Description

If you liked Mulder & Scully, you will enjoy this...

When FBI Special Investigators Tell & Marian of the X Files section investigate the disappearance of a child at a British seaside holiday camp they find themselves immersed in a world that is grotesque, bizarre and quintessentially English. Can they trust their allies, and what is the meaning of the strange lights seen in the sky, and sinister piping music heard echoing from the woods?

Characters include the mysterious Carnacki, showman and raconteur, Madame Rose Lee, the fortune teller, and British Intelligence contacts Green & Brown with their local contact Prenderghast.

This is not a humourous game - it's actually X Files played straight, an espionage thriller. You will be moving around the site as undercover operatives, collecting INTEL, finding clues, puzzling out their meaning and finally formulating a plan and implementing it.

The game is set in a holiday camp: WYSIWYG. Players will be moving around between chalets and other locations in the dark, and while this is a non-contact game it will not be suitable for those of a very nervous disposition, though mobility issues will be addressed so sign up not worrying you will have to climb cliffs, swim rivers etc, and then discuss your limits with us.

In many ways the game is a traditional freeform - but investigations and visiting locations and uncovering clues will make the information on the character sheets more meaningful, and there is a reasonable chance of characters dying after the first hour. Players of deceased characters will however be co-opted in to the GM staff; you won't be left alone.

This is a slight departure from the traditional UK Freeforms model, but only in as far as it draws inspiration from Cthulhu Live and other theatre style LARPS. We hope to provide a thought provoking and rather spooky experience. :)
