Curiosities is a modern day urban fantasy game. It has elements of the supernatural, fantastical, spookiness, horror, and lighthearted shenanigans. It is the story of a town that sits in a strange liminal space between the material world of earth that we know and other realms, a place where the barrier is thin. The town itself is influenced by a “curse” as the magic that leaks from those realms transforms some of its residents into supernatural beings.

Our story focuses on the town of Hollygrove, that thin barrier between our world and others, those other realms, how they impact the town, and how its residents impact them in return. While other such “thin spots” exist within the world, we will not currently be exploring them. Our stories will revolve around a bit of slice of life, what happens in our world when things from other realms leak through, what happens to those realms when we influence them in turn, and stories of personal evolution as one is changed by their own environment.

Curiosities is a spin-off of the Curse at Ciprian College season from The Network, Clockwork’s previous game. It exists in the same universe as Ciprian but is set in a different location with its own version of the curse, new realms, and new Masques. No familiarity with The Network or Curse at Ciprian College seasons is required to play this game.
