The spirit of Shakespearean Theatre lives on in Stratford, Ontario in Canada. Established in 1915, was the Stratford Liberal Arts University. The school where your favorite characters from William Shakespeare's plays enroll or teach.
Tragedy has struck the school this year when the President of the University, Hamilton Prince Sr. died under mysterious circumstances during the summer. To make the it more controversial, the late President was replaced by his brother Claudius Prince, who married widow Gertrude Prince only a couple months after the tragic death. The staff are nervous to see the affect this will have on English Professor, and only son of the former President, Hamilton Prince Jr. So far the school has tried to go back to normal.
The Winter Semester has just started. The winter productions will be starting rehearsals soon, and all the classes are already going underway. Soon enough, it will be midterms. The Student Union has gone through changes, since Duncan Scott was kicked out of school, leaving Nathaniel Bath to take over as President of the Student Union.
Student life seems to be getting more hectic and full of stress and the Professor's lives aren't much easier. With all the controversy and strange coincidences, will they be able to make it through the year? Follow your favorite plots, or create some more drama for yourself. For “All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players”! |

"….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 has begun to pull ranks, 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 and 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: Sirius Black, Edgar Bones, Fenrir Greyback, Rodolphus Lestrange, Frank Longbottom, Peter Pettigrew, Fabian Prewett, Gideon Prewett, James Potter, Arthur Weasley, and many others!

of students are receiving their Hogwarts letters- pureblood, halfbloods and
muggleborns alike. Follow these students through their summer and the coming

their own path? Only time will tell.

resurfaced and is gathering followers to fight a war of Blood Purity. Will your
character join him or fight for the ministry or Dumbledore? Perhaps they will
stay neutral. Only time will tell.

Premise | Taken | Held | Rules | Application
What makes a person good? What makes them evil? Is it their actions, or do ends justify means? Is it something that is at the core of every person? Are you born one way or the other? Is there truly a right and wrong side to every thing? What even defines "good" or "evil"? Is it inherent or is it something forced upon us? Perhaps it is simply the sum of everything we're faced with. What side would you find yourself on if everything you'd ever known was stripped away? What happens when your world has been reset and all you have are your memories of the life you've been taken from? What if you discovered you were just a pawn in some bigger player's game? Would you change? Would you join forces with a serial killer or turn your back on a hero to get to the bottom of a problem bigger than you? Or would you do nothing at all? The Marked is a multi-fandom game. Unlike most other games in this genre, we endorse canon portrayals of your favorite characters and we also provide a working plot for you and your characters to participate in.
Anticipated game restart January 31st

[UNHAPPILY EVER...?]
The war ended and all was well. Harry Potter defeated the Dark Lord. Everything was practically perfect in every way.
Unless you were the rest of the wizarding world that is...
| Tired of games where everyone is happy and perfect? Where the love songs resonate from the trees and no one ever loses their job? Want a game where you can throw a drink in your cheating husband's face and then find out about your long lost sister, Hannah Abbott? Where maybe things aren't quite as safe as you would have thought and there's some villains waiting in the wings talking in funny accents? Welcome to Unhappily Ever...
| Part Harry Potter Game, part English Language Telenovella, Unhappily Ever is set in a Post Deathly Hallows world where all is not well for the average person. Real life has bumps and wrinkles - and sometimes those are much more fun than the fairy tale! Whether you're Always a Bridesmaid and Never a Bride or The Jerk with the Big Mouth and the Small Package, Unhappily Ever tells the story of the characters in the Harry Potter books rebuilding their lives and trying to make sense of the world as they hit their late twenties and early thirties. Set in 2009, Unhappily Ever After is looking for strong writers who want a social game but miss the good old days where threading was commonplace. How do you fit in to the not your average Fairy Tale? |

Will you be next?
For many centuries, Hogwarts has been hailed as the safest place in the word. This was true [unless your name happened to be Harry Potter] until a cold, windy January night in 2023 when screams were heard echoing across the walls. Faculty rushed to the empty corridor on the fourth floor where the sound was thought to be originating from. What they discovered was a pupil dead with strange markings on her arms. Her name was Dalia Fitzsimmons, a half blood fifth year and chaser for the Ravenclaw house. Panic rose throughout the school and students were sent home immediately due to safety. The grounds were searched but no evidence or no foul play was found. No one knows who or what caused Dalia’s death. Now a week has passed and the school has reluctantly reopened. Many were against the reopening, and several parents have decided not to permit their younger children to attend. Society is still up in arms about the murder. Rumors, gossip, and accusations fill the halls of Hogwarts. The questions on everyone’s lips are where were you on the night of Dalia’s death? What did the strange markings mean? Who was behind this? Who will be next?

It has been fourteen years since the menacing influence of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has been felt, but the memory will never truly fade. Harry Potter and his fellow classmates left Hogwarts victorious, but at a great cost did they do so. Large portions of Hogwarts lay crumbling around them. Friends and families mourned the premature passing of loved ones. The Wizarding world did not escape the clutches of Voldemort unscathed.
Every child born during the postwar population boom knows the stories of the war. They know the trials faced by the heroic Order of the Phoenix and they're familiar with the brooding faces of the villains, but it isn't the parents who pass on this knowledge, for many of them are unwilling to relive the memories. A few brave souls have shared their own experiences and knowledge while the remainder of the survivors stubbornly cling to the hope that they will forget, no matter how tightly memory holds them.
As September looms ever closer, a new year at Hogwarts lingers on the horizon, but this isn't just another year. With the final examinations in June, Hogwarts will be releasing it's first graduating class since it reopened in 2003. It is this class that has had the privilege of experiencing a new Hogwarts; one that no longer has a shadow forever hanging above it. This year celebrates seven complete years of laughter, knowledge, and, most importantly, hope. This sense of celebration and excitement hovers over the students as they ready for the school year, and it will surely be packed alongside the cauldrons and rolls of parchment to be brought back to Hogwarts.
The question that seems to be drawing a lot of attention from the older generation is whether or not the good times really do last? Will the atmosphere at Hogwarts remain unchanged or will History repeat itself, as it so often does? |
