We all have Marvel, and DC, and other universes to play in. But something I've definately thought has been lacking; User Created Universes

Its important that all players know they can create their own Universes.  I've created a new Universe myself, that I'd love to invite everyone to feel free to Role Play within.  This is a Universe I've created based solely on being a user/player of Gotham; so its just like an universe you can create as well.  

And while I'm at it, I would like to invite people to share their own universes they've created as well!  
I am more than willing to setup webspace (for free) for anyone who needs it for their universe or storylines* (complete with Wordpress or another simular program so that your website is user friendly to you, and you can (or not) have people contributing as well, like I have done with the frozen website- take a look at the site to see if its a format you might be interested in), and I am more than willing to help anyone setup their site and maintain it on the gothamandbeyond.net server.  Just drop me a line, or come see me in Gotham.  *This offer is limited to players in Gotham, and to storylines and/or universes played in Gotham because I am limited on how much space I can provide, I cannot provide everyone who role plays space- I'm sorry.  I wish I could.  


Anyway, now on to the reason for my post.
I've created a new playable Universe in Gotham.  Its called The Frozen Universe, or The Frozen.  This Universe is based off a dream I had where as we were pushed into a new Ice Age very suddenly, and people had to attempt to survive, by any means.   I hope to see people enjoying the Universe in play, and creating new ideas. 
Please see the Frozen Website (listed below) for details on how to play within the universe.

Here is the introduction I've written up on Gotham & Beyond's website for the universe;

It was a fine summer, hot and sticky.  People were carrying on their normal lives, working, taking care of their children, shopping, just the day to day.  There had been rumblings of the weather changing, from the news and even the President of the United States issued a state of Emergency; but as is often done, people ignored it.  Perhaps it seemed to.. unfathomable. 

But one day, very suddenly, the Earth went through a drastic change.  Most people didn't survive.  Only those that were wise enough to take cover and then find a pocket of people immediately near them, forming a group, survived.

The Earth had frozen over, entering into a new Ice Age.  Technology was wiped out, homes were under hard ice and snow- new shelters needed to be built, and new technologies would have to be formed.  But could the first generation after this Ice Age do it?  Could they lift themselves out of despair, and create a new civilization?  And what of that civilization?  Is it a democracy, monarchy, or something else?  How are people treated... and more importantly, just who are the heroes and villains now?

Website: www.gothamandbeyond.net/frozen or frozen.gothamandbeyond.net
Genre: Modern/Sci-Fi/Horror (ie: The Stand)    

Note: The Frozen Universe website is seperate from gothamandbeyond.net's website, so even if you have an account at gothamandbeyond.net's website; if you want to post on the frozen website, you need to register for an account on the Frozen website.

Welcome to the new LJ Community for Gotham and Beyond, a role play room on WBS.  

This will be where I post about updates to the site, the room, or the general room storylines that we develop.  I welcome all Gothamites to join in, friend this blog, and post about your characters (be sure to use our Wiki to create your own character sheets, and storyline outlines/pages), your storylines, report on Gotham news, and share your views and post about your favorite comics, movies, tv shows, and other references which feature Heroes and Villains.  


As most of you know, I am working on updating the Gotham and Beyond website to include lots of new, and I hope, wonderful new features.  This is one of those features, which brings me several steps closer to being nearly finished.  The big project I'm working on, is a settings/destinations page that will give more information than the current destinations page gives.  It is an intensely power hungry project though, and time consuming, so it may take me a long while before that is complete.  

However, some of our new features that are already working are: 
* Staff (updated to be seperate from the Batsignal: Contacts page)
* Gotham Blog  (LiveJournal: You must have a livejournal account, which is entirely seperate from your Gotham account)
* Character/Storyline Wiki (Like Wikipedia, but only includes our characters, worlds, storylines, concepts, etc.)
* Watchtower: Emailing (Mailing list)
* RolePlay Post Save (Conveniently save your posts here!  Blogger: You must have a blogger account, which is entirely seperate from your Gotham account)
* MySpace Group (We're on MySpace- friend us!)


So.. what do I need from you?  If you have any other features you would like to see on the site, please comment here and let me know!  I'm really trying hard to make Gotham and Beyond's website a destination on the internet, and I can only do that with your help and the things you'd like to have all in one place.  

I look forward to hearing from you, and seeing your posts here on our LJ community.

Setting: Gotham
Control: content
Disturbance: Depeche Mode - Happiest Girl
References: welcome
