Pimping a new RPG  
Humanity’s day is over, the Old Ones have regained control and humans have been hunted almost to the point of extinction. The ultimate battle between good and evil was fought and we lost.

The world as we know it is gone, sacrifices were made, casualties were heavy. The survivors are banding together to eke out an existence, struggling to survive, striving to get through one more day. Waiting for the opportunity to fight back, to regain control of their destiny. Is that time at hand?



Unfortunately it looks as though [livejournal.com profile] _end_of_days has suffered a catastrophic implosion, but we had fun while it lasted so [livejournal.com profile] rileysaplank and I got together and started thinking about ways we could replicate that fun. Welcome to [livejournal.com profile] _inthedarkness a post-Chosen BtVS/AtS LJ RPG. We're waiting for a few more characters to sign up before we get going but the goal is a simple one. Humanity is beaten back to a handful of unlikely survivors. They're struggling to get through another day and are determined to fight back anyway they can.

Interested? Check out the info page and email us at shona@moments-lost.co.uk and rileysaplank@yahoo.com if you are, or leave a comment here with the following info: Name/LJ name:
Character applying for:
Sample of writing: (links to an archive site are fine)
Character information: (where you see the character going, what you plan to do with them)
RPG experience: (don't worry if you've never RPG'd before, we all have to start somewhere!)

We're going to take the pressure off a little, scenes with other characters are not going to be the frantic "we have to get this finished in an hour because Sho has to get up for work in the morning" affairs they could be at EOD, but hey - apply and we'll let you know the way we want to play it (or Andy will, 'cause he understands it better than me!)

As you'll see from the userinfo, Andy and I are down for two characters each. I don't want any one player to ever have more than that - it gets too confusing and if that one person is absent for an extended time it can lead to the story grinding to a halt. (Like in November/December on EOD when a certain person (me) playing six characters couldn't post. *g*) Plus, if you want to play one of my characters, just holler - I'm open to negotiation!

C'mon, you know you want to!

ETA Knew I meant to say this earlier - this game will have a 15 rating.

Tempted... but I ended up spending way too much time on [livejournal.com profile] _end_of_days, so 'fraid I'll have to decline for now! Maybe at a later date.

Good luck with it anyway!

*pouts*

Seriously, I understand completely Sam, we'd love to have you on board at any time. It will not be as pressure intensive as EOD was. There won't be a requirement to commit a five hour gap of your weekend to a group post, it'll be as and when people are available - scenes may be started one day and finished the next week.

If you change your mind (and I personally think you'd make a great Gunn or Lindsey) just give us a shout. :)

Sure thing. :) Will definitely consider it. Right now, however, the big Buffy-related thief of my time is the Buffy readthrough, which keeps on thinking up new and imaginative ways to keep me busy. Like, last few days, attempting to transcribe the bits of OMWF that aren't in the script book. So, not going to think about taking up something like that before that's past. (April 16th).

Talking about Buffy-related music... *looks at Sho with wide, sad eyes*

*hangs head in shame*

It's done, it's just not... complete yet. Today, I promise!
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2005 11:59 pm (UTC)
Done, complete, absolutely raring to go... but I can't get my ftp settings to work on this machine. I can get in and see all the pretty little folders and icons but I can't upload anything.

So... I'm really sorry but it'll be tonight before it's online.

Plus, got the fics printed out and sitting in front of me right now so hopefully I will also have those done by tonight as well. I'm such a bad friend sometimes, I'm sorry.

*hugs* You are so not a bad friend. You take on so much and do so much for people. And thanks. *hugs again*

Gah, I would. But having never seen the later seasons of Angel I doubt I'd be much use. I used to RP when I was at Uni, and the thought of reprising Will is tempting (if she's still alive, I don't even know that), but I'd be completely out of the loop.

we're working it in such a way that season five of Angel didn't happen (the final battle was fought just weeks after Chosen) and you could take on a Buffy character that we haven't thought of yet. It really won't matter that you've not seen the last few seasons of Angel because you can get to know the characters as the game evolves.

Go on... you know you really want to!

Tell you what, if you can send me a more detailed premise by e-mail (along with your address, if you still want that corset pattern), you may have yourself a witch!

heh - I should have emailed you this morning. I hope. jackiejones80 right?

If you haven't got an email, could you send me one? shona@moments-lost.co.uk - thanks!
[identity profile] willowmina.livejournal.com on March 29th, 2005 04:00 am (UTC)
I have it (I tend not to check e-mail at work, but I just checked now as out tonight and viola!)

Will mail you back.
