The Roadhouse [IF]

Our plot picks up after No Rest For The Wicked and initially focuses on the four months before Lazarus Rising. Sam is on his own now that Dean is in Hell, trying to make deals with Crossroads Demons and anyone who's willing to sell. Ruby's presence is lacking until she returns from Hell to assist Sam in honing his otherworldly powers. Bobby may or may not be drunk, depending on the day.

Outside of human and Hunter knowledge, both Angelic and Demonic forces are preparing for what will likely be a full scale war. The Demons and Lilith are doing their best to continue breaking the seals needed to release Lucifer from the box. The Angels are preparing for the worst and setting into motion plans to pull the eldest Winchester brother from the Pit.

The question that remains is: how does your character react to and live within a world that is changing so drastically and, oftentimes, in an unnoticed manner? While the general populace may be blissful in their ignorance, those who are more in the know of darker forces can certianly feel something on the horizon. Something bad and something that could change their lives in unbelievable ways.

The Years Passed: Reality is Better than Myth

The Devil tempts all Men


"My intention is not to offend anyone, but... you have all been wrong. You apply human science to everything, but not everything is of a human nature. There are things that lie well beyond your realm of explanation and understanding, and quite frankly, they always will. For they have been present in this world, for longer than your earliest ancestors."
-Pruflas

With those words, centuries of careful concealment have been unraveled. The underground world of the supernaturals has been brought to light, and very much against their will. The year is 2056, the place is Amsterdam. The capital, and largest city in the Netherlands has become the unofficial home of the Supernatural world. Not only is the local government controlled by wealthy non-humans, but it also happens to be a willing host to those humans who do not shy away from the wicked, but instead embrace it. This harmonic unison is shaken when a demon named Pruflas takes it upon himself to expose the entire world to their kind, simply to combat his own boredom. Residence in Amsterdam steadily find themselves under the judgmental eyes of the world, as well as the terrorism some people are willing to enact, in a desperate attempt to protect the human population from these monsters. The world has come to a precipice, either they will be accepted, destroyed, or they will take the throne, and rule over those below them. Some want peace, others war, and then there are those who have yet to take a stand. Either way, no one will be left unaffected.

What will they do? Will they burrow deeper into the shadows, in hopes of keeping themselves hidden from the masses of humans who don't understand them, and who don't want them there? Or will courage flourish, and will they show themselves to the world, and insist on living side by side with their sometimes prey? What will they do? What would you do?

We accept, and are looking for a wide range of supernatural beings. Particularly, humans and demons are wanted at this time. Old and new characters alike are welcome. Have an older character you're itching to play again, and want to hash out? Bring them to us. Or maybe you're not sure what, or who you want to play, or you don't want to come into a game with no ties. There are numerous wanted characters, check the page for a bit of muse like inspiration.

The Revolution RPG: an original royals game

Premise || Maps || Rules || Cast || Wiki || Mod
This is not the world as you know it. A few minor changes in history have brought about a vastly different landscape. The United States does not exist, and in its place is a collection of countries, kingdoms, and colonies. Most of them are stable, peaceful places.

One is not.

The Kingdom of Virginia is in turmoil. Civil war threatens to break out at any minute. The nobles are badly divided, rebel groups are rampant, and the economy is on the verge of catastrophic failure. Foreign aid is pouring into the country, both in support of the king's government and of the rebels.

Will King Charles be able to hold onto his throne? Will he lose it to his dissatisfied nobles? Or will be he be toppled by those who claim the cause of justice?

Pax Letale: a modern myth game

PAX LETALE: GODS REBORN



In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there.

Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull.

For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale.

A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place.

Available Tenants:


Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities.

Brighid is the Celtic goddess of the forge, inspiration, compassion and creativity, and a patron goddess of artists, craftsmen, and other creative types. In her mortal life, she may have connections to her parents, her siblings, or any of the Celtic pantheon.

Masauwu is a Hopi deity sometimes called the Skeleton Man, Keeper of Fire, Spirit of Death, and the Master of the Fourth (present) World. He is depicted as a dark-skinned man wearing a mask; sometimes the creature beneath this mask is described as handsome, sometimes as a disfigured monster. Connections to Native American deities and gods and goddesses of death or enlightenment are likely.

ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS
