The year is 1191. The place, England. Viewing the English lands as damp and worthless, especially compared to his French holdings, King Richard I has journeyed to the Holy Land, focused on the glory of war. His island kingdom has been left in the grasping hands of his youngest brother, Prince John, and grumblings of discontent are spreading throughout the kingdom.

In the shire of Nottingham, the peasants, and a few nobles, are beginning to gather, quietly throwing their support behind a charismatic youth known as Robin Hood. Though born of noble parentage, Robin's heritage was taken from him at a tender age. His father, Malcolm, Earl of Huntingdon, abandoned his wife and son, obtaining an annulment through dubious methodology. The young Hood grew up a peasant, with none of the privileges afforded to men of rank and power. That didn't hamper his vision...nor his attitude.

The characters are based on those from the BBC Robin Hood series, though histories will be changed to reflect this alternate universe. How will your character's background, attitude, feelings, actions change if they are following not a disgraced lord scrambling to save England and regain his place in society, but a peasant, looking to rebel and change a country more than half a millennium before democracy became a household word?


Sherwood still has many characters open, including, recently, Robin Hood. Please give us a look! Any questions can be made via PM or AIM - Bookluvah

Brand New Future Gen HP RPG [21 Mar 2010|09:26am]
As the summer of 2023 comes to a close, Hogwarts is gearing up to hold a Triwizard Tournament to improve international relations. Students from Durmstrang and Beauxbatons will be spending the year at Hogwarts and three brave students will compete for glory. The memories of the last Triwizard Tournament have a few people on edge, but there hasn't been any major threat to the wizarding world in a number of years so surely it will go smoothly this time.

Little do they know, an underground struggle is forming between unseen shadows and the resurrection stone has been found and experimented on. Not even the current owner knows what effects his spells have had, but it's bound to be more than anyone bargained for.

Come discover what has happened to your favorite characters as we venture beyond the pages.
---------------------------------

Beyond the Pages is a Future Gen game with interaction happening in Hogwarts as the Triwizard Tournament takes place and outside as people long dead are given a second chance at life.

How long will the tension build? How much can those who saved the world take? How far can the wizarding world be pushed before it reaches its breaking point?

Harry Potter RPG ; Trio-era AU [21 Mar 2010|04:09pm]


speculum speculorum
or mirror of mirrors is a Harry Potter RPG set in an AU of the Trio-Era.

We know the story of Harry Potter, the boy who lived, the chosen one, but what happened if that story was flipped upside-down. The prophecy read to Lord Voldemort might have meant another boy, Neville Longbottom.

In speculum speculorum, the story is simple: Lord Voldemort went after Neville Longbottom in late 1981, not Harry Potter. Their encounter resulted in the death of both the child Neville, and the Dark Lord. Now, years later, Voldemort's most loyal are planning their revenge on those who chose the other side. They have their sights set on the other boy in that prophecy, along with his family and friends.

It is Harry Potter's 5th year at Hogwarts,
and no one is ready for what's to come.

You open your eyes to darkness. The air smells stale and confined. Lifting a hand, you feel glass, smooth and curved. Instinctively, your heart beats faster. A tentative push and it rises away from you, swinging to the side. Light filters in through windows above. You blink, your eyes adjusting to the shadowed room as you try to remember what happened.

A thin layer of dust covers everything. There are no panes of glass in the windows. The virus. You remember now. They told you stasis was a precaution. Only a few weeks. A month, at best. Let them get the virus under control.

Standing beside your pod, legs shaking from disuse, you feel a sense of apprehension creeping over you. Your heart beats even faster now. A table nearby has a pile of scrolls on it and, with a sense of foreboding, you cross to find the one with your initials on it.

~~~ The year is 2100. ~~~

Waking Pandora is an AU, post-apocalyptic Harry Potter RPG based partially on the History Channel series Life after People. One hundred years after humanity is destroyed by a Muggle-made virus, people - magical and muggle - are waking up in the stasis pods that had been humanity's bid for survival.

Armed with only a small pack of things, your wits, and limited initial magical ability, you must learn to not only survive but also rebuild the world, brick by brick, and child by child. Anything is possible in Waking Pandora.

Ask yourself this: Do you want to be a vital part of an RPG that is more than just commonplace and routine? Where the world you build is literally the new world of humanity and players can participate as much as they want? Then Waking Pandora is the place for you.

Wake up to a world where Hope and the future is what you make of it. Waking Pandora

Most Wanted: Ron Weasley, Dean Thomas, Ernie Macmillan, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Susan Bones, Lee Jordan, Rodolphus Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, Parvati Patil and more. Original Character applications being accepted. Ask us how!

HP LOVECRAFT BASED RPG. [21 Mar 2010|08:52pm]

``the ancient, mouldering, and subtly fearsome town...witch-cursed, legend-haunted Arkham, whose huddled, sagging gambrel roofs and crumbling Georgian balustrades brood out over the centuries beside the darkly muttering Miskatonic.``


Arkham, Massachusetts. A subtle, sleepy little town whose roots run deep in New England history and into the very pits of hell, some would say. To most of it's residents it is nothing but a town created and sustained by long lines of ancestry. To some of its residents its dark underbelly is a suitable hiding place and hunting ground. To a few, it is a town of mysteries to be explored or exploited. Arkham is has long been the home of many things that go bump in the night and yet, so many of it's residents remain blissfully unaware.


The Unnameable is a Lovecraftian based Role Play, in which residents stuggle to cope with the everyday pressures of a life in Arkham, Massachusetts, a place where people vanish without a trace and the forces of light and dark battle against a deeper, darker presence buried just under the earth.

By day the town is a seemingly average college town, by night it becomes the haven for a host of dark deeds. Cultists practice ritual sacrifices while vampires drain the blood of the innocent.

Welcome to Arkham.

We are looking for a group of active players with which to start this community. There are three moderators, so applications will be processed extremely quickly. Please come check us out!

Downfall RPG [21 Mar 2010|10:12pm]
it started with shrieks
...and then the world just... ended. Most of the population died, and the rest that didn't mutated. They became hideous, feral creatures that terrorize each other and us... or they became what's left of the human race.

That's us. We're the survivors of the Apocalypse. We've made our way so far, and we've settled into a relatively safe hotel to try and come to terms with life, our new powers and the challenges that keep coming up. There are others out there, though... people that are violently claiming territory, making our lives more terrifying than they already were. There was an attack, too. We lost a man. We're holding the attacker, but... what do we do with him?

Where do we go from here?

We are currently seeking to fill 5 open spots in our game. The spots are first-come, first-serve. Placing a hold does not mean that you are guaranteed admission into the game. If your application is not up to par, we will not accept you. We are - however - some of the friendliest mods you will ever find, period. We're fun and willing to take any ideas into consideration. You will never be refused for your play-by choice, or rejected without explanation. This is an anti-clique atmosphere with mod and player driven plots. Come here and find a home you can really enjoy, with people that will always scene with you. If you cannot handle 7 days = 1 week of game time, please do not apply. We are on our 9th week, so you will be joining 9 days after the Apocalypse. In other words, you are not too late to join in on the action!

The new characters will be coming into the game as a small group!
