Rome

The citizens of Rome, one of the most powerful empires in the ancient world, spend their days working through streets crowded with beggars and merchants. One cannot move past an alley without being flanked by a butcher working on a pig to the right, a Pagan shrine to the Goddess of the Earth on the left -- Everything set in a harmonious fashion without ever taking note to the potential of disharmony hidden directly beneath the surface. At the forum there are glances toward a gladiator arena and the platform being erected for a slave auction near the steps of the esteemed senate.

There are grain ships sitting at the docks and men unload the bounty under the watchful leadership of man that is little more than a gang-leader. Men and women live their lives, pleading cases to Senators as they pass and then to the strong men of the street after justice refuses them. No one knows that one, the other, or both might just be a creature that would come to be known as a vampire, for at this time it is just a whispered idea of a curse rampant in the upper class.

Stories are told, and legends are made each day on the streets of the early Roman empire. Many feel they are simply creating and telling fairy tales to keep children out of the woods when they talk about centaurs and satyrs, while the tutor working with their children grins and fidgets inside his human form -- Desperately wanting to stretch his legs as he runs through the woods. The creature within him hidden away in his mortal disguise.

Patrician families have been infiltrated by vampires, though the word doesn’t even really exist just yet outside the race itself, and the creatures of stories are hidden throughout Rome in all her facets, hidden beneath human dress and flesh, helping or hindering as they see fit. Rome is a city built on hills, controlled by the strongest of any given moment, and ruled by whatever is being whispered on the streets.

Ye Gods!

In centuries past, mortals believed in superstition. They believed in gods. They believed in other worlds. They believed in magic. The mist between the world of mortals and the realm of the gods was thinner then, and it was clearer where they overlapped. As human civilization evolved, and fewer and fewer people chose to believe in the other world at all, the thicker the mist grew, and the more separated the parallel worlds became. Mortals were blessed (and cursed) to see only what they wanted to see. They went about their business and fought their wars unable to see that the gods were still very much alive and still pulling the strings as they had done since the beginning of time.

Now, the gods use the children they have with mortals - their demi-gods - as chess pieces in their intrigues. This is where you enter. You are a mortal with a divine parent. You're not a god, but you are an important tool in their agendas. You may be that piece that stands between lightness, darkness, and utter chaos. What role will you play in this divine struggle?

[info]yegods is a modern fantasy roleplaying game inspired by White Wolf's Scion setting and Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series.

Game opens September 1st!

In 2012, humanity flourished. Violet Inc., a powerful scientific corporation, began the undertaking of a new project. Project Eden was meant to solve all of the world’s problems and give humanity a chance to do things right. By 2016, Violet Inc. had made the United States a world superpower like it had never been before. Change was happening for the better. Many thought it a perfect age…until the disappearances began in 2017. People simply vanished, without rhyme or reason. Panic spread like wildfire and blame was thrown in every direction. A second wave of disappearances left the international community blaming the United States and the ever mysterious Violet Inc. The world was struck again soon after, as all major U.S. cities were gutted and leveled from numerous nuclear explosions. There was no warning. No light in the sky. Simply devastation.

The current year is 2024, six years after the second Disappearance and the ravaging of the United States' major cities. Survivors have moved to rural areas or the wilderness. Strength lies always in numbers, as they say. Cults, gangs and tribes have taken hold in place of the civilized order that once was. Does the wasteland hold any hope? If so, does it lie within the structured puritanism of Angel Fire or in the chaos of Eagle Nest? Only those who continue to survive can decide what will come from humanity’s violet hour: rebuild for tomorrow or seize the day while it still remains?

**The friendliest game out there, with lots of positions and plots open!**

Since its founding in 1892, Clifton has always been a town divided by its train tracks. Based on the textile industry, there are those that manage and those that work. The East side of the town consists of the Haves while the West is the home of the Have-Nots. In the central part of the town are the three major factories:

Ashford Designs: the leader in men's, women's, and children's clothing.
Steele Toes: a major producer of work boots.
Sweet Dreams: a top manufacturer of baby clothing and accessories.

Though over one hundred years have passed, the town is no closer to unity. The rich stay on their side of town while the less wealthy stay on theirs though there are extremes to both social classes. Each side has their shops, their restaurants, and even their own schools. The three factories are still going strong; however, some residents are slowly spreading out to other local businesses and even commute to nearby New York City. Growth is occurring all around them even if some in Clifton are still stuck in their ways.

This past summer changed everything, however. A severe weather pattern brought the worst weather the town had seen in a century. The tornado that blew through the area reduced East Clifton High to nothing but rubble, leaving the students with nowhere to go. After arguing and debating amongst the residents of Clifton, Mayor Wilson Davis made the final call to combine East Clifton High with West Clifton High.

Few are happy with the arrangement. Not only are there years of prejudice to overcome, but there is overcrowding, biases, and even the merging of school teams causing chaos. But they've got to make it work somehow. Will the merging of the two schools unite the town once and for all, or tear them apart irreparably?
