Horror games and sex games would definitely be out, that's all I can say

the current state of DWRP is... bizarre. Games are actually on their way out it seems. Nowadays people want something quick and dirty, so meme comms are popular

that's not really the reason

it's more like DWRP's seriously slowed down as a whole so people take more to memes because they see them as less "high pressure" than a game

camington yeah I've seen people on rpanons talk about that and say how the "quicker" RPing has moved to Tumblr and stuff??

there are some people that rp faster but generally it's more acceptable to tag at a rate of a comment per day...ish

sometimes once every 2-3 days or later

Like I remember back in Ye Olde PD days reading how lightning quick some games were and now

Yeah now only commentind once or twice a day seems to be the norm

A lot of the old guard for games are closing or soon-to-close, like Animus closed and Asgard and Luceti are in endgame...though also a lot of games are popping up? A lot of horror ones though

there's a lot of serious ones rn because there was kind of a backlash against the "curse" style of events that kept less serious games going

SilverStilletto see ngl I wouldn't mind being IN a horror game but not with this character?

so you have a lot of plot-heavy games

and a lot of game makers tend to equate plot-heavy with dark subject matter

in slice of life you have holly heights still open though idk how it is, and route 29 which is pokemon

r29 doesn't often have events, but it has pokemon

i'm in ryslig which is horror-ish.

Yeah, I get what you mean

there's a couple of hard sci-fi non-horror games but they're plot-heavy/serious

idk if consignment's apps are open or what

I'm in Ryslig and Purg, which are varying levels of horror, and have been peeking at monad, which is also horror

eachdraidh isn't horror i don't think

it's....faerie court drama

there's empatheias?

a couple people i know are in it and they like it

I think that's not horror???

emp definitely isn't, i think that's the game where your feelings make things happen

mask or menace is cold war superhero drama

BNW is AU postapocalyptic Pokemon, though more 'rebuilding' than 'surviving'

XI is x-men AU

I have a game I'm working on and another game idea waiting in the wings but I don't know when/if either will get off the ground....

eachdraid is indeed fairy court drama

and it's actually an okay game for characters who don't have canonical superpowers or anything because politicking is a thing you can do and characters can learn magic

some of the events are a little spoopy but it's not horror

empatheias is emotions make stuff happen, yeah.

Route is probably the one I was mainly considering, but eachdraid sounds interesting too :s

go route if your character could/would be very active on a network

everyone's traveling around a lot so most of your activity will probably be from network stuff unless you get a really active travel partner

characters who aren't adventurous about chatting up strangers on their handheld device can be a bit of a challenge

yeah it depends on what you're looking for.

RC is still a thing, too, I don't know much about it but I've heard a little?

but if you do have a social character then there are really creative, fun, active players in route who you can build great cr with

If you like AU games, Wordspell opened a couple of months ago and opened beta apps to recs from current players! o/
