Update: With 6 active writers (3 new), we are looking for 1-2 more to round off the team.

The Sapphire Lounge

Near the corner of First and Grand, wedged snugly between gleaming skyscrapers of steel and glass, a two-story brownstone serves as a DMZ for Gods, Demons, and even corporate lawyers. Welcome to The Sapphire Lounge, the seediest little strip joint west of the Mississippi, here the dancers are always friendly and the gate to hell sometimes swings both ways. It is in this dimly lit establishment that the fate of the universe shifts over stale beer and over-salted peanuts, and eldritch problems of a more delicate nature may be resolved discretely.

At least, that’s what it says on the tacky tri-fold brochure.

Twenty-five years ago, the world was brought to its knees by the emergence of a pair of Chaos Lords, embodying the aspects of Love and Light. War was waged across the realms, led by a desperate coalition of Gods and Demons. In the end, the Lord of Light was banished, and an uneasy truce was brokered upon the sacrifices of mortal men. A seal was formed over the rift to the Chaos Realms, and Nidd, the proprietor of The Sapphire Lounge, tasked with eternal vigilance over the Realm Seal.

Time passes, the Chaos Lords stir again. The old guard has fallen, and the Gods once again look upon mortal men for saviors in their time of need. Welcome to The Sapphire Lounge, help wanted. Employees drink for free.



Take 2 parts American gods, 1 part Hellblazer, and add a dash of Fables. Shake well and serve cold.

This is a plot and character-arc driven free-form game. Behind the scenes collaboration between the GM and writers is quite common to give the writing a cohesive, narrative style. The GM will provide the broad strokes of the plot and direction and reserve the right to veto any worldbreaking ideas. Otherwise, we work on equal terms, creating lore, storylines, and characters as needed to create a living, vibrant world. We are always looking for self-motivated and mature writers to become a part of the team. If you are interested in the setting and would like to see if your character idea fits, feel free to send us a message in game.

In reply to Kingfisher (msg # 1):

Pardon me if i'm wrong, but you want someone to "act" as one of the characters? I apologize if i'm wrong or if the position is taken, but i'd be happy to play the part of/write for Sheena Arynn.

Thanks!

In reply to CrassGrass (msg # 7):

You're quite correct. You would act/play as one of the characters, much in the same way you play a character in most RPGs. Unfortunately, the position for Arynn has been taken. We've been working with a writer for awhile to test her fit and has accepted her on a trial basis.

If you would be interested in any of the other characters or if you'd like to follow along, I'd be happy to add you as a lurker. Opportunities for writers to create brand new characters in this game world will come along in the future as well.  Either way, thank you for your interest!

The game is now open to new characters, both fixers and those not immediately affiliated with the lounge. We are always looking for self-motivated and mature writers to become a part of the team. We've just had the fortune of accepting 3 very talented writers who are just now starting their character arcs.  This would be the ideal time for anyone interested in the setting or collaborative story-telling in general to join. If you are interested and would like to see if your character idea fits, feel free to send us a message in game.
