Goals:
- To restructure HP canon so that the horcruxes are found in the Marauders' era instead of trio's.
- Make finding and the destruction of the horcruxes more of a challenge than it was in canon.
- Create wizarding world cultures around the world based on the clues provided by Rowling in canon as well as myths, legends, and folklore from around the world.
- Get together a community of players who are friendly, active, fun to play with, and know their stuff.
- Encourage player activity by posting in depth posts for each location, prompts (that include recaps of what's just happened in game, interesting facts about the culture, and even major plot advancements) twice every week, and keeping a calendar so players who have fallen behind or are new to the game won't get left behind.
- Create an action-packed game with regards to canon that still has the lightheartedness that the books and movies do -- not crack game, but a game where players are allowed to have a sense of humor.
- Expand on the characters' choices (enabling them to potentially become very different people and perhaps even switch sides over the course of the game) by giving them choices and opportunities they never had in the books. This includes placing them among characters they usually don't interact with much and in locations they would usually never go.
- Give Death Eaters a vital role in the game instead of making them stand around looking fierce.
Resources plumbed in the course of research:
- A Wikipedia article about a famous natural wonder (among others) whose location is undisclosed for its protection.
- A lost city or three.
- A slightly terrifying account of a Hungarian noblewoman who liked to bathe in young women's blood.
- A video of Gordon Ramsay throwing up.
- Two medieval bestiaries.
- An article on the Candiru, sometimes called the 'penis fish'. (Truly not for the faint of heart.)
- Hay in Art: a collection of great works of hay.
- The travel channel, particularly Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations
- The winners of the 2007 World Beard and Moustache Championships, which we ultimately decided not to use, but which did lead to us finding the most awesome wallpaper ever.
- The homepage for Bush's Baked Beans. Looking back now, this one got seriously out of hand.
- (Warning: probably NSFW) These slippers. In this case, we have no excuse to offer.
Put it all together and you get an AU Harry Potter RPG set in 1979, with the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters racing each other all over the world to find the Horcruxes. No, honestly. You really do.
Now Seeking: Lily Evans, Alice Longbottom, Remus Lupin, Alastor Moody, James Potter, Fabian Prewett, Severus Snape, Andromeda Tonks, Emmeline Vance, Alecto Carrow, Amycus Carrow, Antonin Dolohov, Rabastan Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Augustus Rookwood.
MANY MAJOR CHARACTERS UP FOR GRABS

City Of Hills is an aim and thread friendly PB/city based community set in San Francisco, California.
Writers of this community are promised to have control over their story lines. As long as things are kept realistic, the mod(s) will not worry about how much of whatever is going around; especially considering this is a city wide based game. If things get out of hand, the game will address the issue(s) as a whole then. Members of this community have a voice with us and their opinions and suggestions are always validated and taken into high consideration. We also will provide a lot of interactive opportunities for characters. All play by (PB) types welcome.

APOCALYPSE NIGHT: A NIGHT WORLD RPG
Rules | Races/Terminology | Questions? | Timeline | Taken Characters
Wanted Characters | Application | Players | Moderator
The Night World isn't a place. It's all around us. It's a secret society of vampires, werewolves, witches, and other creatures of darkness that live among us. They're beautiful and deadly and irresistible to humans. They’ve been living secretly among us for centuries.
But now a battle is coming...
It's end of an era and the dawn of the new Millennium. The lines are being drawn. The new Night People are more ruthless and bloodthirsty than ever before, and they're getting ready to destroy the human world. But the light has its champions, too. Four have been born, four Wild Powers who can stop the darkness from winning... if they and their soulmates can survive.
Actively Seeking: MENFOLK, more witches (also preferably of the male variety), shapeshifters, vampire hunting humans, and BADDIES (because not everyone wants to be BFFs with their preferred food source). |
