Haunted Chambers, a message-board style Harry Potter Role-playing
game is preparing to enter Harry's 6th year at Hogwarts. We are
owned and run by adults, and welcome both canon and original
characters. We have a straight-forward screening process that
ensures that our players have a solid understanding of book-canon so
that even our Original characters blend well into JKR's universe.
We do not allow `cross-overs' from other genres, but do encourage
imaginative invention and blending of ideas gleaned from other
sources into the wider magical world.
We have forums for all time-frames within the Harry Potter world,
from MWPP era through to `present-day'. We encourage our players to
feel free to `bounce back' to student days to explore the history
and interactions of their characters with other characters on the
board. Year 6 will be conducted in a chronological fashion going
forwardsbut people are always welcome to play threads in earlier
time-frames to establish relationships and histories with new
characters.
We currently are especially looking to fill two important roles.
First, a creative Original Character to fulfill the role of the DADA
Professor in year 6. Whether this character is loyal to Dumbledore,
sympathetic to Voldemort, a lackey of the Ministry, or even a
planted Voldemort spy (which Voldemort would greatly appreciate!) is
entirely up to the applicant.
Second, the new Minister of Magic. JKR tells us that Fudge will not
be Minister in book 6, so for the purposes of our `game world' we
have decided Fudge is up for re-election. Fudge obviously will not
winbut who will? Again this entirely depends on the creativity of
the characters involved, and we encourage `campaigning' either by
the candidate him/herself or by those who wish that candidate to
be `elected'. Assuming we have at least two `candidates', we will
even conduct a vote through Private Messangers with the
Administration Team to chose the `winner'. Again, will this person
be sympathetic to Dumbledore or Voldemort? Or simply another
politician who loves only power and tries to stay oblivious to the
world around him/her?
Other important needs include Muggle-born and Half-blood witches,
wizards, and students
particularly if you are willing to have your
character's "extended family" be a ready target for DE games and
attacks. The war is coming out into the open, and we need plenty
of "canon fodder" without killing off our player-characters!
Malfoy Senior and Junior would like to have the Crabbes and Goyles
in play. Many canon Death Eaters and Order Members are still
available.
We prefer mature players (age 16 and over). The vast majority of
our players are adults age 20 and over. We maintain a high-quality
of character development and a good balance between encouraging
people to be creative with their characters without becoming "Mary
Sues" or "Gary Stus". Currently we have more female characters than
male, and more `good guys' than `bad guys'.
