Godswar: The 100 is a SL-based roleplaying game and mini-MMO which plays out on a single sim, and it has a cool premise:
"[It's] based around the idea that the Gods and mythical creatures are real," explains player and longtime SLer Arwyn Quandry. "The lore is incredibly deep -- you can be there for months or years and not know everything about the story, which was originally written by the owners as a tabletop roleplaying campaign. It had two previous versions, New Babylon and Lost Vegas, but the current version is based on alternate timeline at the very beginning of the story, where 100 people are discovering that they have supernatural abilities and being drawn into a battle that will end civilization as we know it. And yes, they die -- it's a permadeath sim with an advancing plotline driven by the players, all grounded in a real-world roleplaying system (Tri Stat dX)."
The sim's owners, she adds, are Alarich Meinster and Kelearis Shenzhou, and a veteran admin, Zhantee Fallen, gives tours to visitors. I especially like how this is designed as a mini-MMO for just 100 players. Here's the official site (where the badass image above was gleaned). Click here to teleport directly into the game world.

Woah! Thanks Hamlet! I did want to correct you on one thing though - it's not just 100 players. There are 100 Powers to start the sim off, as well as any number of humans and Remnants (Gods and Creatures from previous wars). So though we're at the point where half of the powers have been killed off, there are still plenty of opportunities to get involved. After the next ten powers die, even more races will become available as those Gods create their own races of beings to assist them.
