It all started when the Joker took Gotham hostage.
It awakened something dark in our nature,
Worse than the mobs or the thugs,
And now evil spills out from the Pandora's Box he opened.

Batman: Rogues' Gallery is a Nolan-verse RPG centered around the origins of Batman's greatest nemeses and focusing on Gotham's descent into crime, anarchy and madness. The story begins with the Joker's incarceration at Arkham Asylum following an elaborate plot against Gotham City. While inspired by Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, the plot of this game deviates from the movie on a few key points (please see the premise and character list for more details).

We Are All Family Here!

Drop Box/FAQ ~ Premises ~ Rules ~ Application ~ Wanted/Hold Characters ~ Taken Characters ~

Family. Everyone wants one, but not everyone wants the one they have. Some are born alone in the world, some loose what semblance of a family they have through divorce, death, or distance. But not all families are blood relatives. The most curious types of families that come together because of a common attitude, interest, or goals. They find each other because they need the comforts of family and an ideal that will stick them together when other families would crumble apart. The loyalty and devotion to this new family entity becomes so strong in these cases that outsiders don’t quite understand what’s really going on.

After seeing the world around him reject him for what he was, Samuel looked for others like him, others who knew what it was like to be an outcast but no longer wanted that lifestyle for themselves. The family came first, and then the carnival was created so they could live, work, and thrive together. The carnival gave them a way to show off what others found horrifying – their abilities. It isn’t all fun and games though at the carnival – there is hard work and everyone has to do their part, but when you’re family, you do things for others that you might not do on your own.

A commitment to this carnival is a commitment to being in the family. It isn’t always easy to join the family, but it’s even harder to leave. Most never want to though, who would give up the chance of a lifetime – to be wanted, needed even, and be able to truly be themselves?

Oh Marvelous: A Marvel Universe Game [17 Nov 2009|08:17am]
Oh Marvelous: A Marvel RPG
"Did you ever have one of those lives?"

You inhabit a fantastical universe where anything can happen. Super powered beings exist, and living a sane life is no easy feat for anyone. In such an extraordinary world, an average day can be ruined by the strangest of threats; be it viral zombies, megalomaniacal criminals or assassination attempts. All just part of a normal day in a very abnormal world. You don’t even glance up at the shrill whine of sirens or the roar of a giant monster a few blocks over. In the sky above a caped character is flying towards the fray; a member of some super hero team or perhaps a lone vigilante. Maybe the monster is a mythical creature or an invading alien or a minion of the latest super villain. A van is hurled down the street followed by another angry howl but you go casually about your business- buy your newspaper, sip your latte- and mutter cynically to yourself,

"[info]oh_marvelous."

Oh Marvelous is an age 18+, social, thread based, third person, AU Marvel RPG played in real time (quite a mouthful). The game is set in present day. Although the game is New York centered, action takes place in locations all over the world. Plot is primarily player driven with occasional inclusive plots that affect the entire game. This game does not follow any set timeline or particular Marvel continuity. That means that pretty much anything goes.

Nearside :: City Based - 17 & Up [17 Nov 2009|04:59pm]


Welcome to Nearside, Pennsylvania!

Are you a fan of good music, great eats, and fantastic conversation? If so, then you're at the right place! Solaris Rd. in Nearside, Pennsylvania offers all of the above, plus an extra unique charm.

Looking for fresh-brewed coffee while listening to local bands, head over to Crevasse Coffeehouse. Need a little something sweet to satisfy a craving? Then Candi's Creme Confections is your place (mind the baker with dreads; he bites)! How about some crazy costumes for your themed dinner? Well, there's nowhere better to go than Madame Blueberry's Clothing and Costuming (don't worry about the scowling young lady, she probably won't hurt you).

There are several popular restaurants, all the books you could ever need, and beautiful antiques. For the of-age crowd, we even provide a full service bar to wet your whistle. Then, after you're done exploring the wonders of Nearside and need a little relaxation, hop on over to New Beginnings Yoga studio to unwind. Need to drop off the kiddies? Have no fear, the Little Sprout Daycare is here! So, come down to Solaris Rd., where you are guaranteed a good time.

*Mod Note: Nearside is a social game, focused on character development and looking for serious writers. You won't find zombies, murders, big-name celebrities, vampires, or people waving around magical wands. Nearside is a game where talented writers have a chance to simply play out various storylines in a relaxed atmosphere. You can either own/work at a shop or just be a loyal fan, the mods are only looking for dedicated writers who are in the mood for a fun game.

"Torchwood: outside the government, beyond the police; tracking down alien life on Earth, and arming the human race against the future. The Twenty-First Century is when it all changes. And Torchwood is ready."

It all changes here: Cardiff. Welcome to Torchwood Three.

Located in an underground base called the Hub and under the command of Captain Jack Harkness, Torchwood Three has the task of monitoring the time rift and phenomena associated with it, as well as securing for Torchwood any artifacts that might come through. The Rift, situated in (and above) Cardiff, stretches about five miles from Cardiff Bay.

Mission profile and operations:
» Defend Earth at any cost
» Rift monitoring and control
» Weevil containment
» Caring for rift returnees
» Reverse-engineering technology

Have you got what it takes to work for Torchwood? Or maybe you've seen the strange looking blue police box that sometimes appears on the Roald Dahl Plass?
