I’ve run long campaigns before but I’ve never really returned to characters in the way we did for this game. Everyone, myself and the players included, loved the characters and the setting of the Headmaster Ritual. First, the Game Episode 1 Episode 2 Episode 3 Episode 4 Episode 5 And previously, The Headmaster Ritual and \[…\]

Our team of intrepid occult investigators solve all the problems before them with the absolute minimum of casualties and complications.

There’s a big f’ing spider, the players default to the perpetual plan A, and Ithaca. Always. Lies.

Events. Repeat. Events repeat. Emilyn talks to Barrymore, Rudy talks to Tom Finn, and Martin meets the love of his life.

Jenny, Rudy, and Martin (and Ithaca) attend a music festival on Summerisle, meet some old friends, and shoot a bear.

Jenny, Rudy, and Martin (and another old friend) meet up again in a tavern on Summerisle, on the evening of a very strange music festival.

Chris, Gino, and I got together last night to have a brief, awkward discussion of our FATE Accelerated game.

The Prince of Providence was our game of organized crime and vampirism set in Providence, RI in 1979. These are some of my notes and ideas that inspired and informed the writing of this game (from the GM side). You’d get more out of this article if you listened to this game first.

I’ll take you through each episode of the Headmaster Ritual and explain a little about the process of running and playing this game.

In this series, we will list the material that inspired a particular game adventure. This Appendix N is all about The Headmaster Ritual, our game of FATE which is ALL ABOUT music, magic, and 1980’s England.

When Accounts Are to be Settled, A Tuna Fish Shall Be Owed

As promised, everyone is cats.

One Legged Pete – our occult detectives investigate author Thomas Lavinius, meet some family, look into getting library cards, find out the true nature of watercumbers, and end the day slightly changed.

The Backseat is for Being Quiet – our occult detectives investigate Liliana Bunt, designer and occult advisor for Barrymore and the Misfortunes, and get more than they bargained for at the train station.

Our occult detectives are interviewed by police about their compatriots.

This series is meant to be a companion to the podcasts we release. They will likely not all be as long as this post and will probably normally come out shortly after the last episode. However, I have a lot to say about The Headmaster Ritual and have decided to do a preemptive strike on our \[…\]

A cast of four occult detectives drunkenly and ineffectively investigate a rock band that may or may not be committing magical/occult crimes, and who may or may not be missing a lead singer. Played using the FATE rules (loosely).
