[18 Dec 2011|03:58pm] will we EVER have a normal year at hogwarts? Twenty-five years after the fateful Tournament, the political atmosphere in Britain and Europe had changed drastically. The threat of the Dark wizard known as Lord Voldemort had disappeared, and in the years following the triumph, governments arose that were much more focused on cooperation and tolerance among wizards and witches at home and internationally. In 2019, a contingent of people led by Second Wizarding War hero Harry Potter and Bulgarian Quidditch superstar Viktor Krum formed, eager to encourage the next generation to focus on others' similarities rather than their differences. Both leaders spoke eloquently of the lasting friendships they had made and the valuable lessons they had learned during the 1994 Triwizard Tournament. They advocated a replacement event for the student population. With the assistance of the International Association of Quidditch, three years later, the inaugural Junior International Quidditch Tournament is set to begin. Four Quidditch teams representing their schools will compete against each other in a series of matches throughout the academic year, with two finals at the end of the year to determine the overall winner. And alongside all the Quidditch fever that is sure to grip the castle, the typical difficulties of an academic year at Hogwarts must still be traversed: exams, friendships, romance, and antics. Can they handle the pressure? Feinted is a canon-compliant next-gen role-playing game set at Hogwarts during the school year 2022–2023.

[18 Dec 2011|05:49pm] Avalon Apartments MODS • RPG • OOC Are you ready to move in? Premise Races Taken + Held Wanted Avalon Apartments Rules FAQ + Dropbox Apply For centuries the magical races of the world have existed along humankind, for better and for worse. However, with humanity's growing numbers, and with their ideal habitats quickly disappearing, many creatures have done their best to adapt to a world that no longer believes in them. Many have melded into the fray of every-day life, gotten jobs, gone to school, established relationships and families with humans. While some still pine for the old days it's becoming increasingly more obvious that if they're to survive they need to find a way to assimilate without completely losing who they are. Avalon Apartments was established in 1997, by Delilah Vance. The building rests a thirty minute drive North of the hustle and bustle of New York City and offers as many "old world" amenities, and modern conveniences to its tenants as it possibly can. avalon_apts is an original character fantasy game that focuses on character interaction and development. Brand new game! Starts with the addition of one more player! post comment

Pax Letale: a modern myth game [18 Dec 2011|07:47pm] PAX LETALE: GODS REBORN In Southern California, there recently opened a new luxury apartment building. Impeccably designed, impossibly convenient, ideally located, Pax Letale is the sort of residential Shangri La where Southern Californians spend all manner of favors and years trying to secure a spot. But Pax doesn't have a waiting list, nor can a place there be bought or sold. The people who find their way to Pax Letale belong there. Every tenant of Pax is a reincarnated deity, some of whose worshipers are by and large long dead. Once very real, these gods began to fade as science and reason dispelled the probability of their existence. Reborn as mortals, their essences remain, waiting to be awakened. Somehow, sometimes one by one, sometimes in groups or pairs, these creatures of destiny have discovered Pax, and have not been able to resist its pull. For at Pax Letale, the awakening has begun. As these gods rediscover themselves and each other, the seemingly invisible but ubiquitous management tracks each of them quite closely, and the very building itself seems to have an agenda of its own. And as the gods made humans in their own image - or humans made them in theirs - so will the the behavior of the people of Pax turn as dark as their myths. Blood, strife, sex, petty plots, torture - even murder will wind their ways into Pax Letale. A lovely place. A peculiar place. A dangerous place. Available Tenants: Enki is the Babylonian god of water, crafts, intelligence and creation. Twin of and best friend of Ereshkigal, goddess of the Underworld, he is often seen as a positive foil to his brother Enlil, utilizing his magic and cunning for the good of others; he brings aid to deities and humans alike, serving as a rare masculine nuturer in a chaotic and often oppressively patriarchal pantheon. He will likely have connections to Tiamat, Ereshkigal, and other Sumero-Babylonian deities. Frigg is considered the queen of the Norse pantheon. She is associated with married women, childbirth, and on occasion, unrevealed prophecy. Her human counterpart may have interactions with the whole of the Norse pantheon, but most closely with her husband Odin, her sons Baldr and Höðr, and with Loki, who orchestrated Baldr's death. Spider Grandmother is a creator goddess present in the pantheons of several Native American tribes. Legend says she sang humanity into being, and created the stars from a web laced with dew. Her human host may have connections to other members of the Native American pantheons, as well as to other deities of creation or growth. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTS Don't see a tenant that interests you? Other deities and pantheons are welcome - pick one of the active pantheons in the game, or talk to a mod if there's one you don't see, and make your modern god as you see him/her/it. Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons. MODS | RPG | OOC | PREMISE | AVAILABLE | RULES | CHARACTERS post comment
