PREMISE |
Behind Charing Cross: It's Where The Wizards Play In 2003 the Wizarding World has come a long way since the Final Battle. Death Eaters have been tried and dealt with fairly under the watchful eye of the new Minister of Magic, Kingsley Shacklebolt and a reformed Wizengamot. Diagon Alley and Hogwarts have been rebuilt. Slowly the magical community has rebuilt and healed from Voldemort's reign. Charing Cross is a game that explores the social and professional lives of our favorite Harry Potter Characters. The main action takes place in and around Diagon Alley, which is far from the one-street world we saw in canon. In the past five years Diagon Alley has become not only the Magical Center of London, but of all of Britain. New shops have opened, small cafes have been found and residential buildings are quickly filling up, so claim your spot now! |

ABOUT OUR GAME |
Charing Cross is unique in terms of the RPGs we've seen. Instead of having no overall plot or a complicated long-running plot that almost never comes to fruition, Charing Cross likes to focus on character and world building. We do this by throwing out a game-wide plot once a month that the characters can then react to and go about their daily business. For example, in February we had a Masked Valentine's Day Ball which was the foundation for several character relationships in game. In March there was a Charms accident that had boys running around as girls and girls running around as boys for several weeks, and all the drama and awkward moments that accident created. Currently, Diagon Alley has become the victim of a string of robberies, all of which will culminate at the end of the month at a Charity Auction. Who knows where we'll go next, but we do know it will be fun and exciting, not to mention easy for new players to join at any time and catch up quickly. Our hope is that through these small, short-lived plots players will take the opportunity to develop their characters and relationships with other players. We also encourage small group plots, such as book clubs, bowling leagues and writer's circles among many others. |
ABOUT OUR PLAYERS |
Charing Cross has a small group of dedicated, talented and creative writers who are hopeful for new friends. We're looking for equally dedicated and creative writers who want to experience a slightly different RPG experience. The mods are friendly and easy-going and encourage player input into everything. We're looking for players who bring something slightly different to the table as well, with fresh, exciting characters. There are plenty of interactive experiences just waiting to happen, so give us a chance and we think you'll be pleasantly surprised. |
