9:16p	Golden Days: An AU Harry Potter RPG golden_days | goldendaysmod | goldendays_ooc Rules | Holds & Cast | Apply | Game Canon At any given time, there are a dozen projects in the Department of Mysteries that could destroy an entire world. One such project, headed by young researcher Hermione Granger, was nearing completion of Phase One. It dealt with a magical artifact known as The Veil, assumed to be the doorway between life and death. The truth was much more complicated than that, as Hermione and her team had discovered. Not only did the Veil mark a doorway between the living and the dead, it also acted as the gateway to other realities. Hermione was on the cusp of discovering why the Veil worked that way, when a spell gone wrong blasted through the Department, and sent Hermione sailing through the Veil. When she woke up, she realized immediately that something was wrong. This world was not her own. It was a quick realization, because staring down at her, perfectly alive (if bald), is Albus Dumbledore. golden_days gives players a unique opportunity to explore the "What Ifs" of a world where Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindlewald realized their dream of a world where Muggles were subservient to Wizards, and Tom Riddle is Headmaster of Hogwarts. Muggleborns are removed from their Muggle families and placed with proper Wizarding folk. Wizarding Great Britain is in the midst of a Golden Age of Wizardry, and there are some who would do anything to protect it. Game opens Jan 15th, and the first few weeks will be primarily a social game. The aim will be to get a feel for the characters in this setting, and to world build. A major game-wide plot will pick up in February. Prospective players can see this post for more info. (Comment on this)
9:55p	Nestled between two rivers in the middle of Wisconsin is a sleepy town called Portage. With a population of about 10,000 the town harkens back to a simple life of living. It's your typical small town where everyone knows each other, gossip runs rampant, and you can leave your doors unlocked without worry. The citizens of this town are used to their way of life, but things have started to change, but they're still unsure if it's for the better or worse. The small town setting happened to appeal to a Hollywood director and producer who decided Portage would make a great backdrop for his recent cop drama film, "Behind The Badge". The movie dealt with corruption from a big town department that seeped into a small town unit. It was highly acclaimed by critics and Portage flourished from the new business and tourism it was developing. The movie did for this small town what "Grumpy Old Men" did for a small town in Minnesota and soon people were beginning to stop by on their travels to see the backdrop for the movie. A year and a half later the producer couldn't get the small town out of his head and when the idea of for a new small town tv show came up he couldn't help but offer up Portage as a backdrop. The tv show, "Perfection", is now filming it's third season and after even after a scandal filled second season, which threatened to have it cancelled. The plot of the show is a take on "Desperate Housewives" but with a Midwestern twist. The show focuses on the small town that takes pride in a perfect facade for it's town, but underneath it is a town full of corruption, deceit, and lies. It has been praised by critics thusfar. The majority of the cast and crew stay in Portage while filming so the town is flourishing from the influx of activity, but the townsfolk are beginning to question if the show is hitting closer to home than they had thought before.
