would you rewrite your story?
PREMISE
2 May 1998 was a day that would reverberate throughout history and changed the course of life as the Wizarding World knew it. Lord Voldemort had won. Narrowly escaping death, Harry Potter was forced to go on the run along with the surviving members of the Order of the Phoenix. Those that fell during their hasty retreat into the Dark Forest, were unfortunately left behind to their fate. There was little that could be done for them. Small comfort for those that ended up in hiding at Grimmauld place, before eventually fleeing outward toward other countries and new lives. The Order, or so it seemed, was fractured beyond repair and redemption.

Refusing to give up on their world, a small group of Hogwarts students began the painful task of trying to regroup and come up with a plan. Through that process the idea what if we used a time turner came about. Maybe it was a joke, a laugh someone thought to give the group that were desperate as their options began to dwindle, maybe they were serious. Whatever the reason, despite it being brushed off at first, Hermione took it upon herself to research it. What did they have to lose? Even if it wasn’t viable, at least they’d researched every option.

Months later, Hermione came to the group with a plan. They would indeed go back in time but not just a few months to prevent Voldemort’s rise, not a few years to prevent Peter Pettigrew from rejoining him, no they would go back further. They would go back to the beginning of the war where it all started. Back before Harry Potter became the chosen one. Back to where Voldemort can be truly killed before any of this ever happens.

UT EX PHOENIX
an au trio-era game
2 May 1998, the war has raged for over two years now with Voldemort's hold over the wizarding world becoming terrifyingly tight. Worse, his rage over being unable to find and kill Harry Potter has made him devastatingly volatile. Life after life falls in his wake and no one knows where he will strike next. Then, as the final page of the story was being turned, Neville Longbottom spoke up. Making their last, valiant stand at Hogwarts might have been fine for Voldemort himself and for Harry, but all the innocent there didn't deserve to die. Harry agreed.

One after another, people were rushed through the room of requirement as Hogwarts was attacked. The deafening sound of spells trying to break through the 'protego' charm surrounding the castle, added more fear as each person made their way out through Hogsmeade. It was a night meant as a reckoning for the wizarding world but instead, as Death Eaters entered the Hogwarts grounds they found them empty. Rubble and death greeted the man hellbent on revenge. It is said his scream of hatred and the killings that followed echoed and the dark mark bled so deeply into the sky you could see it throughout the world.

15 July 1998. Two months, the DA and Order have been on the run, formulating plans and growing in numbers. Numbers that are now strong enough to face Voldemort and his wrath. With the help of allies from around the country and Europe, Harry is finally ready to face his fate. To find Voldemort and show him once and for all that the wizarding world will not bow to any 'Dark Lord.'

Ut Ex Phoenix is a short term game intended to run for 3 months to play out an alternate end to the war

It starts with a man cooking his breakfast. It's Sunday, he thinks. It must be Sunday, because it was Saturday yesterday, and even though he can't seem to remember yesterday finishing, the sun is slung low in the sky of a new morning. His head hurts, and the memory loss is slightly disorientating, but he is hungry, and soon his wife and child will be awake and eating with him and he will put this discomfort aside. Sure enough, his wife enters the kitchen. He drops his frying pan from the surprise of her scream. It's Tuesday, not Sunday. It's a year after his death.

Reoccurrence is an alternate universe Harry Potter roleplay set in 2005, seven years after the second war. It takes inspiration from French drama, Les Revenants, and BBC's In The Flesh. It asks the question: what would the wizarding world look like if the people we thought were gone returned one day?

game opens june 19th!

Endgame


The year is 1994. Days are getting longer. The weather is getting warmer. The Quidditch World Cup is just around the corner. Rumours abound about a big event at Hogwarts.

Life couldn't be better.


Thirteen years ago saw the end of Lord Voldemort. The Dark Lord who terrorised the wizarding world, along with his monsters-at-arms, the Death Eaters. A mistake that cost him a piece of his soul and seemed to wipe him off this plane of existence. It also caused an unfixable rift amongst his followers.

However, the rest of the world breathed a sigh of relief. And, after years of mistrust and uncertainty, the wizarding world was finally able to start rebuilding and recovering. That was until recently. Strange goings-on, werewolf attacks, unexplained murders, an escaped prisoner on the loose; rumours are spreading like wildfire. Something is stirring in the East.

Endgame is an AU Harry Potter game set in 1994 following the lives of the adults of the HP canon

Welcome to
The Purist Initiative

THE PURIST INITIATIVE
A Dark AU Harry Potter Game
Harry Potter is dead. With Voldemort's disappearance, the Death Eaters retained control of the Ministry, their reign arising from out of the crumbling ashes of the Battle of Hogwarts. The magical world waited with bated breath to see what was to come. The changes, however, started off impossibly small. But they did come.

Following a series of muggle attacks on wizarding communities, muggleborns slowly began to lose their rights in the name of their supposed protection. Falling to the wayside in the community at large, they came to be an unprotected, at-risk population, easy to exploit. Now, fourteen years later, a hierarchy has emerged based on blood status. Those at the top seem to have all the rights, while every step could lead to possible ruin. Those at the bottom seem to have nothing to lose while those in the middle have the largest array of choices. Everything a character does can have potential consequences. What choices will yours make?

The Purist Initiative is a dark post-war AU RPG where Voldemort's ideas of blood purity has created a caste system within the closed Wizarding World. A variety of catastrophes and political issues continue to arise, allowing for a very plot driven game. We officially opened August 7, 2019 and has been going strong for eight months. Please check us out and put in a hold if you're interested!

The World 2013: The magical world is cut off completely from the muggles in three major cities. Magical London, the center of the government. Within Diagon Alley, war is brewing, the ministry is splitting, and the resistance is threatened more now than ever.

Lines Requested Current requests: Purist and Death eaters. People comfortable with heavy plot and light social aspects. Dark themes are encouraged.

What to Expect A highly active, fast-paced game with plot options available for characters from all walks of life from child, muggleborn orphans to elite Death Eaters. War is on the horizon now with the Lestrange brothers at odds, disruption of the peace following public executions, and the barely stable ground everyone has known slowly crumbling once again.

The New Hunt
Post 2nd War Harry Potter RPG
PREMISE
The Second War ended, but the ripple effect into the Muggle world couldn't be stopped. Too many Muggles had been killed and as much as the Ministry of Magic had tried, they couldn't contain all the questions and whispers. The family of the victims demanded information, they demanded answers. And while the Ministry never confirmed the existence of magic it became impossible to stop all the whispers.An American group, known as the New Salem Philanthropic Society became active once again. By 2001, governments around the world were swept up into the belief. Ministries all over the world were pressured to turn over their witches and wizards to the Muggle governments. Many countries resisted at first, but one by one they all surrendered.
Save one. One Ministry kept calm and carried on. The United Kingdom is the last safe refuge for witches and wizards. The magic running through the hills and valleys is too old, too strong, and too powerful to be so easily handed over to fanatics. Rather than bowing to another dictator, the Ministry of Magic opened its doors to international witches and wizards and created a new governing body. The Wizengamot was restructured, providing seats to foreign countries. New laws were written. And the primary focus of the Ministry became one of survival and growth. The borders of every magical town and institution have been closed. Travel into the Muggle world is only allowed at certain times to help ensure the safety of witches and wizards. But is it enough to combat the heightened attacks by the New Salem Philanthropic Society? With technology advancing, their attacks have become more measured, more deadly, and far more vicious. From biological warfare, kidnapping, assault, and torture, the New Salem Philanthropic Society will stop at nothing to erradicate the world of magic once and for all.

The New Hunt is set in 2008, ten years following the Second War. And the fate of the magical world is once again up in the air.

GAME OPENS MARCH 1ST!

How were the DA members that fought at the Battle of Hogwarts able to hold their own against notable murderers twice their age? And how the hell did that convenient tunnel connect from The Hogs Head to the Room of Requirement?

WELCOME TO WIZZYWOOD
Glitz, glamour, drama, and literal magic are just the tip of the iceberg in the wizarding world's answer to Hollywood. Hidden away in an unknown location that is accessible from many places in the country, it has all of the great storylines underway, but none of the special effects budgets!

Wizzywood is a social game based on the Harry Potter world and set in the United States in the current year. It operates on a "divorced canon" philosophy, wherein it borrows applicable bits from canon, ignores what doesn't work, and makes up the rest. It can (and probably will) contain adult content.

VINDICATUS
@vindicatusmod
The year is 2008 and ten years have passed since the culmination of the Second Wizarding War. Victory won, Harry Potter and his friends were recruited by the newly instated Minister for Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt, to aid in the initiative to clean out the remnants of their enemies. The victims of the war rebuilt and reclaimed their places in the world, finding that a simple life was indeed possible. Marriages were celebrated and families started, energies were thrown into building careers. In general life became stable and witches and wizards were capable of focusing on all things personal instead of keeping attentions tuned into the Daily Prophet for news on the war.

Harry Potter, now Head of the Aurors after having reshaped the department along with his best friends, continues his vigilance against the Dark Arts while now enjoying being a husband and father of three. With this newfound life there will continue to be new challenges to face and a future that will always remain unpredictable.

Vindicatus is a book canon Trio Era game that focuses on what life is like after the defeat of Voldemort. Opportunities for continuing old and developing new social ties abound but tomorrow is not always promised.

HOLDS OPEN @ VINDICATUS MOD.
Game opened July 8th.

A little over a month has passed since the night the Order of the Phoenix was defeated at the Battle of Hogwarts. A month since the Order and all those who fought with them were forced to scatter throughout England, France and allied nations trying to save their own lives, knowing that horrors awaited them should they be found. A month since the death of Harry Potter at the hands of the Dark Lord himself.

You are cordially invited to the wedding of Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley on August 10, 2030. Join the family as we celebrate the union of these two young hearts as they prepare to start their lives together. Love is in the air, but in a family as big as the Weasleys, marital bliss will undoubtedly mix with chaos and drama. Using a premade concept, we have created a comfortably-sized cast list with tight-knit connections and opportunities to develop other storylines.

THE KNOT is a "slice of life" GPSL centered on the planning of a wedding and the ups and downs it brings to all the family and friends involved.
