In a universe where humans, elves, dwarves, gods and demons once existed peacefully, everything is slowly but surely unraveling. With the God of Order and the God of Chaos both dead, the remaining gods have scattered and abandoned their people, though whispers of divine plots still stir. The Godslayer, bringer of the Cataclysm that shattered the continents and stole the innate magics of the people, lies dormant in this age of isolation. The demons, unleashed upon the material world, seek to conquer this new land and reign supreme over their fellow demons. The elves have fallen victim to a gruesome, deadly plague. The humans, feeling lost and abandoned, struggle amongst themselves to protect their homelands and find their place in this new, brutal world. Countless games of deception are being played in every circle. The undead have risen in Remon, mindlessly spreading their sickness as they feed on the flesh of the living.
The Grand Alliance has risen once more as a candle in the darkness, but traitors lie in wait even in these noble ranks. The Crimson Coalition appears to counter the Alliance with its own goals and motives. Both sides feel their causes are just, both sides are ready to battle to oblivion if necessary. And yet, divided, they don't stand a chance against the massive demon hordes. Can they come together to defeat this threat? Or will darkness triumph over all?
The Gamer's Alliance (aka tGA) has been EoFF's unofficial forums-based ORPG for many years. It began as a collection of EzBoards getting together to RP (EoFF and several others, now long dead), and it evolved from there all the way into its current incarnation. tGA has historically drawn most of its membership from EoFF, and well-known EoFFers such as Cid, Dr Unne, Bleys, Raistlin, Loony BoB and Jojo among others have been RPing there.
If you're new to roleplaying, just think of it as a big, interactive, collaborative story. The plot of the RP is not set in stone, so anyone can add new ideas to it. As long as you're not "god-moding" (overpowering your characters, doing something ridiculously unrealistic), just about anything goes!
The current incarnation is largely based on traditional fantasy elements (with swords, magic, elves, dwarves, demons, gods, epic battles of good and evil, etc), though we have our share of not-so-traditional bits (pirates, samurai, communists, fundies, a gruesome elven plague, zombies). Our writers are all adults with great imaginations, though sometimes we tend to be a bit too windy.
It's not necessary to read up on all the history. Just read through the Rules, FAQ and New State of the World threads, and make a profile for your RP character in the Profiles thread. Once your character profile is approved, you're free to jump into the RP (stickied in the Crossroads forum) at any point.
If you don't feel like RPing in the main forum or if you want to start another RP set in your own world, tGA has a Quest forum where you can start your own original RPs.
