[25 Jan 2011|12:13pm] Premise ♦ Rules ♦ Characters ♦ Wanted and OCs ♦ Cast List ♦ Application ♦ Timeline It's 2005, and the New Year has started off with a bang. There's a new group making itself known in the Wizaring World, sowing a new wave of fear and mistrust, opening up old wounds from a war everyone had hoped was over. The targets span all classes and levels of blood, Death Eaters, Ministry workers, and citizens alike. They couldn't come at a worse time. A bear market and a pushy Prime Minister already has Wizarding England on edge. Advances in muggle technology threaten wizards as more and more of them are caught on camera. The wisdom of the Statute of Secrecy is being called to question for the first time in centuries. Still, things aren't as bad as they could be. Suspicions run high, but the body count is still low. Innocents aren't being killed. Yet. Many in the country believe the Ministry's assurances and try to live peaceful lives as best they can. They don't realize how rapidly their chances for peace are disappearing... The 8th Floor is a DH-compliant, post-war game that aims to take a look at the interplay between the magical and muggle worlds and the myriad of problems something like the Statute of Secrecy could cause. We plan to meld plot, politics, and social aspects into an intense gaming experience. the_8th_floor thbreakroom frontpagenews Gamplay began on December 12. post comment

[25 Jan 2011|03:33pm] Holds Application Cast FAQ Everything Else! In 2023, the first Wizard University was opened in Ipswich, England. Offering an alternative to traditional internships, the school was a welcome relief to places such as St Mungos and Professional Quidditch Teams, where applicants far exceeded the vacancies. One year later the school is thriving with nine offered subjects, co-ed fraternities, street games, and Quidditch tournaments. Gossip and rumours, pranks, and day-to-day mishaps make college life anything but boring. Just mind the occasional streaker. WMU is a next generation Harry Potter game set at university. With a focus on character development, good storylines, and both friendships and relationships between characters, we’ve gone back to basics that make role play fun. We encourage good writing, journaling, threading, and our players to simply relax and have fun. post comment

are you a swot? [25 Jan 2011|11:15pm] Voldemort was dead and life went on. Students who had spent the last year fighting for their lives suddenly found themselves in a world with limitless possibility, capable of finding new direction and new purpose. There were job interviews to go on and bills to pay. Funerals and first dates. Second dates. Weddings. Children. Twenty-eight years later, a new generation of students will be boarding the Hogwarts Express- the children of war heroes and villains alike. With the Second War safely behind them in their History of Magic textbooks, these students find themselves blessed with the opportunity to live normal lives as normal teenagers, focused on Hogsmeade weekends, school events and N.E.W.T. exams and faced with the choice to either put the past behind them or settle for living in the shadow of their parents. Adolescence is challenging enough, a time of increasing independence and creative exploration. As these teenagers prepare for their last years at Hogwarts, will they step out as individuals -- away from their parents' pasts -- or will lingering prejudices continue to affect social order? SWOTTING is a next-gen, canon-compliant RPG focused on character development, interpersonal relationships and providing a realistic school experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
