The Game, Incarnate.

It is the nature of life to cycle. All things go in circles, from the helplessness of infancy to the helplessness of old age, from the role of daughter to mother, son to father. Human events cycle through peace and war over and over again. Hearts are broken and won by turns. Civilizations swell and then recede like tides through human history. Life continues.

Stories, too, cycle. The strongest stories begin with people, who tell them to their children and their grandchildren. Sometimes stories are treasured over wealth, even worshiped as lifelines against the turning confusion of chance. Stories found societies and anchor families. They teach both young and old the value of life. They drive culture and reflect change.

They also live.
People today cling to the real. They worship their own ambition and dismiss the stories of old as dusty, irrelevant pictures of times that no longer matter. Our world is not a world of stories, but a world of cheaply painted scenery and cardboard cutouts of heroes. No one has time for stories anymore.

Yet some people who live today are much more than real. They are a generation of stories incarnate, gods and legends, fables and folklore. In these gray days of reality they find themselves unable to ignore their pasts, blessed or cursed with abilities and attributes impossible to explain in cold modernity. They are beginning to discover tangible relics of the past, items that still hold power even now. Through a journal page they are now discovering each other, and as the days pass it becomes more and more clear that stories, no matter how hard they try, will not be ignored.

I’d had more than my fair share of near-death experiences;
it wasn’t something you ever really got used to.

Senior year. Graduation. War with an army of vampiric newborns. It's been a busy year for one Bella Swan, now Bella Cullen, and yet she doesn’t have much to complain about. She's now married, on her honeymoon, and the promise of eternity with the man she loves.

But the treaty with the Pack is still hanging by a precarious thread. Once Bella returns home they'll still need to figure out what to do and how to keep their peace. And Maria, her new presence in Forks is driving the family in different directions and adding more tension to an already volatile situation. And then there is the Volturi, growing anxious each passing day as no word or proof of Bella's immortality is given.

Diagon Alley – May 2003

The Battle of Hogwarts was a trying time for all of the Wizarding World, but the forces of good triumphed in the end. The Miniser of Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt invites you to join a celebration of that victory in Rosebud Park. Live music, good food and fireworks! (Fireworks provided by Weasley Wizard Wheezes--please use caution.) However, all is not safe as the leader of the band of thieves that has been terrorizing Diagon Alley for much of the month of April makes his final, desperate move after his associates have all been imprisoned. Will everyone make it out alive? Join today to find out!

Later this month The Daily Prophet is proud to announce that their popular Ask A Witch column is back. Have a question, well Mabel Merriweather has the answer. From boyfriend troubles to dying plants to how to get rid of a pesky poltergeist, Mabel's wise advice will lead you in the right direction. Or not. Submit your question by owl today, and every Wednesday tune in for her answers!

Opening May 14th: An exciting new dance club, Number 9 will be situated on Diagon Alley between Quality Quidditch Supplies and Owain's Grocers. Owned and operated by Krystal Kartwright, Number 9 plans to celebrate their Grand Opening with a little something extra. For one night only drinks will be free of charge, just pay a low cover charge and the rest is covered. Weird Sisters to perform!

Plus much more planned for the month of May, including weekly challenge threads designed to amp up character activity and provide fun, interesting mini-plots to build the game.

Game Background

It's 2003 and the Wizarding World has come a long way since the Final Battle. Death Eaters have been tried and dealt with fairly under the watchful eye of the new Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt and a reformed Wizengamot. Diagon Alley and Hogwarts have been rebuilt. Slowly the magical community has rebuilt and healed from the destruction of Voldemort's reign. Most characters make their home within Diagon Alley as new flats and residences have opened their doors.

Most Wanted Characters:

Bill, Ginny Percy, & Fleur Weasley
Parvati Patil
Oliver Wood
Aurors, Ministry professionals, Quidditch players
Hufflepuffs & Slytherins

Our Game & Players

Charing Cross is a unique game where each month a new plot is presented for the characters. Much like real life the characters must react to current events as well as manage their personal relationships. Our hope is that through these small, short-lived plots players will take the opportunity to develop their characters and relationships with other players. We also encourage small group plots, such as book clubs, bowling leagues and writer's circles among many others.

Charing Cross has a small group of dedicated, talented creative writers who are hopeful for new friends. We're looking for equally dedicated writers who want to experience a slightly different RPG experience. The mods are friendly and easy-going and encourage player input. We're looking for players who bring something slightly different to the table as well, with fresh, exciting characters. There are plenty of interactive experiences just waiting to happen, so give us a chance and we think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Future Plot

Don't worry -- when the current plot ends the game won't stop! The mods are busy developing the next bit of action and whatever it is -- We promise it will be EPIC! Previous plots have included gender swaps, masquerade balls and karaoke nights. We encourage player input into what they'd like to see next, and there's even a portion of the application where prospective players can have their say.

Erased: Where Cartoons Meet Reality!

It started with Pixar. While Woody felt himself being swiftly replaced by a shiny, new Rocketman, the two dimensional cartoon world saw the beginning of what would be their end. Some cartoons had already slipped into a comfortable retirement, but most saw the death of their own genre as the shiny, three dimensional world took over. But, instead of being erased from pop culture history, the old world entered the new. Broke through it, in fact.

Roger Rabbit was the first to leave Toontown. He had always been known for having one foot in the door and one out, but better for being completely obsolete as soon as his movie ended. One morning he woke up in the real life body of Roger Baxter, an up and coming television star. The two Rogers were forced to make sense of each other, exist in the same body and help other cartoons that were jumping off the page into the streets of Los Angeles.

This is Erased. A game about your childhood and how it just can't seem to slip away.

Nostalgia can never be Erased...

Darkness Rising






Currently Casting | Casting Studio | Application | Rules | Darkness Rising RPG Community


"….Voldemort's powerful now. You don't know who his supporters are, you don't know who's working for him and who isn't; you know he can control people so that they do terrible things without being able stop themselves. You're scared for yourself, and your family, and your friends. Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing … The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere … panic … confusion …"

Across Europe the Wizarding Community lies in fear. Voldemort and his followers are on the rise, leaving behind a reign of terror in their wake. As his numbers increase, Wizards begins to grow more uneasy, increasingly choosing to fall prey to his Empire, out of fear, unwilling to stand up and fight.

In spite of the increasing danger, a small group of vigilante Wizards have begun a rebellion, daring to do what the Ministry fears to do; fight. The Order of the Phoenix is slowly growing into a force to be reckoned with, threatening not only Voldemort, but the Ministry itself.

Change is on the brink for the students of Hogwarts. No longer will they be safe behind the confines of the castle, unaware to the real dangers of the world. They will soon be forced to make their own loyalties known; a decision that will affect not only the rest of their lives, but the entire Wizarding World.

Amongst the darkness, these students are potentially the light needed to give the Order the man power to take on Voldemort’s forces. As both sides fight to gain support, one question lies: which side do you choose?


Darkness Rising is a canon compliant Marauders Era RPG taking place in 1978. Game opened February 1, 2009.

Most Wanted: Amycus Carrow, Xeno Lovegood, Alastor Moody, Peter Pettigrew, Fabian and Gideon Prewett, James Potter, Kingsley Shacklebolt, and many others!

Recasting (Most Wanted): Alecto Carrow, Rabastan and Rodolphus Lestrange, Frank Longbottom, and others. All recast information can be found

THE QUARANTINED: A SURVIVAL GAME

PREMISE

You wake up to the smell of smoke.


In the year 2008, a virus swept North America. Ever vigilant for a pandemic, citizens boarded up their windows, stockpiled their canned goods, and turned their neighbors in to the CDC. Short wave radios fell off the shelves, evacuation routes were prepared. Gas masks and specialty filtration systems were distributed. Pills were available for those showing early symptoms. Pills that did not work. That were later replaced with cyanide as their active ingredient. For those who were brave enough to put their fingers near a loved one's mouth. The United States, Canada, Mexico, the virus swept down into South America and festered in the heat of the jungle. In some places it burned out. Superstition ruled and saved lives. But nothing stopped the virus.

You wake up to the crackle of dead airwaves.


Three months after the first diagnosed case of Currere Excessum was recorded, NATO approved Great Britain's use of nuclear force against the United States. It was assumed that all organic material would be reduced to ash under the impact. It was assumed that the Quarantine of the Americas would be temporary, at best. Any who survived the blast would be given the highest in humanitarian attention and medical care. The only American emissaries who knew of the plan lay incinerated in Washington. The Quarantine continued. The Americas lay abandoned. Empty.

Heroes Fugitives

PREMISE :: TAKEN :: WANTED :: RULES :: APPLY

ReOpening on Monday May 18th, 2009!
Specifically Looking For: MATT PARKMAN, ANDO MASAHASHI, MOHINDER SURESH,
Tracy Strauss, Rachel Mills, The Haitian, Meredith, Red Eye, Sandra and more!!

After the events of March 29th, 2007 our Heroes are disheartened, spread across the U.S., and quickly losing their numbers. And to make matters worse, one of their own was working up a plan that would sacrifice his peers to better himself. As if that weren't enough, someone is out there with malicious intent toward people who are "special". Someone is hunting and rounding up anyone with abilities. No one knows who the hunter is or where the hunter comes from. And no one knows where their peers are going. Will opposing sides find allies in each other to end this menace, or will they do as they always have and serve only themselves and their own purposes? Only time will tell... and time is something they're running out of.

HeroesFugitives will parallel Volume 4 of the series starting from March 30th, 2007 (after episode 3.13 Dual) and run in real time. We will be mostly AU from there, but will incorporate some of the events that take place in the rest of season 3 with our game.

The year is 2908 and a revolution is brewing: a war between the rogue pirates of deep space and the United Nations issued battleships sent out to silence the rebels that speak out against the government’s propaganda. It’s the era of spies, of honor, princesses and princes, and rebels - those who go against the law and those who enforce it - and there’s only one question that is on everyone’s minds: who’s side are you on?

Cross Academy

CROSS ACADEMY
Cross Academy, a distinguished boarding school, is attended by two groups of students: the Day Class and the Night Class. At twilight, when the students of the Day Class return to their dorm, they cross paths with the Night Class on their way to school. The Night Class is an elite group of noble students. But the Day Class does not know the Night Class' dark secret: the Night Class is full of vampires and it is up to the Disciplinary Committee to make sure that the Day Class is protected from this secret.

Cross Academy was created as part of a experiment to see if vampires could bear living with the humans they lived to hunt. The expansive campus accommodates high school and college students alike with two main buildings for classes, four dormitories, and a library on the far end of the campus.

Prom is May 22nd! Get your tickets now!
