Castle Beware

January 10, 2022 Fantasy, Historical, Medieval RPGs

Visit

The Castle Beware is a free-form, text based roleplaying game that has been in operation since 1998.

The Castle Beware is a medieval roleplaying realm. While this may be the time period for the realm, there have been a few instances of time traveling or characters who are able to travel through time and visit other time periods. We have also been visited by spaceships crashing into Beware in the past as well.

Between werewolves, vampires, dragons, wizards, demons, devils and angels, the only limitation is your imagination!

Three on a Match

December 27, 2021 Horror, Post-Apocalyptic, and Dark RPGs

Visit

Three On A Match is an 18+ 3-3-3 gothic horror RP set in the fictional city of Easthaven, Massachusetts.

The old city of Easthaven has butted up against the Atlantic since the establishment of colonies in New England. With this legacy comes an appropriately long and storied history to match, of vibrant trade, industry, and dark tales. The Old World’s ancient fears and folktales have established themselves, becoming a reality among the cobbled streets of a city straddling the Old World and the New, trapped between modern ingenuity and medieval superstition.

Our lore draws inspiration from Lovecraft, works like The Dresden Files and Hellboy, penny dreadfuls, and folklore and mythology from all over the world. We have seasonal events, a robust magic system that allows you to customize your characters to your heart’s desire, and a fun, intuitive (and optional) leveling system. We hope you come over and check us out!
