The Game |
The year is 1981. Voldemort is still at large. The Order is hunting down Horcruxes. Sirius Black isn't in Azkaban. The Potters aren't dead. And The Longbottom's are nowhere near being admitted to St. Mungo's because of those damn Lestranges. Why not? Because we decided to throw canon out the window and re-write the story for ourselves and it's been one Hell of a story so far and it's only going to get better!
Over at Crescendo, we believe in letting you, the writer, determine where the plot goes based on character interaction and plots, so literally anything can happen. We believe in giving you the freedom to let things develop naturally, instead of trying to force your characters into a small box to make things work with what happened in the books. We've been open for nearly six months and we don't plan on going anywhere, so come on over, take a seat, and drive the plot a bit to see where you can take us next. |
Current Events |
Not only is Voldemort and his loony Death Eaters causing problems for the Wizarding World, but there is a serial killer that is making everyone nervous. Katherine Rosier is doing all that she can so Millicent Bagnold will be recalled as Minister so Voldemort can take over. Alecto Carrow seeks revenge for the murder of her brother, Amycus, at the hands of Mary MacDonald and Marlene McKinnon. Most of the characters are in hiding and hating it, leading them to come up with creative ways to kill Voldemort, not to mention, the Order knows about the Horcruxes thanks to one Regulus Black, and they've already destroyed one all because the Lovegoods are B.A.M.F.'s and they need to find the rest! |
The Players |
We're currently seeking dedicated writers who are interested in character development, participating in game-wide plots, changing canon through their actions and interactions, and truly exploring the 'what-ifs' of the HP-Verse that canon ruined for us. |
Coming Soon |
Bellatrix Lestrange is going to attempt to kidnap the Minister for Magic and impersonate her, but not to let Voldemort take over, but because she wants to be in charge, clear her name, and finally have the 'right' side in charge. Voldemort on the other hand wants Bellatrix and Rodolphus' child dead, the attention back on himself, and to find out how in the hell these damn babies are supposed to defeat him. Regulus Black is about to be tested in a big way, someone is going to be forced to take the mark, and the serial killer will be revealed! After a failed attempt to kill Alice Longbottom, of course. And poor Marlene McKinnon is about to pop out Severus Snape's child.
But in order for these things to be as kick-ass as we want them to be, we need a few characters. Our most wanted characters are:
Lily Potter, Xenophilius Lovegood, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Cassidy Longbottom, Michael Brown, and a whole bunch more! Not to mention, poor Regulus really needs him someone to drag him out of that damn closet he's hiding in. |

| Pax Letale: a modern myth game |

PAX LETALE: GODS REBORN
In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there.
Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity, some of whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull.
For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale.
A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place.
Available Tenants:Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities. Frigg is considered the queen of the Norse pantheon. She is associated with married women, childbirth, and on occasion, unrevealed prophecy. Her human counterpart may have interactions with the whole of the Norse pantheon, but most closely with her husband Odin, her sons Baldr and Höðr, and with Loki, who orchestrated Baldr's death. Spider Grandmother is a creator goddess present in the pantheons of several Native American tribes. Legend says she sang humanity into being, and created the stars from a web laced with dew. Her human host may have connections to other members of the Native American pantheons, as well as to other deities of creation or growth. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTSDon't see a tenant that interests you? Other deities and pantheons are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it.Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons.MODS | RPG | OOC | PREMISE | AVAILABLE | RULES | CHARACTERS | |
