What if the Greeks had been right?

Although thousands of years have passed since the Greeks were the magnificent empire of yore, the memorable persons that populated their fables and their explanations -- gods and goddesses, heroes and nymphs, muses that bring their inspired artists to their knees -- have been forgotten as truth and instead regarded as beautiful, if fictional, characters. Angered by the disrespect the human race has paid them, the Olympian gods devised a plan: go down to earth, as they were wont to do, and stir things up. After all, hadn't they done that so many times before, interacting with the mortal men of their creation to satisfy a bit of boredom? They needed to be taught a lesson.

Except for one thing: without the power of belief and faith behind them, the gods found their powers a bit... lacking. Rather than ending up on earth as the all-powerful beings who brought mortals trembling to the ground, they ended up as... mortals. Mortals who just so happened to be reincarnated mythological figures. Mortals who just so happened to be reincarnated mythological figures in New York. As their memories come through, will it disrupt the lifetime of personality they have set up for themselves? How will it affect their relationships? And will they ever be able to exact their revenge?

Letalis is a Greek mythology game that uses premades as a starting device for CR with other players. We encourage our prospective players to not only think outside the box when it comes to plot but also to feel free to break away from the premade description as the game evolves. We are hoping to be a dynamic community heavy on relationships and character development as the cast reconciles their identities as both mortal men and women and the gods and goddesses of mythos.

PREMISE
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. A place to raise a family, be safe, and offer this opportunity to multiple classes. Thanks to the generosity of several unnamed benefactors, this was able to happen.

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, with an over­arching and game-wide plot, Mar­chen intends to be a unique roleplaying experience.

FOR RENT
THE LITTLE MERMAID refuses to be called a child, despite being barely anything but. An avid dancer and swimmer, she’s always active and on the go - and trying to escape her controlling parents. Recently, she’s moved in with her uncle, the Happy Prince, in order to prove to her family that maybe next year she’ll be capable of living on her own. She’s idolized the Selkie from a young age and finding her just downstairs is enough to leave her speechless. Now, if only she could bring herself to say something when she passes next...

Genome Project [19 Jan 2012|07:52pm]


The year is 2032. The scientists have successfully kept their project a secret, hiding away in an island town of Maine. They've censored, monitored, and all but controlled the mutated, posing as doctors, teachers, and trusted family members. Powers have been emerging for the past two years and it's their job to test the limits and ensure human safety. Can they stay within the ethical bounds? Will the mutated figure out what's really going on? More are starting to ask questions, and mysterious circumstances surround events that should be very cut and dry. The experiments are far from over, but the danger is just beginning.

The Genome Project is a game focusing on original characters with super powers and the scientists that mutated them, with a few accidental killings and government agents thrown into the mix. We just celebrated our two year anniversary.

Open powers include: alchemy, cryokinesis, enhanced strength, healing, illusion, lie detection, mediumship, shapeshifting, technopathy and many more! We're always looking for new scientists to get more involved, as well as more mutants to push back against. Check out our premade list for pre-established lines needed.

The Orient Express - A Panfandom Experience [19 Jan 2012|09:16pm]

The Space-Time Orient Express
A MULTI-FANDOM EXPERIENCE

Thank you for choosing the Space-Time Orient Express! You have currently boarded a Möbius class locomotive. The Möbius is no ordinary railway service. Equipped with a self-propelled steam engine, first-class parlour, observation and dining cars with dedicated kitchen cars, and an ever-expanding fleet of sleeper carriages, we pride ourselves on our frontline stewards' excellence of service. The Möbius' routes are neither here nor there. Defy the spacetime continuum. Immerse yourself in a side of the universe you've never before encountered. Be a part of the legend. Every stopover is guaranteed to be an exciting new adventure.

Notice from the Senior Conductor
Due to unforeseen instrumental and environmental factors, the Möbius is being evacuated and as of now is designated a RUNAWAY. We are currently aware of the situation in which involuntary and quite unsuspecting non-passengers are being commandeered by the vehicle's inter-dimensional engine.

Please be advised that these units are uniquely designed to traverse between alternate realities and dimensions. It is imperative that you not be disembarked at the train's hour of departure. Those who choose to disembark in a foreign world do so at their own risk and peril of being stranded indefinitely. The Space-Time Orient Express cannot be held liable for the retrieval of passengers with implied intent to remain at the destination. An intent to remain can be demonstrated by a failure to board at the designated hour of departure.

Rescue is underway at operational headquarters and our specialists are working around the clock to track the Möbius. However, the renegade nature of the train presents inherent challenges in anticipating its route. We ask you please to remain calm during these trying times. Godspeed.
