Imagine ineffable power: the sun, stars and sky at your disposal. Imagine a life on high, surrounded by beauty and song (and some blood, because there is always blood). Imagine the sound of your own name as sacred, your likeness a holy object, temples built solely to praise your benevolence. Imagine all that waning with dawn of a new day, and the birth of a three-faced man-god whose worshipers soon outstrip your own. Imagine what you'd be willing to do if it meant keeping a grip on your own glory, and that of those which you loved best.
The mighty and endless Greek gods, compressed down into near-nothing. With Greece's decline and Rome's demise as the end-all to empires, an idea spread amongst the immortal. (Who thought of it first? Olympians? Protogenoi? Did it really matter?) The sanctity of their power might shrivel, but they would gather themselves up and bide their time. There was power left to them. They still had tales to tell.
And so time ticked on. The gods tended their little mortal gardens, choosing those most fit to coexist with. Some of them withered away into the aether. Others gave up on dreams of rising back to power. Others still refused to lie down and die, and more than a handful of them set up shop in the new Rome, New York City. Trite? Overdone? Oh, yes. But the gods are the gods, and the city burns with a familiar, comforting power. Their time is not yet over. |

The Vessels is a sandbox-style game which takes the concept of Greek gods reincarnated into mortal bodies, and combines it with a deliberately loose moderating style. Tell the stories you've wanted, but never got around to. Clash against family, lovers, friends or foes. Write out the struggle of what happens when once-omnipotent immortals squat inside normal peoples' bodies. Know your characters, know your concepts, and go play.
Holds now open. Game starts on August 10. |

Sorry if this isn't allowed here but I didn't see anything in the rules stating that it wasn't. Hollywood Life is a brand new Celeb Comm just opening today and we'd love to see some new members. Adds are done as they are noticed and holds are allowed as well. Since we just opened a lot of characters are up for grabs! Check out the rules and get your application or hold in!!

All Families Welcome
Madison Falls is a planned community carefully straddling the borders of New York and Pennsylvania. Those that were open to larger more complicated relationships decided create a city that was not only self sufficient but near enough for those that still needed to commute and it is now open to families moving in.
Families here are fluid, two moms and one dad, three dads, children with different parents. It's about the love and respect as a foundation of a family, nothing else. The first community of it's kind, the only pre requisite for moving in, is an open mind.
An adult community where all children are NPCs and all characters in play must be at least 18 years of age. It's like any other real life town role play, except no one is limited by the 'social conventions' that put rules on what is a family, and what is love.
