New: Paradox (free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Fri, 07 Oct 2005 23:13:02 +0000 Name: Paradox Costs: free Frequency: every 3 days URL: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ParadoxRPGCentral/ Type: Buffy/Angel PBEM rpg Last-Update: 2005Sep16 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg Description: Paradox - One exhibiting inexplicable or contradictory aspects. It's been 2 years since Buffy sacrificed herself to save Dawn and the others. 2 years that now finds a barely 18 year old Dawn stripping for money to save all she has left of Buffy and their mother -- Their house. Giles in jail for killing Ben, Glory's human form. Oz is the leader of the local werewolf pack, trying to avoid a full scale war with the vampires that have already taken 1/3 of the town over with the other 3rd belonging to the werewolves and the last bit of town neutral to both sides. Xander and Anya never got married with Anya living life as a demon once more and Xander trying to avoid becoming his father. Willow, who lives with Dawn and Spike in the Summers house, is still desperate as ever to find a way to bring back Buffy and get Tara back into her life. Spike still tries to keep his promise to Buffy to protect Dawn. Tara works for Anya at the Magic Box, trying to do what she can for the fight and taking down all she sees in The Chronicles. But it wasn't supposed to be like this. None of this was supposed to happen. Buffy was brought back. She defeated the First. And then she had a conversation with the angel Gabriel on the top of a London rooftop months later. The angel telling her the scales of good and evil were tipped too far into the realm of good. But in order to have one, you had to have the other to define it. So Buffy sent back Faith so that Willow would never be able to bring her back from the dead. But how did Buffy send Faith back if she was never brought back herself? And why is the world so much worse off? Truly a Paradox. But then . . . How do you save heaven when you're in hell . . . You have to have Faith. Join us as we retell the story of the Scooby Gang without Buffy and Team Angel without Wolfram and Hart. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/ParadoxRPGCentral/ [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
