“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”
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.
Currently seeking characters to join the Library, the ages-old organization which maintains balance between good and evil; the Merchants, purveyors of magic for sale and a mafia unto themselves; Haven, the crumbling old once-church which houses people whose lives and bodies and minds have been shattered by magic. For those unsure, we've an entire list of character ideas compiled by players and available for viewing here.

In 2023, the first Wizard University was opened in Ipswich, England. Offering an alternative to traditional internships, the school was a welcome relief to places such as St Mungos and Professional Quidditch Teams, where applicants far exceeded the vacancies. Two years later the school is thriving with nine offered subjects, co-ed fraternities, street games, and Quidditch tournaments. Gossip and rumours, pranks, and day-to-day mishaps make college life anything but boring. Just mind the occasional streaker.
WMU is a next generation Harry Potter game set at university. With a focus on character development, good storylines, and both friendships and relationships between characters, we’ve gone back to basics that make role play fun. We encourage good writing, journaling, threading, and our players to simply relax and have fun.
Open since August 2010 |
