Please head on over to the OoC so I only have to keep track of one thread.

[h3]Tl;Dr[/h3]

Upon graduating from Hogwarts, our cast of young witches and wizards receive a bursary for foreign travel, enabling them to travel the world, starting with Europe. As a game, this will run as a series of short chapters, each focusing on one particular area and the adventures and antics of the group in each place. I really encourage players to come up with plots and locations and interesting sightseeing destinations and even to organise chapters themselves.

[h3]Plot and Setting[/h3]

Obviously, this is set in the wizarding world of Harry Potter - but in 2007, ten years on from Voldemort’s final defeat, and so some scars still run deep, both personally and politically. Most of the world isn’t really documented (and things will have changed in the last ten years) in the books so we’ll be coming up with what we want/imagine certain areas of certain countries will be on the fly. To that end, I encourage people to ‘dibbs’ a country and officially establish what each nation is like, culturally, politically, and demographically.

There will almost certainly be no overarching plot outside the individual episodes beyond the continuity of our characters’ interactions with each other and maybe some continuity in global politics. There will be very little connection with canon characters.

If this gets interest and becomes a thing, I’ll outline things more finely, but, the basic premise will be that the core cast are recent Hogwarts graduates that have applied for or been nominated for the O’Lustrum Bursary for Global Study in order to equip the upcoming generation of wizarding world with some wisdom of the actual world. The trip will be open-ended so that we can come up with episodes on the fly.

Plots I have in mind - though I'm keen for players to come up with ideas for episodes and for it not to be all me:
[list][*] Guest appearance at the Triwizard tournament
[*] An episode involving some veela, easily-influenced teenagers, raging hormones, and poor decisions
[*] Being present at the outbreak of actual bona-fide civil war
[*] Dragons (haven't developed this idea much)
[*] A glamorous, magical cruise of some kind[/list]

[h3]Who I’m Looking For:[/h3]

These are the qualities I’m looking for in my players. I hope that you don’t think it’s extensive.

[list][*] Accurate spelling and grammar
[*] Use of collaborative posts
[*] People who want to come up with ideas and locations and storylines
[*] People who want to interact with other players
[*] People who have a good knowledge of the HP canon
[*] I'm not looking for loads of players but I'm happy for players to bring more than one character
[*] Commitment (obvs)[/list]

Hope to hear from some people soon. :)
