TERMINUS

Systemless Horror Scenario by Patchwork Fez Games

London’s new Underground line has finally opened…
and people have begun to go missing at Tottenham Court Road.

Strange disappearances, esoteric architecture, and buried secrets combine in this system-neutral horror scenario for tabletop roleplaying games, set in modern London.

TERMINUS is an investigative horror scenario, with a hint of Lovecraftian mythos, set around the opening of the Elizabeth line in May 2022. 

Much of the action takes place in and around Tottenham Court Road, inspired by its peculiar geometries and troubling mosaic artworks. Other key locations are scattered across London, and the narrative draws on the weird but true history of the city.

TERMINUS is intended to run in 1–2 sessions and with a variety of systems. Suggested frames for player groups and notes on scenario structure are included. 

TERMINUS comprises 60 pages, featuring original artwork, and comes with a digital collection of:

• Two maps, to use as player handouts.
• Key artworks, which can also be used as player handouts.
• Images for use as VTT backgrounds.
• A link to location reference photos.
• A link to a custom game soundtrack, created by Sail.
• Links to genuine archaeology reports, which can be used as player handouts.

Hard copies of TERMINUS are available through Patchwork Fez Games.

TERMINUS is part of This Blighted Isle – a series of system-flexible horror scenarios set in modern Britain.

Note: TERMINUS is not affiliated with Transport for London, the London Underground, the Paolozzi Foundation, the Museum of London Docklands, St Patrick’s Church, or any organisation that bears a resemblance to entities appearing in this narrative.

TERMINUS is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
