Blisstage [Sep. 6th, 2009|06:15 pm]

blissstage_mod

Tomorrow...
... everybody over seventeen won't wake up. An alien force will attack us in our dreams, shutting down our conscious and subconscious thoughts. All that is left will be a world of meat with strangely pleasant smiles on their faces. The kids that survive call it 'The Bliss.' Society as we know it is gone. We have to fend for ourselves. There are no rules. No control. No explanations.

In a Year...
... We fight back. The shock of losing our families is behind us. We learn we are not immune to The Bliss either. A small cell of adolescents, once just another gang of kids, has a chance to make everything right. The chance is very slim. But they have figured out how to fight back- in Dream.

Armed with weaponized love and tempered hate, brave kids as young as twelve stampede through their twisted nightmares and brave their personal demons to bring about a better tomorrow.

What is Blisstage?
Blisstage is character-centered roleplaying, backed up by Mod-provided plot. It is science fiction. It is horror. It is a social game wrapping around a plot. It is a game for adults. It is slash, femmeslash and het friendly. Relationships are more than encouraged- they are practically required.

Buttercreamed: an EROTIC BAKERY rpg [Sep. 6th, 2009|03:01 am]

masturbakers


All Appyl Pie ever wanted to do was own her own bakery. With a name like hers, who wouldn't? Everything had been in order. The papers were signed, the machinery brought, the doors open. But things took a turn... for the worse. The economic crisis crippled her business before it had a chance to get off the ground. She had two choices: close her beloved bakery or start hand sculpting cocks out of marzipan. And Appyl Pie was no quitter.

WE NEED: More straight and gay women. Bi/heterosexual men. More switches and especially more doms. More older characters (particularly females). Villains. More racial diversity. Quirky characters with interesting backgrounds, goals, and hobbies.

The. Fruitful. Project. [Sep. 5th, 2009|06:52 pm]

innovo_mods




In the year 2010 the world was plagued by the full effect of Global Warming. No country was spared and no one could imagine the speed in which it came. Within months entire cities were underwater, drier than deserts, or completely leveled. Thousands died and there was no end in sight. Many lost hope until 2020 when the Eden Project was founded.

The Eden Project was a last ditch effort by the human race. Surviving scientists came up with a chemical, a gas called 'Eden' that would hopefully cool the atmosphere enough to put a stop to the catastrophes happening around the world. Slowly but surely the temperature began to drop and the storms slowed. In the time between the beginning of the storms to the launch of the Eden Project, the world population had dropped from nearly seven billion to a little below five.

It was another six years before the effect of the 'Eden' chemical was known.

It began in 2028. There were suddenly less children being born and by the end of 2029, pregnancies stopped all together. The men and women of the world were now completely sterile. It was soon discovered that the Eden chemical was the cause of the sterilization, that the one thing that had saved the world had also doomed it to an inevitable ending, the population destined to dwindle down to nothing.



The same lab that developed the Eden project has been working for the past nineteen years to reverse the devastating effects without destroying the now near perfect atmosphere of Earth. The Fruitful project was a serum, a cure that reversed the sterilization but only in people below the age of thirty.

The Global Government is taking a drastic step to increase the population. The Governments of the world began to administer the serum by administering it to everyone as a vaccine at doctor's appointments. To further insure that the population will continue to grow and to 'usher in a new era of life', a global law has been put into place. A marriage law. The Fruitful Law.

Every healthy, non-married person between the ages of nineteen and twenty-nine are to be married, whether by choice or by Government selection. The couple will have a one year period at the most after their marriage to conceive.

The Fruitful project is for the betterment of our world. Who will be your match?

Waking Pandora [Sep. 6th, 2009|03:30 pm]

mods_wp

You open your eyes to darkness. The air smells stale and confined. Lifting a hand, you feel glass, smooth and curved. Instinctively, your heart beats faster. A tentative push and it rises away from you, swinging to the side. Light filters in through windows above. You blink, your eyes adjusting to the shadowed room as you try to remember what happened.

A thin layer of dust covers everything. There are no panes of glass in the windows. The virus. You remember now. They told you stasis was a precaution. Only a few weeks. A month, at best. Let them get the virus under control.

Standing beside your pod, legs shaking from disuse, you feel a sense of apprehension creeping over you. Your heart beats even faster now. A table nearby has a pile of scrolls on it and, with a sense of foreboding, you cross to find the one with your initials on it.

~~~ The year is 2100. ~~~

Waking Pandora is an AU, post-apocalyptic Harry Potter RPG based partially on the History Channel series Life after People. One hundred years after humanity is destroyed by a Muggle-made virus, people - magical and muggle - are waking up in the stasis pods that had been humanity's bid for survival.

Armed with only a small pack of things, your wits, and limited initial magical ability, you must learn to not only survive but also rebuild the world, brick by brick, and child by child. Anything is possible in Waking Pandora.

Ask yourself this: Do you want to be a vital part of an RPG that is more than just commonplace and routine? Where the world you build is literally the new world of humanity and players can participate as much as they want? Then Waking Pandora is the place for you.

Wake up to a world where Hope and the future is what you make of it. Waking Pandora

Most Wanted: Dean Thomas, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini, Katie Bell, Lavender Brown, Lee Jordan, Rodolphus Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Oliver Wood and more.

Quadrivium [Sep. 5th, 2009|05:02 am]

Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Quadrivium RPG

“The Road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, and I must follow, if I can, pursuing it with eager feet, until it joins some larger way where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.” –J.R.R. Tolkien

On the night of All Hallow’s Eve, 1981, the Dark Lord Voldemort fell at the hands of one-year old Harry Potter, bringing an end to a decade long reign of terror, to the relief of the entire Wizarding World. Death Eaters were imprisoned, wounds healed, and the Wizarding World spent the next decade healing from the pain of the first war. Yet, Voldemort was not truly defeated that night. He will rise once more, bringing upon another vicious war upon the Wizarding World.

Everyone knows the story of James and Lily Potter and the story of their son, Harry, but until now, the story of what happened in between has been unknown.

It is 1990, the year before Harry Potter will discover he is a Wizard. Professor Quirrell has left his post at Hogwarts to travel Romania, where he will soon discover the Dark Lord and become his vessel, but back at Hogwarts, all thoughts of Voldemort ever returning are far from anyone’s minds. The students of Hogwarts are far too worried about their love lives, winning Quidditch matches, and avoiding being the target of the secret gossip column of the school, while their professors have similar interests.

Rivalries run deep, love comes and goes, and the foundation for the future is being paved.

Everyone stands at a crossroads, the road behind them broken and wilting. The road ahead holds a mystery. Which paths in life will they chose? Who will they become? Only one thing is certain; they must choose.

Quadrivium is a canon compliant Harry Potter Interim Era game taking place in 1990 focusing on character development. Game opened May 09, 2009.

Most Wanted: Penelope Clearwater*, Professor Quirrell, Percy Weasley, Oliver Wood, Students, Teachers, & many others!

welcome to panopolis-a multifandom city game [Sep. 4th, 2009|05:26 pm]

thepanopticon
so it begins... 
premise】 【panopolipaedia】 【f.a.q.s】 【rules
panopolitans】 【reserves】 【application】 【activity
You wake up in a strange new place, surrounded by strange new people. The life as you recall it, however vivid, no longer exists. You find yourself defined by a new name, by a new title, by a new role. Faces you do not recognise know you-have known you for a considerable length of time, perhaps all their lives. New family. New allies. New enemies. Your lifetime of memories serve no purpose here, for they are but a dream...or are they?

You just might be surprised to discover that there are others like you scattered throughout the city. So the question becomes: do you accept your new role, or cling onto the shadowy remnants of a past long gone? Do you question your sanity or persevere in your quest to seek a different answer, a different path?

Welcome to Panopolis.

PREMISE

You wake up to the smell of smoke.


When the bombs dropped in early 2008, it was expected that the virus would be eradicated. After all, nothing could survive the devastation of nuclear power. Nothing could possibly crawl up from the wreckage of a twisted land. That was how the United Nations justified their choice to Quarantine and abandon the United States of America – Canada and Mexico closed their borders, and the bomb was dropped. The virus burned hard under the nuclear autumn that followed, but it did not die. Nothing could stop the creatures that came out of the wasted hole of the Midwest – the Infected lived to hunt. Nothing could stop them. Or so it seemed to the rest of the world.

You wake up to lull of voices.


Seemingly abandoned by the rest of the world, the few who had sustained the blast began to band together. They found a common goal: Survive. Live, but not at any cost. To carry on with humanity intact, that was the only possible hope for the future of the Remaining States of America. Brought together under a vivacious leader, people crossed the country at great peril to come to New York, to live in the Salisbury Hotel. Safety was found in numbers, after all. And for a time, they lived in peace. Those who knew to fight, trained others. Those who could gather and hunt, they shared their skills. Gardens grew. The Infection was kept at bay. Hope for a cure began to whisper its way through the Compound. Caravans appeared on their last legs, praying for safe haven. But the seemingly idyllic landscape was bound to erupt again.

Marquette, Michigan - a small town set in a picturesque location on the edge of Lake Superior, surrounded by forests and woodland. A place which could almost be described as sleepy - the ideal for a lot of people. Low crime rate, full of clean living and family values. It attracts the 'right' kind of people.

What it also attracts is the supernatural. Angels, demons, lyncanthropes, humans with abilities - people looking to hide from a world that doesn't understand them. A world that can't understand them.

And so it has been for hundreds of years - the quiet town with the secret that not even its residents knew about.

But times are changing, the world turns: and supernatural forces are coming out of hiding now, all over the world. What once was hidden is being discovered and rediscovered. Myths are being exposed as truths.

And Marquette isn't so sleepy any more.

There's a war brewing - and it's time to choose sides.



*****



Praelitis is a mature and well-established game that is looking for new players. Though the game has been running for over two years now, we have just introduced a new plot which introduces a whole new element to the game and that makes now a great time to join in!

We're at the start of a war between the supernatural and humankind and we're looking for characters who will be either one side or another. We are just introducing wider organisations to back up the fight and we're after characters who will either be a part of either a 'human only' force, or a 'supernatural superiority' force. Of course, we're also looking for independent characters who are affiliated with neither, or may be looking to join either!

Nestled in the quiet wizarding town of Arcady, WA, Coats Academy for Witchcraft and Wizardry is one of the premier American schools for magical education. Located along a scenic coast line, Coats has everything a student could wish for located right on campus. An engaging curriculum strives for academic excellence, and the sports teams and clubs encourage students to take an active role in the social scene. But, of course, there's no end to the trouble some students manage to create with magic!

Coats Academy is a character-driven, OC Harry Potter game set in the USA. It's a boarding school where anything can happen, and almost everything does! A detailed setting sets this game apart from the rest, and frequent Events encourage board-wide interaction, while still allowing players room to create.

Game play starts on September 3rd, but we're accepting applications now for both students and faculty!

Deceptive Perception - A Semi-Anonymous Supernatural-type RP [Sep. 1st, 2009|01:44 am]

dpmod
Are you tired of the same old supernatural games? Does the premise always have to include vampires "coming out of the coffin" or supernatural creatures being a shock to the world? If you think you could use a change, why not try Deceptive Perception?

Deceptive Perception is not just a game—it's an experience. Supernatural creatures can live out their lives and explore their desires in a world that knows they live and doesn't have to have all the conflict arranged around their very existence. These men and women are fighting to keep together a world that seems to be falling apart around them. Wouldn't you like to help?

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.
