Graves Hall is a role playing game for as many players as we see fit. It will take place over a few months and has no intentional end date. If we decide to stop playing the game will end. Plot is open ended. Characters may have their own agendas. As a group of players we tend to be organic in our play. We do not typically use pre-made story lines and allow plot to happen as we develop our characters.

This game takes place in an Alternate Universe. Assume nothing about the culture or history, as we're building it as we play.

The first thing you need to know is that everyone has some measure of magic ability, some more than others. It typically runs in families in regards to specific kinds of magic. There are actual clans that practice specific kinds and frown upon other forms.

They live in a world known as Aylasia. They are all many and varied as the types of magic they perform. It wouldn't be uncommon to see many races living together in the same place. What divides them is the kind of magic they perform and their own preferences on the matter. It is not however, a Utopian society.

There are forces at work, some mystical, some mundane, and others that are entirely unknown that threaten the world of Aylasia. Our characters may or may not have a desire to get involved in these things.

We have our own newspaper, the New Meridian News, law making body, mail system, and rich history, as well as personal journals.

These rules apply to both games.

I'm making a simplified, alphabetical (by last name) pb list for the holds page. Some pbs may be listed twice (depending on which game they were used in). Those that are struck through were previously used and we'd rather not see them again.

For quick searching press "ctrl" and "f" A small bar will pop up on the bottom of your browser. Type the name you're looking for and press next.

Any previous pb's from graveshall are also off-limits, unless you're using the original character again (or as an NPC). Please keep in mind that it's 100 years later, so most of your characters would look older.

Beyond the Graves was the cracked out brainchild of several players of Graves Hall.

The concept: what's going on with the children of the characters in the original game?

So we set Beyond 100 years into the future of Aylasia, spawned families and started playing the most cracked out game humanly possible.

As per canon, we decided when we began playing that if events in Graves Hall did not line up with Beyond we would accept it as a discrepancy and simply carry on. They are different games, one just started as an idea of the other. If things in the one game don't match up, it's ok. It's a game.
