[HEADING=3]What is this?[/HEADING]

The Forum Role-play Index is a place for Escapists to obtain information on the many, many, many role-plays available without having to go through lots of individual pages. It's also a place for new role-plays to get some publicity.

[HEADING=3]How can I contribute?[/HEADING]

You can help expand the Index by submitting active role-plays. Please only post links to threads that you are either GMing or are participating in. Once an RP is posted to the Index it does not need to be re-posted unless there is something that requires correcting - such as if a role-play has been re-opened, is on hiatus, or has ended.

Please submit role-plays using the following format:

[HEADING=3]Name Of the Role-play[/HEADING]
GM(s): Who is in charge of the role-play? Co-GMs may also be listed here.
Genre: What is the RP based on or what is its overall genre / type? Ex: Western, Sci-Fi, Anime, Horror.
Status: Is the thread new and Accepting Sheets? Is it Open to sheet submissions by PM? Is it Open Permanently for new players? Or has the RP begun and progressed far enough that it's now Closed to new applicants?

Link: Copy and paste the thread URL here or use the LINK tag.
Usergroup: If you have made a User Group for the role-play, include the link here.

Description: Write a brief description/summary of the role-play. Try and sell the idea to potential applicants.

Description: You have either sinned against God, the State or your Bank, and landed yourself in Jail with a sentence and a hefty debt to boot. Always in the red, your chances of leaving the coal tunnels digging down to hell itself are slim at best. But something is brewing in this prison, rumors of experimentation on prisoners and strange sounds coming from the debts of hell, as the prisoners keep chipping away at the coal.

Nice to see Indigo already up there, but there has been a change in GMs. Mookie Magnus is no longer a co-GM, and CounterAttack has moved up to take that spot.

It's a shame we couldn't have kept using the old thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/540.255708-Roleplayers-Index-Digest-New-Update-Submit-New-Roleplays] since that had a nice history to it and some GM interviews too but oh well, guess it wasn't really being used much any-more. Here's two submissions, one of my own RP's and another that I'm a co-GM in:

Well, I think that the GM Interviews [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/540.255708.11193814] should still be linked in the OP or something.

@JoJo & @Terratina.: : I'm not continuing the Digests which is why that portion is no longer included in the OP. But I've included a link to the Interviews for those who still want to see 'em.

I could potentially come back to interviewing... the issue, however, is the questions that would be asked. I couldn't think of any other questions to use after the first set of interviews, regardless of who they were aimed at (GMs or players).

Hey Iron what happened to that WW2 RP everyone was so hyped up about ?

What happened?
Dreams and ideas had to turn into actual mechanics and story. I'm still trying to work it out, but it doesn't stop me from trying out other ideas.

[HEADING=2]The Grand Mythos [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/540.392413-PDQ-The-Grand-Mythos-Recruitment-Thread#15824293][/HEADING]

GM(s): I will be running it, I am also currently looking for a co-GM
Genre/Type: Competitive Sandbox Style game, trying to focus on creation myths.
Status: Currently recruiting both players, Co-GM applicants would be nice as well

Link: The Grand Mythos [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/540.392413-PDQ-The-Grand-Mythos-Recruitment-Thread#15824293]

Usergroup: Not yet, I will start it up one the game starts. I can also be found on synirc [http://webchat.synirc.net/] in the channel #escapistgods. Use your escapist username as your irc handle.

Description: You are a brand new god in a brand new universe. Create, live, destroy and alter it as you and your fellow players see fit. How will the world shape up when under your will?

Note: I will be using the Prose Descriptive Quality system along with the orokos dice roller in order to determine the outcomes of major actions.
Gonna try the big brother version of the game I ran a couple months ago.

Good to see SB is alive and kicking. How's it going?
Slow but steady, like most the RP's I'm in it seems to have gradually morphed into having longer but less frequent posts. The Star Brigade was hijacked by some C.O.L a while back and the corps are leading an assault to get it back. Lime is one of those taking part in the assault and Kalade is one of the hostages inside the ship :)
