Three years after an asteroid struck Earth and two years after the end of the Long Winter it caused, 90% of humanity is dead. A new world struggles to rise from the ashes of the old, though chaos and anarchy still reign. Bandits, slavers, and cannibals prey on the unwary or those that stray too close to the ruins of the big cities by themselves. There are spots of light in the darkness, however, as other groups of people attempt to live peaceable lives and rebuild society.
After Impact is a brand new post apocalyptic RPG dealing with the struggle to create a new life three years after an asteroid strike wiped out civilization and most of humanity. We are currently in our second game week and the characters have just escaped hot water leaving a very different Kansas City from the one they remember.

Charles Xavier is a man born into a world that isn’t ready for him.
Howard Stark is a man who was born ahead of his time.
Two Futurists – two men of science with visions of a better world the world around them does not seem ready for.
Charles Xavier earned Ph.Ds in genetics, biophysics, psychology, and anthropology, and an M.D. in psychiatry. He is the foremost authority on matters of genetics, mutation, and psionic ability, and is extraordinarily skilled in other areas of science, as well. Arguably the world’s most powerful telepath, Xavier is also a skilled physical combatant.
All of these gifts have been directed toward one purpose – engendering a world, through education, where homo sapiens and homo superior can peacefully co-exist.
In 2007, Xavier opened the doors of his former family home and founded the Xavier School For Gifted Youngsters. Here, young mutants would be taught to explore and control their powers in an environment of acceptance and support, settled in picturesque Westchester County, New York.
Howard Stark is a billionaire, a brilliant inventor, and a genius, years ahead of his time. With Ph.Ds in physics and mechanical engineering, Stark is adept in atomic physics, robotics, artificial intelligence, computer imagery and biochemistry. A ruthless businessman, Stark is also a skilled fighter, whether barehanded, or using any kind of weaponry, from man made to alien technology.
His goal is to make the world and our future a better place to live, through the technological advancements created by the best and brightest minds of today.
To that end, in 2009, Stark founded the Howard Stark School of Tomorrow in Hartford, Connecticut – open to only the best, the brightest, and the most gifted students. While students with Xavier’s significant X-Gene are not excluded, most of the Stark student body consists of meta-humans, and those individuals with super powers.
Here at Marvel Prep we will explore the rivalries and camaraderie’s within and between both of these very unique schools as they come into their own, and begin to shape a future that will be anything but mundane.
And who can forget the joys of teenage hormones?
Join us, and experience the fun for yourself!

| Forgotten Gods |
[18 Aug 2011|01:48pm] |

"People believe. It's what people do. They believe. And then they will not take responsibility for their beliefs; they conjure things, and do not trust the conjurations. People populate the darkness; with ghosts, with gods, with electrons, with tales. People imagine, and people believe: and it is that belief, that rock-solid belief, that makes things happen."
-- Neil Gaiman, American Gods |
Forgotten Gods follows the deities of ancient mythologies, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers have moved on to new religions, the gods' powers have waned -- for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, intent on regaining the power that was once theirs and reviving their followings.
And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the old ones, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep, abiding wariness.
Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology. |

Heated Sanguine - New Orleans Based Original RPG Hidden in the world beneath the cloak of darkness are those that the light shines on too brightly for mere mortal eyes. An abandoned King and a forgotten race of Fae are all that remain of a world torn apart by the battle of the races of time. Elf against Lycan, Fae against Vampire until all that remained were the skeletons of lost races.
Wandering the world, the vampires hid further into the night, lycans retreated to the deepest forests. The Fae slid into their underground world keeping their magic to themselves and the Elves were lost to the world and mixed into the blood of humans so much so that it was rare to find a pureblooded one anymore.
Cities are built, worlds change, a King wakens and searches for his lost lover. Their power combined is enough to reawaken a sleeping world of myths, darkness, and fairytales. In this modern day world he is no longer a King and refuses its confines. Always a reluctant King, he has done his last deed for those of this world.
Now they are all awakening, called to the power of the combined population and some...some are content in the shadows no more.. |

Wanted Characters We welcome and encourage players to try out all we have to offer. There are always openings for lines, desires for other races to come in. We'd love to see more species of Lycans, more male Fae, Elves are a little short as well. Enlightened vampire's would really help the line come along and the plots come to into play. Still, no matter what your flavor or craving, there is always something here at Heated Sanguine for you! |

| Pax Letale: A Modern Myth Game |
[18 Aug 2011|11:21pm] |
 |
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.Holds and applications are being accepted for all available pantheons.MODS | RPG | OOC | PREMISE | AVAILABLE | RULES | CHARACTERS | |
