[ORIGINALLY BY INQUISITORDUST (DUSTY), NOW PORTED HERE BECAUSE IT'S OURS!]
Welcome to the Utterly Mad Resources & Current, Paused, and Pending Roleplays section! I devised this away from the Rec Room Discussion since this is more informational than a place to talk. As mentioned above, all credit and things you see here are here because the incredible Dusty Trails put it all together on the C:DDA Rec Room Discussion some time ago. So give a hand to that lovely gal! Other than that, expect the Roleplays to be updated as they come and go. Be sure to list your roleplay below so that I can put it on the list if I don't do it already!
Some new information could use some mentioning. We're trying to get a bit more organized here: (Old C:DDA Rec Room Rules, let me know if we still plan on keeping these.)
- A limit of one roleplay run by any given person at a given time. There may be some exceptions, but ask about it. Other games like suggestion games and normal forum games DO NOT count against this rule.
- After 5 days without posts, an RP is moved out of the active list and into a pending list and a vote will be held as to whether we should consider it dead or keep it going. If it remains untouched for 7 days, it'll be considered dead. If you wish to revive an RP, it can be brought back assuming you aren't running another RP.

Pending RPs
Notable Dead and/or Finished RPs
- That RP (http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=2107.0), the First and Only (not actually first OR only, but it sounds cool so yeah). Probably the most popular and longest RP, rivaled only by Spellbound. Unfortunately things started spiraling downwards and That RP kind of just... Stopped. You'll be missed, gang.
- The Highway (http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=4561.0). It started off as a simple post-apocalyptic road trip, then it became so much more. So much more.
- Spellbound (http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=6650.0). An emotional roller coaster of magical adventures. We started off as young novices, brought from Earth to learn the art of magic to an incredibly dysfunctional (and slightly sex obssessed...) group of powerful magi. But not powerful enough, as it turned out...
- Rise of the Dynasties (http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=5669.0) was a bit unique in that it played a bit like a strategy or simulation game. You were the head of your family, your dynasty if you will, and had to manage businesses and such. Some political stuff was planned for later on, and provided we'd gone on for long enough, our character's children would have taken over as head of the dynasty. Beyond that, there were also more traditional RP styled adventurers.
(If you have stuff I should add to the resources, please do tell me.)
