[[https://diveronarpg.tumblr.com/ Di Verona]] is a Tumblr-based roleplaying environment that takes the works of {{Creator/William Shakespeare}} and transports it to a lavish, modern day Verona [[{{WretchedHive}} overrun by crime]], violence and [[{{VillainWorld}} warring mafia syndicates]]. On one side are the Capulets, arms dealers that run everything east of the Castelvecchio Bridge; on the other are the Montagues, drug traffickers who hold their power in the west. The source material name is used as a character's mafia alias, as opposed to the character's full given name (i.e. "Juliet", Juliana Capulet).
The roleplay was originally launched in November 2016 and ran until September 2017. It was revamped and reopened for a second round in August 2018 and is currently running at present.
