As children, we're expected not just to believe in fairy tales, but to embrace them. Boys can fly and live as children forever, girls can be rescued from their evil step-mothers and whisked away to castles in pumpkin coaches; the world is an endless stretch of possibility set against a backdrop of inherent freedom. It is only a fiction. The world eventually reveals itself to be an unkind place, the villains not easily defeated, no fairy godmother to come to the rescue. The loss of innocence is taken in stride by some, and those fortunate masses go on to become grown-ups, to live out their lives in some boring profession or another, to forget magic after passing it along to their own children. But what of those who grow older without growing up? What if Alice witnessed something so terrifying that she never wanted to leave Wonderland? What if Belle's beast was so cunning and so cruel that she could not bear to part from him, his murder of her father aside? For all of those who fell through the cracks, for the most unique and the least privileged, the untouchable and the uncared for, for the most heartbreaking and horrifying, there exists a refuge. The shelter? A deceptively quiet New England hospital; Cheshire Crossing. |

there is no news, there is only the truth of the signal
Earth-that-was became barren and uninhabitable, so humanity packed up its bags and made outer space its new frontier. Terraforming converted planets into colonies of varying status, some rich with technology and others poor and primitive. The core colonies became the Alliance, and the Alliance became a force to be reckoned with, seeking to take all of the other planets until their power. Then came the Unification War. To sum it up, the Alliance won, and the Independents? They lost the battle, but they weren't completely defeated. Many of the surviving Brown Coats scattered to the edges of the 'verse, doing what it took to survive under the new regime. Out here, people struggled to get by with the most basic technologies; a ship would bring you work, a gun would help you keep it. A captain's goal was simple: find a crew, find a job, keep flying.
That War was nearly seven years ago. The year is 2517 A.D. This is the story of the crews of two starships that are doing just that -- doing what it takes to make a living in the outer planets, whether it's legal or not -- and the one crew that's out there to uphold the law. A job's a job, right?A Serenity/Firefly-inspired sci-fi game welcoming all original characters.

SALEM ACADEMY

Witchcraft is not evil. At least not any more than lighting a votive candle, praying for a sick friend, or carrying a lucky charm is. --Lady Sabrina |
| The truth of the matter is that magic exists. It's been right under everyone's noses for centuries, and yet it's been kept secret. The Statute of Secrecy had been threatened, possibly compromised, and for the first time ever, Muggles are about to learn of the existence of witches and wizards. |
| Already groups have formed. Groups bent on revealing wizards to the world. Groups bent on covering everything up and keeping it as quiet as it's been. The school's safety has been compromised once before. What's next for the students of Salem Academy? |
