Voidheart Symphony

Facilitator: 
Luke Walker

There's a wound in the world, and nobody seems to care. You've seen it all around you - the glint of hellfire in an abusive manager's eyes, the hungry fangs in the mouth of a debt collector, the twisting shadow of a corrupt politician. But everyone around you is too complacent, downtrodden, or busy to fight.

But you have found a cheat code in reality that allows you to stand up and rebel. The wound is a nightmare castle, tucked away in backstreets and disused stairwells: a void seeking out the worst predator and provoking them. You’ll dive into that castle, steal its power, and see how that predator topples when the void abandons them.

Voidheart Symphony is an RPG of gothic urban fantasy injected with fantastical action and the survival horror. The characters are ordinary people who have found a way to fight against everyday horrors by venturing into a realm that reflects the dark psyche of those who cause pain with unearned power. Voidheart Symphony draws on a inspirational blend of Persona 5, Inception, and Silent Hill.

The RPG uses a Powered by the Apocalypse system which facilitates the players to contribute to the story in meaningful ways both in the real world and that other place.

By the Will of the Gods

“I have spent the last few days in the grip of an unpleasant feeling. Wherever I look I see strange, unsettling signs... It started with the bizarre flights patterns of a flock of starlings, slowly fading into the northern sky. Then, I noticed that the stump of a long dead tree along the road going north had started producing new sprouts.

“I stayed up for the past two nights to observe the stars, trying to draw an auspicium, an answer from the gods, but all I got was silence and a terrible headache. I’m afraid I’m too old for this! That’s why I need your help: You will travel north, to the castrum of Augustodunum. There you will start an investigation and report to me with the results.”

- Marcus Nepos, an magister of the cursus auguralis

South Yorkshire Tales

Facilitator: 
Ayla Walker and Luke Walker

"There’s more to the world than most of us know. Academic wizards and gutter mages, vampires and werewolves, Men in Black working for a secret religious order and a police division investigating Fortean crimes. The cities and the very landscape encompass haunted places and lost bubbles of history, faerie courts and places of power.

"But you know. You’re at the edge of the Hidden World. Maybe you’ve seen it and can’t ignore it. Maybe you’re from the Hidden World, but with ties to humanity."

This game is set in a modern fantasy UK and inspired by the PC Grant series and Being Human TV show. The players are the South Yorkshire Irregulars, a band of people on the edge of the Hidden World who find themselves involved in cases and investigating mysteries that no one else can help with (or, to be honest, want to help with).

In this game, the GM is Ayla who is an new young GM emerging from Adventure Squad, and assisted by Luke. Its is suitable for all ages, including teenage players.
