Genre: Pretty much anything! Throw them all at me and I'll let you know what I'm looking for.
Difficulty: Again, anything! Just... I don't want a board full of beginners. My posts average about 500-600 but I can go as high as 1400 words. Anything less than 200 and my muse is gone.
Type(s) of Creature(s): Let your freak flag wave! I'll take anything
Preferred Rating: Again, I really don't care, I can play any rating.
Preferred Number of Members/Activity: Here's where it gets tricky. I don't want a million MEMBERS but you can have a millions CHARACTERS. People just better be uber friendly there.
Preferred Time where RPG is set in: Nothing too far in the future or too far in the past.

Other Notes: so, here's the deal! i want a new board, i'm just not sure what i'm looking for. there are, however, a few things that i know that i don't want!

-> ANYTHING OTHER THAN INVISIONFREE. i know, it's horrible but whatever.
-> CANONS THAT HAVE FACES. seriously, limit creativity, much?
-> CANON ONLY BOARDS. if you've got a canon only board, you better have some darn good canons.

DO NOT JUST POST A LINK! sell me the board. tell my why i should join, tell me about what you love about it, about the community, etc. then link me. i'm less likely to join a board if i just get the plot and link.

so yeah, i think that's about it. i'll edit it if i think of something.

I think you might love Meliora. Really. XD It's a classic fantasy RP based in a fictional land with technology similar to that of the medieval period (hopefully that isn't something you're against). Meliora (the setting of the game) is a land governed by both royalty and divinity, leading to all sorts of conflict and one of our site-wide plots. There's also a secret mages' guild that's going to be causing some waves. ;) There's a great list of various playable races, some of which have the potential to be infected with vampirism (not in the traditional sense, and they're quite rare). There are also a bunch of sub-cultures to explore and a lot of powerful positions to consider (mage, priest/priestess, etc.). Basically, you're just free to be creative and there are lots of opportunities to get involved.

The rating's PG-13+, allowing for just about anything. Of course, threads with lots of mature content need to be labelled to make sure that the site remains friendly for people of different ages and beliefs. The word minimum (not strictly enforced, but we warn members that aren't close) is actually 200 words, which should benefit you as any less tends to kill your muse. ;) We consider our level of writing intermediate+ so we can provide a quality RPing experience. The detail of the game and availability of power makes standards important to Meliora.

However, the community is extremely friendly and quite relaxed. My main goal (along with the other two admins) is to provide a quality RP experience that people can have fun with. The site isn't run like some sort of stuffy military group. New members receive personal welcome messages, and I work with people a LOT to develop their characters and incorporate their ideas into the game. My inbox is always open, and I'm extremely active, so I can at least promise that you'll always be able (and welcome) to contact me for any reason.

As for your three major dont's, Meliora doesn't have any of them. ;) We're hosted on invisionfree, the game is original fiction, and our "canons" have very few specified details. Only two of them have suggested play-bys. . .and they're twins. XD

I've been playing at Meliora since 2005, and I've loved every minute of it. Even when it nearly died, I stuck around and I eventually decided to take over management and restore it. Since that time, the place has evolved tremendously and people seem to be really excited about the game. If you're someone that likes fantasy and the freedom to be creative, you'll probably REALLY enjoy Meliora.

DO NOT JUST POST A LINK! sell me the board. tell my why i should join, tell me about what you love about it, about the community, etc. then link me. i'm less likely to join a board if i just get the plot and link.


Ok I have two that I'm trying to sell to you. :lol:

The first board is called Island of Fallen Saints. Its a Witch, Werewolf, Vampire and Human RP set in present time, just a few months ahead, actually we are starting December. Its been open since December 07 and is very active right now. We are a friendly community always looking to RP with new members. We do have a few "canons" but mostly our cannons consist of powers and beign grouped into familes. Most of our members are intermediate posters, if not all of them. We are a PG-13 board and at the moment we have a lot of drama going on, mostly love triangles but the threat of an all out war is possible as a few of our characters have started attacking others. I think you should join because its a fun site, tides can turn every which way. I love it cause there is always someone on, there are lots of topics to respond too and the members are really friendly. Hope to see you there :)


Ok my next site is really new, actually its only been open a few weeks. I know I know everyone hates HP by now but hear me out. The site is called The Dark Times Upon Us. Its a post book 7 RP. Hogwarts has been destroyed, so there is no school in this RP. The characters are all adults at least for now and we have a few canons open but are also accepting originals. It is an intermediate site, PG-13. So far the community is small but awesome, sorry I love those guys :pink: I love the ideas we have for it and hope that it gets off the ground.


Thanks for reading :)

I think you might really enjoy this board. There are no face claims to cannons so if you like a cannon we have listed you can take it and use a face that you think fits them. There are 3 other friendly admins willing to help you out. We're just starting as of now its only been open for a little under a week or two. The sites going to be awesome and i havent seen many sites out there like this infact i havent seen any.

You can give us a shot! Our word average is similar to yours. We're also very friendly and very welcoming :) We have plenty of people around so there are always RPing opportunities.

I have one for you since you're pretty open on what you're looking for. We're a vampire RPG but humans are a very popular choice as well. It's easy to play a human who lives in NYC and never even get into the vampire side of our tale, but where you take your character is entirely up to you. We love unique characters and have a great amount of gender diversity in our characters. We love new members and everyone is really friendly. This is the first site I've ever had where it was totally drama free.

We don't have a MILLION members but a good 15 of them are on daily and the really active ones each have around 4-6 characters, because they just can't get enough! Our standard for word count is 400+ words. Hope you like us and thanks for takin' a look ( if you do ;) ).

I wish you the best of luck in your search!

Deep in the heart of NYC, amongst the high-end shops and ritzy museums lies a secret hundreds of years in the making. The rich and powerful are not as they seem. In fact they are from an ancient lineage, that of the Blue Bloods.
They are vampires who's memories have been preserved through their past lives, making them extremely smart, strong, and lethal. They have more power than you can imagine... but something is hunting them. The Croatans, vampires that feed on others of their kind, hide in the shadows and for now it seems Blue Bloods no longer hold rank at the top of the food chain.

THIS IS THE BEST TIME OF YOUR LIFE !
THIS IS HELL.

9:00AM 01 SEPTEMBER 2008
regency park high opens it’s doors to the new year.

9:20AM 01 SEPTEMBER 2008
regency park’s fire alarm sounds and the school is evacuated.

9:30AM 01 SEPTEMBER 2008
in just ten minutes the school is burnt to the ground with over
ten students missing inside the main building.

10:30AM 01 SEPTEMBER 2008
the parents arrive to take their ‘little darlings’ on home away
from the wreckage that was once the most prestigious and only
private school in charleston, south carolina.

9:00AM 07 SEPTEMBER 2008
unable to find anywhere else for the student body to finish their
education regency park’s four hundred or so population is shipped
off to the only other place in the town; charleston’s public high.

Have you ever walked into school in the morning knowing that
you’re one of the most hated people in the building? Have you
had your whole class ignore you because your father employs all
of theirs? The kids of Regency Park have. The difference between
them and you? They don’t care.

Raised as Charleston’s elite the rich bitches and spoilt brats of
Regency Park were brought up knowing they were better
than anyone else. They can wave their money at a problem and
it goes away; since birth they’ve never had to worry about a thing.
Now it’s all changed. Now they’re at public school and no one
here plays by the rules.

It seems like forever that the little Princes and Princesses from
Regency Park High have been lording it over you and your school.
They’ve strutted down the street, their families getting richer off
your family’s poverty. Apparently people couldn’t take it anymore.
Apparently somebody burnt down their school. And now they’re
here. Ready for you to take your revenge.

Everyone could take time to get to know each other like the principal
suggested; everyone could get along all happy and nice. And everyone
could have a fair chance at settling in.

But then it just wouldn’t be High School.
Would it?

THIS IS HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS IS WAR.

I WANTED TO BE YOU

Unfortunately, my board is not for sale ;) But I will attempt to put its best foot forward here in terms of tempting your interest.




The Fated is an intermediate-advanced board, so there's sort of a range of post length but definately no beginners or one liners. It's been my experience that, as long as you give the person you're rping with something good to work off of, you'll get a decent sized reply. I know several of our members post within your range of word count, so I think it would be a good fit for you in that respect.

We accent both canons and originals, so the board is wide open in terms of characters. We LOVE diversity. Different nationalities, ages, backgrounds, essentially characters from all walks of life. It really adds to the roleplay I feel, so as long as a character is Mary/Gary Sue they should be fine.

In terms of member count, we've hit a little low since a lot of players started school/college again for the fall, but i'm sure it'll bump back up again soon. We still have about 10-15 characters on per day.

The site plot is a pretty simple premise. It all begins with a plane full of strangers who otherwise probably wouldn't have met, and then they're thrown together when the plane crashed. On the most elemental level it's very character driven, about different people meeting and learning all about each other in a situation where they otherwise might never have spoken. There will also be some science fiction-ish stuff thrown in. Not robot/alien type stuff, but just sort of out-of-the-ordinary things and events that occur on the island during the course of the story.

So, all that being said, here's my list of draws:

The members - they're fantastic. It's a VERY friendly site, where the ooc community gets along really well, but also welcomes in new members with a smile. There aren't any cliques, like you see at some sites. The staff don't think they are better than regular members.

Diverse Characters - canon and original. we love having a variety of character types on our board. There are three different classifications of character you can create on the board: crash survivors, castaways from a previous crash, and a group called the Others who are of a very mysterious nature. Beyond that, we encourage characters of all ages, nationalities, and pasts. You can really get creative with your character. Our only limitation is that you keep it fairly realistic and not mary sue.

Quality of Writing - I'd say the quality of writing at TF is really good. Some rpers write longer posts than others, but it's about quality, not quantity. Generally, whatever effort you put into a post, you'll recieve in turn with the reply.

Non-confusing Plot - some plots are ridiculously complicated and hard to follow, with multiple sub plots that you have to keep track of two. You will not find that at TF. The main plot is pretty simple, and yet lends itself well to a good, character-driven story. Since the plot is progressive, members are kept up to date with the help of a very easy-to-follow timeline, and announcements from the admin when something big happens. We encourage our characters to come up with their own sub plots and character plots, and there's a really great opportunity for creativity.

Freedom for creativity - we've tried to keep the plot as open and unrestrictive as possible, so there's definately room for players to be creative and determine their own character plots.


That's all I can think of off the top of my head at this time of night. ;) Let me know if you have any questions! You can PM me here, or reach my at the admin account there or via cbox. Good luck!

Hi nadja!
Well, here is me telling about my board, Abydos. In the category of 'anything' we are an active, small community and the role plays are medieval fantasy. I'm not sure if that's too far in the past for you? We're super-friendly with an awesome community, but there is an application to join and we only accept 'advanced' members. Advanced by our standards means that someone has mature writing with lots of depth and detail. We don't have any canons and we don't limit our writers much at all - you can basically do anything you like within 'medieval fantasy'.

Ok, I'm pasting my schpeel below with my board description and selling points! Please let me know if you would like more information or have any questions. Good luck! ^_^



The Abydos Quest is an advanced free-form role playing board for writers interested in cooperative fantasy storywriting. There is a short application (give us a writing sample by responding to an RP scenario). No word minimums, shops, canons, or restrictions - write the stories you want and make the characters you want. The provided fantasy 'world' is extremely large, so there's lots of space for you to be creative!

• Relatively new board, and small community
• Only advanced writers accepted. Core members average 700-1500 words/post or more, with good depth, detail, spelling, and grammar (less is fine, this is just an idea of what we're like).
• All stories are original - there are no set plots or canons. A world with geography has been established for your use, you can create what you will within that.
• The setting is fantasy - medieval with magic, dragons, knights, etc. Other races/species ok as long as they incorporate into the setting.
• Most content is PG/PG-13, but there are no word filters.
• Friendly, active staff who know how to run an RP board.
• Click here to check us out!

ad under construction.

roleplayrefuge has no set... anything, save that it is pg=13. we cover every genre, allow any conceivable being (heck, bring us a wet rock and if you can figure out how, you can play it) we're fairly small but have a large number of characters and threads. link in signature.

omg! you guys are so amazing for replying! now, let's start from the top, shall we?

meloriaadmin the site really is amazing. i was once a member but it just didn't work out for me. i thought i could really get into it but there were complications. you guys have done an amazing job with that board, though. seriously, i hope all of the best for you guys and the board because it needs to be out there, i just don't think it's for me.

shadowangel as for the first board, IoFS looks interesting and i've bookmarked it but i'm wondering if it might be too simplistic for me. maybe i just wasn't looking at the right threads but they seem to be a bit small. however, i have bookmarked it and will be coming back to it. as for your HP site, -facedesk- i haven't finished DH yet so i really try to avoid those.

zuca1988 as with IoFS, i've bookmarked the site. it's interesting but i'm not sure if it's what i'm looking for. i've already got a school board and another board where i've got characters in high school... i'll have to get back to you on that.

sunni i'm a little iffy on the board. i'm just not sure about it. there's just something that kind of makes me go 'meh'.

bluebloods i've seen the site several times but my problem is that i'm too picky about vampire boards for words. after running my own and creating my own vampire world, it's hard to view a vampire in any other term... thank you, though.

matches lol omg, you're amazing. THAT is how you sell a board! again, i don't know about another high school board but it's a possibility so i'm not even thinking about saying no just yet. especially with a pitch like that XD

castaway unfortunately, i really can't stand the idea of lost. the show just got entirely too ridiculous for me and i could never get into it.

rièle the time frame is kind of stretching but the first board i was ever on was a medieval fantasy board and i've been wanting to find another board like that. the only real issue i would have is getting my head around one account posting multiple characters. i like the structure of each different personality having their own, separate account but i've bookmarked the site so don't give up on me yet.

rosalieart i've never really been one to take on a multi-genre board like that. i'll have to give it some thought and see if it's a challenge i want to take on.

thanks so much to everyone who has posted an ad and i'll get back to those that i've bookmarked on their sites, later on, if i have more questions!

i'm still accepting offers.

Well it's a bummer that we won't be seeing you 'round Melly, but thanks so much for the kind words! It really means a lot to me as I've put tons of effort into the site. Good luck with your search!

Hey there nadja,

The only problem I see with Mana4X2 is that we do have real face personas for the Canon character, however, it's a preference, not a rule. Anyways,we are a PG-13 rated, well over four year old, friendly community, currently on PART 2 of a plot that everyone is having soooo much fun with.

How can I personally tell? Because the majority of people are posting well over our 200 word limit, and two of the threads are 3-5 paqes long already. Our community prides itself in making any and all feel welcome, intergrating them into part of the family. So, check us out. Hope you like what you see.

If not, it's all good. Oh, and, even though there is a school in the X-Men universe, we have three other factions that are totally not school related.

:lol:
Mana

Ok, link first. :p

TNR: http://www.thenetherrealm.com/forum/

Now to the selling:

-We have an awesome world, original, creative, vast, and high and low fantasy.
-Our members are friendly, we love helping people.
-The writing is extremely good (we have several budding novelists and two members of staff have almost finished the first draft of their book!)
-We have a choice of skins, ranging from themes to navigation styles. The omni menus on the NR Classic are particularly helpful to new peoples. :D
-Our staff are amazing, if I don't say so myself. We really do try and help people in every way we can.
-The board is active, even during slumps we are active, and during peaks are uber active.
-We have a range of writing styles and post lengths, quite literally something for everyone.
-We have awesome races, some original to the world builders and members, and have an awesome wiki to read up on just about anything about the world. We don't ask that you know everything, but its there if you want to know it. :)
-We don't have hundreds of members but we do have members with multiple characters, and active staff and core membership. As is the nature of pbp RPG's people come and go, but we are constantly adding to our core membership.
-We seem to attract friendly types and the admins don't tolerate drama OOC or trolling or flaming. We have fun, we joke around but we don't have nastiness. Seriously, its just not tolerated.
-We have our own webspace, website, wiki and host and are on IPB, which is an awesome format we paid for.

-Finally, we are flexible, a community but also somewhere people can just post and go. We have OOC chatter but there is no pressure to join in, and we have an awesome plot section with a plot directory, archive directory, its super organised and awesome!



/endsell

:p

ok, thanks for taking a look at us at any rate. :)

Hi there nadja! I think Fairytale Nightmares could be what you're looking for. Why? Well...

+ We're an intermediate level board with a small member base (having been open for only a week so far) of friendly, fun and inventive people. The single admin is helpful and friendly and takes your suggestions on board.

+ You're allowed (at the moment) two characters per RPer, but if we get more interest and as the board grows we're willing to open this up to more parts; I myself have two characters already and, no, they're not the main characters. ;)

+ We have a small canon list but the PBs listed in their light biographies are subject to change at the RPers discretion. And if none of our canons appeal to you? Well, the option is always open to play an original character!

Now, I'm probably a bit biased because I am the admin, but I think with a dedicated and semi-active member base, Fairytale Nightmares has the potential to be a great, long-lasting and exciting RP. It's an original idea so there should be no limit to your creativity.

And now for the clincher: the advert. Any questions? You can PM me here or ask away on the C-Box on site!

---

Alright, so! I don't know if you're looking for a human rpg or if you'd be into this, but 'Souls is definitely worth a look.

We're somewhere around intermediate-advanced, but we go for quality over quantity. And we're all there to have fun, so no one's going to nag if you make a 200-word post.

It's set in Nova Scotia, Canada, in a post-apocalyptic alternate timeline. Humans are dead and werecanines are the playable species. Werewolves and werecoyotes are the most prominent, but anything of the genus canis can shift into a were form. The umbrella term for a shifter is a Luperci, and every Luperci has the ability to use one of their three forms-- Lupus (wolf), Secui (halfling) and Optime (were).

We are on IPB 1.3.1, which is like IF, but with a lot more features, such as skins (we have 13 currently, 2 more on the way), and a lot of customization made possible by the IPB html templates.

Next, we do not have canons, period. We have open characters, but it's a bit different. No one is forced to play an open character-- they're there for people who'd like to have a character with familial relations and most likely be involved in a plot. The open characters are usually family members, and I've got three characters in need of players listed. A lot of people join with original characters, and every character is original-- open characters are not canons. O:

We have a lot to check out as well-- we have a website which has all the information on the game, rules, etc, a roleplaying guide which has all the information about the Luperci, and a Wiki, which we're still working on building up. It's a database for old characters and a way to organize our in character events, since we had nowhere else to put it. And we have a list of many members' inner pokémon. :]

We've got an awesome ooc community, with around 50 members, so we're not huge. We have 74 characters at the moment, but a lot of people like playing more than one character. c: So there are a lot of people and characters to plot with! Members don't just check up on their threads, but post frequently in the ooc discussions. We've got the traditional up, down, sideways games, which is at 132 pages (seriously, WHAT |: ) and we've had a lot of roleplaying discussion threads. The one about names slowly became a discussion about Animorphs, though.

We also have a lot of contests-- icon hunts, word filter games, and creation contests- we've got a contest going right now to create some new playable areas. :3

Anyways, I hope you take a look! 8D

Angels is an anthromorphic board, but it's just an all around well written board, we have a reasonable amount of members (we're still trying to get more, 'cause we're epic and greedy bastards), It takes place in a futuristic World that has very little land mass, and is mostly water.

I slaved over the Plot and Rules, the skin isn't amazing, but it's complete and dosen't hurt your eyes the members, we have now are excellent Rpers, with amazing characters, there's a lot of freedom within the dynamics of the world for you to play with.


I have to admit, there's lots of reading material to take in, but only the Story and Rules are required, we also offer a Map, Canon Characters ect. but none of that is necessary, only convenient if your low on muse and want to know more about the setting.

Here's our original advertisement, for more info:

oooh we could definitely be right for you ^^ we're hosted by Proboards. We're advanced, with a 400 word minimum. We're slowly getting a canon list put together. We're pretty new so we really need more members, but we do have lots of characters ^^ We're all UBER friendly, and the site is really fun ^^ take a look, it's worth a few minutes of your time ^_^

How about a Modern Horror setting?

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!

So you’re looking for a board, huh? Owen’s just might be your home! Currently, we’re kind of trying to coach a few new members into role playing so some topics are less than 200 words but I promise, there’s several members on the site who are MORE than capable of writing 500+ word posts (me being among them). Also, we’re new so the member base is small but it’s new and willing people like you who turn us into a steadily larger board.

Okay, down sides out of the way, here’s a bit about WHY you should join Owen’s.

• The admins have all been RPing together for a long time now, two of us for three+ years. We know each other’s writing and are all extremely close as well as experienced and friendly administrators.
• our members own, end of story. They’re so sweet and kind and we love them to pieces.
• We are super friendly here. It doesn’t seem that obvious in the c-box but there’s PMs flying around like you wouldn’t believe.
• This is a revival board so we know the plot and we know how to push a plot along so it’s guaranteed that the plot will move steadily in the proper direction.
• We have a ton of plans being tossed around, details being worked out, and final decisions being made about new happenings on the board such as teachers and classes, and monthly board-wide activities.
• You said no canons. Well, we don’t believe in canons either. The board’s entirely creative. Face claim isn’t required. It’s pretty much do what you wish. We just want you to join us.
• We don’t believe in member restrictions. You want a girl in art? GO FOR IT! We’re not one to stop you from creating the character you like. Yeah, even numbers look pretty but why restrict the creative juices flowing in a member’s head?
• We’re always looking for new members who love us just as much as we love new members to join us and keep us company! Delicious guesties are always welcomed on Owen’s.
• I’d type more (I could go on forever) but my lappy is going to die soon.

So yeah, that’s stuff about Owen’s that I love. Feel more than free to check us out. Again, don’t let the fact that we’re still quite obviously a baby board throw you off. Give it a poke around. We need new members to help it blossom into a big and awesome board!




At Boarding school...

You may want to try Asion. It's a small board with a dedicated member base.

Con: The background reading is pretty dense.

Pro: Your admins are walking encyclopedias of the world and prefer to be treated like ordinary members instead of enforcers. ;3

Our biggest selling point is the quality of the writing and the quality of the plot(s). I suggest reading the 'before you register' section first to see if we look like your kind of fun. I am coming up on my two-year anniversary with the board. The board, itself, is four years old.

As long as my coadmin and I are around, the dang thing isn't going to give up the ghost. XD

Look forward to hearing from you if you're interested -- link's in my sig.

Ok one thing, we have faced canons but I'm not married to them so yeah if you see someone you like but the face is wrong be all like heeeyyyy buddy, can I change so and so and I'll be all like NO! BOOWAHAHAHAHA!!!!... and then you hit me and do it anyway.
Note: My personality is in no way reflected in the actual board... although it should >.< So don't let me scare you away. End note....

So other than the faced canons thing we fit all your other requirement, a very difficult task I might add, but I'm good like that.
Note: Do you like me Yes or No, circle one. End note...
So back to the basics... Lets see, lets see uh... you can cuss? That's a plus right? *sigh* You see this is hard because we just opened so I can't go on about our members and track record and all that good stuff. All I can offer you is a chance to get in on the ground floor of an awesome plot that's sure to turn into an awesome rp. 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.

... Warning I'm about to post a long plot but personally I hate reading through these things to figure out what's going on so I'm also posting a synopsis. If you enjoy reading long plots then by all means skip the synopsis and read it. I think its quite good but I may be a little basis. And hey if you like the synopsis, read the plot anyway.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Spoiler Alert~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Synopsis: Salem is a secret military agency created to track down, capture witches. The main story revolves around a young witch capture by Salem and trained to hunt her own, the suicide of her former watcher, a Salem agent and national hero, a suicide letter telling all about the secret organization, and one miserable detective stuck between his job or revealing the truth.

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."

There are faced canons but originials are open and totally welcome.

So, to sell this game... This is the second version of what is probably my favorite RPG of all time. The plot was good, the characters were great, and the community really was that - a community. I met people on that site that I still play with now in other places; people that I talk to all the time. It promises to be a great site again so if you're interested, I recommned joining.

Despite being a hospital slash mental institute, the weight of death had never really dawned upon the staff of the Deliramenti Asylum until the passing of Dr. William Korsakov. Although the Seattle City Police Department had concluded his death as a tragic accident of natural causes (mainly old age), even the 'saner' staff of Deliramenti could not settle with such deductions. Because clearly, but Dr. Korsakov, like an old habit, was rather die hard. It was so strange and perhaps psychologically disturbing for the staff to have to accept that even men like him were simple human beings, like everybody else. His death had to be a suicide or a homicide. Either way, Korsakov could not have died like everybody else... Right? And so, the medical and psychological staff all pointed fingers at each other, blaming the other for the death of their employer. Friends stuck together, and if there ever were cliques within the Institute, then they had become more strongly defined in structure.

Of course, the other perhaps more 'normal' rumor buzzing about the lounging areas over the steam of scalding hot, insipid coffee was the matter of who would be the next head of this Institute? Of course, James Breckenridge's name was the first name that everybody popped out. He had worked alongside Korsakov the longest, and had successfully worked his way up to the ranks of being the head of the Male Ward. Between himself and Julia Monroe, the head of the Female Ward, Breckenridge had the obvious advantage, given that he was more experienced, and well, although she was a successful and most definitely wanted psychologist, she had been a changed woman ever since the second asylum breakout, six months ago.

Even someone as alone and quiet as Breckenridge obviously gets the rumors through the cracks of his office, and therefore he, too, had anticipated his promotion... Of course, that was only to have it shot down with the mysterious appearance of William Chambers. Coming from London, England, he stepped right into the shoes of Korsakov as if it were his birthright. Of course, people would have questioned this move, except for the fact that even the toughest of the staff were frightened by Chambers' intimidating nature (if they had thought that Korsakov was intimidating, they hadn't seen anything yet), and for the fact that their former employer had left Chambers to take care of business in his own will. The mystery that arises here was that nobody had ever heard of Chambers in their lives. Not even those whom Korsakov had kept dear. Not to mention that a certain James Breckenridge, with his chance of a promotion crushed, seemed oddly... Twisted. Changed, in a way. He wasn't the Doctor that everybody had known before since the appearance of Chambers.

And that was when the first suspicions had started to arise.

As mentioned before, the death of Korsakov was surrounded by mystery. Of course, with Breckenridge's shady behavior, especially with the sudden appearance of Chambers, people started to suspect that it was Breckenridge that had framed Korsakov's 'natural death'. He had the motive, and he had more than enough medical knowledge to, you know, poison him or something and still make his death seem accidental...

The weight of having two major escapes (and no signs of recovery by the escapees who have been contributing to the once again increasing crime rate to the city of Seattle) seems to have harmed Deliramenti's reputation, which, of course, takes its toll on the (mostly) innocent staff of the Asylum. Whatever happened to its good old days of being the most recommended mental institute in the country? Was that not why some of the most talented medical and psychological staff worked here? And what compel them to stay? Reputation or not, there certainly still exists a charm to Deliramenti that keeps the employees getting out of bed every morning.

With a new kind of tension arising within the asylum, not only between colleagues but amongst fellow inmates, and between doctors and their patients, and rumors of Korsakov's suspected 'homicide' spreading, the truth will slowly unwind.

Okay, before I post the ad I'm going to do what you ask and sell you the board. *thinks*.
