Have you ever wanted to be the villain of the roleplay, wield unimaginable power and lead great armies to global domination? Then you've come to the right place.

Set in a small magic-drenched world called Elysium, you play as a member of a race of evil beings called the Dungeon Keepers. You appear in this world, which has never seen the likes of Keepers before, and it's up to you to conquer it. You will have to create a Dungeon, design an army and build up your personal avatar, all of which can be made entirely to your likings. While the humans inhabiting and guarding the land will pose an obstacle to you, your biggest threat will be from other Keepers, as they are not an organised or friendly group.

You, the Keepers, are effectively demigods, although you have to build up your power with your dungeon. You can take just about any form you like, so get creative. Your minions are also created and designed directly by you, so you can be just as creative with them. You have the power to be unique and original in your character.

The setting is fantasy with Renaissance era technology (cannons and muskets).


The Keepers were originally from another world, where they achieved the ultimate goal of triggering the Apocalypse and destroying the world. To escape destruction themselves, they fled through a portal, which led them to this tranquil planet. The Keepers have a long history of killing and enslaving humans as well as battling for power against each other. In this new world the humans have a strong hold on the skills of magic, so they will be a challenge to fight. Typically, the goal of a Keeper is to gains as much power as possible, and they typically do this through conquest of new lands and the Dungeons of other Keepers.


If you're interested, say so below and start brainstorming ideas for who you want to be.

Very interested...will wait to see how this pans out and how many people express interest before devoting too much time to it. Here's hoping it does pick up though.

These "Overlord" type RPs are usually some of my favorites in the old Guild.
I have quite a few ideas, like reincarnating an older monster that had extensive "True Animation" magic to amass armies of golems, poltergeists, living armor, and all sorts of living, inorganic things. Ah, it was so fun to turn practically everything into a minion~

There's also that time where I played as something akin to a "God of Decay," where they and their minions weren't very strong themselves, but their land and surroundings weakened, decayed even, their intruders dramatically. Lots of tactical play for them, keeping their "territory" mobile so that they wouldn't get picked off themselves. They were quite fun!

And the one time I used that crystalline blight! Monsters of transparent and hard material who, despite being weak alone, had an obscene amount of numbers to make up for it.

Choices, choices~
Ah, but I should not get ahead of myself. I'll keep watch on this definitely, but I may not be able to join in immediately.

That is very kind of both of you to express interest. Indeed you are spoilt for choice.

I think some sort of deer-centaur... Thing that can control animals and plants wold be kinda neat, like some sort of satanic Mother Nature. (Not that regular ol' Mother Nature isn't cruel to begin with.)

If each Dungeon Keeper is a solo act, attempting to conquer the known world, who or what is it that we'd be interacting with on a post by post basis?

You know what? This is exactly the sort of RP I've been looking for. Count me in! I'm already brainstorming new ideas.

Assallya, I think the general idea is that, initially, we primarily work with ourselves but eventually span out and are able to meet and greet/murder other Keepers.

In past versions of this RP, early on the Rogue Beings and Keepers generally meet up and interact a bit; there are also humans that will of course be fighting you. Towards the middle you can encounter the other Keepers, and we have a plot and some other characters that will be there for the end.

On a post-by-post basis, most of your interactions will be either with the denizens of your Dungeon and any neighbouring humans. Should you team up with a Rogue Being, they'll become someone to interact with frequently. Then you'll have occasional (or maybe frequent) contact with other Keepers.

It is up to you to meet up with other Keepers, for they are other players. The purpose and timings of such visits are also up to you. Maybe a trade agreement, or a pact, or a collaboration to attack a common foe, or more likely a battle. I would strongly suggest interacting with other players/Keepers, perhaps forming alliances or enemies early on which you can work through as the RP progresses.

For those who don't want to be a Keeper (or want a second character) can be something we call a Rogue Being. Powerful, although not as mush as a Keeper, they search for a Keeper to serve under. That is another good place for inter-player interaction.

Sure, why not? I'll go get it up and running, before we lose everyone's interest.
