How Do I Use Playa Reputation on RolePlaya?

The short answer: Playa Reputation lets the big moments of your stories spread as rumours, so characters you have never met may already have heard of you. Turn it on by editing your Playa in the Playa Manager and ticking Reputation. Each Playa has its own reputation, and you can hide any rumour you do not want spreading. It is a Bit of a Playa and Total Playa feature.

How to turn it on

Open the Playa Manager, or edit a Playa from My Playa in a chat.
Tick Reputation and save.

It is off by default, so nothing spreads unless you choose it.

What spreads

The dramatic moments: romance, betrayal, heroism, violence, kindness and mischief.
Always as vague, secondhand gossip. Never the details, and never anything intimate or explicit.
Characters bring it up when it fits, in a flirt, a confrontation or an argument, and react in their own way.

Seeing and hiding your rumours

Every Playa card in the Playa Manager has a Reputation button. It opens your rumour ledger: what has spread and which character it started with. Tap the eye icon to hide a rumour, and characters never mention it again.

One reputation per Playa

Reputation belongs to each Playa, not your account. What your villain did never follows your romantic lead. If it is on but nothing has spread yet, your stories have not had a big enough moment. Keep playing, word travels. Characters in the same World also hear about each other’s time with you, as explained in the Worlds guide.
