The Future is Now - Ten Years Later

It's been years since we said Goodbye Despair Academy, and we've had all kinds of adventures in the meantime! But today, Monomom and Monodad are getting the band back together for a very special reunion.

You've heard of the Ten Years Later meme - but we're here to bring the first one that actually takes place ten years later (we know, we can't believe it either).

It's been a crazy ten years, filled with laughs and murders and golden ends galore. But we're going back to the beginning, and we want to invite you to come with us back to where it all started.

What: A Ten Years Later Dangan Roleplay Reunion!
Who: All past players and characters from the main three canon rounds of Dangan Roleplay! (if there's demand, we can also provide a separate mingle for gimmick rounds, but for the main log we're sticking to the "canon" only.)
When: November 30, 2023 - mark your calendars!

I didn't play in one of the canon rounds/wasn't murdergaming then, can I still participate?
Yes, under certain conditions! One way is to be recruited by one of our original Despair Veterans to play a castmate for them!

The other way is that we will be opening sign-ups for characters from Danganronpa and Super Danganronpa 2. Priority will be given to anyone who played them in the epilogues for a canon round, but if the spot is still available by November 28, then we will allow new volunteers. The reason the deadline is before the day itself, is so that someone who may not have been in the canon rounds can have a chance to familiarize themselves with DRRP lore and to ask Lynny and Ri any questions they may have, while still giving our old friends who took some of the NPC weight off our shoulders back in the day over a week to step back into those shoes.

I don't play that character anymore, do I have to bring them/can I bring someone else?
If you've dropped a character/lost a journal/just don't think you can find the DRRP voice anymore, that's fine! Participation is completely voluntary, and this is all just for fun!

Availability for other characters is subject to the same conditions as players who didn't take part in the canon rounds, with one additional . You can sign up as a castmate of a returning character, volunteer to play a Danganronpa character, or - where applicable - play a child of your character in absentia of your original character. We only ask all original children that aren't just being played as an extension of their parent/babe-in-arms be at least 5-6 years old, aka of an appropriate age to be running around causing chaos on their own.

Is the blood still pink?

Yes.

Is this a stealth launch for a reboot/round 4?

Not at this time. We know you're disappointed but we mostly just wanted to put together something for the anniversary without rushing to throw together an entire game and risk creating an unsatisfactory experience.



Ready to get started? Dust off your character journal and fill out the tempate provided, then start plotting! You can absolutely stack more than one character in a single toplevel, as well. We're the cool mom and dad.

ENDGAME ENDGAME

Hello and Congratulations to Dangan Roleplay: Nick vs CN's survivor pool! You've overcome many challenges, surmounted every obstacle in your way, survived the unsurvivable...

But now it's time for endgame.

Obviously there will be no AC for this week. However, in order to get the best ending possible, there has to be 100% tag-in contribution by all 7 survivors, for both the Investigation and the Trial.

How is the investigation going to work? you ask.
Pretty much the same as the others, we reply. With the exception of the fact that the 7 survivors are going to be split into two teams.

Team A/Red Team:
Muriel
Steven
Sokka
Marinette

Team B/Blue Team:
Vegeta
Ren
Zoey

We'll provide a map of the area you'll be investigating soon, so that the teams know where they'll be investigating.
EDIT:
The area of investigation will be a heretofore unexplored area. We ask that all 7 survivors comment on this post to confirm that they've read it.

Any questions can go here or feel free to ask on the mod plurk!

It's MMMMMMOTIVE DAY

Hello, Nick vs CN! Congratulations, the wall is down and that means no more challenges! However, Housemaster Monobear does have one last motive up his sleeve before we head into endgame! Without further ado...

Natural Instincts!

This is another one of the classic sickness motives, and as the name would imply it's specifically most effective to non-humans. There are three classes of severity, ranging from asymptomatic to severe, and within reason you're welcome to mix and match symptoms as you see fit!

Asymptomatic
The only characters who can be truly asymptomatic are the humans (Sokka, Muriel, Marinette, Wirt). Characters who are part-human may start asymptomatic, but should be showing some illness by the end of the week.

Mild
Fatigue
General flu-like symptoms (fever, achiness, loss of appetite)
Confusion/disorientation
Mood swings

Severe
Hallucinations
Loss of control of powers (keep in mind setting restrictions on powers when applying this one)
Delirium/memory blackouts
Feral state

The IC post will go up Tuesday, as usual. The effects will fade on their own on Friday after the murder. If you have any questions, ask them here or ping any of the mods on Plurk!

s is for secrets

Well hello, m'lovelies! With the number dwindling and horrible, horrible clues about the story behind Monobear's Home creeping toward the light of day, we mods have decided to bring back an old staple as far as motives go:

Secrets

 

In the past we've been pretty handwave-y as far as this motive, letting you guys do your own thing and so on and so forth. This time however we're doing things a little differently! 

Starting Tuesday (6/28), Monobear will pick the name of a surviving member of Monday's challenge's losing team at random and read their secret out loud to both sides. What we need from you all, the players, is this: give us your milk secrets. The comments on this post are screened so only the mod team will be seeing them so make them good, ya'll. 

Feel free to list multiple secrets for us to choose from but be aware we'll either go for the absolute worst or the most hilarious, there is no in between with us. Make sure your secrets are submitted by Monday night (6/27) at the latest!

NOT JUST CARTOONS



Heigh-ho,  and welcome to the Nick vs Cartoon Network gimmick round! Looks like you don't have anywhere else to go, because you've found yourself inside of Monobear’s Home for Orphaned Bastards! There, you'll be spending your time going through both a terrible and nostalgia-laden time, courtesy of your four very Delightful Moderators From Down The Lane!

The game is slated to start on Monday (5/30), with a mingle log going up at that time. Characters will find themselves waking up in Monobear's Home and will likely find themselves freaking out just a...tiny bit. Good for them!

But before we send you all off on a murder vacation, let's get to know each other a little better, shall we? Feel free to use this post to introduce yourselves as players, plot with each other, screech incoherently, wonder what your characters did to deserve this, the whole nine yards. And don't forget to leave your contact information, should you want to give it! AIM, Plurk, what particular shorthand you use when sending out smoke signals, whatever's good.

Again, welcome to the game, and have fun!

Nick vs CN Test Drive

Nick vs CN Test Drive


Guidelines
Welcome to Nick vs CN's test drive! In lieu of a Mock Trial, due to this round's length, we'll be keeping this test drive open until the opening of the game this coming May. Reserves open May 5th, and you can use 20 comments (from your character) on the game's application! Otherwise, this TDM is here to help you figure out how/who you might want to play, and can help you get to know some of the players in the upcoming round. Don't feel like you have to apply just because you play on the TDM!

This post is, however, exclusively open to characters who fit the round's character guidelines. In other words - Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network characters and other characters who have appeared on these networks. It's recommended, but not required, that you list your character's network in the header of your prompt, particularly if it's not immediately obvious. Hit up
[plurk.com profile] monomods if you have any questions about character choices or anything else!

1) Arrival
You wake up comfortably enough in a nice-looking, if somewhat childish, bedroom. It's well-furnished and decently roomy - there's even a bunk bed for possible sleepovers! The only problem is that even despite the sense of familiarity some might feel, this clearly wasn't the room you went to sleep in the night before.

Welcome the Monobear's Home for Abandoned Bastards! It may take a few minutes to gather your bearings, but you'll eventually stumble into the seemingly infinitely large house. If you look hard enough, you might find an odd electronic device somewhere on your person - giving you access to 20 different "student profiles". It's time to figure out just where you've ended up, now isn't it?

2) Get Motivated
IT'S MOTIVE DAY! What's going to drive you to kill? Drive you to end of the chain? CONGRATULATIONS, IT'S HAPPENING TODAY. Either nab a motive from any of the previous rounds or invent your own!

3) Kiiiiing's Gaaaaame!
The motive is here, hump day has arrived and you're ready to blow off some steam. Time to come together and let the ridiculousness flow. Throw a party, play truth or dare, break out the board games! Or, as suggested, give the ever popular King's Game a try.

4) Hard to Say Sorry
Preschool shows never covered  "my close friend murdered your close friend and I feel guilty about it" in their early morning programming block.

5) Monomonomonomono
The monomono coins are in and it's time to cash them in. You insert your coins one by one, hoping to get something useful this time. The pod rolls out and- oh. Well that's a thing. And then there's another. And another. And another. They pour out of the machine and before you know it you have 20 of these. What do?

6) Wild Card
None of these options appeal to you? Make your own! Trip death flags! Set an effigy on fire! Just do it!

let's see how far we've come

Hey, guys! Guess what, we're at the 2 year anniversary of the start of Dangan Roleplay Round 1! It's a momentous occasion, and we're thrilled that you've stuck with us for two wonderful years of despair-inducing, hope-giving, Kirei Kotomine-laden murder-time. We've been through 3 main rounds, 1 gimmick round and 1 guest round, and each one has been an absolute treat for the mod team to run and observe, and each member of the individual playerbases has been absolutely adored.

...That being said, you don't think we're going to let that date pass over without mention of a big announcement?

We're going to be doing another gimmick round. This round will have the theme of Cartoon Network vs. Nickelodeon. 10 Nickelodeon Characters and 10 Cartoon Network characters. What sets this apart from normal gimmick rounds, aside from the player-count, however is the twist that this is the first murdergame where these groups will be competing against one another, and more distrust will be stirred up than ever. That's right, everyone, two murder games for the price of one! Happy late Black Friday, lovelies.

"But, Monomods," you ask. "Surely, a game this complex would require a heftier amount of mods, right?" You're entirely correct, hypothetical reader. Not only will the normal mod-team (Lynny and Ri with art helper Chi) be modding this but after a highly successful turn modding Smash Ronpa, we're also going to be bringing on Lepo and RandomProphet as guest mods once again! We're going to be releasing more details on this in the coming months, but it'd be best to start preparing yourselves for a murdergame that's going to be absolutely slime-soaked.

Short steps, deep breath

We're closing out the final week of Round 3 of danganroleplay, and with that brings what you've all been waiting for...endgame! We hope you guys have had a good time so far, but all good things must come to an end. BUT WORRY NOT. We're in the home stretch, and that means that the next few days will be crucial in deciding just what sort of ending your story gets.

To that end, first thing's first. Please read the following information carefully!

MY CHARACTER HAS MANAGED TO MAKE IT THIS FAR, SO NOW WHAT?

We're glad you asked sonny jim. If your character is alive, that means you're on your way to the final trial of the game. However, it's going to be up to the final eight survivors to investigate the final mysteries of this accursed hotel before confronting the mastermind themselves. How well you do will determine what sort of ending you earn. In addition to the standard good ending of the rest of the survivors...you know, surviving and escaping the hotel, there are also multiple ways that the game can end badly. You can also earn a better ending for yourselves, depending on how you perform.

BAD ENDINGS?

Yes! A bad ending can be as severe as the rest of the survivors facing execution in the final trial, or...well, bad in a wholly different way.

...WHAT KIND OF CRYPTIC-

ANYWAY MOVING ON.

SO HOW CAN WE AVOID A BAD ENDING?

We have several IC and OOC objectives that must be met in order to avoid being locked into a bad ending. All of these objectives must be met to obtain a standard good ending. They aren't going to be easy, but not impossible. As much as we love seeing our players despurr, we do want to see you succeed and get the best ending you can; however, you will ultimately get the ending that you earn. No more, no less.

WHAT ARE THE IC OBJECTIVES WE NEED TO MEET?

The days of graduating by offing your fellow man (or woman, or dog, or w/e) have passed- this time around, things are going to be a lot harder. We have multiple mysteries that must be solved in relation to the hotel: how you got to where you are, why you're there in the first place, and what happened to your memories. Of course, the biggest objective is going to be properly identifying and confronting the Mastermind using the clues and evidence found during the final investigation.

WHAT ARE THE OOC OBJECTIVES WE NEED TO MEET?

This will be explained in further detail below in Da Rules, but there will be a 100% participation rule in effect. You have to tag into both logs- the investigation and the final trial- and meet our participation requirements to count as having been "present" for the log. If you don’t meet the 100% participation rule, then the entire class is considered to have not met the requirement and will be locked into a bad end.

We're also enforcing a 100% completion rule with regards to the "storyline" or your IC objectives. If you don't manage to solve everything, then it's not going to be pretty.

There are no saves, strikes or failsafes. You get the ending you earn, and there are no do-overs.

WHERE WILL THE FINAL INVESTIGATION TAKE PLACE?

HERE'S A HANDY DANDY MAP FOR YOU! This is not, however, an additional floor. This is the basement:.



You will arrive via elevator; there aren't any stairs leading into the basement. The elevator leads to a courtroom different from the one previously used for trials. The original courtroom was located in B1: this area is B2. At the far end you will find a pair of open doors leading into a long hallway. This is where your investigation will take place, along with the colored areas marked on the map.

ANY RULES ABOUT HOW WE CAN INVESTIGATE THIS AREA?

Similar to the final investigation of the previous round, we are going to ask that you split up into groups of three to investigate. We do not mind how this is done or who goes into what group, we just ask that you please do so.  We also ask that one of you let us know who you've decided to be in what group in the comments on this post.

BUT WE...HAVE EIGHT...

Liv Tyler/Bun Hutchinson will count as one of your party members, which will bring your count up to 9.

OKAY, SO WHAT ELSE CAN WE GET AWAY WITH?

Even though things have changed up for the last week, that does not mean you are allowed to break the rules. Punishments can and will be carried out on guests who break them, so doing so is not advised.

NOW THAT WE'VE FOUND THE EVIDENCE, WHAT DO WE DO?

Once the investigation has drawn to a close, you will be called to the courtroom to commence the final trial! Here, you will be responsible for solving the mysteries of the hotel, as well as uncovering the Mastermind's true identity. Only then will you learn just what your fate will be.

I STILL HAVE QUESTIONS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN ANSWERED!

Fear not! Feel free to ask us any further questions in the comments!



Secondly (and thanks for sticking with us through alla that) Here is the current schedule of events for endgame!

DANGAN ROLEPLAY ROUND 3 ENDGAME SCHEDULE


8/6: The Monomono Machine will be cleared out and closed up for the round. Hoard up on your useless junk before endgame. Additionally, no AC post will be made for the last week of the game.

8/7: The Final Investigation log goes up. You will have the entirety of Friday the seventh to investigate.

8/8: The Final Trial log will be posted on Saturday.

8/9: There will be an Epilogue Log post on Sunday the ninth that will be determinant on the achieved ending.


Da Rules


Because it's endgame, we're tightening down a lot on the rules that are already in place. All of the rules on the rules post still apply unless directly contradicted by this post. This means you still have to watch your conduct, play nice with each other, and stay IC.

1) The Final Investigation/Trial will require 100% participation. Additionally, we're upping the participation requirement - in order to meet the OOC requirements for completion, each character must make at least 15 comments in both the Investigation and the Trial. This means that your final requirements will be 30 comments per character. If you're going to be completely absent for any of the dates listed above, tell us now and we will work with you. We're strict, not cruel. If you don't keep us filled in on what's going on, we will consider you in breach of the 100% participation rule, and the class as a whole will be locked into a bad ending.

1-a) While the OOC requirements are mandatory in order to qualify for a good ending, meeting the OOC requirements alone is not enough to guarantee a good ending. If you meet the OOC requirements without completing the IC objectives, we will give everyone a bad ending. Likewise, 100% completion of the IC objectives is meaningless without 100% participation. Work together and give 200% to beat the twisted evil things!!

2) For both the last trial and the final investigation/graduation exam, there will be no saves, strikes, or failsafes. A bad ending is entirely possible, and if you get one, that's it, game over. You'll have plenty of time to beat the twisted evil things if you work together, so this isn't "mods vs. players". You get out of endgame what you put into it, and we fully expect you to earn your happy ending.

Lastly, we want to say thank you all for making this round as awesome as it has been. Dangan Roleplay is only as great as its players, and we hope you've had half as much fun as we have. Stay safe, have fun, and let's make endgame the best we can make it!

WEEK 3 WEEKEND ASSUMED CR/CHARACTER STATUS

What the title says. A few of us noticed that last week, since we jumped straight to Monday from Friday's afterparty, we have a bit of black hole in the weekend as to what's been going on with our characters! I was talking with Alex about getting up a player-run weekend log, but it'd be way too rushed to do that now.

So, for this weekend at least, here's a post where you can hash out with others what your character's been doing before Monday rolls around! Who've they been hanging out with? Has their general mood since Friday improved, stayed the same, or gotten worse? Whose room have they been sleeping in, since sleepovers seem to be a thing? Have they been seen anywhere mostly, like the gym, or the media room? ...Have they been avoiding anywhere, cough ice room.

Whatever you think is relevant or whatever you need to discuss, go ahead! Talk away!

welcome to the hotel monofornia (such a lovely bear, and he's everywhere)

Goooooood day, darlings, and welcome to Dangan Roleplay Round 3! You survived the reservecopia and app process to land a spot in Hotel Murder for the next few weeks. We mods are ecstatic to see old and new faces among our cast this time around so let's get this show on the road!

The game is set to begin on Monday (6/15) with a mingle log where characters will wake up in their own personal hotel rooms with no memory of how they got there and a shitty stuffed animal telling them to go off each other to go home. How fun!

But before we send you all off to the Hotel Monofornia, let's get to know each other a little better, shall we? Feel free to use this post to introduce yourselves as players, plot with each other, screech incoherently, wonder what your characters did to deserve this, the whole nine yards. And don't forget to leave your contact information, should you want to give it! AIM, Plurk, what particular shorthand you use when sending out messenger pigeons, whatever's good for you.



Once again, thank you all for being here and welcome to Dangan Roleplay!

4, 3, 2, 1, SMASH!

Introducing Smash Ronpa, an upcoming gimmick round, with official dates to be announced at a later time. This Super Smash Brothers-inspired round is open to characters from first and second party Nintendo series, as well as third party series that have playable characters in Smash. As with the previous gimmick round, there will be 15 slots available.

This is also Dangan Roleplay's first spin-off round, meaning that not only will this game be out of continuity for the great DRRP universe, it will be run by a pair of brand-spankin-new mods! This round will be run by Ran, who played Cynthia in Round 2 and Lepo, who will be playing Wario in the upcoming Mock Trial. They'll be overseeing everything like a pair of god-like Hands, and hope to entertain you to the Master Core.
