Welcome to RPG-Connect! This community was designed as the middle ground for rpg advertising communities on insanejournal. When I was browsing IJ, I came across two types of ad communities: the over-restricted and the under-restricted. To me, most of the communities had lost it's personal touch with the roleplaying world. Here at RPG-Connect, our goal is to help quality players and games find one another. Are you looking for a home to place your character or find a person to fill your roleplaying needs? Do you want your game ad to reach the right kind of people? Look no further because you'll find that here.

Phoenix Cove
Where you'll rise again
PREMISE
Phoenix Cove Maine is a small island town just off the coast of greater Maine. Connected to the mainland by a two lane bridge, Phoenix Cove was settled in the mid 1800s, by individuals looking to start over after the Civil War. Due to desire to see the Nation, live and rise again, these settlers named the island, Phoenix Cove, after the mythical bird known for rising from the ashes. With its long-standing history, it isn't uncommon to find families that have been on the island for over a century.

The original industry that supported the Phoenix Cove economy, was of course lobster fishing, as with most of coastal Maine. However, over time the area has transformed from a small fishing village to a fairly urban area. That isn't to say the waters around the island are quiet now, though. They have simply become more popular for recreational use than industry. The shore is often lined with pleasure cruises, whale watches, small yachts and party boats.

Though small, Phoenix Cove offers everything you might need. A beautiful tourist destination, the island supports, two bars, several restaurants, a beautiful B&B, salon, shopping and an art gallery as well as gorgeous beaches. For our full time residents, Phoenix Cove offers a library, schools, vet clinic, a hospital, grocery stores and more. While each establishment is small and locally owned, all your needs will be met, with friendly service by pleasant locals. The town also hosts several public events each month, giving plenty of opportunity to make friends, enjoy the sights and have fun. So stop on by for a visit. You may never want to leave.

*Phoenix Cove is an original character, slice of life game, in a covid free world.*

NEW YORK BY NIGHT

A WORLD OF DARKNESS...

A delinquent vampire took you in a filthy bathroom at a rave, the music pounding as your young sire panicked after a feeding gone wrong. He gave you some of his Blood, and you collapsed in the ecstatic agony of the Embrace. You come to an hour later and stagger into the night a vampire, with no idea of what’s going on. How do you connect with the rest of the World of Darkness?

It’s not easy. The Masquerade means that it’s hard for vampires to find each other, especially in big cities. You don’t know the Traditions, and you broke the Prince’s law before you even knew there was a Prince.

When you finally find your way to Elysium, you discover that ignorance is no excuse in the courts of the immortals. Authorities far beyond the ken of mortals can sentence you to death – to the true death, this time.

But maybe you get to live. What’s the shape of the world you enter? What’s happening in the world of vampires?

Will you survive :

NEW YORK BY NIGHT

[info]nybynight is based on Vampire: The Masquerade and is a Camarilla focused chronicle with Anarch Movement undertones focusing on the uses of power, the dead hand of the past, and the questions of safety and duty versus honor and freedom as the Second Inquisition pushes in upon them.

No previous knowledge is needed to play.

There were rumors in the desert, but everyone knows the Sohar will say anything to make a trade.

The remaining clans of Fornya have existed on unsteady truces, capricious alliances, and merciless vendettas since before they can remember. Their only united effort is the neutral city of Enver. Once a beacon of hope for the survivors of the Great End, Enver has withered to a financial burden that many of the clans no longer support. Still, when the time for tributes is called, they pay their share. And when the seasonal festivals come around, they travel the distances to celebrate among friends and enemies in a temporary armistice of any feud between them. And this year was no exception.

Until the Rabid attacked their homelands and forced them to start anew in the old city. Without the space that once separated them, the clans must find a way to overlook their differences and work together for the survival of not only their own people but all people. The question remains, however, will they survive another attack by this distant enemy? Or will their centuries-old resentment and animosity bring about their own end?

✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥✥

Fornya is a years-in-the-future, post-apocalyptic, medieval setting, original character game. After an apocalyptic event, humanity started over sans technology amidst the rubble of the Old Word and eventually developed to a Middle Ages-esque dystopia ruled by warring clans. Threatened by an outside force of ravenous humans, the surviving clan members will make a home in Enver, the city where their societies began. This game is character and thread driven, supported by both mod and player devised plot opportunities.

Schisms
The world is changing, will you?
PREMISE
Schisms is on OC-only mature superpower game friendly towards a wide variety of interests set in New York City, New York in the year 2021. There's a fresh, new face leading the country, moving it toward a place of acceptance for mutants among mankind. Federal mandatory registration for mutants has recently been overturned, instead leaving it as a state issue. New York and California have removed mandatory registration, labeling themselves "Sanctuary States." There is a school being built in The Bronx that will be specifically for the education and training of mutants, better allowing them the ability to mix with society. There's even a small area nearby, labeled Shangri-La, which has steadily become known for it's prevalent mutant population.

Of course, nothing is truly that simple. With rumblings of two groups on opposing sides coming to light, a governmental black ops group of mutants, shady businesses trying to cure mutants, people just trying to live their lives, and political groups fighting on both sides, even Sanctuary States aren't entirely safe. It's only a matter of time before things come to a head. So, let us ask you...

On which side will you fall?

SILVER SPRINGS: OPENING JANUARY 2019

Are you, the discerning RPer, looking for a low-key place to play your original characters? With a low activity requirement and no huge over-arching plot? Do you just want to write without pressure, without having to necessarily react to some huge crisis?

Come check out [info]springs_mods! It's a low-key OC game set in a newly-built apartment building in the heart of D.C. But there's no political intrigue running the whole game, there's no supernatural creatures, no murder most foul, just people all moving in to the same building and having to live together. You can explore relationships of whatever flavor you want: family, friend, romantic. Or just personal character development.

Silver Springs is a quiet slice-of-life game that had a soft open these past few weeks but will be opening with a vengeance in the new year. Bring whatever you want to the table, as long as they're not a vampire.

Two Minutes to Midnight

[info]rpg_connect
Two Minutes to Midnight
A comic-inspired real-world AU
PREMISE
On the 25th of January, 2018, the Science and Security Board of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists set the Doomsday Clock to two minutes to midnight. While typically focusing on nuclear risk, climate change, and emerging technologies, the Bulletin was forced to take growing metahuman policies into consideration which culminated in a response that the world is heading even more rapidly toward their own man-made doomsday.

This game expands on the idea of this imminent danger by placing superhuman characters in a world where the tide of metahuman panic is at an all-time high.

There are no Avengers or Justice League to save us. Only the everyday citizens who choose to stand up and fight against tick-tock of the doomsday clock.

THE SHADOW BEFORE
On the surface, Point Pleasant, Maine certainly appears to be the kind of idyllic coastal town that every tourist would want to flock to during the warm summer months. It has that welcoming small town atmosphere that draws you in and makes you feel as though you belong. Locals will be sure to point out its gorgeous harbor, cozy little shops, the pollution free night skies, clear and full of stars... not to mention its disturbing fascinating history.

What the locals won't tell you is that for the past three hundred and twenty three years, Point Pleasant has unwittingly served as a nexus for the supernatural, the metaphysical, the evil and the damned. There are plenty who are dismissive of its history. After all, every town has a run of bad luck here and there. So what if Point Pleasant has an unusually high number of missing persons... strange and unexplainable deaths happen. That? That wasn't a monster you saw... monsters aren't real. Right?

Oh, everyone wants to talk about what's happening in their town, and yet no one really wants to talk about it. They're content with going on with their lives, getting through school, making another buck, getting through the day in one piece. But what they don't know is that ignoring the evil won't make it go away. Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it, isn't that what they say? Simply put, whatever has been drawing the darkness into their small town is only getting started, and nobody is safe.

The Shadow Before is an original, horror based game set in the fictional town of Point Pleasant, Maine. This game is inspired by various elements of horror and the supernatural, and will include both game wide plots as well as individual arcs. Warning: Mature and dark themes lie ahead.

GOOSEBERRY HIGH • a harry potter oc game on dreamwidth


[info]goosemods
[info]rpg_connect

It’s 2014, and the brightest teen witches and wizards in America are gathered in the wilderness of northern Utah, where they spend their mornings learning magic and inventing new spells, and their afternoons mountain-climbing, kayaking and riding winged horses. After last June’s harrowing encounters with the powerful magical entities that guard these woods, most are hoping for a quiet year...

But MACUSA agents have set up camp nearby, claiming to only be here for the students’ safety, and the ghosts of children, once rarely glimpsed, keep popping up as the living go about their days. “Be careful,” one of them warns. “Be brave.”

Welcome to Gooseberry High, a slice-of-life American wizarding school game with atmospheric horror elements. Combining Hogwarts (houses, magic and Quidditch), high school drama (nerds, jocks, cheerleaders and choosing where you’ll sit in the cafeteria), camp (mosquitoes, roasting s’mores and the great outdoors), and the creepiness of being stuck in the middle of nowhere. Original characters only.
