Good to see some interest. If I can get it going like my first go around I'm sure it will be enjoyable for all involved.

Desktop profile login won't work. Coincidence that Windows 7 is no longer supported on same day? Consider me doubtful.

I'm having way too much fun with my Legend of Zelda Encylopedia. This is the game that got me into roleplaying so have a lot invested in it's lore and stories. Too bad can't have all the games too.

I keep forgetting there is actually something called Monster of the Week, so to make sure people don't confuse it with this anymore I changed the name.
Would it be possible for an old player of the RP to recycle their character or do I have to make a new one from scratch?
Old characters are ok as long as I approve of them. Yours were fine as I recall so they were are ok to come back.
Ok, this is actually just a remake of a roleplay I started a while ago. It was going pretty well but unfortunately I had a major change in my life that required my utmost attention. Well my ducks are getting in a row so I should have enough time to get back into one of my favorite hobbies!
Since this is just a remake I've pretty much just popped my old thread over here but of course I need to see if I have interested parties, so here it is in the interest thread. Read the little opener, rules, etc, and see if this is up your alley! Also I'll pop in a link to the old thread so you have a better idea what I had going on back then. The old thread.
A strange feminine figure stood in front of the viewing screen, decked out it what appeared to be a light blue flight suit with silver plates on its chest, shoulders, and shins. Its eyes were slanted at a 45 degree angle and its irises were the color of blood. Her features were sharp and the body was thin and long by human standards, her height reaching a good 6'5". Her hair was feathery like a moth's antennae and the long 'stalks' reached down to her waist, which moved despite there being no air flow on the command deck.
The alien shivered in delight for a moment, before giving a small cough to gain hold of herself.
She put a hand out and made the motion of grabbing the visual of the planet in front of her, her fist clenched with great strength. There were two main reasons the planet was such a hard location to conquer: One, there were a lot of strange individuals with unique powers on that planet, ranging from the mundane to the fantastical who could put up a proper fight. Two, there was an annoying dimensional barrier around the planet that was specifically designed to keep out alien forces, while not affecting the inhabitants in the least. Because of the barrier they would have to expend a great deal of power every time they sent something down, which limited the amount that could be sent.
As the barrier prevented any large invasion forces, that meant they would have to send down quality instead of quantity. To help facilitate her plans to capture the Earth and shut down the field protecting it, the alien had gone into the business of Monsternacy, a scientific and magical fusion technique to create powerful, and often very unique, fighting machines. Aside from that she had also placed a bounty on the barrier maker to try and entice some of the galaxy's most fearsome mercenaries. She could get the best of all worlds with her schemes.
Soon it would be time to start the conquest of the Earth. Buzzing a little tune she skipped along off the command deck to head down to the Monsternacy department to see what dastardly monster she would send down first.
1. Joining is very easy, no set character sheet required.
2. When joining give a rough estimate of how long you plan to stick around with your character. Could be for just one monster or several.
3. While joining is easy, I do expect at least casual level of role playing, meaning written paragraphs, grammar, spelling, etc.
4. While in the roleplay I expect at the very least once a week posts, hopefully more.
5. A character will be considered inactive and may be killed off 10 days after the last post.
6. Each time a character joins, put that character in the character tab. All I actually need is the character's name and how long you plan to use that character. Anything else is up to you.
7. Try not to make your character too powerful, I don't want a bunch of Supermen and Goku's flying around beating everything in sight. That said be free to make some very interesting creations.
8. Posting order is as follows. Monster > Players > Monster. That said I will sometimes go forward with a monster turn before everyone else has posted to keep things running.
9. After the battle has gone on for a bit, I'll open up a 'dramatic battle mode' in this mode you are able to control the monster as well so you can create more dramatic battle scenes, but of course you can't destroy the monster until I give the go ahead.
This will be kind of like those old monster of the week shows where kids were dazzled with stock footage and crazy costumes. The monsters will arrive usually one at a time, hop in and try to take em down. Come in when you want to and leave after any monster-of-the-week has been defeated.
Earth is a pretty typical modern day setting, except with super humans and the like doing their merry business. Magical barrier McGuffin-kun must be protected or the barrier will fall and the monsters will have their hay day on Earth. Don't stay away too long or the Earth is doomed!

"So this is the so called unconquerable planet. Such a delightful blue gem, if I am able to capture it for the patriarch I am sure I will generously rewarded and he will look at me with those strong eyes of his..."
The alien shivered in delight for a moment, before giving a small cough to gain hold of herself.
"Thankfully we have been preparing our forces for a long time despite the barrier it will only be a matter of time before we can crush any resistance!"

This will be kind of like those old monster of the week shows where kids were dazzled with stock footage and crazy costumes. The monsters will arrive usually one at a time, hop in and try to take em down. Come in when you want to and leave after any monster-of-the-week has been defeated.

So I'll have to move across country next week, then get slammed with pre-work prep workshops/meetings for like two weeks in a row then work will start shortly after so...frankly I doubt I'll have the mind to continue this roleplay.
Thank everyone for joining, sorry to those that just recently joined but I just doubt I'll have the time or brainpower to roleplay for quite a while. This is gonna be a big turning point in my life and career so gotta keep my eye on the prize.
Have fun out there but unfortunately I won't be able to provide it for now. Later!

A potential job opportunity showed up this week so gonna have to concentrate on that for now. Might be still a while before I can get back to this.
My grandfather has recently taken a dive in health so I'm afraid my head really isn't in the game right now to post. Might be last big family gathering all together this weekend so probably won't be able to get anything out until next week.
Hmmm, well seems to annoying to change it after the fact. In any case such a discrepancy doesn't really change anything that has happened so we'll just march forward without worry.

Taking the device carefully, Titanius began his analysis of the device. Suitably advanced, he had no problem interfacing with the device, his liquid metal quickly hardening into the correct connections to plug in. As he quickly scanned the machine he was careful to make sure none of his assimilation protocols activated or he risked damaging the scanner. It didn't take long for his machine mind to understand how the machine worked, though truly understanding the data itself would take time; thankfully, all he really needed to do was find a way to get the data to be holographically projected so then the expert on the theories could get to work.
The machine part of his mind quickly scanned through the applications of the device until it found the holographic processing unit. The unit was different than others he had seen before but it was no problem for his processes to adapt to the alien tech and then modify it for easier access. With a simple binary code change, the holographic projects turned on and lit up the space in front of him with a very strange map. He knew what it was supposed to be but without some baseline knowledge he was unable to determine what exactly the map showed so he scanned for any keys of ledgers that might shine some light on the subject while he waited for the others to find what they were looking for.
"Now, whenever you need it, it should be as easy as flipping a switch, this switch to be precise." Titanius pointed to a small switch to the side of the scanner.
