Application Cast Held Wanted
Mod journal OOC RPGWelcome to Circ Du Magic, a travelling circus that moves from town to town in 1930's America, stunning the crowds with it's acrobats and lion tamers, it's dancing dogs and fire walkers. It is a place of light and colour, a fantasy to hide in as the world outside marches towards war and an uncertain future. The food is an explosion of spice and sugar, the fortune teller a jaunt into the dangerous unknown. To them a day and night at the circus is a time for joy and escapism to ride the bumper cars, and marvel at the strong man.
To the onlooker from small town USA, the circus is a glamorous and glittering world. To those who work in it the circus is a darker place. The constant movement of their workplace means that consequences are minimal when dealing with the local populace and makes it a great attraction for runaways and those avoiding the law. The major secret of the Circ Du Magic is of course that a huge number of impressive tricks really are magic and the cricus itself harbours huge numbers of the supernatural, hiding in plain sight from the humans who watch them perform every day and night. There are few rules in the circus for dealing with outsiders, but when looking inwards, there are a few. The circus is your family, so there is no stealing from inside, violence to circus folk is to be kept to a minimum. all secrets must be kept, and you have to work to earn your keep. |

don't let the muggles get you down!
If you ask students at London University about Wenlock College, the nicest reaction you will receive is a dismissive smirk. No one has ever heard of it until they arrive on university premises, where it is universally presented as a nuthouse. Nor do its students do much to alleviate this impression, walking around in odd clothing and referencing such made up people as Waffling and Dumbledore rather than Nietzsche or Derrida. Fortunately, these oddballs keep almost entirely to themselves—no one can remember a Wenlock student ever being in one of their courses or dormitories.
That is, until this year.
All of a sudden, Wenlock students are enrolled in introductory chemistry courses, and literature, and philosophy, and anthropology—and worst of all, they seem to not even understand the very basic principles that other university students learned well before their A-levels. When they mutter about Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration in the middle of a physics lecture, or chuckle to each other over a history lesson on the witch burnings of the Middle Ages, students at London University have to wonder: just what do they teach at Wenlock College?
Feigning is a next-generation, post-Hogwarts Harry Potter game focusing on the struggles of wizarding university students who find themselves suddenly required to take Muggle courses—without breaking the Statute of Secrecy. Open since 6 July.

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. In the late eighties, that place was a little bar called Cheers in Boston, Massachusetts. In the early noughties, that place is the Crup & Jarvey, the magical community's go-to spot for company, community, culture, and of course, local cuisine.
Opening July 14th, the Crup & Jarvey is a Trio Era, post-Hogwarts social game focused on character development and interaction! Come for the tea, stay for the awesome.
