Genre: Fantasy/Horror/Supernatural
Difficulty: Anything, really.
Type(s) of Creature(s): I'd like to see the usual contemporary fantasy races-humans, magic-users, vampirers, shapeshifters, but some original ones based in folklore might be fun.
Preferred Rating: At least PG-13 or higher
Preferred Number of Members/Activity: I'd prefer a smaller site. Not too many members, preferrably under twenty. I will make exceptions, but you'll have to convince me.
Preferred Time where RPG is set in: I'd prefer this to be set in the modern time period. I might do something historical, so if you feel like trying to put that up, I'll take a looksie.

Other Notes:

I'm looking for something other than the usual "secret magic world" or "secret war going on" sort of RPGs. I'd like to see an original backstory in that perspective, perhaps even a world where magic is accepted? I don't want a vampire/hunter/werewolf site, but rather something with an original storyline that's interesting. And nothing with just "vampires and humans". I want more than one supernatural race out there. One of the biggest things I'm looking for is friendly membership. I really dislike sites where people who sign up have to almost practically yell for a thread. Anywho, cheers. :)

P.S. I will look at canon sites(No Stephenie Meyer or Harry Potter. Personal preference), but they have to have interesting original plots, either as continuations of the series or as spingoffs.

While there's some grey area when it comes to your criteria and HTM, I think we manage to fit most of what you're asking for. We are a small game with 13 players. Ordinarily the game is fairly active, but August has been a busy month for most of our players and there has been significant slow-down. With that in mind, we do have werewolves and we will have vampires. But there is also a lot more to be had, as well. Our primary emphasis is on the lycanthropes of the games (wolves, rats, hyenas and leopards, specifically, with the occasional oddball type), but we also have standard non-infection shapeshifters via curses and the like. There are humans, witches, a variety of psychics and animators who are capable of raising zombies (usually for a profit). It is, IMO, a fun world with a lot of potential.

Right now we are mid-way through a storyline which will be introducing vampires as PCs into the game and throwing the "ruling class" into complete disarray. The game is contemporary and to err on the side of caution we throw out a R rating. In this world, there is no secret world to speak of. The weird and the bizarre are legal citizens in the U.S., and so there are nuances to things and ramifications that both players and characters need to consider. It leads to a lot of potential for not just large storylines, but smaller more character-driven ones.

As for friendly, we've got you there. We love our members. With a stick on occasion, but more often than not we're clamoring all over ourselves to get people involved rather than having folks have to beg for RP opportunities. So long as you're willing to give as much as we do, the world will be a happy place. :) I hope you'll check us out, but if we're not for you then I certainly hope you find the game that is.



Description: It's 2008 and vampires and lycanthropes alike are legalized citizens of the United States, recognized as more than monsters and endowed with their own rights. But that doesn't mean everything is okay.

New Orleans is slowly but surely recovering from Hurricane Katrina. A city known for chaos, it is finally getting back on its feet thanks in part to its were community. But that isn't to say it's safe.

Hounding The Moon focuses on a city that's been controlled by shapeshifters for the better part of a century. Things change, though. Discrimination is never far, and with it the possibility of the day-to-day world coming down on you. The threat of a takeover looms on the horizon -- the vampires want their city back -- and out there in the swamps, someone is watching, and waiting.

Requirements: Hounding The Moon is an 18+ game which is focused predominantly between instant messaging (AIM) and message board role-play. The primary character influence in-game are currently lycanthropes (prone to change as the story progresses), but we are also looking for people to play the human variety as well: normal folks, animators, witches, psychics, RPIT officers, etc.

We are not currently accepting applications for vampires, but that will change once the game gets off its feet and the game-wide storyline progresses.

We do have a few more than 20 members... Or at least characters.

Well you could try TNR: http://www.thenetherrealm.com/forum/

It is an original fantasy world where magic exists and in most places is accepted. We have an original history have the typical fantasy races you ask for plus some originals. We are very friendly, ask the new people, and we incorporate people into the world and into the site. We hate seeing anyone not get responses so the staff work hard with members to keep plots ticking along. :D We also have some VERY good writers. Seriously, these people should be published and no doubt will be in the coming years.

We have a wiki and various skins to aid navigation, so come and check us out and if you are curious say hi in the chatbox. :D

The Starbuck Institution for the Gifted

And yes, we actually DO serve coffee here...

At first glance it looks like we have over 20 members, and we do, but more than half of them are people who registered, posted maybe two things at the most, then dropped off the face of the planet. We have, at the most, maybe five active people.

We're also trying our best to be receptive of new members, even if we don't look it because it's the same two or three people in every thread. This is, unfortunately, the only activity we get and we're working very hard on fixing that. Either way, we have a few threads that haven't yet taken off or haven't been posted in yet that we're waiting on new members for.

I do believe Obsidian Rain fits your critera to an extent so feel free to have a look around. If you have any questions you can ask them here or in our shoutbox.

Tapestry: I wish I could, but I'm not eligible to join until October. :) Sorry.

Iulia, I looked at your site...I'm honestly just not impressed. I said I didn't want a were/vampire/hunter RPG, and from what I've read that's exactly what it is. Really, good show, boy.

NR staff, cool site. But I'm not looking for medieval right now, really. Not my style too much.

Garelock, sorry, but I'm not looking for a mutant/gifted site.

Cosmos, I'm sort of looking for something set on Earth right now. Best of luck.

Well, you said Horror/Supernatural, so what's scarier than a notebook that can kill you?

DeathNotes are notebooks dropped on earth by Death Gods (Shinigami) and picked up by humans, who can then write names in the DeathNote and kill anyone whose name and face they know, just by writing the name.

We're brand new, and so you can be one of the founding members to get the site off the ground! We are fairly relaxed, but we do want posting, hopefully 2-3 times a week at minimum. We're a PG-15 site, we allow swearing but anything sexual is kept in PMs and is not allowed on the board.

Japan. The Year is 2008. Deaths have been occuring left and right, all of them criminals that deserved death, all of them judged by a being known as 'Kira'...

Only...surprisingly....Kira is NOT Yagami Light.

This is an AU DeathNote RPG, with a few similar aspects.

The canons are all there. But Light never picked up a DeathNote. Ryuk, therefore, has never followed Light around, and Misa is therefore not in love with Light, in fact, she has never met him. L is the main investigator, along with a childhood friend, Yagami Light, now untouched and pure, thanks to non-exposure to the DeathNote. Shinigami are dropping a second copy of their DeathNotes all over the earth, and more humans are picking them up, and killing whomever they deem deserving of death.


Imagine....Power that is unimaginable...at your fingertips lies the ability to kill anyone you hate.


Will YOU be corrupted...by the DeathNote?

We have rules that forbid people with DeathNotes from using them on members without that member's permission, and people are allowed and encouraged to give out false names. Since we're AU, you don't have to know all about the series to jump in, all you have to do is make up an OC and have fun!

Hope to see you soon!

Maybe you could try us out.. we're a Supernatural site, based off of the TV series, but we're happy for anyone to join who may have an interest in our basic storyline, etc.

THEN

As colourful figures dance across a tiny television, Sam and Dean Winchester await their father's return. Pastor Jim's watching them for the week, while Daddy and Uncle Bobby go hunt all those bumps in the night. The Winchester boys never knew what their Daddy's actions would cost them in the future. Nobody did.

A demon, powerful and unmerciful is hoarded away... stored, so to speak. John and Bobby made a grave error in locking up Ouza. Little did they know that locking away such a hideous evil would bring on the fury of a demon scorned. Tezcatlipoca.

NOW

Sam and Dean are on their own in the world, with the usual help from Bobby, and others along the way... then things start to go wrong. Well, more than usual. As people start to die [more], they find themselves facing many new characters, and still fighting for Dean's way out of his impending trip to Hell.

New friends and foes play a major part for the boys, as a new war comes along... will the boys survive Tezcatlipoca's vengeance?

Curses. Foiled again by legality. :) Thanks for looking anyway, Craz. I hope you'll consider us when, y'know, you're of age. :D And good luck regardless!

You might want to try Vampire Academy. We are based around a college environment, and as well as vampires we accept all different kinds of creatures. We are pg-15, i'm don't mind what you post, no minimum, just nothing too graphic. What you want to play and you character are up to you.

We have 30 members, but some members have more than one character, as you need a new account for each character. I am currently checking through members, so may have less because some have been inactive for a while.

We have new posts almost every day, and there is always someone wanting to RP with you. Modern time period, no plot at the moment. If you want something to happen, I'm open to suggestions.

Take a look, I'm Draco Darkblood on the site, if you have any questions please let me know.

Vampire Academy

You should check us out at SoN. We're a modern horror game, fairly free-form with player driven stories and a character oriented system. There are countless character possibilities and I always try to let players bring in their own ideas if nothing on the lists suits them.

But we've definitely got plenty of critters! xD

Ok as of now the world is secret, but I mean by the way things started out who knows how long that will last. I mean think of the prospect of playing just as the secret comes out. That time that's always written out in the plot that made the game what it is, now's your chance to make it what it'll be. Will it be accepted right away, will it be a struggle and if so, who wins? So there's that, I just wanted to get that out the way before you go a thinking its the same old same old.

Oh and our community is rather small, seven members in all but we're just starting out. We're all friendly if not a little too friendly... and weird... mostly weird =P speaking of which check out my evil laugh =}D.. note the killer evil mustache... <.< >.> uh....

Ok sooo there's no Vampire our werewolves per say, but there are witches which all have unique powers and are sometimes sought to explain the mysteries of these creatures. For example perhaps a witch has the ability to drain life force threw a kiss and it just so happened to like to use the neck, well that's where the vampire myth came form... Or or a witch with the power to take on the form of a dog like creature like for instance a wolf or dingo then boom you have ur werewolf myth... I'm like myth busters over here dang... Anyway you get where I'm getting at, we're friendly, we're flexible, and we have a cool plot in need of great rpers therefore I offer you Project: Salem.

Set in the near future, Project: Salem is a modern day witch hunt. Rated N.C. 17 for the big kids in us, I think this might be what you're looking for.

To whom it may concern,

However I'm not sure whom would be to concern with the ramblings of this old man any longer. But I still sit and write, I suppose we all want our story's told one way or another, for a man with no family I assume this type of letter is the obvious choice... Choices, the ones we have and the ones we do not, isn't that how these stories always being. For me, a man of my position, to speak of such explanations as the god or the devil is out of the question. However I have no choice for that is the only way I can even begin to phantom what I've witnessed during my time with Salem.

How that word brings back memories, ones not even this old corpse can forget. They told me I couldn't speak of it, S.a.l.e.m., the "Secret Association in League towards the Exploration of Magic." That was our official title but I'm no longer sure if I can believe even that anymore. Is what we were doing really exploration? The more I think about it the less I can accept it. No, I've always known somewhere, deep down, that wasn't exploration, it was extermination.

Oh god how many have I killed? How stained are these hands, that fumble to write these lines, in blood? It sickens me, just the thought of the pain I've caused, and the horror of her face keeps me from my sleep: hunting my nightmares. Its gotten so hard to even shut my eyes, that face, that face of an angle and a demon torturing me. Damned hand, stop your accursed shaking how many times will you force me to write this letter. Let me continue before I lose what little nerve I have left.

You may find this next part hard to believe, even after what I've witness I still have troubles believing. Enough with the run around, I've always been a direct man, that's how Ive lived my life, there's no reason to change now. Salem was created with the sole priority to hunt and capture witches. After they were caught they were taken back to our labs where they were probed, prodded, and experiment upon until ultimately there was nothing left to test: at which then they were disposed of permanently.

Then I believe what I was doing was protecting my country like any good soldier, and believe me I was damn good. You see I say was because; a good soldier never questions his superiors, he carries out his orders without hesitation and most importantly he keeps his country's secrets to himself: yes I was damn good once upon a time. But after what I've seen, at the end of my life I've begun to doubt what is most important. Is it being a good soldier, or a good human. I know I'm going to hell for the sins I've committed, there's no doubt about that, so this letter isn't the redemption of my soul but a plea for the rest of the ones I've destroyed.

I can't name them all, hell I can't even count them all, the live I've ended. But one, it stands out, I wish it didn't for it hunts me so, but it stands out. Her name I do know, Anisette Marie, I made sure they spelled it right on her tombstone. Beautiful girl with the saddest eyes I've ever seen. I suppose anyone's would be so sad witnessing there parents murdered before them. She was but a mere child and yet she still stood up to her parents' killers and in front of those monsters she summoned what little power she had to keep us away from their lifeless bodies.

I reacted like a soldier, like I was train to when facing a threat. No matter how big or small you crush it. I remember her name, I remember her face, I remember the weight of her lifeless body in my arms. She bleed the same blood, she cried the same tears, as did her parents. And from that day on I was no longer a good soldier. I questioned, I disobeyed, and now, on this tear stained pad I'm telling the secret: to whomever will listen. Here is my secret, here is my country's secret. I still felt heart beat...

I sincerely wish I hadn't,

Sergeant Major, James T. Fields

Imagine yourself a detective, you stumble upon a scene of an decorated officer in front of you, and a little over here and a some more over there on the wall. He no longer looks familiar but the name still rings clear, how couldn't it its been everywhere in the news. This years metal of honor recipient put a bullet threw his head a day after accepting the damned thing, how the news'll love to get a hold of this story. Sometimes they can just make you so sick you need a ci... right, right no smoking in the crime scene.

As you put that rectangular box of heaven back in you nameless officer one hands you the blood soaked letter in a plastic bag. Great your job just got tougher, "James T. Fields is a national hero... he will be missed dearly... the cause of death was accidental... a gun malfunction..." Gah who would believe that, a decorated soldier accidentally shoots himself in the face while cleaning his firearm. And this letter just put the final nail in the coffin, although you're sure that the higher up's will make this disappear too, they already have there story so why are you here. Well to keep up appearances no doubt. You have that promotion coming up and you'd hate to be passed by again, right?

So you do like a good little flunky should; you keep your mouth shut, when they call the press conference you stand there as the detective heading up the case, you give you sincerest condolences for the loss, and you rule the case as an accident and close it. That's what you'd do right? That's what Detective Avery Nickolas did, or was suppose to do. Stepping up to the podium he clear his trough repeating his sincerest condolences for the loss when his chief by his side nodding in agreement. Just the sight made Avery's stomach turn into knots so when it came time for the ruling he paused before delivering the phase that lunched a news frenzy.

"Ahem, James T. Fields was and is a national hero who's unexpected death affect the lives of many... he will be missed dearly. As of now the cause of death will be ruled as an accidental... gun malfunction.... However during the course of the investigating there was a discovery of possible evidence to a different crime. That is all the information we have until further investigation, any questions please addressed to the chief. Thank you."

So you want things that go bump in the night, this is the site you've been waiting for. We also have the level of activity you requested.


There is no war between lycanthropes and vampires. The were-folk do their best to avoid the night stalkers and the night stalkers do their best to keep out of pack affairs. While lycans rule the suburbs and vampires stalk the high crime end of town, they don’t mingle well. Their separation also allows them to remain hidden- hidden from the basic laws and physics of the one dimensional human world. That’s how everyone likes it and that's how it's meant to stay.

Atleast, mostly everyone. A modern Sherlock Holmes, John Alden is known for solving cold cases and puzzling crimes. It was only a matter of time before the missing persons, maulings, and murders would unearth timeless mysteries. John Alden has uncovered the world’s best kept secret and there’s a legion of supernatural beings that will stop at nothing to keep it that way.

John knows that no one would believe that vampires and lycanthropes exist, let alone commit crimes and murders. He also knows that these supernatural beings could never be incarcerated. But he could deal out his own justice, with help of course. The kind of help from docile lycanthropes and a few vicious vampires, has brought many to justice. Only those who have managed to remain secluded and unpunished are the witches. Their conniving and secretive ways remain a mystery to all, save for a select few who have gained enough trust to dive into their corrupted world.

The witches have remained unscathed in the dangerous city of Aldenville. Until recently. A strange case that was assigned to John Alden would just look like an ordinary woman attacked by a vicious dog while out for a jog to anyone else. But John’s knows better. He needs help to figure out why anyone would want to commit the first witch assassination in years. He needs to find it out fast before the witches turn on the lycanthropes. He needs to find it out before his whole city goes to hell.

Will you be brought to justice, or will you be the harbinger? Or… will you just go on through life without knowing about the supernaturals that live amongst you and others like you? You can only ignore it for so long. Even a young child notices when things go Bump in the Night.


At Bump in the night, there is all sorts of possibilities for plots- from joining in the new order, to taking various high-level positions that remain open, the possibilities are endless. Positions open include Coven leader, Witch Council positions, Pack positions.

We're mildly slow moving right now, but with the devotion of the members already on site, things are definitely looking to pick up. Join in now to get the positions that are going fast!

In the mists of time, long before Saetan was called to make his legend in the realms, wearing the darkest of jewels, the Black. Long before he used that power to rub the entire territory of Zuulman out of existence. Long before the coming of the most powerful witch to walk the realms. The dark weaving of Mother Night calls you from the comfort of the Darkness to bring you forth into a world of light and conflict.

In the glaring Light you see edges and differences that had no meaning in the Darkness, differences in race and social status, leading to conflict with ones self, your neighbors, sometimes all the world. You have been born into a world where violent emotions of hate, fear, jealousy and anger, especially anger, can erupt for the smallest offense.

You are Blood. Mother Night has given you more, a caste and the ability to wear a jewel. Your caste and jewel are yet more means to differentiate you from your peers and bring more hate, jealousy and delicious anger. Yes delicious anger, for your jewel can channel your anger into power, power to strike your enemies and power to frighten your friends. It is indiscriminate, cold, and dark, the darker the more powerful and frightening.

Simply by being Blood you are dangerous to all around you, everyone sensitive to the chill in the air that announces one of the Blood tapping into the dark depths of their jewel. It is the calm, cold, still moment before all that anger and dark power erupts upon the world in dark violence destroying all that are not protected by the power of an even darker jewel. There is no jewel darker than the Black. When Blood wearing Black go cold all you can do is summon your courage. There is no place you can run to, no one to whom you can pray. You have to summon the courage to take the anger that fuels the Black away, to lead the Blood gone cold from the killing edge.

It can't be all anger, hate and conflict that the Light offers, for Mother Night could not be so cruel to call you to a world so harsh as to offer only pain. The jewels gifted to the blood respond to, enhance and violently manifest all emotions not just the destructive ones. Blood will sing to Blood, jewels will sing to jewels, lords will sing to witches and Princes will sing to Queens, the darker the Blood and the jewels the more violent the passion and the more beautiful the song.

What will be your song? Will be a song of pain full of the wild notes of war, conflict and death? Will it be a song of celebration strong enough to stir the ancient hearts of the dragons still rumored to live in the realms, thanking them for the gifts they bestowed to the Blood? Will it be a song of sorrow, a keening howl or mournful dirge, deep and dark enough to blunt the edges and ease the anger? Will your song call to all the Blood of the ages resonant with a violent joyful power, transformative to all it touches and born from the deepest love?

Somewhere a weaver of dark webs calls the silken strands of joy, pain, sorrow and celebration left in your passing and the passing of all the Blood. Black strands of the darkest power fitted one to the other into the darkest web, forming the shape of a dream, and one day that dream will be made flesh, calling Witch to the realms.

Welcome into the world. Welcome to the Darkest Web.



The Darkest Web is a mature, advanced role-playing board based off of Anne Bishop’s Black Jewel Trilogy. In a time of blood and tribulation, we are forging our own tales about the men and women that make up the Blood Race.

The Darkest Web has been an active board for two years now, and we plan on being around for many more to come. We have wonderful administration team and very active players. We are always looking for new players and new ideas. We would love to have you.
