#selfship ttrpg

[companionwolf]

This is me being brave but uh selfshippers / ficto folks / etc -- I'm kicking around concepts for a solo journaling TTRPG about what it's like to have a F/O; if you want to contribute a idea of what you feel is a 'core experience' for that, please do so! Negative things are okay, btw -- a lot of my own experiences are negative.

Anyway, here's what I have so far (note these are pretty personal, and pretty ... not happy):

longing / yearning / etc

knowing there will never be physicality / you will never hear their voice / etc etc etc

in that same vein, loving someone you cannot touch/etc

imagining your f/o with you

leaving notes 'from' your f/o

the self love aspect

the use of this as coping mechanism (ymmv)

this as orientation (ymmv)

imagines (ie scenarios with your f/o), headcanons, etc

interacting with f/o source

community (or lack of)

dealing with feeling shame / being picked on or hated / etc

Thanks. Remember, your F/O loves you.

im not like. Too into warhammer. like i am a lore newb as far as everything goes. my knowledge only goes as far as the few sources of warhammer lore ive been able to absorb from, but those sources are very few in number.

but i still really want to make myself a corvus corax model thingy and um. maybe. a warhammer s/i. or something.

I WANNA HEAR ABT YOUR OC F/OS! I LOVE LOVE OC F/OS! May I ask how they became f/os? Did you create them specifically to ship with them or did you make them and then went “whoops, im in love with them now” bc both have happened to me XCTFYVG

So I only have the one OC f/o, which is Chae-Yeong!

I don't really make f/os just for the purpose of shipping, I'm first and foremost a storyteller so any OC I make is bound to mainly be for some story or something similar. With Chae-Yeong, she was originally made for a ttrpg that I was running. I wanted to flesh out the lore around James since he was going to be a key figure in that, so she was made as a member of his team as well as another significant figure in Atlas/Mantle

My original plan for Chae-Yeong was the ship tease her with James, with the two of them having been exes and currently being best friends. This ended up changing tho as I got into making stuff for them until I decided that they're in a secret relationship

In some ways, Chae-Yeong and James were kinda a proto-selfship for me, with Chae-Yeong being a bit like a self insert tho we're not an exact match. tbh I do still enjoy writing for the two of them together a lot more than I do either of them with Helena. At some point along the way as she evolved as a character tho, I also started to be in love with her, and she's really one of my fav characters ever. I love her dearly

Hello all! I've consolidated the responses so far to my call for 'core selfship / ficto experiences' in relation to my 'having a f/o' solo journaling ttrpg project-- I want to let you all see what's been offered so far and also explain a bit more about what a solo journaling ttrpg is! (:

That explanation and the ideas offered below the cut, because otherwise this is a long post. For anyone this post breaks on, please forgive me.

To start, what's a ttrpg? It's short of table top role-playing game, sometimes called a physical game. If you've ever heard of Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), you know what a table top game is!

For those who haven't, table top games are basically like if you took playing pretend and gave it some rules-- or didn't. The world of TTRPG games is vast and encompasses a wide range of games from super crunchy structured rules with Lots of dice and math to games that are less than one page and super loose and free-form-- some don't even use dice!

The difference here is that most people think you need a group to play tabletop games. And if that's the experience you want, that's true. However, clever gamers have made rules and ways to play games by themselves! Some people emulate the person who runs the game using a generator, while others do games more guided by prompts. This latter one is what I'm doing-- it's called a journaling game.

Journaling games have a basic core of the idea that you / your character journals their experiences as they play (or after, if you don't want to interrupt your flow). Usually the main mechanic is generating prompts off a list using dice or card pulls, but some of these games also include mechanics like ticking boxes off, gathering resources, and making choices.

I'm still trying to figure out what mechanics I want in my game. Obviously there will prompts, but everything else I'm workshopping-- right now I've been gathering data, in the form of looking at other solo games for how they handle their gameplay. Sadly none of the things I've looked at quite fit what I want, but they're useful enough that I've began a design document.

In terms of themes - I want to touch on longing, distance, intimacy (not essentially romantic), and self love/etc. I'm also toying with the concept of a eventual expansion that allows you to play as your F/O, but I need a base game first, so that's just an idea right now.

Anyway, here's what folks have suggested as ideas so far --

- longing yearning etc

- knowing there will never be physicality / hearing their voice / etc

- loving someone you cannot touch/etc

- the self love aspect

- imagines, headcanons, etc

- interacting with f/os source

- community or lack of

- dealing with feeling shame/etc or being picked on/etc for selfshipping

- dealing with jealously/difficulty 'sharing'

- aking things related to your f/o (example: wedding albums)

- easy source eod joy and comfort

- knowing songs and art f/o would like

- finding things that are stressful LESS so because talking about it with f/o would help

- the cute guilty pride of 'I like this character' 'me too I actually self ship with them'

- having a friend who understands when no one else is around (even if they are from media)

- daydreaming

- trying to get yourself to dream about them

- always knowing exactly what to commission someone for

- spending money on f/o related things (merch, other items that remind you of them, comms)

- selfship when the relationship is something you'd never want irl

- using selfship to figure out what you want (in a relationship for example)

- social aspect (assumptions people make, the selfship community)

- dreams about your f/o

- f/os helping against self negativity

- feeling like they're present in your life (and or imagning them with you)

- feeling insecure (bc you can't get confirmation f/o returns/would return feelings)

- freedom of headcanon and making S/Is

- becoming in a way part of another world

- never lacking someone to talk to

- the painful remembrance that f/o is not real and cannot really do X for you (X = have your back, for example)

- self generated serotonin

- becoming familiar with the shape of their face

- getting your daydreaming muscles back up to strength

- analyzing songs through a new lens

- feeling both love and loneliness in the community

- writing letters to your f/o (maybe even writing some 'back' from them?")

- buying clothes to say you stole from them

- feeling your f/o loves you no matter what and will be there for you always

- gaining comfort from your f/o on bad days

- being able to tell f/o anything, from interests others may find weird to traumas and beyond

- f/o helping you overcome anxiety and boosting self esteem

- creating because of your f/o (art writing etc)

- re above: selfship as a creative outlet

- the interplay of selfship and kin

- relating something mundane to your f/o and thus it becomes special

- using your f/o to motivate yourself ('f/o would want me to take care of myself')

- self made f/os aka OC f/os rather than media ones

- seeing your f/o get bashed or misinterpred

- fear of ridicule

- daydreaming but it becomes problematic (ie it interrupts getting important tasks done etc)

🌸 If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Let's get to know the person behind the blog. 🌸

I have written 7 drafts of a Yautja TTRPG based on the Alien VS Predator universe. I’m currently taking a break to work on a Selfship fanfiction before starting the 8th.

I own an elderly toy poodle with stomach problems named after a PBS Kids show I never watched but she’s so spry you’d never know that she’s 10+ years old.

And the only game I’ve ever tried to 100% was Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 during my edgy anime fan phase.

And because I’m bored, my favorite fictional universes are, in order from least to most liked: Warhammer 40K, AVP, Warhammer Fantasy, and any of the many universes I’ve made over the years.

Finally gonna drop my WIP selfship-run Fallout blog! ^^

@elis-radio

I'll be continuing to post Fallout (and especially Elisavet!) here, but I'm planning on switching most of that content to Eli's Radio, where I'll be posting all my art and fics!

Eli's Radio is a reference to Elisavet in my TTRPG Fallout campaign, she's currently the radio host for the game, as a way for my players to have direct interaction with a NPC with inside-knowledge of the current plot ^^

So-- If y'all see that pop up in your notes, it's just me ^^
