They're the ones who are all around us, part of a last thread holding the end back. They just don't know that. Yet. Welcome to Eidolon City, a place of the highest heights and the lowest lows. Where crime and corruption are more commonplace than morality and decency. Where figures from humanity's collective unconscious roam the streets, playing their own roles in events.

We're looking for players interested in a game that's something different from the norm, an altered take on a lot of different concepts. We've incorporated fairytales, mythology, literary figures and dreams, putting them into a noir setting full of mafia families and corrupt city officials.

Forgotten Gods


[info]forgotten_mods
[info]oldschoolrp
What happens to the old gods, once their temples have crumbled and their believers have abandoned them? Do they die, forsaken, alone? Or do they remain, still wandering the world, immortal, surviving off what little belief they can gather?

Forgotten Gods follows the lives of these old deities, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers moved on to new religions, the gods' powers waned - for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, attempting to regain the power that was once theirs, to revive their followings.

And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the older gods, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep wariness.

Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology.

BRITANNIA: Arthurian Reincarnations


[info]britannia_mod
[info]oldschoolrp
BRITANNIA
B R I T A N N I A


Located in the western part of the state, this mid-sized town has mostly failed to live up to its grandiose name. It's big enough that no one knows everyone else, small enough that a new face is noticeable. The leaves are lovely in the fall, tourists stop through with reasonable regularity, and nothing much ever changes.

Or didn't.

Some of the townspeople have dreams. Recurring dreams about blood, and horses, and steel. About silken gowns, and hawking, and high spires. About loyalties and rivalries long faded into legend.

Most of them have shrugged the dreams off. They're only dreams. But things are beginning to change after all.

Britannia, NY is a brand-new Arthurian game set in the present day. Arthur has returned, but so has his sister-enemy, Morgan. Characters will have to come to grips with past life memories, choose a side, forge alliances -- and hope to prevail.

Eidolon City is an original character game set in the noir world of a 1940s US City. A world of crooked cops and mob rule, reluctant heroes and femme fatales. To the residents of Eidolon City the daily drama that surrounds them is just part and parcel of their lives.

But there is more to the City than what it seems. Because what the residents of Eidolon City do not realise is that the City, in fact the whole world they live in, is not real. Eidolon City is an illusion, and they - or at least some of them - are dreaming. Maybe the dreamers are the lucky ones. Not everyone in Eidolon City is merely dreaming. - some of them are the invention of that dream. Some of the residents of Eidolon City are fantasies given breath. They are the manifestations of myths, of stories, of ideals, even if they don't know it. None in Eidolon City know the dream for what it is - and they also don't know that one day the illusion may fracture and the dreamers may start to wake up - and some of them may disappear forever.

~*~*~*~

Eidolon City is a new game that started this summer! We're looking for a wide range of characters to help fill the city. We're a friendly, free-form game with an emphasis on character interaction and relationships, though the game will also run regular, over-arcing plots to keep things interesting!

We are an original character game and we encourage in game connections with other characters. We have a list of character suggestions and wanted characters here.

Also, to help people who may find the application process daunting or may be unsure about creating an original character from scratch, some of our players have created 'skeleton characters' - these are unplayed, original characters created especially for the game and for other people to play. You can view the list of skeleton characters here, along with the short form application to go with these.

When you dream, what do you see?

Welcome to Eidolon City - a place of contrasts, where nothing is quite what it seems and everyone has a goal. For some, that goal is simple: survival. For others: to succeed. To climb over the rest and come out on top. To be the next to rule.

Do you have what it takes? Can you take up the challenge? Where will you place yourself, in the fight where the easy path isn't the path of 'good' and 'right' - in a city where two opposing mob families are locked in an eternal battle for supremacy and think nothing of crushing anyone and everyone who gets in their way, no matter who they are. Being on the side of right can prove to be very bad for your health.
~*~*~*~*~

Eidolon City is a new game that opened recently! We are looking for a range of players, but currently we're mostly looking for members of the two mob factions which form the basis of the game! We have a few, but at the moment, we've got more cops, so mafia people, we need you!! There are lots of players looking for connections with theirs, join today!

We're also looking for general cityfolk and have an active wanted list created by our players looking for in game connections, so it's easy to create characters who'll have an automatic in!!

Pentamerone - a fairy tale and folklore game on Inksome!


[info]thestoryteller
[info]oldschoolrp
What happens after Happily Ever After?

Heroes and villains alike seek someplace to exist before they fade from existence. Others search for a way home, not sure if there's a home left to go to. Pentamerone is the last stronghold of human imagination. The hundreds of magical lands and worlds that used to exist in the minds of children are now in a state of decay. Pentamerone is a world of mystery, of new places to be explored, and full of new people to meet. It looks idyllic, peaceful, welcoming. But only one thing's certain:

Once you cross its borders,
you can never return home again.
