Time	Event
5:22p	You think you know London, its streets and alleys like the creases of your palm. You don't know all its secrets. In its depths are places to buy amulets and tarot readings, a talisman that permits the wearer to manipulate luck hangs alongside bottles of herbs and demon's blood. Books so ancient the pages are tissue-thin jostle against postcards of buses and telephone boxes. There are bars where the clientele don't just find the dim light flattering, but downright necessary, and the smell of brimstone lingers in the nostrils. There are corners and recesses where magic isn't trickery or sleight of hand, but blood and bone and flesh and you might -- you might -- catch sight of feathers pure as snow and light, if you know where to go. If you know how to see. There's a pitched battle being fought for this other London and your London besides -- one in which every human in existence is being counted in a gamble for souls, Heaven and Hell trying to tip the scales and grave-faced Librarians holding them steady. And all the time, people go about their lives with a little pinch of something extra in a London you'll never see. gates_mods | at_the_gates | atthegates_ooc | Opens November 20th (Comment on this)
7:52p	~EIDOLON CITY~ Welcome to a world built from ideas and imagination What do you want from a game? Do you like things simple, or complex? Would you prefer to deal on one level, or work towards a larger end? Eidolon City is a game with a difference. It is a game which works on a number of levels, with elements which you can pick and choose. Maybe for you, Eidolon City is just a city. A noir world of the 30s and 40s where rival mafias war for control, where the nights are dark and dangerous. Where bright lights make the rich and beautiful glitter and gleam, but cast dark shadows to hide the shady, the homeless, the forgotten dregs of society. There in Eidolon City, characters live out their lives never realising that maybe there is more, that they are not actually what they seem. And some of them may never, in fact, find out the truth. Or maybe, for you, you want to know what's behind that curtain. Get involved with the origins of it all. Investigate the mysterious village, the theatre, the colleseum - all of which stand on the outskirts of the city, so very out of place, but seemingly accepted by all of the city inhabitants as a normal part of life. But yet, life there is different, odd things seem to happen if you go there. People change. Because Eidolon City is nothing like what it seems. Underneath it all, it is a world constructed from dreams. Nothing is real, nothing is true. And some of the citizens of Eidolon City are actually its creators. And they have other lives. Because they are dreaming, dreaming of this world whilst in reality they lie in comas, throughout the world. And maybe, eventually, one day they will wake up - if they can find their way out. The escape routes are there, if they find them. If they can realise the truth. If they even want to. But what would they be leaving behind? Because this world is there, and they have lives. And not everyone can wake up - because some of the people there are not dreamers at all. Some of the people are figments of the collective dream and imagination, needed aspects of the world, taken from ideas and concepts, characters and mythology. There would be so much to leave behind. So, what do you want from a game? The simple, or the more complex - it works both ways.
