Sometimes the world you create on the page seems more friendly and alive than the world you actually live in.
Since the dawn of time, storytellers have enchanted audiences with their words. But there is an even rarer gift. There are those who, by reading out loud, can bring characters to life. Out of books and into our world. Most of these people prefer to keep their skills a secret but some do not even know this gift is theirs, until it is too late.
You know how your story begins, do you know how it ends?

Have you ever invested weeks, months, or perhaps years into character development only for a game to suddenly lose interest? For things to go awry and you choose to part ways? Are you sitting in a game that you've lost interest in simply because you don't wish to lose all that character development?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then Spinning Compass is for you!
We at Spinning Compass allow character development from any game. From Insane Journal? Approved! From Live Journal? Approved! From Dreamwidth? Approved! It doesn't matter what journal format they come from, your character will be approved!
Character approval pending application acceptability.
Books are adventure! They contain murder and mayhem and passion. They love anyone who opens them. |

The year is 2044 and the corporations have taken over. They abuse their power and make back alley deals with any body to keep the money flowing. The needs of the people have taken a back seat to corporate greed and prosperity. While battles are fought in the board room the streets are over run with anarchy and violence. Maniacs like Spellbinder, Shriek, and Mad Stan threaten the system while gang warfare between The Jokerz and The T's disrupt everyday life. Chaos runs rampant on the streets and spreads across the bay area. Crime is no longer waged by the common man. The superstitious and cowardly lot is dead and now the time of the supervillain has come. Elections are bought and paid for everyday and the terrorist group Kobra seeks to put their own candidate in office. Police do what they can to stop the violence but it's just not enough. More villains are appearing and branching out. More help is required. More heroes are needed. The time to stand together is at hand. Who will stand up to these clandestine threats?

Next-Gen characters are welcome here and as are Original Characters. More detailed information on those two character types can be found in the Character Guide.

Beacon Hills RPG will pick up immediately after the season 2 finale. We will work on an episodic basis, for 13 "episodes". Each episode will take place over 1-2 weeks in game, and will vary from 2 to 4 weeks RL time. The game will run with an overarching plot (based around a season "bad guy") and smaller, player driven plots to keep character interaction and development up.
Holds are open, with the next ads being on July 20th, but actual game play won't begin until August 17th. In the interim, there will be a variety of activities designed to keep interest and activity up including, but not limited to, character development exercises, open sandbox play, crack threads and in character memes. The hope is that by opening the holds early, we will have a full cast by the time we're ready to start the game.
Further information on plot will be revealed after the S2 finale, to make sure it follows S2 canon. Some ideas on the table thus far are a rival pack coming to challenge Derek and Scott, misunderstandings with a local coven, or someone with a vendetta against the Hunters causing the Argents to have to team up with Derek and Scott's packs, other supernatural creatures being discovered (vengeful spirits perhaps?), or something completly different. Once there is a firm idea of where S2 will end up, a decision for the plot will be made.
MOST WANTED: Boyd, Scott, the adults (especially Chris Argent, Melissa McCall and Sheriff Stilinski) or OC older characters
