A naive and
impressionable young man has become attached to Eternity, an eccentric
punk and latest belle of London's underground music scene. Now he's
disappeared, Eternity's music has taken a strange turn towards the
otherworldly and Eternity himself has been preaching about the coming of
a mystical force to claim the world for itself. Along with his small
cabal of contacts, including a tattooist who can turn his designs into
powerful wards and sigils and an ex-cop hallucinogen dealer. Eternity
plans to build the ultimate instrument to allow his strange god to
materialise.
Athirat Rising is a character-driven investigation into the disappearance of Christopher Foster a wannabe punk in London. Features include:
- Eccentric characters with identifiable tics and traits, strengths and weaknesses to help GMs bring them to life and experience the weirder members of London's underground.
- Tattoo based magic with tips and ideas for incorporating it into your game along with villains that utilise it
- Grimy and atmosphere-rich locations from Eternity's otherworldly apartment that is starting to dissociate from our reality to the Dirty Palm, the watering hole for many of the less desirable and outright nasty members of the scene.
-Handy Character Reference Sheet and Handouts for the players
This scenario is ideal for 2-5 investigators and is set in modern day London. The scenario is system free, though guidance is provided on running all characters and encounters. The adventure focuses on player interaction and puzzle solving and should be enjoyable for any group looking for an investigative game to run for an evening.
Recommended Systems: Any system designed to emulate a real-world/urban fantasy setting should be able to run this scenario with few issues. Atlas Games' Unknown Armies, White Wolf's World of Darkness and Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu all work well and Pelgrane Press' GUMSHOE system would work to emphasise the investigative elements.
Content Warnings: This product contains much drug use and discussion of hallucinations and unreality as well as violence, due to the nature of the setting and genre.
As always our products are always available only at DriveThruRPG, for $2.99/£1.93
If you enjoy this scenario, please let us know either here or on the reviews over at DTRPG.

As you may have noticed, Athirat Rising has not materialised just yet. Rest assured it is in the very final stages of completion but a few technical hitches have prevented release as soon as we had hoped.
This is just a small operation so we hope you'll forgive the delay and Athirat should be available by next Monday at the latest. Thanks for your patience!
