...Angels and Demons can’t cross over onto our plane. So, instead we get what I call half-breeds. The influence peddlers. They can only whisper in our ears. But a single word can give you courage, or turn your favorite pleasure into your worst nightmare. Those with the demon’s touch like those part angel, living alongside us. They call it the balance. I call it hypocritical bullshit....

The Premise There’s a world beneath the London you know, a world that smells of brimstone and blood, 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, and is presided over by an organisation so old, time has forgotten when the Library began. It’s a world where anything goes, where London is just another board for the game and 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

Wanted We need: those who are trying to understand and adapt to abilities -- the firestarter with the potential to make everything a bit smoky, the telekinetic fighting for control, the weather-manipulator with a few false starts to become residents at Haven, the in-game sanctuary for the struggling. We need Librarians, those well-controlled individuals who know exactly where the balance ought be between Heaven and Hell and who are unafraid to face off the denizens of both in order to fight for it. We need the self-interested, those souls striking out and fearless of repercussions. We need the rest of the Market family, the magical mafia themselves with fingers in all magical operations across the city!

Los Angeles
What does the name mean to you? The City of Angels is all about the dream: every night thousands lay their heads down to sleep and surrender their souls to the mercy of these streets. Some of them dream of bohemian ecstasy; they're artists, freaks, and geeks who find sanctuary in the exclusive communities. Some want their moment in the sun, seeking fame and fortune on the Platinum Triangle. Others have come for the safety to simply be as they are, to choose their own path whether it be down a back alley or a trim boulevard.
Yet others have come to drink up the nightmares of these sleeping citizens and snuff out every light that still burns in the dark.
They know the true secret of L. A., the pretty city on the beach. Its dreamers are not all human, some not even human-like, and they too have come to scratch out an existence here. Many are content to blend into human society, but many more are not. They live to destroy everything humans are made of, to subjugate them and consume their souls. These monsters have attracted powerful enemies from above who will lay down their lives for both Man and God. They are drawing battle lines down the very streets, and all who live here will choose a side... or none will survive.
Join us to visit the City of Angels, the city of dreams and nightmares, and watch fate slowly unveiling.
"The final story, the final chapter of western man, I believe, lies in Los Angeles."
