Through the Breach RPG - Penny Dreadful One Shot - The Ferryman

My group finished playing 'The Ferryman' last night and a good time was had by all. The game is a mix of investigative murder mystery mixed with the hunt for a villain than might not even exist - except in urban legend. It was very easy to personalise for our campaign and insert NPCs with which the player characters were already familiar. Adding extra scenes (to further some of the Fates) was likewise easily accomplished. Overall, it provided a relatively smooth, customisable story that took us four nights to complete. The only forewarning a Fate Master needs is to consider the set up for the mystery. It is very easy for the characters to become fixated on one aspect of the mystery, and completely ignore what is essentially the main plot. Be prepared to steer them 'back on track' as needed, but forewarned is fore-armed in this case. The adversaries were all appropriately scaled (my group has four one-shot adventures as experience) and provided suitable challenge. I will certainly mention the production values in closing. Wyrd has a great attention to detail and their books are simply wonderful from both an aesthetic and readability perspective. The layout supports the Fate Master to locate relevant sources of information and stats, whilst the art (most of it reused from the miniatures game) does not feel forced - the authors have clearly thought about the design, and the choice of images does show. I own many of Wyrd's books in print, and they are a pleasure to have on my shelf.
With the word of warning about preparedness, I have no issues in recommending this module to other Fate Masters.
