Players will receive an income of ducatto at the start of each interactive. More rarely, players may be offered alternative forms of income, typically as a result of downtime or uptime actions.")
• 14:1614:16, 5 October 2026 The Bar (hist | edit) [1,846 bytes] Bink (talk | contribs) (Created page with "The Basilica de San Cerveza is a dingy bar and occult hot spot in central Cambridge. It is a hang out for various individuals with an interest in magic and the occult. Those who want to destroy it, those who want to study it and of course those who want to use it. The bar serves as the Cambridge hub of the Cambridge Branch of the CDI and provides information, jobs and a place to meet for those volunteers willing to try to prevent the eldritch incursions from getting wors...")
• 13:5213:52, 5 October 2026 Regular Order (hist | edit) [1,316 bytes] Bink (talk | contribs) (Created page with "Your regular order is the method by which you deliver calls in combat, tying to your regular order at the bar. There are four choices - two for delivering melee calls, and two for delivering ranged calls. These can be changed in-play, but doing so may be costly. (The calls delivered in this way depend on drinks from the Bar. The selection available can be increased in-play.) Melee: Shots: 3 calls/ encounter, no cooldown Pints: Unlimited melee calls, 10 second cooldown be...")

Once they begin, however, the bar plans to run them every week, with a widely-coveted prize available: the greatest drink the bar can produce, the Copa de Cambio. Rumour has it that just one drop can - and does - change your life. ==How to Play== Once the Murder Mystery nights begin,...")

Downtime can be used to do one of: *Keep an ear to the ground and see what you hear about. *Investigate a group or topic. *Engineer an encounter to happen next interactive. *Acquire an extra income. *Take part in an opportunity offered in uptime. *Untrain one skill. Downtime happens between the linear and the next interactive, except for the Untrain action which can be done before th...")

The vibe is urban fantasy, with Cthulu mythos elements and a countercultural feel - long wool overcoats, leather jackets and flower power dresses are all applicable. We will not be making judgements of historical accuracy, but we do have some guidelines to fit the vibes of the setting: ===Inspirations:=== Books: *The Dresden Files *Skulduggery Pleasant *Bartimaeus YA series *The Cthulu Myth...")

The wound card has a description of what the wound is and how it affects you, both mechanically and in terms of roleplaying. The wound will also have a method of treatment if treatment is possible. Treatments will vary and are specified on the wound cards. Wounds typically have multiple ways to cure them, via skill application, dedicated roleplay, or the application of r...")

All characters may use a 1 handed weapon of up to 42”. A character using melee calls may also use a 24” weapon or a buckler in their off hand. Drinks, which allow calls, will be available from the bar at the first interactive; taking a second drink replaces the call from the first. Additional drinks (and calls) will become available during play once they are discovered by the PCs. Some monsters will possess elemental...")
• 13:2813:28, 5 October 2026 Astral Projection (hist | edit) [2,542 bytes] Bink (talk | contribs) (Created page with "Astral projection is the art of throwing your spirit outside your body and into the aether. Naturally, for the majority of people, this would be a thoroughly one-way process, with the soul simply lost wandering the ethereal plane for eternity. Wardens, however, have managed to master themselves enough to anchor their soul more strongly to their bodies, allowing them to project themselves into the aether and return safely. While astral projecting, Wardens have reported b...")
• 13:2713:27, 5 October 2026 Rituals (hist | edit) [4,286 bytes] Bink (talk | contribs) (Created page with "==Runes & Rituals== Rituals are long lasting magical effects that Occultists and occult entities can cast on individuals or objects. Rituals are made up of magical runes, in a specific order, which determine the effect of the ritual. Once cast, the effect of a ritual is permanent unless it is overwritten by another ritual with no ill effects - in base play, a character can only be under the effect of one ritual at once. Rituals, their rules, and the runes that create...")

To combat this, the Ministry has graciously provided information on Contracts: Magically binding documents which enforce certain behaviours. Officials, thanks to their Ministry connections, are able to create and enforce these contracts, though they are not freeform: instead, contracts rely on a collection of Writs, each of which is one self-contained clause. Most...")

To most Scholars of the occult, this makes them a fascinating challenge. The process by which OOPAs are assembled, disassembled, and investigated is through a Séance. A Séance is mostly a puzzle - hence it being a Scholar skill. Séances must be led by a Scholar, as nobody else has the mental training to take apart an occult object without breaking it. However, as channelling the Séance takes...")

These will be presented as a card with a new version of that skill, as well as the conditions to unlock it. Once unlocked, that becomes the way that skill works for you from then on.

Poverty was common, particularly in the north, rationing continued with no sign of stopping, and railways, roads and shipyards struggled to function. Fear slowly increased of another war on the horizon; tensions we...")
