  • [MpM/F4ApF/M] "I don't play video games no more, I never play video games!"


    "Well maybe just a little bit o' Fallout 4, but that's not a video game!" [Male playing Male or Female for Any playing Female or Male]

    (Referencing the song "Video Games" by Tenacious D)

    So, what's this play about?

    More or less, you've been isekai'd into a video game. We can go with one you know a lot about, so you can abuse the mechanics and have fun with it, we can go with a game that can be easily modded and focus less strictly on the in-built mechanics for a more fun route while stuff is still grounded, we can go full scorched-earth and base almost nothing on the real world implications and instead focus more on the play actually being in the lore of the world at hand vs. actually taking place inside of a gaming mechine, or we can go with one you know almost nothing about on purpose if you want me to (more or less) casually explain the shit I know about it to you (since some of these games contain topics I heavily hyperfixate on).

    What games can I play in, then?

    Well, I've got a fair few, but some of them may not be quite to your liking due to the restrictions I place on some of them.

    1. Minecraft.

    This one is a pretty heavy mix of headcanon lore and realistic game mechanics for me. I really like the idea that all of the 9 default skins are each characters with their own personalities and backstories in some regard, and that they all exist in some kind of secret shared world ran on Mojang's computers where they're always on an up-to-date version of the Vanilla game, so having someone else with a new name and the same skin, or someone entirely new otherwise, suddenly poke their head in and look around, may just startle them. I don't mind also altering that a bit, like making it so that the default characters do have a bit of freedom on where they can go and when they can visit, but - for the most part - are relegated to their little shared survival world.

    2. Roblox.

    Yeah, yeah, cringe game full of kids and stuff. I won't be going that route with this - let me cook!

    Based almost fully on the retro aesthetic of the classic days, this roleplay would take place in a sort of hub that can take you to a bunch of other classic worlds, kinda like Roblox's "The Classic" event they had semi-recently, but far less shitty and taking you to games that are actually classics. This would follow a sort of run-down/abandoned vibe, like you're playing in a genuinely ruinous/unused part of the game that's not been seen in a long time.

    Slightly similar in vibes to the "Teeny Toys Exploration" ARG, which I highly recommend giving a watch if you've yet to see it, but following the game visuals part a little less strictly. Blocks, in this case, would actually be partially crumbled, have formed growths like moss/lichen, etc., making it more like a real-world sized build that had been abandoned, versus something at lego scale. This would make for an interesting change in games like Welcome to Roblox Building, where it is at lego scale by comparison, meaning that the ruinous nature of such massive walls could have a lot more changes to the environment than just the people-sized buildings being gone.

    3. Club Penguin.

    Yeah, another kid's game. Again, let me cook!

    This would also vaguely follow a similar premise to the "Teeny Toys Exploration" ARG, but in this case, it would be closer to an actual experience of just being online while stuff is all meant to be offline. A bunch of missing or misplaced assets, some stuff being corrupted in various ways, meeting others only to find out that they're actually the game's mascots but with various things misplaced, etc.

    4. Animal Crossing: New Horizons.

    I'm not quite as keen on this one, both due to how some people sexualize the characters of the game, and due to the fact that I've played none of the prior games, and my knowledge of their functions is patchy at best. I may make references to Mr. Resetti, or even potentially use him as a mechanic for a plot twist that changes things up a lot, but ultimately, this one is a little finicky for me.

    Basically, before you even think about reaching out for this one, read my preferences sheet first! If you don't, and I see even one kink that I find to be ick, we'll likely be done for a while!

    5. Team Fortress 2.

    Disclaimer before you read any further: I have not read the comics, and have no reasonably priced resources to obtain said comics!

    Now, with that out of the way...

    I do know a fair bit about the mercs and their general personalities. That's not to say that I wouldn't potentially heavily butcher the way that they actually act, as ultimately, my own personality tends to bleed through into my writing from time to time, but I could play most of them fairly decently.

    That's honestly about all I've got to say for that one. Go nuts with the finer details if you'd like.

    6. The Amazing Digital Circus.

    "But Guy, that's not a--!"

    "Shhh..."

    "But it's not--!"

    "Shhh, darling... Shhh..."

    Yes, I know this isn't a game. The world itself is based on video games, however, so I'm counting it, whether you like it or not.

    Now, given that this roleplay is based on an unfinished series, I will more than likely be interjecting bits of headcanon and theory into the mix. If you don't want that, and want to solely focus on how the story should actually go, reach out to me again when the series finishes so long as the roleplay is still open. If you don't care and wanna nerd out theorizing OOC with me as well, we can fuck around and have fun seeing how many of our predictions were actually right and how many were fucking absurdist bullshit. (I do this to have fun, and do not want to start arguments over headcanon and theory.)

    7. Deltarune.

    Another unfinished thing. Same warning as TADC; I'm gonna use headcanon and theorize to make false future chapters based on information that we don't currently have.

    8. Undertale.

    I'd also be willing to do AUs and fan games with this one. XP

    ... anything else?

    Nope! Feel free to reach out! 😄
