There’s a world beneath the London you know: a world that smells of brimstone and blood, and where magic lives alongside the mundane. It’s a world where you can buy abilities at a travelling Market; where when the circus rolls into town, it brings nightmares with it; a world presided over by an organisation so old that time has forgotten when the Library began. It’s a world where anything goes, where London is just another board for the game, a gamble for souls is taking place, and you might — just might — encounter one of Heaven’s own or a demon amid the crowds on the underground. And they play to win.

Influenced by Hellblazer, Neil Gaiman and urban fantasy, At the Gates is an original supernatural game with noir themes, focusing on the lives of those jostling along in the magic world in shadowy other-London. Magic is harsh; horror is common; character realism is encouraged.
