In Abyss Awakens, you play a Fallen Angel newly risen in the battered body of a human host whose mind and memories have imprinted upon your own. You’re not alone—others have emerged just like you into a British Home Front coping with a World War against a demon-run Imperial Russia that is swiftly invading Europe.

Come to terms with the changes that wrack the world since you were cast in the pit. Learn how to live in hiding as a human. Reconcile the differences between your own thoughts and feelings and the emotions and memories left behind by the now departed human host.

Past communities of Fallen have tried to tame the small town of Broseley—and failed. Now it’s your turn.

Search the shadows of the town for clues about your predecessors’ disappearance. Read the signs, follow the whispers, and question the loyalties of those around you. In this mystery-heavy LARP, every interaction could lead to salvation—or your own unravelling.

Manipulate the everyday civilian life in Broseley, from ration lines and victory gardens to spiritual crises and sabotage. Shroud your efforts so the mortals don’t know what you are, while quietly pushing your goals as only an ancient celestial being can. Be careful – you must keep morale high lest the town fall apart into paranoia and despair.

Just remember: not all the Fallen in town share your vision. Others work in the shadows to turn your efforts to ruin.

Cruel Fallen have been corrupted by long years spent trapped in cursed artefacts. Now they manipulate and warp humanity while their cults stalk the shadows. Criminal conspiracies take advantage of the chaos of the home front for profit. And the war against Imperial Russia threatens all with air raids and dropped aberrations.

Identify your enemies. Study their methods. And unpick their efforts – through negotiation, violence or guile!

Choose from a list of perks that cover your skills and lores (magical spells) that you can cast! Build your Fallen Form by selecting which abilities your character keeps cloaked within their true form!

This game uses a system where if you have an ability or skill that says you can do the thing, you can do the thing, reliably and consistently. Combats are managed swiftly through a simple dice-based system – 2d6 with cumulative +1 bonuses given depending on applicable skills and powers. You name them and we add them!

You will be invited to meet with the Game Masters, in person or online, to build your character, explain the setting, and get you up to speed with the campaign so far. As part of this process, we will build ties to the town of Broseley (friends and family of your character) and hooks into different plots. You will also select a faction that will assist you to get involved. This game is very collaborative so the factions are not at great odds with each other which will means you can more easily engage with all of the player characters in the game.
