World’s End is a panfandom game focusing on the survivors of destroyed worlds, and what they choose to do afterward. Some try to eek out a new existence at “The World’s End,” a world many of the displaced arrived at after the destruction of their home world. Others seek to combat what is commonly called “the darkness,” the eater of worlds, and prevent it from corrupting and destroying even more worlds. Some study “The Door” at The World’s End, and the machinery left behind by Ansem the Wise, hoping to gain information that may allow them to restore the lost worlds and those who lived there.
The outlook is bleak, and oblivion waits just outside the door, but they aren’t called “survivors” for no reason, and there may be a way to fix this yet. But they’ll have to work with strangers to do it, if they don’t destroy themselves from within first.
Opens January 4 2010!

| Gotham by Night |
[26 Dec 2009|03:40pm] |
 ~*~ Graphic by Evans@RPG-D ~*~
The fall of Carmine Falcone and the defeat of the Scarecrow and his shadowy allies were supposed to save Gotham. The corruption and crime, poverty and fear, all were to become things of the past. After that momentous night when the Batman saved the city, the sun should have risen on a bright new day.
But the darkness and decay ran too deep.
The Narrows remains a wasteland slum of despair. Lunatics loosed from Arkham Asylum still roam free, preying on the unwary. War rages through the streets as gangsters battle over the shattered pieces of what was once the Falcone empire. And now those madmen and criminals are being joined by a new, more sinister breed, masked villains drawn to Gotham by the opportunities in the chaos and the challenge of the Batman.
But the Dark Knight inspires as well, and other masked vigilantes are rising up to join him in the fight for the city's soul while the citizens can only pray that the hour is not too late.
Welcome to Gotham, where sometimes the knights wear black, the dragons wear white, and between them fall a thousand shades of gray.
********************
Gotham by Night is a literate rp set in the dark, gritty world of Batman Begins and welcoming realistic characters from the DCU. We use both forum and journal formats with threads cross-posted between them. Players are welcome to play in either or both formats.

Apartments For RentVACANT. Victor Frankenstein's formative years were defined largely by tragedy, and the young man developed an obsession with the science of death. Thanks to a suggestion from Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde, an old school friend, he's moved to Bellum Letale to (unsuccessfully) hide from his beloved creation, Annabel Lee, and he's decided to keep Ichabod Crane, his closest friend, from learning his terrible secret.
VACANT. Meg Giry is a dancer in a very well-known strip joint in New York. It completely clashes with her puritanical upbringing, and her best friend (and secret crush) Christine Daae doesn't quite get it--she also doesn't know that Meg Giry is a lesbian. Meg Giry's noticed The Phantom hanging around the building lately, even if Christine Daae hasn't, and she doesn't like it one bit. Her only confidant in the building is Rose Red, who she is desperately attracted to. She's had a fling or two with several residents, however, including Van Helsing and the Cheshire Cat, and just for fun she's been hanging around a lot with Guinevere. Sure, she doesn't like the woman that way, but it's stirring up some great rumors.
VACANT. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS.
Premise:
There is an apartment building in New York called 'Bellum Letale.' Most people ignore its auspicious name, though they would be advised to pay more attention to its meaning.
It is a strange building.
Every man, woman and child in the building is a reincarnated fable, the stories told to human children for hundreds, sometimes thousands of years. Once very real, the fables began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. They have all been reborn in human forms, though their essence remains, waiting to be awakened at the right time, in the right place.
Now is the time - Bellum Letale is the place. As their lives connect and weave together, as they follow their petty desires and long-held grudges, they are, all of them, on the brink of disaster. Their Landlord knows their every move, and the building they live in seems to have an agenda of its own. People are tortured, people die, people plot behind each other's backs and sneak around and cheat. They love, they fight, they draw blood. This is not the fairy tale you remember being told. |

On May 1st, 2009, the existence of the supernatural was revealed to the world. Vampires, werewolves, and more exist. They are coming out of the shadows and into the light - and they come with a message. They mean no harm or danger to humans. But there are other things out there that do.
The descendants of demons. Sirens. And the mysterious race known as the Dream Eaters - the baku - that feed on dreams and nightmares, and can use their powers for good or evil. And the angels that once protected our realm have mysteriously disappeared.
The events regarding the supernatural that unraveled this May came to be known as the Light of May. Those who have lived their lives in secrecy and shadow can come into the light. But what of those who embrace the shadow? The darker sorts of the world, who regard us as little more than play-things or food?
The world as we know it has been forever changed. Along with their new supernatural neighbors, the human race is unknowingly preparing for a war between darkness and light.
Which side are you on?
