Looking for good Harry Potter RPGs

[lavivi]

Sometimes, I don't feel like I know fandom very well, and that makes me sad, considering the number of hours I put into it.  To help this partly - I think well-done RPGs are one of the most awesome things, but I don't know where to start.  So would you please recommend your favorite, most impressive RPGs with a well-organized background, played by good characters, that is preferably still on-going?  It can be anything in the Harry Potter universe, from the founders to the Marauders to Harry's generation to generally whatever - as long as it consists of canon characters.  Other restrictions...um, I don't like slash much.  I think that's about it. 

C'mon, people, plug your (good) RPGs!

Hey! I'd definitely recommend racetothefinish. It's Trio-era, it's got a coherent storyline, sticks to canon, and has plenty of persistently active players. There are still lots of characters open, too!

morsmaraudre is a really good rpg, marauders-era.

Here from DS.

I'm currently watching a really hilarious Marauder-era RPG called morsmaraudre. Dunno if they plan on doing slash, but it looks like they might...? Other than that, I guess I'd recommend storge_space, but I reckon everyone's heard of that one...

Good luck!

I hadn't. [blush] But thanks - you're the second person to recommend morsmaraudre, so it must be good.

Storge is sorta famous. And it's funny (see the icon? It's from Storge.). Both of them are, actually. They're sort of satirical, and that's always fun.

Well, I think it's good, at least. :)

Lol, it looks good! I'll definitely check it out now.

invoko is a mature, fun and very new Harry Potter RP with a nocturne_alley-esque setup. :D We're currently looking to fill many majory roles and we'd love to add new people to our group!

here from the snitch. D0000d - my fave right now is exobscurus (check out the friend page to see the journals). We're having way too much fun.

My favorites: the_leaky and the_dungeons. The first is very soapy and frequently hilarious. The second is more literary and very angsty. Both have an excellent cadre of writers (McKay, GatewayGirl, Kaalee, VioletQuill, Arionrhod, Marks, and plenty of others in The Leaky; Cluegirl, Spiderine, Idlerat, Femme, Cursive, Chaos Rose, Dementor Delta, and an equal number of fine ones in the Dungeons), both have strong plots that have this odd tendency to parallel each other (both had a kidnapped Remus plot at about the same time, for instance), and both are addictive.

the_second_war is still active, has a detailed, post-OotP, canon-like plot and has openings for several major characters, including Snape, Minerva, Poppy, Ron, & Hermione.

A list of RPs...all of which is always looking for new players. Feel free to ask me for more info.

Two Marauder RP:
The Way They Were (http://s7.invisionfree.com/shoebox_rp_community/index.php?act=idx) (in their 5th Year the Dark Lord's gaining powers)

_marauders_map LJ RP (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=_marauders_map)

A Trio Era-
Hogwarts_Notes (http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=hogwarts_notes) 7th year

I mod over at Harry Potter and the Mask of the Red Death (http://www.greatestjournal.com/community/maskofreddeath). Our end of year plot has been well underway since 1st April (where we actually got to stage the entire battle in RP/ficlet format!). Lots of exciting things!

There are some really brilliant writers there, as well!

hogwarts_notes here on LJ. I play Draco. We always need new players if you fancy popping along. *grins*

By the Lake (http://www.livejournal.com/community/by_the_lake/) is one that I'm in.

Also, natternet (http://www.livejournal.com/community/natternet/friends) is fun to watch, but everything is done in the friends view. (I've already linked you to the f-view, though, so no worries.) I'm not involved with it, but it's very, very amusing. ^_~

natternet and storge_space are both awesome.

I am a big fan of harrygoesdown

It's really cute Harry/Draco. Not particularly full of content, but entertaining nonetheless.

and I highly doubt I'm the only one who bawled at the end of nocturne_alley

I follow heirandaspare, which is a Marauder's game played out by letters and very easy to keep up with.

I also like semper_arcanum and seen_unforeseen.
