been posted in both communities

the_library is a small game that had recently had a change in the mod team and is gearing up to start new events and bring in more cast. We're friendly to OCs and AUs. We would love to have some more people join our group. The premise can be found here.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact our mods or message this journal.

[x5452]

thegames is a panfandom game set in the universe of the Hunger Games. Seriously, you haven't lived until you've seen Donatello the Mutant Ninja Turtle kill Alpha from Dollhouse, or watch Eliot from Leverage team up with Tony Stark!

[retrieverchef]

And we really need some more of the past Victors. Any Katniss, Beetee, Brutus, Cashmere, etc want to app? Please?

thelucky13: The Lucky 13 is a list based prompt community. Let your muses join and make a list of 13 things. Topics out weekly (bi-weekly at the most. May change to bi-weekly depending on suggestions. I am always open to them.)

It's new, just getting it's start over here on Dreamwidth. Used to be on LJ until my life took a bad turn. I always had fun so hoping to spread that here as well.

[justbeingaqueen]

Awesome! I used to have characters over on LJ in your comm way back when. Will definitely be joining up and I'll point my friends in the direction too :)

It's great to see some of my old faves transferring over to DW.

[13mod]

I am still debating reopening on lj, but I'm over here more than there so lol

[justbeingaqueen]

The muse writing culture on LJ has died completely, unfortunately. It's a shame, because I always had so much fun prompting and met great people that way.

[13mod]

I figured there was no harm in trying over here.

[justbeingaqueen]

Not at all! And I really hope for all the people bringing these comms over to DW that it really works for you guys. I know I'll definitely take part.

[13mod]

I've moved two over lol

[itswhoyouare]

I'm so happy to see this community is back! I was in it back in the day on LJ and I missed it!

[13mod]

I missed it too and chose dw for now lol lj might come later.

[musemods]

Hi there,

I was wondering if you would like to affiliate with our three comms, musebysentence, muserevival and wayswithwords? We'd be happy to promote your comm on ours to flag more interest.

PS. You mentioned you had two comms coming over, we'd be happy to affiliate with both.

[13mod]

Sure! the other is actually right below, Pick the Music.

[musemods]

Brilliant :) I'll ad them just now.

[13mod]

And they are added to both!

[picklyrics]

Not sure if anyone remembers this comm back in the day on LJ. But it was a joy to run and had some amazing writers in it, so I import it to dw. The comm? Well it's pickthemusic. There is no app, no limit on how many you can have or how many versions. No requirement on doing a prompt, go with what creativity gives you.

[rocking_it]

scribbledress is a panfandom DR that tries to give people a lot of flexibility in their play. The premise is that any written noun becomes real (like in the game Scribblenauts). Write down "camel," and you get a camel, etc.

Characters can return home once they find a floating star called a Starite. This can be easy or it can be an adventure. Optional weekly themes are there to give people ideas. It's very much geared towards easy, casual play and repeat CR.
