ALTERNATE UNIVERSE HARRY POTTER RPG
WE CAN WATCH THE WORLD DEVOURED
 
 
PREMISE
1979
A prophecy is foretold: The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...Born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...And the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not....

1981
Lord Voldemort attempted to attack Godric's Hollow to prevent the prophecy from being fulfilled; but, when the Order was tipped off about his plan, they were able to warn the Potters before Lord Voldemort could get to them. Instead, Lord Voldemort found himself face to face with Albus Dumbledore when he arrived at the village. Lord Voldemort, refusing to lose, lashed out with a violent curse that severely wounded both himself and Dumbledore. But when the attack did not kill the older wizard, the weakened Dark Lord ordered a mysterious lurker to finish off Dumbledore.

With Albus Dumbledore gone, the Wizarding World waited with baited breath for Lord Voldemort to rise to power. Months passed and there was no sign of the Dark Lord's return. Rumors of his death spread like a wildfire and many attempted to gain back what they had lost to fear. Only the Order of the Phoenix remained suspicious and vigilant.

1983
Many have started to regain the lost normalcy in their lives. Nevertheless, unbeknownst to the peace-seeking Wizarding World, a devious plot has been set into motion; one that will tear down the foundation of Wizardry and bring about the second war.

PREMISE

You wake up to the smell of smoke.


In the year 2008, a virus swept North America. Ever vigilant for a pandemic, citizens boarded up their windows, stockpiled their canned goods, and turned their neighbors in to the CDC. Short wave radios fell off the shelves, evacuation routes were prepared. Gas masks and specialty filtration systems were distributed. Pills were available for those showing early symptoms. Pills that did not work. That were later replaced with cyanide as their active ingredient. For those who were brave enough to put their fingers near a loved one's mouth. The United States, Canada, Mexico, the virus swept down into South America and festered in the heat of the jungle. In some places it burned out. Superstition ruled and saved lives. But nothing stopped the virus.

You wake up to the crackle of dead airwaves.


Three months after the first diagnosed case of Currere Excessum was recorded, NATO approved Great Britain's use of nuclear force against the United States. It was assumed that all organic material would be reduced to ash under the impact. It was assumed that the Quarantine of the Americas would be temporary, at best. Any who survived the blast would be given the highest in humanitarian attention and medical care. The only American emissaries who knew of the plan lay incinerated in Washington. The Quarantine continued. The Americas lay abandoned. Empty.

BRITANNIA: present-day Arthurian roleplay

[info]britannia_mod

BRITANNIA
B R I T A N N I A


Located in the western part of the state, this mid-sized town has mostly failed to live up to its grandiose name. It's big enough that no one knows everyone else, small enough that a new face is noticeable. The leaves are lovely in the fall, tourists stop through with reasonable regularity, and nothing much ever changes.

Or didn't.

Some of the townspeople have dreams. Recurring dreams about blood, and horses, and steel. About silken gowns, and hawking, and high spires. About loyalties and rivalries long faded into legend.

Most of them have shrugged the dreams off. They're only dreams. But things are beginning to change after all.

Britannia, NY is a brand-new Arthurian game set in the present day. Arthur has returned, but so has his sister-enemy, Morgan. Characters will have to come to grips with past life memories, choose a side, forge alliances -- and hope to prevail.

Applications are now being accepted for Agravain, Isolde, Lancelot, Tristan, and hundreds of others. Check out britannia_mod for more information, or use these links:

It's the summer of 1999, a little over a year since the Second War came to an end. Ginny Weasley and the rest of her class have just finished their seventh year at Hogwarts, the Wizarding World is putting the finishing touches on the war repairs, and most people are living their lives freely again. With the watchful eye of Kingsley Shacklebolt, Minister of Magic, it has been reported that all of the Dark Lord's followers have been rounded up and are either being tried or have already been sent off the Azkaban. Whether that is true or not, it has yet to be seen, but most are keen to believe such. The Daily Prophet, in an attempt to redeem itself, has focused the majority of its articles on the positive steps that are being taken in the Wizarding World for equality.

Harry Potter's class has mostly settled into the second year of their adult life, taking on careers and finding their own places. The Ministry, feeling responsible for their hardships during their final year of school - if they were even able to attend - came up with a way to compensate the students, at least by monetary means. In fact, the new alumni have also been compensated, as will several more classes as they finish school. Of course, money isn't the only way the Ministry is paying for its mistakes, several job programs, extra education programs, and counseling are all available to not only students, but anyone that was affected by the war.

With the newfound peace that came to be over the last year, thanks to several new laws and charters put into place to protect all blood statuses, it seems that the Wizarding World doesn't have a care in the world.

Volte-Face RPG!

The Premise
It's the year 2005. Seven years have passed since Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts and gave hope to the wizarding world. Seven years meant to rebuilt their world, to move toward integration, to repair the divisions drawn, but the Ministry has done a volte-face.

Well meaning policies meant to increase the population and protect everyone have been misused. Retributions policies aimed at justice were turned into laws to oppress the purebloods that had created so much hurt in past decades.

The Ministry run by muggleborn and half-bloods seems more interested in revenge than justice. At first, they pass a series of laws masked as compensation for generations of mistreatments and prejudices, but soon those very laws are used to discriminate and punish the purebloods.

It starts with taking away their houses and assets, and soon all purebloods are living in Hogsmeade, in run down houses, with limited Apparition and Floo access. The Special Squad guards the town in the name of safety, but uses its power to intimidate. The heroes of the war fair a little better, but even they lose their jobs and watch Muggleborns and half-bloods take their places despite of merit.

If this weren't enough, the Ministry is intent in integrating with the Muggle world. Computers and televisions are the new rage. Internet and mobiles take the place of the Floo and owls. Tired of all of this purebloods begin to rise. Strange alliances are formed, and the fight starts.

In the midst of all these changes, one man cast a series of spells that will change things forever. Using the many ancient druidic gateways like Stonehenge existing in Britain, Rodolphus ties to bring back their Dark Lord. He hasn't succeeded, but some people have begun to reappear. A few, at first, but with time the spell has taken a life of its own and now no one but faith controls it, bringing back friends and enemies, men and beasts.

In this world of chaos, ordinary witches and wizards must take their stand. Will they protect their own? Will they fight for equality? Will they survive it all?

The Game
