Hallowed Ground [05 Sep 2008|12:34am] The outcome is known, but how was it reached? In late spring of 1997, Albus Dumbledore was killed by Severus Snape, and the Wizarding World changed. Hallowed Ground is an RPG community for writers interested in exploring the intricacies of what followed, reaching deep beyond that's already known. Deathly Hallows has provided us a road map to our destination but the journey is ours to write, ours to fill in and flesh out. Come discover where everyone who wasn't Ron, Harry, or Hermione went after fleeing Bill & Fleur's wedding, listen to the Sorting Hat's song for a new Headmaster, watch the DA reform and scheme up protests to the Carrows reign, the Death Eaters plan attacks on Muggle and Wizarding societies from inside the Ministry of Magic, and members of the Order of the Phoenix strive to keep a light shining in the dark. Join us in our endeavor to develop the adventures unseen as time winds down to a final battle unlike any writing experience you've had. Hallowed Ground is searching for the absolute fullest compliment of cast possible. We accept any character mentioned in the seven Harry Potter books who is known to be alive on 1 July, 1997, and encourage insightful takes on both characters we know loads about and particularly ones we've barely met. The game will be played in real time, with some flexing as we approach the holiday season to allow for players' personal schedules. It is set to start 1 November, 2008 (1 July, 1997 in game) and end 19 August, 2009 (19 April 1998 in game), with as much time as is needed after to properly finish threads. Applications are being accepted now; both so that our players have time to get to know each other before we begin, and also so that we might get a majority of characters cast before the stories start, as it's harder to justify adding a character after significant events have passed unplayed. Players are asked to work with canon to develop their own path through the known story lines as we write, as there is already so much available room to maneuver. Writers interested in applying should know that this will be a very community oriented game, with opportunities to develop friendships, contribute ideas, help see them to fruition, and have your voice heard. Moderating will be done by a council of founders to start, with elected players rotating the founders as we progress, preventing power trips and encouraging player participation while still providing the necessary assistance and guidance to make a game run smoothly. Experience is not required; we firmly believe that a writer brand new to RPG can develop a character fabulously and fully. Seasoned players are also happily accepted with their favourite known characters or brand new explorations, now is your chance to let someone new invade your brain!

[05 Sep 2008|12:38am] If everyone knew 1984 was when everything was going to happen, why was no one prepared? Hexennacht is an alternate universe MWPP game set in 1985; a world where Gellert Grindelwald is now the Minister of Magic for all of Europe, and Muggleborn wizards live in fear of the Black Caps, Grindelwald's personal army, charged with keeping the Muggles and wizards alike in line. Hexennacht begins with the latest decree restricting magic allowed by Muggleborn wizards to the simplest forms of magic, while the purebloods are allowed to get away with murder. With the Death Eaters on the run, Voldemort in Azkaban with no hope of getting out, and the Order in hiding, along with the remains of their single ally, a former terrorist organization, is there any hope of restoring Europe to a land of tolerance? Full information can be found in the moderator's info. Game can be found here. Wanted Characters: Death Eaters (Rosier, Karkaroff, Crabbe, Nott, Selwyn, Travers, et al.) James Potter, Peter Pettigrew, Antonin Dolohov, The Weasleys, Prewetts, Bones, Kingsley Shacklebolt, Malfalda Hopkirk, Sturgis Podmore, Severus Snape, Heathcote Barbary, Merton Graves, Orsino Thruston, Donaghan Tremlett, Gideon Crumb, and others. post comment

[05 Sep 2008|01:23am] PREMISE;; Genetic mutation has always been a dirty little secret, one that wasn't easily kept. The government used to be in control of these anomalies, but there was a large jump in numbers at the turn of the millennium. More and more children were coming up with signs of genetic mutation, and blame was being placed everywhere it could be. Government testing, herbal supplements, a new enemy's war tactic, global warming, and the breakdown of the genetic structure itself. There was no explanation to give the families of those changed, and the government's only suggested cure was containment. (continued) It seemed like things were going to change for the better after the death of President McCannials. Miles Griffin took the office gladly, with an image of hope for the mutants. He'd brought back their rights, given them their lives back. The hospital was gone, and seemingly, the testing had stopped. But, Miles Griffin had other plans down his sleeve. By giving them their rights back, the mutants could be used in Government and Military means. Shortly after the downfall of the first mutant hospital, mutants began disappearing again. This rang many bells to the world, wondering why, on earth, mutants were disappearing. And in such large numbers, too. WANTED;; While there is a large number of mutants to humans, we will still accept mutants. But, keep in mind that humans are needed more. Also, see our story lines for what is needed for what characters. We also have a large number of organizations that need filling up. -Bananafish, a New York indie band, needs a lead guitarist -The Authoritarians and the Rebellion needs more members. (*though, IM the mod at lyrically astute, for information on this.) -PLUS MORE, and yes, you are perfectly free to make up your own organizations! ABOUT;; Metahuman is an original mutant story line based in New York City. We are a fun, active, friendly and drama-free community, seeking more! The game is futuristic (in a sense), and takes place in 2021. We allow humans, as well as mutants. The game circles around life between humans and mutants, and how they cope with one another. The game has been around for a year, at least, starting in December 2007 on greatestjournal.com. Now, the game is playing on livejournal.com.

and All That Jazz - relaunching [05 Sep 2008|12:29pm] Premise || Characters/Claims || Apply || Rules 1926, Towertown, Chicago. Prohibition's in full force, and the mob rule the streets. Speakeasy bars and dance halls thrive, serving illegal liquor, playing hot jazz, funding the mob and dodging the law. Go to a blind pig or some other dive, you'll find them serving moonshine whiskey or bathtub gin in cracked teacups. We're better than that. Half the Chicago PD drink here, The Fury's a top-notch joint. Specialist, too, which you've maybe noticed. Drinking alcohol's not the only illegal activity goes on here. We're a screwed up set, but it works. Everyone's got dirt on everyone else, and there's not one of us dares spill it for what the rest have got on us. That's all swell, but there's trouble on the horizon. There's a new guy in town. An Irishman. Trying to muscle in on territory, carve out his own place in Chicago's underworld, and carve is the right word. A body's been delivered to The Fury's doorstep, and the last shipment of liquor got itself intercepted before hitting the docks. The game's in play, and no one knows where the next move's going to end. One thing's for sure: no one's going down without a hell of a fight. Applications welcome at any time - play relaunches September 14th post comment

[05 Sep 2008|02:46pm] Characters * Cast * Played By * Rules * Application * Teams * Friend Button * Contact List Six years after the Battle of Hogwarts in which the Dark Lord Voldemort was defeated by the infamous Harry Potter, the lives of those affected by the war are returning to normalcy. The Ministry has been rebuilt, government restored to it's original status with security in place that most wouldn't have dreamed of more than half a decade ago. Loved ones were lost, but over the years the date of the victory had become a memorial, and those who had fought against the Dark Lord and his followers were recognized as heroes for everything they had done. Some of them returned to work at the Ministry, others got married and started families, and the elite returned to their places in the Quidditch League. Back to the pre-training seasons, practices, matches, semi-finals, finals, parties, and most importantly - the scandals, all has returned to normal in Wizarding Britain. Bring The Sun is a Post-Warts Social Harry Potter Game based in 2004 around the British/Irish Quidditch League and the players within. If you're interested in Quidditch, messy transfers, scandals, and intense matches be sure to take a look! OPENING TOMORROW! post comment

[05 Sep 2008|07:18pm] A SLIGHTLY AU RIDDLE-ERA GAME. rules × cast × application × pbs post comment

Darkest Days: An Original Mob-based PB Game [05 Sep 2008|08:09pm] Imagine a world where heroes no longer exist and the only way for the streets to become safe again is for one family to rise above the rest. Everyone has an allegiance here, the neutral don’t stay that way or alive for long. Each member of the police force is bought and paid for by someone, so there’s no point in calling when trouble comes knocking at the door. The year is 2025 and Chicago doesn’t sparkle as it once did. Everything is dirtier, grittier and more worn down than the pictures in the history books like to show. Glitz and glamour have no place here because a war is brewing in the shadows. Bullet holes and dried blood litter the city’s streets and no one thinks twice if a person is gunned down a few feet away. But it wasn't always like that. For years the Irish, Russians and Italians occupied the city on what could be considered "friendly" terms. Patrick O'Meara saw to it that the peace was kept and that each group saw to their own affairs. Each stayed out of the other's way and if someone stepped out of line, meetings between the heads of the families were called and it was settled quietly behind closed doors. Thanks to O'Meara, they were all able to coexist peacefully enough. Well, right up until someone decided to pull the trigger and open Pandora's box. Dante Morelli, son of the Italian crime boss Antonio "Tony" Morelli, was the one who decided to take matters into his own hands. A lifelong grudge held against O'Meara's son fueled his plan for revenge and without consulting any of the elders, took a few of his most trusted soldiers and put an end to Patrick O'Meara's life. It was only a matter of time before chaos ensued and more blood was shed. No one knows exactly who pulled the trigger, but then again, it really doesn't matter. Now, Conor O'Meara has been called back from Ireland to lead in his father's place and enact a little revenge of his own. All bets are off and both the Irish and Italians are gunning for each other while the Russian's, with a little meddling of their own mixed in of course, sit back and wait for the smoke to clear. So who will it be? The Italians who specialize in drug trading and follow a list of commandments? The Russians who are notorious for underground operations and clean transactions? Or the Irish who are perhaps the oldest and most organized crime group in the city? The choice is yours and without it, you might as well be dead. ::The Game:: Characters | Locations | Wanted | Family Structures | Rules | FAQs | Application ::Members Only:: Contact List | Friend All ::Communities:: In Character | Out of Character | Mod Journal Opening September 15th! post comment
