"People believe. It's what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen."
-- Neil Gaiman, American Gods |
Forgotten Gods follows the deities of ancient mythologies, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers have moved on to new religions, the gods' powers have waned -- for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, intent on regaining the power that was once theirs and reviving their followings.
And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the old ones, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep, abiding wariness.
Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology. |

 | So eager for The battle did not go according to plan, and Victoria was outraged to find out that her numbers were no longer in tact. She hadn't set out on that journey only to fail, and when brought face to face with one of her many enemies, she fled the scene with Riley into seclusion. Time to regroup was all she needed in order to succeed, but would it be enough? And though it was a victory in many respects, this wouldn't be the end of her vendetta against the Cullen clan.
What if James had never really died? What if there was someone waiting in the wings for the Cullens to disperse and collected his ashes before he was completely turned to nothing but dust? He spent the months biding his time, and watching Victoria's actions from afar, amused by the lengths she would go to to avenge his murder. Unbeknownst to them, he tracked Alice, Bella and Edward all the way to Italy, keeping his distance all the while.
With Victoria at a desperate point to bring down the Cullens and the Volturi offering to help despite their own turmoil in their inner circle, will James ever let his existence be known again? Or will he continue to simply observe the going-ons around him? And just how will the Quileutes react to the idea of Jacob Black being the rightful Alpha male?
Now that a war is about to begin, what side will you choose? eternal damnation.

Welcome to Asheville, North Carolina!
Asheville has been proclaimed to be a "New Age Mecca" as well as "the new freak capital of the US". Most people overlook these statements made by the media, because most of Asheville's residents live there because it was named one of the top seven places to live in the US, it's location in the mountains and surrounding areas is ideal, and life moves at a slower pace in the South.
Little do people know that the first two statements are true, and Asheville has been rumored to sport some serious supernatural activity.
For many years supernatural creatures of all shapes, sizes and backgrounds have been migrating to this city in the Blue Ridge Mountains. None of them can quite put their finger on why they are drawn there, but there is a pull that they just can't ignore. Perhaps it has something to do with the convergence of all these different supernaturals, or maybe something darker is brewing underneath the city of Asheville.
Adds are every Thursday and Sunday!

In 2010 the world as we knew it began to change. It started with rumors and stories about humans performing amazing feats. Being able to fly, producing fire from their hands, turning invisible. Stories that most people thought were science fiction or the kind of stuff the Enquirer would print. However, the sightings continued until what was once considered rumor became fact: humans were beginning to evolve. Soon the stories were on every news channel accompanied with videos to prove these so called 'mutants' existed which left many of the evolved and non-evolved to wonder the same questions:
Where did this come from? Why were certain people changing while others stayed the same? And what happens next? Find out at:

Los Angeles
What does the name mean to you? The City of Angels is all about the dream: every night thousands lay their heads down to sleep and surrender their souls to the mercy of these streets. Some of them dream of bohemian ecstasy; they're artists, freaks, and geeks who find sanctuary in the exclusive communities. Some want their moment in the sun, seeking fame and fortune on the Platinum Triangle. Others have come for the safety to simply be as they are, to choose their own path whether it be down a back alley or a trim boulevard.
Yet others have come to drink up the nightmares of these sleeping citizens and snuff out every light that still burns in the dark.
They know the true secret of L. A., the pretty city on the beach. Its dreamers are not all human, some not even human-like, and they too have come to scratch out an existence here. Many are content to blend into human society, but many more are not. They live to destroy everything humans are made of, to subjugate them and consume their souls. These monsters have attracted powerful enemies from above who will lay down their lives for both Man and God. They are drawing battle lines down the very streets, and all who live here will choose a side... or none will survive.
Join us to visit the City of Angels, the city of dreams and nightmares, and watch fate slowly unveiling.
"The final story, the final chapter of western man, I believe, lies in Los Angeles."
— Phil Ochs

 Voldemort was dead and life went on. Students who had spent the last year fighting for their lives suddenly found themselves in a world with limitless possibility, capable of finding new direction and new purpose. There were job interviews to go on and bills to pay. Funerals and first dates. Second dates. Weddings. Children. Twenty-eight years later, a new generation of students will be boarding the Hogwarts Express- the children of war heroes and villains alike. With the Second War safely behind them in their History of Magic textbooks, these students find themselves blessed with the opportunity to live normal lives as normal teenagers, focused on Hogsmeade weekends, school events and N.E.W.T. exams and faced with the choice to either put the past behind them or settle for living in the shadow of their parents. Adolescence is challenging enough, a time of increasing independence and creative exploration. As these teenagers prepare for their last years at Hogwarts, will they step out as individuals -- away from their parents' pasts -- or will lingering prejudices continue to affect social order? SWOTTING is a next-gen, canon-compliant RPG focused on character development, interpersonal relationships and providing a realistic school experience at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. SEEKING ALBUS POTTER, LILY POTTER, MATTHEW BOOT, ROXANNE WEASLEY, LOUIS WEASLEY, ALLISON LONGBOTTOM, CONNOR FINNIGAN, RACHEL GOLDSTEIN, AARON GOLDSTEIN, FIFTH YEARS, AND MORE!
