Oh Marvelous: A Marvel Universe Game

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, 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.

Perfect World: fantasy in the heart of Tokyo

PLOT | FAQ | CHARACTERS | CANONS
Perfect World is an urban fantasy roleplay set in present-day Tokyo, inspired by Watase Yuu's Fushigi Yuugi (the Mysterious Play), with additional inspiration from themes found in the Dresden Files, Darker Than Black, Supernatural, and other such media. The walls between the worlds have thinned, making magic and demons commonplace; people must deal with the mundane and the supernatural with equal seriousness and aplomb.

We offer homes for canon characters from the source material and original characters of whatever fantasy power level strikes you as interesting. Magicians rub elbows with schoolgirls; priestesses run contact with salarymen; shinto demons and spirituality gone amuck. Choose your own adventure, where the adventure is awesome.

Character types that might have some fun here:

  • Regular, modern-day people: students, businessmen, real-life folks
  • Organized (or unorganized) crime
  • Magicians of various flavors
  • Shapeshifters, particularly of an Asian variety (kitsune == rad)
  • Shinto clergy and/or other people who can handle demons
  • Angry spirits, youkai, things that go bump in the night
  • The hands of the beast gods and their phenomenal cosmic powers
  • Historians, linguists, social scientists, paranormal experts

Canon knowledge is not required, and anything necessary can get picked up from places like Wikipedia with ease, so don't be afraid of a little backstory! It's all in what you make of it.

A seriously cracked out and stupidly active game.

Canon Future Gen goes back in time to 1996 to find that the stories they grew up hearing from their parents have all been changed. The Blacks run the Ministry of Magic and Voldemort disappeared in 1980. Nothing is the way it's supposed to be.

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?

INCANTO














INCANTO

a Marauder Era RPG


It's 1977; school's out for Summer, but this Summer feels strange... dark, somehow. It won't be long before school will start again, and Owls from Hogwarts are winging their way across the country with the promise of another perfectly normal year at Hogwarts. Homework will be piled on, the threat of looming exams being beaten into ignorant minds, but for now, at least, it's Summer, yet... something doesn't feel right.

It's so much darker this year than it was last year. The days seem to be shortening beyond comprehension. The fog is thick and cold and constant, not to mention the fact that everyone seems so glum. There are disappearances being noted in the newspaper, but everything seems vague, as though someone knows what is going on, but too afraid to voice it aloud.

The adults seem a bit on edge, uncertain how to handle the evil that is lurking in the shadows. The students, for the most part, are completely unaware of what is going on, even those whose parents are deep in the throes of swearing their allegiance to one side or another. The students, it seems, live in a world of their own, one untouched by the misery and doom of the outside world.

Still, there seems to be something very unpleasant lurking unsaid, something creeping and crawling into the very veins of those it infects. Though there are only whispers, and people are afraid to voice their fears out loud, there are some things that cannot be fought. After all, it's difficult to feel protected by magic when the other side can use it, too.




Incanto is a straightforward Marauder Era game. No weird twists, no time travel, nothing out of the ordinary. If you just want a game that is canon, then this is for you. Our emphasis in this game is on character development rather than plot development - we will not puppeteer your characters and encourage you to generate your own plots.

In short: we just want to play, and if you want to play, THEN PLAY WITH US.

It's the end of the world as we know it, and everything's fine.

Both Buffy and Angel have had their apocalypses; Sunnydale is a huge smoking crater, and Los Angeles is ticking on like nothing ever happened. Except something did. Somehow, Buffy and Angel are the new owners of the deserted Wolfram and Hart building, there's gold name-plates on the top floor condos for both teams, Buffy's and Angel's, and nobody quite knows what's going on with the Senior Partners or if they're even still in play. All they do know is, someone has been notifying all the brand-new Slayers and telling them to come out to Los Angeles and hop in the sandbox.

On which side of the fence do you fall?
