The Aurors: An OC Harry Potter RPG



This is an elite unit. The only probability higher than you quitting, is you getting killed. We hunt the darkest, most depraved criminals in the world. Question yourself for a second, and that world will swallow you whole.
Welcome to the Aurors.


New York City has always had a history of crime, in both the Muggle and Wizarding Worlds. But the criminals have one obstacle in their way. The Aurors. The Division in New York is known for being the elite, and best trained in the country.

The years is 2011 and crime is on the rise. Those still supporting the dark arts for the past in Europe retreated across the ocean. The United States is the land of opportunity. But crime is motivated less by blood purity, now it's about money and power.

The Aurors follows the lives of those in the Auror Division and those who work in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement in New York.

Three years after an asteroid struck Earth and two years after the end of the Long Winter it caused, 90% of humanity is dead. A new world struggles to rise from the ashes of the old, though chaos and anarchy still reign. Bandits, slavers, and cannibals prey on the unwary or those that stray too close to the ruins of the big cities by themselves. There are spots of light in the darkness, however, as other groups of people attempt to live peaceable lives and rebuild society.


After Impact is a brand new post apocalyptic RPG dealing with the struggle to create a new life three years after an asteroid strike wiped out civilization and most of humanity. We are currently in our second game week and the characters have just escaped hot water leaving a very different Kansas City from the one they remember.


Are you looking for a good old fashioned (100% zombie free!) post apocalypse? Check us out!

Forgotten Gods


"People believe. It's what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen."

-- Neil Gaiman, American Gods



Forgotten Gods follows the deities of ancient mythologies, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers have moved on to new religions, the gods' powers have waned -- for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, intent on regaining the power that was once theirs and reviving their followings.

And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the old ones, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep, abiding wariness.

Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology.

Hogwarts Carefree


Hogwarts Carefree
A Next Generation Community
The Sorting has begun



As old foes come together
Only time will tell
If the wounds of the past
Have mended well
The times of tears and sorrow
Have all but gone away
As a new generation
Makes their way today

Is your home in Gryffindor
Where those with nerve shall stay
The bold and brave arrive
And always find their way
Or are you a true Hufflepuff
Fair and straight and loyal
You meet your best friends today
And share with them your toil
Perhaps you are a Slytherin
The purest of them all
But will your strive for power
Ultimately be your fall
Alas you may be Ravenclaw
Already read the books
Your wit and brains protect you
From others jealous looks

Unlike the past you will not find
Seclusion to your house
Unless you hide yourself away
Like a shy little mouse
As time goes and you grow
More similarities you’ll find
That all houses blend together
In a common frame of mind

And thus my words shall ring today
Forever captured in a tome
As you come up one by one
And find your brand new home

A new generation has come to Hogwarts filled with students who are full of life, ready to figure out who they are.
This game is for writers who want to develop an original Harry Potter character! The game allows you to develop your character through interaction not through your own character development journal. You can see exactly how your character would interact to various situations as they come to life in your brain. We want to write and have fun, while developing new characters. The application process exists not so we can pick your character apart, but so that you have the opportunity to outline who you see your character to be while giving the voting staff the chance to ask you questions that will help to develop your character.

Players are expected to be able to create their own plot ideas and any and all ideas from players are welcome. However, we do provide weekly challenges for those all too common writing blocks. We hope to see you soon!

Most wanted:
Albus Potter, Rose Weasley, Scoprius Malfoy, Victorie Weasley and Slytherins, along with original 1st years, 6th years, and 7th years

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


Don't see a tenant that interests you? Other deities and pantheons are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it.

Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons.
