Nazi forces invaded the country of France in May of 1940, officially solidifying their position as occupiers and the hands that held the leash of the French people on the 22nd of June. Homes are raided, the people are watched by angry German eyes, and lives are torn asunder as the Nazis search for Jewish families in their twisted hatred of the people.

A very different force invaded the country of France in the very beginnings of 1941. Led by Lt. Aldo Raine, eight Jewish-American soldiers were dropped behind enemy lines for one purpose, and one purpose only. Killing Nazis.

It is now 1943, and the Germans are well aware of what monsters lurk within France’s borders. The monsters besides themselves, at least. At night the men whisper horror stories they heard second or third hand about monstrous individuals; among them, Aldo the Apache and the Bear Jew, an enormous man who beats Nazi soldiers to death with a baseball bat inscribed with the curses of his people. They also speak of a man who used to be counted among their number, a man named Hugo Stiglitz, who suddenly snapped and left a trail of bloody and mangled SS officers in his wake.

There are more individuals at work within Nazi Occupied France than just frightened German soldiers and a brutal group of Americans, The Jew Hunter, SS Col. Hans Landa, has made it part of his mission to destroy the Basterds. The French Resistance is silently conspiring in the background, in bars and brothels, to bring down their German oppressors.

Jews, Christians, Nazis, Basterds, each have their own agenda, and their own mission. Which side will you ally yourself with?

Slaughter is an Original Character-friendly game based on the movie Inglourious Basterds by Quentin Tarantino.


GAME BEGINS UPON 8 FILLED CANON CHARACTERS.

"UP YOURS, HITLER."

The US Army Air Force needs YOU!

It's 1943 and the world is at war. The fate of history to come lies in the hands of a few hundred men and the planes they fly over the Third Reich's war machine, the bombs they drop, and the blood they shed.

Everyone in the small English town of Ongar does their part, whether it be the American Army Air Force and their B-26 Marauders, the nurses who tend to them, the Royal Air Force oversight who just handed their base over to the Americans, or the townspeople who make everyone feel at home.

Nurses, Medics, Pilots, Airmen, Cooks, School kids, Shop-owners, Repairmen, or a camp-following girl desperate for a bit of action with a Flyboy-- It's all up to you!

Definitely not...

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.

One For the Books - A Historical RPG


[info]dr_fronkensteen

FAQ // Rules // Application // Cast

It's happy hour at the Knife-in-the-Eye Pub. Kit Marlowe tends bar, and Tiberius Claudius Drusus Nero Germanicus is probably in the back cooking the books. The Knife-in-the-Eye is one of the more happening joints on Gropecunt Lane, somewhere in the underworld, where those who have been immortalized in song and story...are stuck.

One for the Books is a semi-structured, primarily comedic LJ RP for historical figures. Rulers, statesmen, scholars, artists, soldiers, and eccentrics from all periods and all places congregate at the Knife-in-the-Eye and contemplate the ineffable -- when they're not at each others' throats, that is. From Will Shakespeare introducing his fellow patrons to the joys of Elizabethan Scrabble, to Ramses II and Montezuma having a pyramid-measuring contest, to Peter the Great dangling things over Napoleon's head, to Nero and the Marquis de Sade throwing the craziest parties history's ever seen, to Vlad Tepes attempting to woo Countess Elizabeth Bathory, it's never boring.

Alternate University - Original Characters, Shifting Genres

Game opens at 12 characters or September 12th!

ALTERNATE UNIVERSity


PREMISE

It was a quiet day on the campus of E. Paul University as Professor Reed experimented in his lab below Verne Hall Dorm. The teachers and teachers assistants that were a mere floor up and certainly the students living in the numerous floors even above that had no idea what was about to happen. But when Professor Reed's experiment turned horribly wrong seemingly everyone was affected. The tear in the dimensional fabric of the universe sucked those who were in the building into it's vortex dropping them into an entirely different time and space. Now those who were affected must band together survive the shifting of their world and the new cultures and experiences that await them before the next world is the end of them all.


HOW IT PLAYS

So, you say, how does this game work?

The tear in the fabric of the universe will happen roughly one week after the start of the game. The characters at that time will be pushed into an alternate reality where they will have to adjust to new social and cultural climates. What will this mean for you? We, as mods, will give a description of the alternate universe that you will be playing in and you will have to understand and play with the stipulations that universe brings along. In some cases universes will call for a particular social hierarchy (such as the jobs on a pirate ship or the class system in the Renaissance) and for these situations the mods will roll a dice (yes an actual dice) to assign jobs/classes. The idea is that things are always changing and that the characters have to adjust (or not adjust and maybe lose some marbles along the way) and that we're always playing fresh situations- so one month you may be the captain of a space ship and the next you may be a peasant scrounging for food in the Medieval England.

Roughly once a month we will post a vote for the upcoming world shift and you as players are welcome (and expected) to vote for and/or suggest the next AU that we play in.

Despite the movement of game time (which will be in "real time" according to our world, though the years will change depending on the AU) the movement of time in the original universe in which EPU exists will be moving much slower. Characters which are new to the game after the initial shift will start by walking into Verne Hall and suddenly find themselves in the AU that the game is currently playing in.

As we shift worlds, your characters will gain ghost knowledge of where they are. Despite the fact that you play, say, an art major, if we shift into a space opera AU you will have an innate/intangible understanding of how to perform your job as the ship's captain or as we move into a fairytale village you'll know where you live and that the strange elf in your house is in fact your husband, while still being entirely self-aware as well.

The use of NPCs will be greatly encouraged in this game as each world will come with a new set of people surrounding you. Ask your fellow players and mods to play NPCs for you or if you have an idea of a character you want to play briefly, then let the mods know.

Note: For some yet-unexplained reason the blackberries that the school issues to students and faculty members seem to work even in worlds where there are no towers, though only on the school network. This means that your characters can post to their IJs and text each other- but only each other. There won't be any phone calls from home, any emails from your girlfriend across campus, and your friend's page isn't going to show Joey-from-History-Class.

ARE YOU...?

Are you tired of Harry Potter, X-Men, and Twilight? Do you want to try a sampling of different time periods and genres? Maybe you just want something new or love throwing your characters into AUs as much as we do! Alternate U is a community that values creative and friendly players who are interested in character development and trying something new. (Please note AU is NOT a panfandom RPG and the other worlds that will be visited will be genre/archetypes.)

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.

Welcome to London, 1861. The city is teaming with new ideas and inventions: Darwin’s theories, the American Civil War, and the artistic dress movement. On the surface, it is a time of being prim and proper, but even in the highest of societies lay a predator that no amount of tea or smelling salts can cure- the vampire. A regal creature, as old as man itself, the vampire of London “live” in high Victorian society- attending operas, balls, and other events. However, when the sun is out, these beautiful and mysterious beings are no where to be found- which is really where the humans should prefer them to stay.

The humans of London have little idea that the wonderful dancing companion they’ve waltzed with is, in fact, not hunting for a spouse, political alignment, or anything so messy.

Just their blood.

Victorians is a game based in 1860’s London, and is meant for mature players over the age of eighteen only. The vampire lore is derived from the works of Anne Rice, however this game is comprised of original characters only. We emphasize that this is a game meant for fun.

OPENED AUGUST 28th
