the_lifeboat is a post-apocalyptic panfandom game based in the Stargate universe.
THE PREMISE
Twelve months ago, the world as you know it changed. The Stargate Program went public and the population of the world learned that aliens were real and that the earth had been in contact with them.
Eleven months ago, unknown to the public, a devastating threat hung over the earth. Secret lifeboat colonies were created and those lucky enough to be chosen migrated to these safe sites via the stargate.
Seven months ago, an unknown hostile alien species destroyed the earth's sun, and earth as you knew it was gone.
THE GAME
You are part of the remnant of earth's population, surviving and rebuilding at the lifeboat colony named Gamma Site. Though earth is gone, there is a stargate at your disposal and thousands of unexplored worlds at your fingertips.
It's the latest ad for crossing_lostrp. It took me all day to get the color scheme right and then, ultimately to edit the tags and tweak it so it looks normal posting on LiveJournal.

I'm considering bringing in a second character for newdawn_rpg(yes, already), but I can't make up my mind.
newdawn_rpg is (mostly) live and finished. I still need to figure out which layout I'm going to use, and whip up a default icon, but for now it's done. I'm tired. And ... oddly satisfied.
White sand beaches. Rolling waves of turquoise. Golden rays of sunshine. Tropical paradise.
Except that what should be a picture perfect holiday spot isn't. This tropical island is home to the survivors of the ill-fated Oceanic Flight 815 and many other individuals whom were pulled to the island through time, space and even from alternate universes. As ecletic and different as these people are, they must learn to survive together on an island that defies the laws of physics and nature, where those who wish them harm are just an arm's reach away, where nothing is exactly as it seems. All are stranded on this island for a purpose, and it can only be hoped that they learn what that purpose is before it is too late.
This is the story of Crossing Lost, a LiveJournal hosted RP, inspired by ABC's "LOST." Crossing Lost is a character-driven, completely non-canon game.
