Forget the sparkly, red shoes. Forget Toto. Forget Kansas. And Elphaba and Fiyero and Shiz University? Those don’t exist. This Land of Oz draws inspiration from L. Frank Baum's and Gregory Maguire’s masterpieces, but it stretches things in ways that neither of them dreamed up and creates an alternate universe of what could have been.
Meet Raslan, the new Wizard of Oz. Unlike his infamous predecessor, he actually has power. Immense power. His bitter, greedy, and blackened heart yearns for indestructibility.. and he will stop at nothing to get it. Dark was the day that Raslan Galdar took over as the Head Wizard of Emerald City. Dark, and filled with darker days to come.. |

The year is 2200 and New York City is one of five major cities that has survived since the epidemic that wiped out the majority of the United States, however, one would never know that outside the shining city, there is only ruins and miles of desolate terrain. In the mid Twenty First Century Biological Warfare was on the rise and as a result a plague was released, which spread through, not only the air, but the water as well. Within days half of the world’s population was wiped out, but five US cities built shelters, which housed a large number of the remaining population. When they emerge, only those who had been lucky enough to get into the shelters remained.
This resulted in a new beginning.
The remaining cities; Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Chicago and Boston often compete with one another, which has led Novus Initium, the new government of New York, to begin taking people they deem interesting from various works of fiction and integrating them into the city. Some were chosen primarily for their various skills; be that defense, business, art, etc. Everyone has a place there.
Novus Initium are waiting to welcome all newcomers to Ellis Island. All new arrivals are tested for strength, speed and general knowledge. Upon arrival they will find that a chip has been inserted into their forearm for tracking purposes. Novus Initium will also gift each newcomer with a state of the art smart phone before being sent to begin their lives in Novus. While it seems friendly enough, what lurks on the outside might not be as welcoming.

Once Upon A Time is such an innocuous phrase. No one says when that time is. There’s nothing to say that it wasn’t 1838. 1924. 2012.
Once Upon A Time, a building was built on a vacant lot in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The area had been left alone for years, unclaimed by state or owner due to a technicality in legal work. The lot was rumored to be haunted, because of a ghastly ghost story which circled the area. In the late 2000’s construction began, creating a building that was advertized as reinventing the apartment complex - Marchen Heights.
It appealed to the wealthy, looking for a new place to claim. For some, it was an escape from bitter exes or a past rife with scandal. It appealed to the poor, when a lottery offered spots to a select few. For them, it was a chance to flee an abusive home or try to make it in a grim world. It appealed to those who fell in between, not realizing they needed a change. Moving across the Charles River – or further – wasn’t always their intention. Marchen Heights and the people who rented out the apartments were impossible to resist.
What few realized though was that those given the chance to live in this complex were not there to seek out a fairytale life. That had already been granted to them. There’s reason to fear the man with rumors about past wives – to be kind to the maid with ashy feet. Each resident has a story even though they’re not aware of it yet.
Marchen Heights is a fairytale and folklore based game with a set time frame. Characters are based on figures from tales around the world and will be ensnared in the mysteries of Marchen. A smaller, fast-paced game, Marchen intends to be a unique roleplaying experience.
