As if the dead weren't enough to deal with, the Mariners are now up against the Disciples of the Deep Ones, a group of drugged out fanatics who believe the tellings of H.P. Lovecraft are real.
Hi, there! I'm Crow. I'm new (obviously) and just thought I'd introduce myself and check in before I start making my character. I'm 28 and I've been RPing on and off for a few years now. I usually stop because the site that I frequent shuts down, or starts to get overtaken by drama. I've played a range of different characters, but I like to keep my roster short; usually no more than three characters. I've been looking for something small and active for a while now. Small means less drama, right? lol
I just have some questions before I create my character. How far into the apocalypse are we? The plot says it's after season five, but I don't know how long after, or how much time has passed since that was written.
Do you follow an OOC account policy here? The rules say one account per character, so do I use my main character's account for OOC posting and such, or make a separate one?
Also, what kind of characters are most needed? Are there more females than males? Or, does balance matter at all?
Thanks! Looking forward to hearing from the staff, or anyone else that wants to chime in! <3
Our stories are based a year and half (at this point its about two years) after the end.
One account per character means one character per forum account (which you can have an infinite amount of on a forum assigned to the same proboards account, if you don't know how I'll be happy to help.) We all have our main account's that we use for DM's/Chatbox and the like but there isn't really a rule on what account you have to use to post OOC, just make sure we know who you are.
You can write any type of character you like as long as they make sense. At the moment there is a majority of female PC's but play what you find the most fun. Fun is why we're here after all!
At the moment the most active thread would be Bar Harbor (everyone has a character there) but there are also a few other places scattered around that I have characters placed. You're more than welcome to join any of them though. Or if you'd prefer to start your own I'd be more than happy to write up a character or move a unused character to join you. Again, Welcome!

Hey Crow, welcome! We're a small but dedicated community and you'll find we post a lot here. If that's what you're looking for, this is the place to be There is no drama OOC, and it's been that way since we started which is almost two years ago.
Currently Bar Harbor is one of the main storyline, but Ayita Hunt and Sieglinde 'Ziggy' Krüger will undertake an expedition to Europe after the battle is over and after winter has passed to get Sieglinde back to her home country of Germany. What we've agreed upon so far is that they'll shipwreck in Norway and then go from there. Currently there's a thread in Norway featuring Abby so you can also join in there.
I'm also the lead on the Bar Harbor storyline and I've got a juicy new adventure in mind for Mallory and the others after Bar Harbor has been reclaimed. I'll write the plot for it after the battle is over.
You are of course free to start your own storyline, or start your own thread and see who you can get interested to join. If there's anything you want like a stronghold, a convoy or the like hit me up and I'll create the board for you
Also I'm in Europe GMT+1 and in active military service (non-US), so it may take some time for me to reply. Clara (Art) works from home and is in the US, maybe more into your timeframe.
Anyway, we're here for you if you have questions and welcome again, happy RP'ing!
