Contact: See forums; Nephemera (Nic on the forums) can also be contacted via AIM (SN: Nephemera) or LJ.
Minimum Age: None
Status: Ongoing, Always Open
Other Requirements: It's not necessary to read up on all the history, though there's plenty if you like that sort of thing! Feel free to introduce yourself in the "Speak Your Mind" forum, and check out the stickied threads in the "Crossroads" forum--then make a profile for your RP character in the "Profiles" thread. Once your character profile is approved, you're free to jump into the RP at any point. You can always check out the wiki or contact a staff member for more information on anything you find yourself confused about.
Game Description:
In a universe where humans, elves, dwarves, gods and demons once existed peacefully, everything is slowly but surely unraveling...
With the God of Order and the God of Chaos both dead, the remaining gods have scattered and abandoned their people, though whispers of divine plots still stir. The Godslayer, bringer of the Cataclysm that shattered the continents and stole the innate magics of the people, lies dormant in this age of isolation. The demons, unleashed upon the material world, seek to conquer this new land and reign supreme over their fellow demons. The elves have fallen victim to a gruesome, deadly plague. The humans, feeling lost and abandoned, struggle amongst themselves to protect their homelands and find their place in this new, brutal world. Countless games of deception are being played in every circle. The undead have risen in Remon, mindlessly spreading their sickness as they feed on the flesh of the living.
The Grand Alliance has risen once more as a candle in the darkness, but traitors lie in wait even in these noble ranks. The Crimson Coalition appears to counter the Alliance with its own goals and motives. Both sides feel their causes are just, both sides are ready to battle to oblivion if necessary. And yet, divided, they don't stand a chance against the massive demon hordes. Can they come together to defeat this threat? Or will darkness triumph over all?

The Gamers Alliance (or tGA) started out as a small EZBoard more than ten years ago, and it's been growing and evolving ever since. The current incarnation is largely based on traditional fantasy elements (with swords, magic, elves, dwarves, demons, gods, epic battles of good and evil, etc), though we have our share of not-so-traditional bits (pirates, samurai, communists, fundies, a gruesome elven plague, zombies). Our writers are all adults with great imaginations, though sometimes we tend to be a bit too windy. ;)
