Now Playing

Now Playing is a game that blends the rules and structure of both television shows and roleplaying into a game that plays lke a roleplaying game, but feels like a TV show. It has the same basic structure as all roleplaying games do. It also follows the same formats and standards that all TV shows adhere to. With Now Playing, you will be able to take the setting of any television show that you already know, and create and run your own episodes of the show as a roleplaying game. You don't need to worry about the game system. Now Playing is flexible enough to take the work out of adapting any setting into a game.

Television shows have a certain atmosphere, or "feel" to them. Now Playing preserves that feel (but without those boring commercials). Choose a format, create your show, build an episode (whether it be the pilot, the season finale, or just a normal episode), and then run it. Now Playing tells you how to craft your shows and episodes so that they feel like a real T.V. show. In fact, Now Playing can even be used to make existing television-setting RPG's feel more like the show they're based on.

Now Playing is based on the popular Fudge gaming engine, which makes it easy to read, learn and play. Creating characters usually takes less than 10 minutes. When creating your shows, you won't need to make any changes to the game system. You know the show, Now Playing gives you the tools.

The Now Playing rulebook comes with a complete show and one episode. The show has been created specifically for Now Playing and is not a real TV show. This show is fully defined as a complete setting for Now Playing, but can also be used as an example of how a show can be created.

The Foundation for Paranormal Investigation was founded by a very wealthy and eccentric man who has good reason to believe in ghosts. He decided to start the foundation as a means to learn all there is to know about the mysteries of world. He assembled a team of scientists, psychics, investigators, scholars and religious experts to delve into these mysteries and turn fable into fact. With his backing, other teams were formed all across the U.S., and even abroad, creating a large network of cells that are all geared toward the investigation of the paranormal.

Ghosts of the Lady Grace

The Monroe Inn, on the North Shore of Massachusetts, has had a long history of ghost sightings. These hauntings date back to a shipwreck that happened within sight of the inn over a hundred years ago. The spirits have haunting the staff and guests of the inn ever since, and it has always been good for business…until now. Something has caused the spirits in the Monroe Inn to act up and to lash out at the guests. The Foundation for Paranormal Investigation has been called in to investigate what may be their most chilling case yet!

Ghosts of the Lady Grace is a two-part adventure for the Now Playing Roleplaying Game. It comes ready to play with a complete cast of supporting characters, and can be run standalone, or as part of an ongoing series.

This adventure is set in the FPI mini-setting that comes with Now Playing. FPI is a supernatural thriller setting that takes place in the world of today, and involves hunting ghosts and other paranormal phenomena the way "real" paranormal investigators do. The setting will be fully expanded into its own complete roleplaying game called Strange World. This adventure is fully compatible with both games.

Because Now Playing is based on the Fudge engine, Ghosts of the Lady Grace can be played as a straight Fudge game without the need of Now Playing, although you would be lacking the setting that will help you run the game.
