Sic Infit - Harry Potter AU RPG [30 Mar 2009|10:18am] so it begins... † Rules † Application † Taken † Wanted/Holds † † Main Comm † OOC Comm † Mod Journal † † Website † It is amazing how the most important decisions can be made on the whims of men. And how often these decisions, though they may feel right at the time, or might even be the right decision to make, can lead a person, or an entire world, down the wrong path. Thus it was that James had no idea that by choosing Sirius as his secret keeper, he would inadvertently spare Voldemort his defeat and plunge the world into his dark rule. It is now the summer of 1998, and the wizarding world has become a dark place. Through loyal followers and charmed men, Voldemort has become the shadow king of England, ruling through an unending chain of puppet ministers. Families are shattered as halfbloods and muggleborn are relentlessly persecuted. Some still fight valiantly, but secretly, against the Death Eaters. Others live luxuriously off the spoils of a corrupt system. Some warriors of the light have fallen to the darkness, but some agents of darkness have risen to the light. And even more walk the razor's edge between. Sic Infit is a Harry Potter AU game. Set in 1998, it explores the possibilities of what could have happened had James and Lily Potter stuck with Sirius as their Secret Keeper. What could have happened if Harry had never become The Boy Who Lived? What if Lord Voldemort had actually won? post comment

[30 Mar 2009|12:19pm] WTF?! RP - Not your typical Harry Potter Roleplay Setting. Rules. Holds. Application. Game Start Date: April 1, 2009! WTF?! is a 'Harry Potter' afterlife-based roleplaying game set on its own island, called Sointula. It takes some of the clichés found so often in the fandom and in 'Potter' RPs and revels in them. Four gods have set this island up so that they can observe peoples' daily lives. Think of it like a game of 'Sims' for the dead. The gods pick and choose who they want on their island for their own reasons and may or may not help people. They do whatever they want, because they can. Note, though, that there's a lot of weirdness in this game. It's not your typical 'put everybody from the canon together in one place' type of setting. Modern Muggle technology is everywhere, and everyone who shows up on the island will know how to use that modern tech. The game is quirky but not silly. There will be comedic storylines, and there will be dramatic storylines. It's all up to the players. This game is looking for creative people who are willing to work within some set parameters and explore the possibilities of the fandom's clichés. Some aspects of your character's life on the island will be set by the gods when that character is accepted. If you're not comfortable with playing things that aren't determined by you, don't bother applying. It's not a crack game, despite it's name and setting, but it's also not 'high drama, all the time.' It needs players who have enough time to give to the game to develop their characters and storylines, not those who apply to every new game that starts up and never put in any quality time on any game because their creativity is spread too thin. Characters that aren't active, or who only interact with one or two other characters, will be removed. That doesn't mean your character has to thread with every single person in the game, but you have to at least make an effort to have them talk to and interact with characters outside of those they were involved with in the novels. If you enjoy taking the canon characters outside of their comfort zones, exploring new possibilities, and you enjoy quality RP in an unusual setting, this game could be for you. If you're looking for the same old tired stuff, go elsewhere. Every character from the 'HP' canon is open for play, wizard, Muggle, or whatever, but be sure to read the Rules, Setting, Posting Guidelines, and Taken Characters & PB Lists, before applying. I'm a harsh guy when it comes to my rules. If you give me crap, I'll give it back to you. I don't care who you are, or how your popular you are in the fandom, or how many games you're in, or how many times you've played 'X' character in games, or how long you've been RPing, or if you write fanfic that makes people squeal. I don't care. Once you've read the threads, and you're still interested in applying, here's the Application. End post comment

Three years after Harry Potter defeated Voldemort. The war is over. Everyone is moving on, or at least trying to. The dead have been mourned and buried, but are all but forgotten. Lives, businesses and relationships must go on. Time won't stand still, even in Diagon Alley. The Wizarding World is almost completely rebuilt on top of the ashes of a time that cannot be forgotten, but everyone is still walking on eggshells. The fear of collapse is still looming on the horizon, even if no one will admit it. Welcome to the Post Bellum period. Game Starts: TODAY! disclaimer post comment
