Hello! Not sure if you've seen the news but just in case: Tumblr wants to sell user data to ai companies so the recommendation is to go to blog settings and toggle "prevent third-party sharing" (you have to do this on every individual blog)

hey! thanks for letting me know, i checked and they're all off so i must have turned them off bc of something or other back then

ETA: it has to be on!!!!!! the option is to PREVENT third parties from taking your data, if it's off in your settings you're allowing them to scrape your stuff

for anyone else reading this, double-check that your setting is off on too!

#anon #replies #thank you for checking in on me! i appreciate it

some more recent sketches

-soren's deceased brother was an anime nerd and while soren doesn't quite understand anime he did pick a fave to humor his brother (his fave is homura. his brother's fave is sayaka)

-did a character design prompt on twitter where your mutuals just give you whatever traits they want to see....i remember this was twintails, unhinged female character, pink eyes, gap moe and something else? anyways she goes around committing regicide and makes armour out of the crowns she's taken

-high school aus for the comm characters (ft new kid named saya but i'm not really posting about him much). interestingly there's a genre called 'high teen' in korea which is like...like slice of life? drama? set in high school (so high school musical would qualify)

anyways i hope all of you have been keeping well, weather's getting cold, take care

how do you normally find commus? :0

they're usually on twitter! but also 100% of them are korean, so you might be better off looking for an rp server on discord (that seems to be the equivalent here tbh)

i think actually commu could be very well substituted (even improved) by making a rp server over discord

now what i want to import next is the concept of indie trpg scenarios

#text #most of the ones i went to borrow the call of cthulhu system but are like....Not Lovecraftian #e.g. the PC must land first place at a dog show with the KPC who has been turned into a dog

Just wanted to say first off that I love your artwork so much and it’s so fun to just scroll through. I’ve also become curious about playing 커뮤/commu (or trying to put one together) and would love to learn more about how they work.

Like for instance, how do character sheets and classes/powers work for a system that seems very open RP-based? Is there a particular omni-genre sheet or system that people often use for 커뮤? Or is that that something entirely up to the admins?

Give my love to Nero, Soren, and ESPECIALLY Charlotte

in the end it's very much like an dnd server on discord! except it's public and usually very short term (7-30 days)

essentially a commu is like a tabletop rpg with as much dice as you want, the admin team is the dm/npcs, and you recruit members based on their character sheet that they submit based on the template you make

so the foundational pillar is the admin team, which:

does all the worldbuilding, including setting boundaries and parameters for the characters

sets an event schedule and/or sets up a plot -- there's some really casual ones you go with your friend you ship your OCs with where they do couple games, and then there's one i just got out of that had time loops and also forced us to choose between executing a bunch of innocent people and completing our mission which was pretty intense

basically you are writing an rpg one-shot module! it can be as complex or as simple as you want, i've gone to ones that had stats and ones that didn't. this essentially means that you are writing a whole system! so if you want to include combat, you...are probably making a combat system from scratch, which means you usually have to also think about balance

you also probably want to determine a rating. most of the ones i went to were pg13 but there's specific ones rated R for either gore/violence or ERP

often people make a temporary website with notices, world info, rules, character sheet templates, and FAQs

the admin also moderates. if someone's being unfairly left out, you give a general warning, for example, or if someone is being an asshole you give them one strike, etc.

then you make a template for applicants and essentially pick the ones you think will make for the best story. historically, this has caused some drama. there is so much drama in commu

usually the commus that incorporated stats had specific roles (dps/tank/healer) and you had up to a certain amount of stat points that affected your skills (so a dps character might calculate their damage by idk ((attack)d6)/2) or something). so the roles would be part of the character application template, and the applicant would distribute the stats how they wanted it

so yes, in the end, the sheet is entirely up to the admin, and the applicants generally get creative within the space you create! soren, for example, had a power ranking (A), role (tank), reason for participating in the commu storyline (he didn't care but his friends did so he's doing it on their behalf) but i made up his ability (turns into a gryphon) and stuff about his family, past traumas, etc.

while the commu is running, applicants generally RP with each other and make their own relationships and mini plotlines (soren is now bffs with another character because they both lost siblings/students) but the admin administers a scheduled plot to keep things moving (nero, for example, was part of a group that went around stopping monster dungeons around the world so every week the admins would say ok they're going to peru now. and then florida.)

while commus are usually short, sometimes they have like...seasons? one of my friends ran one based on the uma musume setting and recently they did a season 2 of the same commu with new applicants

back when twitter was whole, two comms i went to also had a sparring system using a bot and keywords (so you'd type [attack] or [evade] or whatever and depending on your character's stats, which the admin entered into the bot, you'd get an automated reply that gave you the result of your actions), gacha (same as above, and also included things like...pet eggs and equipment and whatnot), a store with potions/etc., i know one that had like literal mini-rooms with pixel furnitures that people could buy through currencies earned doing daily quests or whatever....that was really intense though lmao people usually do not go that far

commus also often have like....specific disclaimers written for good reason, usually to do with code of conduct and not being bigoted/being inclusive (unfortunately female characters often get ignored in rp, and also oh my god so much casual bigotry)

TL;DR making a commu is essentially writing a whole oneshot module that you're publicly recruiting players for! honestly though it is a Lot of work setting it up and then maintaining it even for the short time it runs

#long post #text #anon #replies #the one i just went to also had diff buffs depending on the rank since it was a military-style setup #since my character was a corporal he had a 1.2 buff to defense #also you would not believe the shit that goes down on commus #it has ended friendships and also has revealed people's asses #i'm so glad you like charlerusse!!!!!!!! she's my baby

[remington-zero]

Can I ask which table you'll be at at Otakuthon? :D

ooh yes! I'll be at K484 with a friend!

I'll have a bunch of XIV minion charms on top of the ardbert print!

[remington-zero]

an update on charms, i too have caught the tristamp bug

#wips #god help me i have meryl and knives too but idk if they'll get finished #since the other charm i Gotta Do is unit 01

[remington-zero]

misc oc stuff

i enjoy having them hang out together even though they're in technically separate universes/settings

#art only #nero huntington #charlerusse #soren fitzroy

[remington-zero]

and this is soren nielsen fitzroy, another extrahuman in a similar rp comm that ended recently

he has two cats named monet and renoir and lives very comfortably somewhere near banff

#soren fitzroy #art only #i really do enjoy like...extrahuman abilities that turn them into creatures #nero turns into a giant wolf and this guy turns into a gryphon the size of a percheron

[remington-zero]

this is charlerusse (charlotte russe)

she's from an rp community set in the distant future where humanity fled to the moon and also a subset of them are superhumans/extrahumans? it's a pretty popular genre in rp comms and i think korean webnovels/etc. in general (이능력자)

her superpower is that she can make motes of light that she can interact with physically, so kind of like building hard light constructs from dust particles

#art only #charlerusse #i don't have a lot for her unfortunately that i can post

[remington-zero]

going to be at otakuthon with a friend! making some xiv charms for it

#wips #oh they let us edit tags now?? nice #ffxiv #a lot of what i've been working on is like...group projects so to speak and zine stuff #i did participate in some rp communities though so i might post sketches from those
