X-Project is an X-Men/Marvel movie universe roleplaying game which began on LiveJournal and transitioned to Dreamwidth in 2017. It’s been running consistently since May 2003. The main focus is, of course, X-Men and mutants, but there are other Marvel elements incorporated as well. We also try to blend comics in where we can, while keeping it realistic (or as realistic as a roleplay about mutants can be). For example we have a Susan Storm/Invisible Woman in game, but she’s a mutant.
Pretty much anything in the Marvel universe is fair game, as long as you don’t mind putting in the effort to make it work with our canon. We actually have quite a few non-mutant Marvel canon characters who have been reworked for the sake of the game (including Johnny Storm/Human Torch, Amanda Sefton/Daytripper, Wade Wilson/Deadpool, Clinton Barton/Hawkeye, Matt Murdock/Daredevil — there are more but those are off the top of my head).
We have 30-something players in game — sounds huge I know, but I promise we’re some of the friendliest people you ever will meet. We’re all a bit nerdy (obviously, we’re roleplayers), and if you get us going we don’t shut up, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Our playerbase is also international – we’ve got players from all over the world so nobody is out of place.
But on to the actual game - as stated before, we’re Dreamwidth-based. How does that work? It’s mostly through logs — scenes written between two or more characters through emails, that are posted to the log community when completed. We also have other communities for things like texting and emailing and game-wide posts for other characters to comment on. Each character also has their own DW account as a “personal” journal, where they can post just about anything — announcements of good news, frustrations over bad days, drunken three a.m. posts about pancakes. The sky’s the limit.

We also run plots which again are written beforehand and posted at the appropriate time. If you can imagine it, we’ve probably done a plot for it. Hell we just ended the world. There’s pretty much no limit there, as long as you can make it work.

Looking at some more of my old art from the Cable & Deadpool days. Domino was always a really fun supporting character— although for some reason I always made her sort of happier than she’s usually portrayed…
My take on her was that her tough persona was sort of an act she’d put on to survive in the hyper-masculine mercenary world that she lived in, and living with her mutation that’s impossible for her to hide. She has to be prepared for all the shit she has to constantly put up with.
But that’s not what she’s like inside, which is the side that Cable can see in her.
This was largely an excuse to convince the editor, Nicole Boose, to allow me to draw her in her pink tiara, which Nicole thought was too girly.
No Nicole, it’s the pink tiara that is the real Domino lol
