About Old School RP
Do you miss the old days of role-playing, when people worked for story lines and didn't expect things handed to them on a silver platter? Do you miss the days when games were about posting threads and logs, not LULZ AIM chats and macros? Or about content and plot, not about popular faces and who has the best icons or layouts? Remember when the word 'critter' didn't get thrown around?

Do you struggle to find places to advertise when communities like ~rps and ~pbads push your ads off the page within hours? Do you wish you could find games like that still and don't know where to look for them? Welcome to Old School RP. This is the ad community you've been missing.

Sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly and alive than the world you actually live in.

Since the dawn of time, storytellers have enchanted audiences with their words. But there is an even rarer gift. There are those who, by reading out loud, can bring characters to life. Out of books and into our world. Most of these people prefer to keep their skills a secret but some do not even know this gift is theirs, until it is too late.

You know how your story begins, do you know how it ends?
Have you ever invested weeks, months, or perhaps years into character development only for a game to suddenly lose interest? For things to go awry and you choose to part ways? Are you sitting in a game that you've lost interest in simply because you don't wish to lose all that character development?

If you answered yes to any of these questions then Spinning Compass is for you!

We at Spinning Compass allow character development from any game. From Insane Journal? Approved! From Live Journal? Approved! From Dreamwidth? Approved! It doesn't matter what journal format they come from, your character will be approved!

Credit
This land was ours before they came - The Shifters. Some say we brought this on ourselves, striving for more when we already had enough. Our technological advancements were admirable, but something went wrong. Monsters and strangers from unknown lands invaded our home. We retreated into the safety of our Dome and continue to fight for what is ours. This is our home.


The Shift is a dystopian panfandom set in a fictional, futuristic world.


NOW ACCEPTING HOLDS!

Chicago ain't never been pretty, but it just got worse when those wanna-be immortal assholes moved in. You know who I mean; the damned deities. They think they're hot shit, even though they're in mortal bodies now. Whole reincarnation crap, don't even get me started. All I know is that now they're running the show, just like they used to in the old days. And if you get tangled up with one, there are a million more who want their slice of the pie. My advice? Stay the hell away from all of them. It ain't worth it.

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , ,



Empire City is a multi-fandom game on Dreamwidth that is open to canon and AU characters in a plot-driven environment that offers ample freedom for character development and individual plots.

The setting of the game is fluid, offering various different locations every few months, but all with the distinct tie of being in some form of New York City - be it on other planets, in another dimension, or simply in the future or the past. Along with the malleable setting, Empire City offers open sandbox game play as well as game-wide plots of the mystery, horror, adventure, fantasy, and humour/crack variety.

We've been open since April 7th, 2012. Come and join the family!

When realities collide, even the gods don't know what they'll find...
fragmented


PREMISE || TAKEN || GAME || RULES + FAQ + APP

FRAGMENTED is a present-day, alternate-Earth, deities-based role play, based on the premise that parallel universes have parallel gods who share the same myth... but not necessarily the same history. DUN DUN DUN!

Hey players! Got an idea for a straight-up god with all his godly powers? Come on board! Reincarnated god just discovering your godliness? We've got your number! Wanna reprise a deity with history from a previously-played game? We want! No adjustments needed! Got a mortal OC? Hey, baby, looking good!

We're an easy-going lot, and we've got room for you. We'd love to see Nike, Bia, Kratos, and/or Zelos, and we could really go for some Sumerians too. Will you be our newest friend?

Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , ,




The gods have not faded away, or been reborn. They are not in high school. They have not forgotten who they were. They remember, because they still exist.

The Sumerians are still insular and superior, the Greeks still squabble amongst themselves more than they do with the other pantheons, and the Norse… well, with Loki on the loose and Ragnarok threatened, they have their hands full. How will they manage to coexist? How have they done so thus far? What happens when Anubis meets Hades? Or Thor challenges Nergal?

Come help us continue the myths.

Doors: Seeking Villains
Some doors should never be opened.

In the dark halls of a Las Vegas hotel, the grotesque and the terrible await. The Big Bad Wolf lurks behind a harmless cottage door. Lucifer schemes to open the Devil’s Gate once more. The Joker waits to bring chaos to a new, untouched Gotham. The Red Death yearns to breathe pestilence into a new ballroom. Voldemort anticipates his opportunity to strike out at a world that thinks itself rid of him at last. Dracula hungers for blood, and the sweet veins of his Mina. Frankenstein toils over a new species of monster.

The villains of fiction await in the Passages Hotel. They’re contained for now to the minds of their hosts, to the doors they inhabit, the worlds they dream of tearing apart. But what will happen when that all changes?

Will you be strong enough to stop them?

Seeking Villains From: Batman, Supernatural, Fairy Tales, Avengers, Spider-Man, Period Fiction, Star Trek, Dr. Who, Lord of the Rings, and more.

Almost Paradise: A Multi-Fandom RPG

Welcome to Paradise Island and Resort,

Maybe you finally booked that vacation of a lifetime, or maybe you don't have any idea how you got here at all. Either way, you can rest assured you'll have the time of your life. The resort provides every amenity but, if you are of the more adventurous type, feel free to explore the town or the wilder and uninhabited parts of the island.

Home? We wouldn't hear of you leaving. You are our special guest. And why would you really want to? It's Paradise.

If you require anything, be sure to let us know. We are here to make your stay absolutely memorable.

♦ The Management

Almost Paradise is a new pan-fandom game on InsaneJournal that is seeking fun, creative and dedicated players to join us. The game centers around an island that characters are brought to. Upon arrival each character finds themselves a guest at the island's resort. They can remain there, if they choose, or seek housing and employment elsewhere on the island.

Take a look through the navigation and feel free to ask questions of our friendly mods.

Game Opened Feburary 15, 2013
