First poll is located here

Please provide updates there in a central place, it's easier.

And please replurk this! Not all games advertise on rpa. I figure I'll do a monthly plurk when the polls go up once a month as well so people can replurk.

Do you list invite-only games?

I'm gonna say no to invite-only or closed museboxes because this is more meant for people looking over game lists for open games to see what's out there

Then I have no additional suggestions for you. Great idea though and good luck with keeping it up-to-date!

Thanks!

Do you plan to list short-term games (like most murdergames) or just longer-term ones?

::Plurk Frontpage Promotion::

Thanks for doing this, kind mod! I have one suggestion: how about making a separate section for so-called murder games, be it in the jamjar or as a separate kind? They're kind of specific in type, I think.

Oh ha, I see Pteryx beat me to it

Sweeeet

That's kind of iffy because the idea behind invite-only games is that there's someone to vet the incoming players

But in that case you'd know about the game via word-of-mouth. Which is how invite-only games would expect the word to be spread

The murdergames usually have ongoing rounds, correct?

Like even if each round is a difffernet thing, the games usually continue but do new rounds?

If they're ongoing they can count as a game. and iirc there aren't that many murder games and people looking for one would know to check the horror section

the gdoc directory can be the more complex listing, this is barebones basics so that it'll be easy to keep updated for a very long time

So I'm going to keep it a few simple categories and genres, because the more genres it gets split into, the more other sub-genres people are going to want.

As for invite only the list is meant for people looking for new games to potentially app onto. Invite-only is ostensibly meant to limit things to word of mouth

Are there even enough journal-based games around anymore to merit a section?

For someone looking for just a basic list of places to app, they usually just want a list of what's open

zitasaurusrex Route was the only one and apparently that's changing at the end of the month.

So the journal-based sections likely will be removed. But I wanted to leave them right now for the first poll just in case

Part of why it's split is so I can link each category to a corresponding poll comment when I do the polls

We'll see

Part of it was needing to see how many games we even had first

We used to have a lot more.

Will you be listing meme comms or is this for games only?

Right now I'm worried about just populating the list with the right info. I'll tinker around with organizing later

I think rpa lists the memecomms directly in the resources.

yooo

I dunno that murdergames can really be lumped in with all the other horror games. The essential gameplay is different.

What was out of date was a game list

They do?! I didn't know this!

how many murder games are there?

the essential gameplay is a whole lot faster in a murdergame than in a 'regular' horror game - it's a few months' worth of character development squashed into a few weeks

But how many murder games are thre?

Part of this is whether or not something has enough games to justify anything beyond a basic category. If it's just one game...

Dangan Roleplay, Trustfell, Seven Vices, and I know there are smaller ones

Right now only dangan was listed.

I know DRRP and TF run multiple rounds, I am not sure about SV

If there are enough to justify a genre section I can add it

I have nothing more to add, but you have my utmost respect, mod person. Public inquiries like this are difficult to manage on even the best days. I wish you all the best

doubling on that massive respect!

boomtown info is correct, ty for listing us!

thank you for listing my game!

though I was curious if only games of a certain size/etc end up on the spreadsheet or if there's a form/etc. for that

Wasn't Seven Vices a oneshot?

I don't handle the spreadsheet so I'm not sure.

A lot of people take a crack at that.

I think that's self edited

And we just had a very nice anon who said they tried their best to organize it recently

Thanks for this

Rather than "murder games" I'm going to do a "multiple round" game section

Just in case we get any that are non-murder flavored

That SEEMED to be the case, but I didn't want to fuddle with things

Are there any others besides dangan and trustfell?

I added those two to a "multiple round" genre section

Are any of them open rather than invite only?

can I suggest that you also make one list of all games? I understand why you've split them by categories but it'd be really great to see at a glance just how many games are currently going

Because it could be a multiple round/short run section but really this ought to be for open games

I may consolidate after I'm finished collecting

Right now if I switch it all the links on the rpa poll will break

First I'll collect everything. Then I'll see how much I can consolidate and simplify it

yeah that makes sense! ty for considering

There's that one beginning with C (I forgot the name, sadly) with the sci-fi setting that is a murder game, I think? Can't remember if it's supposed to be multi-round or not, though.

One shot would be okay as well as long as it's open to app in

People might want to find one shot short run games too

tough question. Dressing rooms tend to come and go a lot and are sometimes hard to monitor for activity so I think I'm going to say no

psychelocks I think that was called "Cradle Project"?

Games are a lot easier to do a once monthly "are these still open y/n" spot check

If someone else wants to organize a dressing room directory though I'd be willing to affiliate.

awestriker: That's the one, thank you!

that an open one?

And is that a one shot or a multi round?

as someone looking for a game, this is great. thank you!

You're welcome!

with everyone's requests for organizing and all that I'll take them into account once we have the basics down

I was actually expecting more games so I started it set up like gamedirectory was but our community definitely has dwindled

It'll probably all just fit in one page when I'm finished

thank you!

Thank you for this!

Medietas is a new game that just opened last month. ::is just one of the players, not a mod::

No prob guys. After this first organizing, it should be pretty easy to keep up. This is the hard part.

that fantasy?

Think that's a safe category to put it in. Islands are floating in the air because magic.

added!

drrp is limited but at least open so I'll leave it on the list

sekishi: actually, that's just gimmick rounds! :3 the main rounds are open to anyone

(the limited app slots apply to drrp as a whole, tho)

OK I have a thing to get to but you can keep leaving any feedback here and I'll check it when I'm back. I'd reccomend any new game recs be on the rpanons poll though so I don't accidentally miss anything

Thank you guys for the help, just getting the first up to date list together is the hardest part, after this, organizing and updating once a month should be a cinch.

idk about murder games being listed either tbh bc even though a lot of them are word of mouth, the point for most of the games is that they're closed and invite-only within a specific group

and friends can invite friends and so forth but in my experience, there's still a preference given to the immediate friends circle

and if there are any spaces left over, that's when it becomes open to friends and friends and so forth. and then in all of the games i've been in, when interest started to grow,

the mods would put player/character caps bc they're also supposed to be small games for friends.

i think DRRP and Trustfell might be different? But all the other muder/mafia games I've been have been pretty strictly invite-only.

i guess if you really want to put them up tho, there's a whole "other games" section they can go in???

iirc that is the case for some but I think if there's at least 2 it's worth it for the more publicly open ones

to have a category. Trustfell and drrp are pretty solidly open. There might be others later

iirc there's a few.... tentatively planned to go ahead this year that aren't invite-only but im not sure if they're still happening

Multiround games tend to come and go, there will possibly be more open multirounds in the future

And occasionally there are one-run games that are meant to be open, so the category is there

iirc Legion is meant to be a 1-2 year run but is an open game. If it was shorter, I'd put it as a one shot too, but I feel 2 years is game-gamey

But there are occasionally 6 month and 1 year games that sometimes pop up that aren't invite only

It's just every so often

as long as we have some might as well leave a multi-round/oneshot category there so it's there to add to

(and now I go for reals, bbl)

as someone still pretty damn new to dwrp this helps a huge ton. thanks for putting this effort forth.

hey

Multiple round sounds like a fair category. Thank you.

Oh cool Props to all of y'all for doing this

I'm surprised there's so few 18+ games

yeah, wow, those used to Rule The School

sweeeet

I've heard it suggested that a lack of 18+ games is some of why smut players are so possessive of bakerstreet.

Dunno how much truth there is to that, but.

Small suggestion, for the AU games, you should probably mention what canons (if any) they are based off of

with additional details as appropriate

... from above: "with everyone's requests for organizing and all that I'll take them into account once we have the basics down"

dammitmasa There aren't many AU games to sort through so I'm going to leave it as is

There are also panfandom games based on canons too like route that would technically merit the same treatment but the idea is keeping the list so simple as to be sustainable for

both my own future laziness and the laziness of anyone I may have to ever pass it down to in the future

If it's just the bare basics, we have a much higher chance of having a basic, up to date list lasting for ages.

So the less description or links the better. It won't be the most convenient but it'll at least be easy to keep it up to date and carrying on

Maybe it should be possible for people to post additional details in comments somehow? Something you personally don't have to do, although..

I could see idiots taking advantage of that and being asses, too, and then someone having to delete a bunch of spam

But if you had something like that it could just be an A B C D thing where people could post deets for their game maybe :|a

This is neat! And it's cool to see how many games we have of the different genres. Thanks for all the work!

There's still the google docs list to post more details to

it might be relevant to link that at the bottom or top of the monthly lists
