Tool maker, stacker of wheat,
Player with railroads
and the nation's freight handler;
Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the big shoulders."

It's been called the "Queen of the West," the "City by the Lake," "Paris on the Prairie," "My Kind of Town," and the "Windy City" but to those who live in Chicago and the nine surrounding counties of the Chicagoland area, it's just home. When you live in Chicago, you have to know how to get around and when you visit you have to know where the best of the best in the area is! The news team at NBC Chicago spends their lives bringing viewers the ins and outs of the sparkling city on Lake Michigan.
At NBC Chicago, you'll follow the lives on the on-air teams in the morning, afternoon, and night. They keep you up to date on local and national news, up-to-the-minute traffic and weather reports, up-to-date on local sports teams and give you the latest medical and health news. Of course, no on-air team would work without the dedication from the behind-the-scenes crew that's at-the-ready from dawn until well after midnight.
NBC Chicago RPG is an in-character, thread/log centric game. We're looking for players who are dedicated writers, looking to create their own characters and storylines and interact with other players to create a fun and active environment!

| Changed: AU 7th Year Trio Game Now Accepted Applications and Holds |

ONE DECISION CAN CHANGE THE WORLD
Changed is an AU game that follows a timeline which assumes that Peter Pettigrew made quite a different choice in 1981. Rather than betraying his closest friends to Voldemort, Peter confessed his regretted Dark Mark to Albus Dumbledore and to the Order of the Phoenix. As a result, when Voldemort came to the Godric’s Hollow on Halloween, he was met with the full force of the Order’s power, which broke his own. At the time, it was thought that Voldemort had been defeated forever, but now the world knows know that this was not the case and a second war is building. In the midst of that war, a boy who never was The Boy Who Lived has a prophecy to fulfill, but that boy’s world is immensely different. How different? Come to Changed, and craft your own answer to that question.

1977 is a dark time for the Wizarding World. A powerful Dark wizard known only as Lord Voldemort has been making a steady climb towards power, and with him, he brings his ideals: pureblood supremacy and extermination or suppression of muggles and muggleborns. To his followers, he promises power and glory beyond imagination; to his enemies, he promises death.
The students inside Hogwarts castle have been, up to now, relatively sheltered from the events outside its walls. However, when they board the train to school, three of their number are missing. Three muggleborn students and their families have been killed by Lord Voldemort and his followers the night before they were to leave for school, and this triple massacre makes the conflict entirely too personal for many students. As with any war, lines are drawn. Families and close friends stand on either side, wrenched apart by their beliefs. Many students lie awake at night trying to decide where their loyalties lie, and just how to shift from the grey neutrality of school to the black and white of its outside world.
Incanesco is a canon-compliant game set in 1977, focusing on the First Wizarding War and its effects on the students of Hogwarts, particularly those with close friends and family on both sides of the war. We offer friendly, active players, fascinating CR, a well-developed game canon, and a plot with lots of twists and turns. Join today!

| Pax Letale: Gods Reborn |
[10 Jul 2011|08:02pm] |

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 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. Brighid is the Celtic goddess of the forge, inspiration, compassion and creativity, and a patron goddess of artists, craftsmen, and other creative types. In her mortal life, she may have connections to her parents, her siblings, or any of the Celtic pantheon. Masauwu is a Hopi deity sometimes called the Skeleton Man, Keeper of Fire, Spirit of Death, and the Master of the Fourth (present) World. He is depicted as a dark-skinned man wearing a mask; sometimes the creature beneath this mask is described as handsome, sometimes as a disfigured monster. Connections to Native American deities and gods and goddesses of death or enlightenment are likely. ADDITIONAL AVAILABLE TENANTSDon'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.Pax Letale has re-opened under new management.
Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons.MODS | RPG | OOC | PREMISE | AVAILABLE | RULES | CHARACTERS | |

| A Game of Thrones Group PSL |
[10 Jul 2011|09:13pm] |
A GAME OF THRONES AU GROUP PSL
Greetings from the Seven Kingdoms! We are recruiting players for a plot-heavy Game of Thrones group PSL on InsaneJournal, and we the mods (as well as the players) are seeking commited writers for a variety of main roles including but not limited to; Sansa Stark, Bran Stark, Asha Greyjoy, Davos of Fleabottom, Lancel Lannister, the Hound & the Mountain, Euron & Victarion Greyjoy, Benjen Stark, Edmure Tully, Brynden Tully, Meera & Jojen Reed, Arianne Martell, Doran Martell, Barristan Selmy, Mace Tyrell, Willas & Garlan Tyrell, the Queen of Thorns, Beric Dondarrion, Selyse Florent, Jon & Robert Arryn, Kevan Lannister, Trystane & Quentyn Martell, Ramsay Snow, Bronn, Jaqen, Shae and many others, including original characters!
The basic premise of this AU is that when Robert Baratheon and Rhaegar Targaryen met on the trident it was the stag who was struck down and the dragon prince that prevailed in his place, thus changing the lay of the land, so to speak. The game is set in the same year as the books begin, with almost all of the same characters, though certain characters have been aged up in keeping with the television series.
The game started on June 11th and both the mods and players are very helpful and more than willing to talk plot with new and old players alike! There is lots of room for individual lines as well as a lot of group plot spurred and supported by the mods, who are available to help drum up plot for characters that are struggling to find interaction.
Due to privacy reasons we have elected to keep this game friends-locked, so interested players please comment here or on this entry, and we'll friend the journal you respond with so you can see the rest of the information posted on the mod journal.
- love, the mods
