For those who may not yet be familiar, (Be)Neath is a fan-made Fallen London ttrpg. It's a free 50-page BPR/CoC adaptation booklet that you can find online at the Homebrewery (works best with Chrome) or download as a PDF from Google Docs.

To play (Be)Neath, you'll need some basic knowledge of the BRP/CoC game system. If you're new to it, you can check out the official CoC Quick Start Rules, just in case!

We're also working on a separate Hallowmas adventure module (which we're currently playing) and a full scenario (scheduled for next year after our usual D&D Christmas adventure). These will be released (always for free!), along with updates to the intro booklet, after we've completed the respective beta-testing runs.

So here goes the first player's character...

Harold Floofbert de Whiskersy

(a.k.a. The Esoteric Entrepreneur)

At a mere 2 years old, Harold Floofbert de Whiskersy exudes an air of sophistication beyond his age. His young adult cavy form is an exquisite display of snowy white fur, meticulously groomed to perfection, setting off the deep crimson hue of his eyes. The contrast is arresting, drawing attention to the enigma that is this scion of the Whiskersy family.

Born as the first heir to the Whiskersy lineage, Harold's destiny seemed interwoven with the threads of the family textile factory, where the coveted byssus is spun and worked into fabrics of unparalleled quality. Guided by the wisdom passed down through generations, he embraces the weight of his heritage with an air of responsibility that befits his status.

Yet, beneath the layers of aristocratic refinement lies a clandestine passion that ignites Harold's nights. He is drawn to the occult and the esoteric, an affinity that he keeps well-hidden from the prying eyes of London's elite. In the dimly lit corners of hidden libraries and whispered conversations, he immerses himself in the mystique of the Neath, seeking secrets that lie beyond the boundaries of the mortal world.

Harold's ambitions stretch further than the family's flourishing business. With a heart that beats in rhythm with the heart of London itself, he yearns to ascend the social ladder, his sights set on the upper echelons of society. To those around him, he is the embodiment of genteel sophistication, attending lavish soirées and conversing effortlessly on topics of culture and business. Yet, his true aspirations are known only to a select few.

As the clock ticks in the shadowy corners of Victorian London, Harold Floofbert de Whiskersy endeavors to master not only the intricacies of the family's textile empire but also the hidden mysteries of the Neath. Driven by a desire to intertwine the arcane and the practical, he walks a fine line between the light of his day-to-day life and the powerful allure of the Correspondence. Will he succeed in weaving his fate into a tapestry that marries the realms of business and the occult? Only time, and the fickle fortunes of the Neath, hold the answer...
