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.

Jun. 13th, 2013 @ 12:42 pm Remodel: A Postwarts trio era Harry Potter RPG

The year is 2001 and it’s been four years since He Who Must Not Be Named lost the war for control of the wizarding world. As the world moves forward and changes are being made, somethings will always stay the same. Young people just starting their lives will make mistakes of the professional and personal kind. The world will claim to embrace progress while fearing change and there will always be bright, idealistic people out there ready to turn the world upside down in the name of making things better for everyone.

[info]remodel is a trio era Harry Potter game focusing on the changing aspects of a post war wizarding world. A rebuilt Diagon Alley and a gentrified Knockturn Alley will set the stage for the lives of a younger wizarding world and their strive to make their own places in their world.

Jun. 12th, 2013 @ 12:38 pm The Reincarnates




Premise | Characters | Holds | Application | Rules | FAQ | Wanted

It's just like any other day, except maybe on this particular day you wake up with a bit of a headache. You think maybe it's just a hangover from that party you went to last night, and then you start hearing a voice inside your head. Are you going crazy? No. Are you imagining things? No. Is there actually a fictional person living inside your head?

Yes.


Reincarnation has been a world-wide phenomenon for centuries. Fictional entities taking up residence in the minds of unsuspecting people; sharing memories, histories, and abilities. It began in secret, but as the number of reincarnates grew in the world it became increasingly hard to remain unnoticed, or to exist together peacefully.

Congratulations, you've just become a reincarnate. Welcome to the war.

It's 2012 and the Reincarnate War has been waged for centuries. Camelot and CORE have been locked in an ongoing battle of ideals, with the neutral agent the Agency trying in vain to keep the peace. Acts of terrorism, fighting in the streets and heavy casualties on both sides have painted the reincarnate community red, until a battle that lasted the night named Camelot the victor. Survivors began to rebuild a community now in shambles, and the magic of reincarnation has shifted with the appearance of fictional territories all over the world.

Even worse, former members of CORE have formed a new terrorist group called the Resistance. Their attacks have been brutal, and among these attacks has come the outing of reincarnates to the public. Some have accepted it with a fascination; others, fearing change and the Resistance, have reacted in outrage towards reincarnates. Mundie governments are no longer cooperating with the Agency for the protection of the community, and a temporary alliance between the Agency and Camelot has been made to weather the storm.

Where will you stand? With the Resistance, aiming for reincarnate superiority? With Camelot, aiming for the destruction of the Resistance? With the Agency, working hard to keep together a crumbling world? Or will you chance it on your own in a world where reality is being literally reshaped below your feet? The choice is yours.

Join the war today!

    Jun. 10th, 2013 @ 04:00 pm Leaky Cauldron: A Soap Opera


    It's been 15 years since the Battle of Hogwarts, and while all has not been completely peaceful in the Wizarding World, people have gotten on with things. Life. They've forged careers and built families, lived through political reformation after reformation, and the memory of Voldemort's reign has dimmed among the general public. Nothing has been forgotten, but life has a way of moving forward even if people want to live in the past. Those who are smart move with time, and those who are not stay lost in the past.

    At the center of it all has always been Diagon Alley, guarded from the mundane world by the Leaky Cauldron. At one point or another, every witch and wizard has walked through the Cauldron, their lives a fleeting impression on the old walls. Secrets and lies, hopes and dreams, lives and deaths--everything has a connection to the Leaky Cauldron.

    Leaky Cauldron is a primarily social game, with a slight twist. We will be playing as a rather soap opera-ish environment, and as such players should expect everything that goes along with it: evil twins, secret affairs, shocking deaths and even more shocking returns. Players will be responsible for driving plot forward, and everyone will be asked to contribute plot ideas and see them through. There will be minimal mod involvement in day-to-day plots, but there will be the occasional wider plot the mods will throw out to the characters and plays to drive the game forward.

    X-PROJECT: AN X-MEN MOVIEVERSE RPG

    Name: KAROLINA DEAN

    Date of Birth: June 9, 1992

    Powers: Manipulation of solar energy and flight.

    Status: FORMER NEW MUTANT - AVAILABLE FOR APPLICATIONS.


    Karolina Dean. Known in the Runaways comics as Lucy in the Sky Karolina has the ability to manipulate solar energy. At the current time this manifests as a rainbow glow to her skin and the ability to fly. Daughter of two Hollywood actors, Karolina had the kind of childhood most dream of and and when she came to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters in February 2006 after manifesting in her high school, it was something of a shock. Much younger than most of the other students at the time of her arrival, she was somewhat isolated and as she grew older she became hostile and uncooperative, wanting only to return to her old school and refusing to have anything to do with the New Mutants student training team or her peers. In June 2009, she finally got her wish after making a deal with her parents and returned to California. However, her powers are still largely untrained and life as a visible mutant is rarely safe, especially for one in the public eye.

    X-Project is an X-Men movieverse RPG on Livejournal. Set after X2, we've been running since May 2003 and use a combination of in-character journals and email/IM logs. There's a number of settings for a range of play, whatever your preference, and while we accept new characters we strongly encourage people to adopt one of our orphans.

    Check out the Wiki and the advertising community to see what's available. Readers are highly encouraged! If you're looking for X-Men based entertainment, X-Project welcomes you to read along and enjoy the ride!

    Jun. 1st, 2013 @ 09:14 pm Absit Omen: A Harry Potter RPG




    || Main Page || Forum || Plot || Rules || How to Join ||

    A decade has passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. For most of the magical world, life after the end of the Second War was been relatively peaceful. But even the most optimistic witch or wizard knows that no peace can last forever.

    When an old man dies mysteriously in the Three Broomsticks, Magical Law Enforcement quickly dismisses it as nothing more than a tragedy. But was the death really an accident, or is something more going on? It seems that someone is interested in tracking down former supporters of Gellert Grindelwald, decades after the notorious Dark Wizard's defeat. Are they working "For the Greater Good," or do they have some other nefarious purpose in mind?

    Meanwhile, the Tetrawizard Tournament pushes on at Hogwarts. Though Durmstrang has taken a strong lead, Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Salem Academy are battling hard to catch up. But there are just as many political moves being made behind the scenes. The goblins of Gringotts Wizarding Bank insist that the Goblet of Fire is rightfully theirs, and the Ministry must rush to verify their claim.

    Elsewhere, there are hints of even darker shadows. The Wizarding Blood Alliance has been quiet recently, but the infamous terrorist group will surely not remain quiet for long. Add to that rumors of a dark magical circus trying to abduct innocents off the street and a brand new night club that demands absolute secrecy -- and sometimes even more -- from its members, and you'll soon hope that the ancient words of protection still work: Let there be no evil here.

    Absit Omen: A Harry Potter RPG

    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!

    We also accept Original Characters, and any canon fandom characters.

    Character approval pending application acceptability.

    Books are adventure! They contain murder and mayhem and passion. They love anyone who opens them.

    If nothing felt particularly resolved when the last Chitauri warrior fell still after the battle for New York, one thing was clear. The world had changed. Super-powered individuals were no longer the remnants of half-believed legend, written off as freak accidents, or simply the pet project of self-impressed billionaires. They became real--a valid topic for political and social debate. For every whole-hearted supporter donning a 'Tony Stark' haircut, there was at least one person who felt it was simply the next phase of vigilante justice (and that it should be terribly illegal). The visibility of the Avengers spurred the growth of more costumed super people--villains and heroes and the more morally muddy all amongst their ranks. If anything was clear, it was that the world had just become more complicated--and out of the shadows would come forces intent on ensuring that not every victory would feel so decisive.

    Gravity: Chapter 1 is a Marvel role play group psl set in the Cinematic Universe, canon through the end of The Avengers. The game has a lifespan of between six to nine months with a plan in place for continuation. Our hope is to provide an active and interactive community for Marvel muses that will make the community as dynamic as Marvel films and comics.

    Powers: Malleable non-toxic mercury form.

    Status: NEW MUTANT - AVAILABLE FOR APPLICATIONS.

    Cessily Kincaid is composed of non-toxic mercury, with a tenuous grip on her powers and a tendency to turn into a puddle. Viewed as an faerie imposter by her parents when she manifested, she was kept in the house for months until eventually being sent to Xavier's. It was a place she felt more at home in, until the events of Day Zero traumatised her to the extent she was unable to retain her human form much. She was sent to Attilan's mutant school in October 2008 for further training in a calmer environment, with the option to return any time she wants.
