...Angels and Demons can’t cross over onto our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. But a single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon’s touch like those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit....
The supernatural world exists alongside this one. It's a world where demons and angels intervene directly with the lives of those souls that stand as pawns on the almighty chessboard of the game between Heaven and Hell. It's a world where the Merchants sell magic and blood, where you might wake up one day and move things with your mind or set them on fire. It's a world policed by an organization devoted to maintaining the balance between good and evil. And it's a world with Constantine.
At the Gates; original, supernatural & occult based game, set in the world of Constantine and Hellblazer, magical London. Elements of Fringe, Neil Gaiman and Supernatural.
Actively recruiting: Angels for forthcoming plot! Librarians (magical FBI/Fringe agents dealing with the Other World on a case by case basis -- usually with magic) Merchants, the magical mafia who can sell the enchantment right out of you. Mundane police - because there's plot coming and handling magical crime is pretty epic.

RESUMPTION: a life interrupted to begin again
A Harry Potter RPG
Post the Second Wizarding War, many are content to go forward with their lives. Some aren’t however. Augustus Rookwood is one of those not happy in this world and the former death eater begins to make plans to make his own world, his ideal world.
Taping into dark and forbidden magic that will bend both dimension and time, Rookwood begins collecting the citizens for this new world. Wizard and witches of his choosing who are not merely from the era he comes from, but others-both ancient and into distant future. Whether these wizard and witches want to live in this world isn’t his concern.
There are so many questions though. Where is this place? What day is it? What country are they in? Why are there others that they don’t know or recognize but who know intimate details about their lives? This world is full of mysteries about the village and... experiments keep appearing out of nowhere.
You are at the mercy of the council.

In the year 2026, a group of twelve wizards created mass destruction with magic in front of thousands and killing hundreds in the middle of a London borough. The incident was televised world wide to millions of people, leaving no way to hide magic from the Muggle world any longer. Thus, the International Confederation of Wizards had no choice but to abolish the 1692 International Statue of Wizarding Secrecy. Now four months later, British Minister of Magic Neville Longbottom has taken down the barriers that separate Muggle London from wizarding London and tries to mend bridges between the two worlds.
Wizards and witches that have been forced to live with their abilities in secret are now allowed to do magic in front of whoever they want. Relations between Muggles and the magical community have increased steadily since the act was abolished, but there is an air of distrust and animosity surrounding both societies. Many wizards and witches still harbor prejudices against Muggles. Some continue to hide their abilities from Muggles while others welcome the new freedom with open arms. Some Muggles live in fear of the magic that now surrounds them. Others eagerly try to learn about magic and what it can do for them, believing not all magical people can be bad.
The world is now united, but after hundreds of years in silence, can they live together in peace?
----
The Secret's Out is a very character and player driven RPG. The main gameplay is reliant on the players coming up with their own ideas for interactions, relationships, and animosities between all the characters - wizard, witch, or Muggle.
Opening June 24th.

I know it's a frequent cry and rarely granted, but we would LOVE to see a good Ron Weasley. We've never had one that really lasted, in spite of some talented RPers (including those currently playing with us) giving it a go and then dropping him because they felt they couldn't get a handle on him. He is just so... Ron. And that is hard to play. And we would appreciate it sooooo much if we got one. Harry and Hermione NEED him. Ginny too. The Order are losing so badly and Ron is needed for moral support at the very least!
We'd also like to send out a plea for a particular Death Eater - Armand Jugson. His sister Katharina, his best friend (and brother-in-law) Walden Macnair, and his wife Keagan are waiting for him, as are his niece Louisa and nephew Benjamin. We had one a while back, but she had RL stuff and the slot has been vacant now for ages. It's pretty open how you play him, although for Keagan's sake it would be nice if he loved her and his kids. It is just a shame not to have our Jugson family complete! There are lots of other DE for him to play with too (Rodolphus, Lucius, Amycus, Alecto, Bellatrix, Severus, Peter, Rookwood...). Alternatively, his three children are also open slots - Phillip, Kat and Damien. They are 21, 18 and 16 respectively, and are open to however you want to play them. The whole family would love to see them, but I know their cousins in particular would love it :-)
As for the game, well, it's a time-travel game - which isn't nearly as complicated as it sounds once you get into it, and doesn't really impact on most of the characters, just the three travellers. Characters who would be alive in both times (e.g. Armand) are played in both times e.g. Katharina here has separate journals for her teenage self and her adult self, and characters only alive in one (e.g. Ron) are just played in that one era. You should probably look up the premise if that's still confusing! It's very easy to get the hang of, and I'm happy to go through it as it relates to your character if you have any problems.
It's pretty dark - we tend to focus more on DE and Slytherins than other games do, and in 2001 the DE have won. (Harry time-travelled back to the 70s and got so preoccupied with trying to save his parents that he failed to stop Voldemort in the 90s.) We're complimented on being a non-cliquey game and on playing with new people straight away. We also promise not to die - we've been going for over three years as Chronic Resurrection, (which was itself resurrected from a dying game, Retcon, which was also resurrected from a dying game, Time Encompasses).
Check us out if you're interested! Please don't hesitate to comment here or ping/email me if you have any questions or suggestions. I'm herringprincess on gchat/gmail and imphandsosmywife on AIM.
