Try It Out: Rivers of London (In Person)
December 16, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Join us for a Try-It-Out of Chaosium’s newest RPG, Rivers of London.
Pregenerated characters will be provided. We will use a combination of Roll20 for visuals and dice rolling and Jitsi for video and audio.
In Rivers of London: the Roleplaying Game, players take on the roles of newly recruited members of the London Metropolitan Police Service’s special magic branch, aka “the Folly.” You will solve mysteries, catch criminals, and come to grips with the “demi-monde”—those who have been irreversibly changed by magic.
The Bookshop
“Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining me. Earlier, I received a telephone call from our colleagues at the Charing Cross Primary Crime Unit. There was an incident late last night at Stonewaters Bookshop on New Row that they believe will be of interest to us. One of the booksellers, a Mr Warwick Anderson, was assaulted at approximately 12:30 am while rearranging a display in the bookshop’s basement. Mr Anderson, though somewhat concussed, managed to telephone the emergency services. The call handler sent a response team to the bookshop, where they had to force an entry in order to render assistance.
“Our colleagues from Charing Cross carried out a search of the premises while Mr Anderson was being seen by the attending paramedics. They found no alarms tripped and no evidence of a break-in, nor of anything having been stolen. However, there were obvious signs of a disturbance in the basement matching the description given to them by the victim.
“I would like you to interview Mr Anderson to establish his recollection of events. He is awaiting you at the Cappuccino Lounge, also on New Row. Then, I would like you to visit the bookshop and carry out an inspection, including an Initial Vestigium Assessment, to determine whether this is, indeed, a Falcon case. Ms Saffron Jackson, the store’s manager, will be on hand to escort you. The bookshop usually opens at 11:00 am on a Sunday, and, by all accounts, Ms Jackson is keen to resume business at the earliest possible convenience.
“Report back here to me once you have completed your initial inquiries. I await your findings with interest.”
