[25 Jan 2009|01:40am] Perhaps you're asleep. Perhaps you're walking through a door. Maybe you've just closed your eyes for a moment, maybe you're daydreaming, maybe you're not paying attention, maybe even you've just died. However it happens, it happens. You take that step through, you open your eyes, you look around. And you're not where you were a moment ago. Welcome to the Network. Right now, you'll find yourself in a hospital room. Something seems to be missing, though. Maybe it's the lack of that distinctive hospital smell, or the fact that there's no beeping machines. In fact, other than a bed and the small table next to it, there's nothing in the room. Or maybe that's not it at all. Maybe it's that you don't have a chart at the end of your bed. Or that there doesn't seem to be any doctors and nurses walking around, and you're free to get up and roam as you please. You'll even see, once you leave your personal room, that you're not the only one. Some of the rooms you pass seem normal enough as you walk down the hall. More private rooms, some comfortable-looking waiting rooms. Even an abandoned nurses' station, and signs pointing to the cafeteria on the ground floor. Except -- wait, was that really a gym you just passed? A computer lab? A theater? Don't worry, you'll get used to it. You'll have to. The Network doesn't give you much of a choice. --------- * The Network is a NEW pan-fandom game. Original characters are accepted. Everyone is welcome! We just opened and are waiting for some new faces to start up! Game will begin in a week!

EMPTY CORRIDOR - HP NEXT GEN RPG [25 Jan 2009|12:57pm] | premise | rules | faqs | characters | application | Will you be next? For many centuries, Hogwarts has been hailed as the safest place in the word. This was true [unless your name happened to be Harry Potter] until a cold, windy January night in 2023 when screams were heard echoing across the walls. Faculty rushed to the empty corridor on the fourth floor where the sound was thought to be originating from. What they discovered was a pupil dead with strange markings on her arms. Her name was Dalia Fitzsimmons, a half blood fifth year and chaser for the Ravenclaw house. Panic rose throughout the school and students were sent home immediately due to safety. The grounds were searched but no evidence or no foul play was found. No one knows who or what caused Dalia’s death. Now a week has passed and the school has reluctantly reopened. Many were against the reopening, and several parents have decided not to permit their younger children to attend. Society is still up in arms about the murder. Rumors, gossip, and accusations fill the halls of Hogwarts. The questions on everyone’s lips are where were you on the night of Dalia’s death? What did the strange markings mean? Who was behind this?

Paradigm, a smallish town near the coast, just a few miles away from Ocean City. THE MAIN PLOT The belief that media has a large effect on the behaviors of children and teens has been around for quite a few years now. What if it was true? What if there were kids, teens--adults even!--who acted just like all those stereotypical characters on the screen? Paradigm is a roleplay game of the interaction between characters fitting the common archetypes of popular media fiction; from "The Prince" archetype in fairytale and disney movies to the "The Dojikko" archetype in anime and manga. It's all original character in completely stereotypical categories, set in a town where strange things are treated like the norm. post comment

The Field: A Game That Defies Genre [25 Jan 2009|09:06pm] Have you ever imagined what it would be like to wake up one morning and be completely lost? Imagine that you go to sleep one night and wake up the next morning not where you were supposed to be. All that you have with you is the clothes you were wearing when you fell asleep and perhaps your pillow or blanket, if you are lucky. Confused, you lift your head up to see that it is a beautiful morning. Not a cloud in the sky and the sun is already dazzling. As you clear the sleep from your eyes, certain things start to stand out. You are alone, in a vast field. There is a gentle breeze blowing through the grass. The purple grass. You've never seen grass like that before and as you blink through the bright, nearly white light of the sun you notice the treeline and think that you've never seen trees and vegitation quite like that before either. In a panic you jump up, you run. You run and run and maybe even call out. Call for help. The only thing that answers is the rustle of small animals in the brush, the scatter of brightly coloured birds unlike any you've ever seen before. Before long you tire yourself out. You keep moving until you are exhausted, you give in to fear. Maybe even sit down to cry. This gives you time to think. How did this happen to you? What happened last night? How did you end up in this strange, strange place so far from home? Unfortunately, nothing at all comes to you. It isn't until that strange white sun starts to sink below the trees that you hear them. In the distance, a strange laughing. No, it's not laughing but it is some kind of animal call. They are large, and there are more than a couple of them. They are moving your way, following the scent of your sweat, you're fear. The only thing that you know then is that whatever they are, you don't want them to find you. And then: "Hey," someone says from the brush, barely a whisper. "Hey, over here." You look and find the face of someone just as dirty, clad in pajamas and wearing a lap blanket like a cape over their shoulders. It's dirty as well. They gesture for you to follow and more than anything else, you are so relieved. You've been found, and whatever has happened, at least you aren't alone anymore. The Field is a game that explores how a group deals with fear, most especially fear of the unknown. It's a game of survivalism starring every likely and unlikely type of person imaginable. Terror, sadness, joy and possibly even friendship and pride are possible in this game. There are no frills and flashy graphics here, just solid storytelling, drama and explorations into character development.

Welcome to the City of Sin ( original supernatural game ) [25 Jan 2009|11:12pm] The power of belief is stronger than anyone could ever imagine, it is more like a force of nature than anything, something real and almost tangible. What gives Belief this power? Humans. What they believe in the most, what holds sway over their heart and soul is who is in favour, who holds the world in the palm of their hand. When the belief in God and his Light is strong then the world is held in his favour, but as soon as that belief is questioned then His grasp looosens and Darkness begins to enter. For thousands of years the Gods of light have held their own against the darkness, winning the eternal battle which rages. However in the past three hundreds year that light has begun to slip, darkness has snuck in over the land, stealing into the hearts of the mortals and taking the place of their belief in the divine. Forcing them to question how God could do this to them. It is because of that questioning, doubting their faith in Him, that Darkness was given the chance to rule, to take over His place. They didn't dally, didn't wait. They were ready and they struck like vipers. With darkness came sin; violence, hatred, greed, lust. The acts of the Humans deteriorated into vile deeds which tore apart the World and the belief system which had reigned for so long. It was at this point, some two hundred years ago, that some exceptionally power beings of darkness realised what they could see; a dark age. An age where darkness ruled the mortal realm, colliding with Hell as heaven was finally eradicated. What we are looking for; » Dedicated, creative, self-motivated players who are willing to push boundaries. » Due to the nature of CoS we would like to see some strong characters. Characters who will force others to take action. » At CoS your hand will not be held through plot and it is expected of you to push your character forward regarding plot. » Players who enjoy a dark setting and like to push limitations and themselves. wanted characters thecityofsin, thecityofooc, thecitylines the premise » the rules » the races » the groups » las vegas info/the businesses » the taken & held pbs && the character caps » wanted characters » characters » application » cast && friend adders post comment
