Spinning Compass

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!

We also accept Original Characters, and any canon fandom characters.

Character approval pending application acceptability.

Books are adventure! They contain murder and mayhem and passion. They love anyone who opens them.

Absit Omen: A Harry Potter RPG




|| Main Page || Forum || Plot || Rules || How to Join ||

A decade has passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. For most of the magical world, life after the end of the Second War was been relatively peaceful. But even the most optimistic witch or wizard knows that no peace can last forever.

When an old man dies mysteriously in the Three Broomsticks, Magical Law Enforcement quickly dismisses it as nothing more than a tragedy. But was the death really an accident, or is something more going on? It seems that someone is interested in tracking down former supporters of Gellert Grindelwald, decades after the notorious Dark Wizard's defeat. Are they working "For the Greater Good," or do they have some other nefarious purpose in mind?

Meanwhile, the Tetrawizard Tournament pushes on at Hogwarts. Though Durmstrang has taken a strong lead, Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Salem Academy are battling hard to catch up. But there are just as many political moves being made behind the scenes. The goblins of Gringotts Wizarding Bank insist that the Goblet of Fire is rightfully theirs, and the Ministry must rush to verify their claim.

Elsewhere, there are hints of even darker shadows. The Wizarding Blood Alliance has been quiet recently, but the infamous terrorist group will surely not remain quiet for long. Add to that rumors of a dark magical circus trying to abduct innocents off the street and a brand new night club that demands absolute secrecy -- and sometimes even more -- from its members, and you'll soon hope that the ancient words of protection still work: Let there be no evil here.
