[pimp] Two games for your superheroic perusal.

I am contractually obligated to advertise the games I moderate. Also, it's been precisely 1 year and 2 weeks since I last pimped, so I should be allowed to do this! The actual ads give the public schpiel, but consider these my honest and informal endorsements:

Neopolis Academy[insanejournal.com profile] neopolis
See: advertisement/full premise. Neopolis Academy is a school-based game with original superheroes and supervillains, set in the universe of Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog. This game is our brainchild; everyone's world-building as we go, and it's a complete blast. High standards of writing and originality apply, and we keep churning out mini-plots (and sometimes mega-plots) to keep things rolling.

We've been running strong since February with no need to advertise, but our player population has been stable for a while, so we could do with some fresh blood! It's a strong time investment, since it's such a large game, but if you're into a colourful and vibrant atmosphere with lots of potential for creativity, come on in and take a look! After all, we have superheroes and zombies and werebears.

Crossover[insanejournal.com profile] xovermods
See: advertisement/full premise. Crossover is an original-character game structured around the concept of reincarnated comic book characters: that is, everyday normal people attaining the memories (and sometimes abilities!) of various fictional characters. After various disasters (notably, some villainous activity and earthquakes earlier in 2009), the community is starting to cohere again under the subtle guidance of a shadowy corporation called Orbis.

The game has existed since October 2008, but took a hiatus for a couple months. We've been back in action since June, though, and could do with more characters of any flavour! ...but I would sell some small children for some really good string-pulling villains (Magneto? Hush? R'as Al Ghul?).

The mods are friendly and approachable on all sides, and even feel free to comment here if you have any questions or thoughts that I could respond to! Aaaand we'll be back to your regularly scheduled icons soon enough.
