19	''[[http://brandnewdays.proboards.com/ Brand New Days]]'' is a [[PlayByPostGames Play-By-Post roleplaying game]] set in the ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'' universe, in the year 2014.

21	The plot follows a time distortion that has brought together Persona Users from different timelines, along with the areas of Iwatodai, Sumaru and Inaba becoming easily accessible through trains. The Dark Hour has been brought back, along with Tartarus and a new dungeon to conquer, Yggdrasil.

23	The site was ongoing for at least two years, with one restart, and eventually lost interest around 2012.
