THIS MESS WE'RE IN: a post-513 queer as folk game
In April 2005 the bonds of a family were stretched and twisted and frayed by time and distance - but these bonds were too strong to break.

Now, over five years later, not much has changed within the extended family unit that had materialized in the Pittsburgh area over the past many years. Liberty Avenue is still a bustling, blooming gayborhood within the metropolis, Debbie Novotny is still playing Mother Hen from her nest in the diner, her son is still happily "married" to a intelligent Carnegie prof, and their adopted son is taking on the world, one college course at a time. And the antihero of all antiheroes? He's still around, tragically as successful and good-looking as ever, working to hold all the frays of the past few years together, if quietly. Elsewhere, two successful women are raising a family outside of the country, and the most infamous member of the past-Pittsburgh Twink Brigade is seemingly constantly en
route within the 350 miles between Pittsburgh and NYC. If only he could decide where to replant his roots permanently.

Meanwhile, outside of the steel capital of the world, America is undergoing major renovation. With a new presidential administration comes hope for the ever-proud LGBT community, but the recent passing of Proposition 8 in California might prove to be disastrous for the progressive movement, even on the opposite coast. Political tensions are high, lives are continuing even in the midst of the nostalgia for the beginning of the new millennium, and this family is still struggling to include all of each other within their busy schedules. This Mess We're in is a post-513 roleplaying community based on the hit Showtime series Queer As Folk, and looking for fans of the cancelled show to continue the legacy of the well-developed characters we've been missing for four lost seasons.

Full Circle: A Harry Potter Future Gen Game

With the line of returning dead slowing down (or hopefully stopped), with Tom Riddle under the watchful eye of Albus Dumbledore, with Fenrir Greyback dead, with Narcissa Malfoy no longer in office as Minister for Magic, and with the "forgotten" Muggleborns still being tracked down, the wizarding world is hoping for a return of peace and normalcy.

However, two Egyptians are on their way to Scotland to try to stop the amulet that triggered the return of the dead before the rumored curse breaks free - but will anyone believe them? Will they be able to stop it in time?

Then there's the matter of the identity of the escaped returnee - who came out of the fireplace on Halloween, and what does it mean for the wizarding world?

Well-balanced. OC Friendly.

A pack of wolves have moved from Russia to London now that Greyback is out of the picture - but what are their intentions? Do they intend to attempt to police the rogue werewolf responsible for Fenrir's death - or join him?

Despite the watchful eyes on him, Tom Riddle is making plans to begin again - without repeating the mistakes of his past. But his now known half-blood status has some of his former followers more inclined to play him than follow him.

Death Eaters, young and old, are creeping out of the woodwork and banding together once more now that their Dark Lord has returned. Behind the scenes, things are moving, setting up to bring the wizarding world full circle.

Available and Held Characters | Taken Characters | Rules | Application

Halloween at Godric's Hollow changed the course of history -- a savior was slain in his crib, and a Dark Lord rose to great and lasting power.

Headmistress Umbridge has been murdered, Hogwarts closed indefinitely. Werewolf attacks are on the rise, children taken from loving homes because one parent is a werewolf. St. Mungo's is as much a place of torture as of healing as new and better ways of killing are researched. Traitors hide under the banners they chose, while madmen lead the way. The Order is weak, though mobilizing. Some have lost hope in them, while others strive to resurrect the Phoenix.

No one knows what the future will hold.

The world is different. There is no Boy Who Lived to save you.

The year is 1978. The war against the Death Eaters has been boiling under the surface for almost a decade now. It was little things at first, easy to ignore, escalating to bigger attacks, bigger crimes, and of course, retaliation. Now the country is about ready to tear itself apart as the Ministry steps up their attempts to defeat Voldemort and no one is really sure who they should trust, if they should trust anyone at all. Who can you turn to when your own government is as likely to kill you as the masked criminals roaming the streets?

Even the muggles are starting to notice. Attacks in muggle places are becoming more frequent, the Death Eaters getting more bold. And everyone is asking the same question.


How long before it's open war?



The First War is a Post-Warts, MWPP era RPG. We are canon through November 1st, 1978 and then we diverge, allowing the characters to tell their own stories.

Currently we are most interested in: Order Members, Death Eaters, and MLE Employees

The nation was stunned when it was revealed that Graydon Creed killed Professor Charles Xavier on live television to prove he was a mutant. Public outcry against the acts perpetrated by the organization known as the 'Friends of Humanity' allowed several laws to be passed in favor of mutant rights. That was more than a decade ago, in that time the realm of politics has come to an impasse. Amidst the political stalemate there was a heavy push by many parents to have mutant children removed from the school systems, that ended with special schools being set up in most major cities. The Xavier School could no longer provide the necessary post secondary education for mutants. Ororo Munroe, the new head of the School, and Hank McCoy went before the Senate and House and asked that a second school be funded on the West Coast a University for continuing mutant education. Senator Raymond F. Donaldson, a democrat from California and the first mutant on the senate, helped to push the funding through. Thus the Xavier Memorial Institute was born.

XMI is a College Level AU X-Men game set in modern day California. It is meant to be a place where OCs may flourish, new stories can be written and those who have moved to the west coast may begin again. The school grounds, commonly referred to as Mutant Island, house both a university as well as a training facility. It is also the facility which houses the mutant team Legacy. The game is open to mutants age 18+, canon and original characters are both welcome. The game hopes to combine the social and political aspects of life as a mutant with the dangers that come from living in a world where humans, mutants, and things only classified as 'other' coexist.

7:49PM - THY KINGDOM COME RPG

PREMISE

The action takes place in 2009 but in Caligland, the kingdom that lies between the realms of Heaven and Hell, Past and Present, Life and Underworld. it is the period known as The Dark Renaissance.

It is a dominion where the preternatural beings rule, vampires and werewolves are elevated to nobility and humans are nothing more than food, labour and entertainement. Of course, there are rebels that try to fight to win back the country from the unholy creatures of the night.

Four times a year, on each continent, a portal opens between our universe and that of Caligland, a unique occasion for magic and science to mix, causing explosive results. While some seek to enter the Kingdom with a deliberate purpose or a task to accomplish, others seem to end up here by pure accident.

With inspiration borrowed from ancient lore and mythology, a royal court based on the 16th century Tudor court, a vampire hierarchy and clans originating in the Vampire: the Masquerade roleplaying universe, a vast variety of supernatural fandoms to choose from and a well-elaborated plot, this game has something to offer to everyone! One of a kind opportunity to play your favorite character in a unique, exciting and user-friendly environment!

About the Game
Is that darkness, or is that hope?
The year is 1976, and the marauders have entered their sixth year. There has been talk in pureblood families of a 'Dark Lord', a man who's sole interest is purifying the wizarding world of muggles and muggleborns. He has enlisted the help of Hogwarts students, staff, and men living in Hogsmeade. With these minions, Lord Voldemort has already attacked many muggleborns, blood traitors, and Hogwarts. With the increasing attacks on Hogwarts, Headmaster Dumbledore has been given few options. After a muggleborn's death, the Headmaster has decided to lock the school. The Ministry of Magic has sent Hogwarts four aurors to help protect students and screen mail. No one gets in, and no one gets out. For now, Hogwarts has been at a lull - but how long will it last? Many students believe the attacks are coming from within Hogwarts, and fear the worst.

What are the students to do? Headmaster Dumbledore has come up with the only possibly solution - he needs help. He needs a group of trusted people to fight back, and so begins the Order of the Phoenix. Slowly but surely these young witches and wizards will be trained to fight and protect themselves.

Where does your path lie?

Could I have stopped this? Was there any point in this madness that I could have stepped in and done something to change the course, or was this meant to be?

Could I have intervened, when my father was holing himself up in his study for days - weeks - at a time? Could I have changed things then? When I saw he and Danni were getting too close, would he have listened to me? Would it have changed things even then?

Should I have stepped in when I saw what Danni was after, and when I saw where my father's madness was leading him? When the mages began to disappear? When would have been a good time for me to do more than pray to the Elder gods?

I don't know that I could have done anything, but at least I could have tried.

My father is gone. He's been gone for nearly two years. I have read his notes, deciphering what I could, but it is enough. There are nine stones that can rift holes in the world. I suppose when you've gone insane it doesn't do to think small. Nine stones. Nine stones that could be anywhere, be in anyone's hands. I do not think Danni has any of them (or if he has them, he cannot use them).

So why do I start this journal now? Why not two years ago, when he first vanished, or two years before that when I realized he was working with magic more powerful than he had any right to be holding?

Because yesterday I was approached by a horse who could speak to me. I don't mean he flapped his lips and snorted ... I mean I heard him inside my head. His name is Carion, and he has a quest.

I suppose this is the way the Elder gods answer the prayers of the devout - or choose to rectify the mistakes of the mad. I won't pretend to understand, and a great deal of this baffles me, but Carion is to find the stones. He believes he has at least one human companion, and tomorrow we'll set out to find him. Or her, I suppose.

From what Carion has told me so far, the stones have been scattered. He can feel them pulling him in several different directions, some closer than others, some stronger than others. He believes they must be destroyed, and I am inclined to agree with that sentiment. However, until we find his human companion - he calls him the Chosen - then he will be unable to proceed.

After all, how many jewelers will sell to a horse? And how many horses can mine or reserve themselves a stall at an inn?

I do not know precisely what part I play in this. Carion seems to think that I shall be the brains of the operation as it were, the organizer. The one to utilize the connections we've built since the decree against Magic thrust us all underground. Oh, how do I get trapped into these things?

1:58AM - Exodus












"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches...born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies...and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not...and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survive..."-The Prophecy

Our story begins as 1980 dies, as the final year of the first war against Voldemort is underway. Lord Voldemort and his followers strike fear into the hearts of all. Giants and werewolves serve the Dark Lord, doing his bidding. The Death Eaters roam free, killing Mudbloods, Muggles, and Blood Traitors as they please. Hundreds have died and disappeared. As each day passes, the resistance grows weaker. Voldemort seems to be invincible and all hope is lost.

That is until a Prophecy was made; a child with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies to those who have thrice defied him and with a power that the Dark Lord will not understand. This child would bring an end to Voldemort’s reign. And so the Dark Lord set out to kill this child before he can grow into a threat.

The problem lay in discovering the child, for two couples who had twice defied the Dark Lord were expecting children, both due in July. In order to seek the answer, Lord Voldemort kidnapped the Unspeakable assigned to the Prophecy, assuming that there he would find the truth, but the Dark Lord did not expect Marlene McKinnon to be brave enough to deceive him.

How could a child born to either the Potters or the Longbottoms be the supposed Prophecy child when their parents had only defied him twice? And the probability of them doing it a third time was inconceivable, who would be foolish enough to defy the Dark Lord that many times? She insisted that a wizard as great as he was, was foolish to waste his time on the silly words of a false seer; she believed the prophecy was false.

With that lie, the children remained momentarily safe with their parents none the wiser to the fate that potentially awaited their children. Until the night of the Autumn Equinox; Halloween, 1980, when Lily and James Potter will once again defy the Dark Lord Voldemort and make the Prophecy a reality.

Now the Dark Lord hunts for the couple and their son, his focus distracted from his original goal of ridding the world of those whom he found to be unworthy; all that matters now was his immortality. This leaves room for the resistance to grow stronger. And just as it seems that there is no hope for the Potters to come out of this alive, Alice and Frank Longbottom thrice defy Voldemort, sending them into hiding as well.

The fate of the Wizarding World lies in the hands of two small infants and a group of vigilantes working for Dumbledore. How can they stand a chance against Voldemort and all of his forces?
It’s time to find out.

Exodus is a canon compliant RPG set in the Era of the Marauders, which follows the lives of James and Lily Potter, Frank and Alice Longbottom, the Order of the Phoenix, the Dark Lord Voldemort, and his Death Eaters during the final year of the war. The end of this story is well known, but how they get there is all up to you.

Game play begins Halloween, 2009 and ends November 01, 2010.

Do you have what it takes to fight this war and survive? If you’re brave enough to find out, then apply and we’ll see you on the battlefield.

Most Wanted: Bones Family, Alecto & Amycus Carrow, Barty Crouch Jr., Fenrir Greyback, Rabastan & Rodolphus Lestrange, Frank Longbottom, Xenophilius Lovegood, Prewett twins, Peter Pettigrew, Arthur & Molly Weasley, Order Members, Death Eaters, and many others!

8:13PM - still active, come play with us!


The Kingdom of Frell is at peace.

Though the so-called Golden Age of King Char and Queen Ella is long over- so long ago now that few are still alive who can remember it- life continues on much as it ever did. Merchants travel the lands far and wide, finding new and exotic goods to bring back to Greenville, the town just outside the royal palace. Greenville's markets are thriving, and most of the town's inhabitants pay little mind to the castle looming in the distance.

That is, of course, until The Gray Death appears. There is no known cure. Sufferers initially feel very weak, and are soon not even able to get out of bed. Overcome by fever, their complexions turn gray and they die. Still, Greenville believes it is safe- there are just rumors of the illness, and being so close to the castle, they're safe, right?


Wrong.

The illness knows no boundaries, a fact that is brought starkly to light when the King of Frell contracts the disease and dies a short time later. The King leaves behind a land in limbo- his wife, the Queen, is trying her level best to keep power from the hands of their immature son. Heroes search for a cure, trying to avenge their fallen King. Life in Greenville continues on, if a bit more cautiously. Life in the court, however, is marked by ambition and intrigue. Courtiers' motives are far from pure, and ambitions are on the rise. No one is sure who will emerge victorious.

Happily ever after was never a guarantee.

Fair is an original character role playing game inspired by Ella Enchanted, Fairest, and The Two Princesses of Bamarre by Gail Carson Levine. The game takes place in the world created by those books, but no canon knowledge is required or expected. All fantasy characters welcomed!

Solemnly Sworn
A Dark Marauder Era RPG

1978 ...

No one is safe.


Frequent attacks and disappearances have rippled through the Wizarding World with no clear connection or reason. Scholars, children and Ministry officials are being picked off at random leaving fear in the wake of destruction and death as Lord Voldemort ascends to power. The Ministry is hard pressed to end the struggle as Death-Eaters watch their every internal move so closely that resistance is nearly futile.

The world is dividing, and there is little way of escaping it as loyalties shift beneath the feet of the innocent.

But life goes on amidst the atrocities; people fall in love, get married and try to adapt to a world of war. In the shadows there are some who would fight back. The Order of the Phoenix is hardly more than a fleeting thought of revolution, but as Death-Eaters gain influence amongst the fragile minds within the castle, students have begun taking the fight into their own hands.

Which side will you choose, and who will succeed?


Solemnly Sworn finds the Wizarding world in the summer of 1978 following a canon timeline with limited allowances for crack plot. In the last lingering days before Welcoming Feast the Marauders prepare to begin their 7th year in the midst of a progressing war.

We're an open, friendly community with devoted moderators seeking an easy going atmosphere with emphasis on character development and player-generated plot.

Set to open at the fulfillment of 10 characters.
