Arecibo • Foundry VTT Access

Play Puerto Rican children who have been infused with alien powers in the middle of an island-wide crisis.

Everyone on the island knew that something was amiss when the power went out. In the municipality of Arecibo, frogs and crickets fell quiet, bringing stillness to the night. Slowly but surely, the children started to understand that something far worse than animals dwelled in their tropical paradise. When the island is abruptly blockaded by US Armed Forces, it is up to them to determine what has gone wrong when no adult will listen, and perhaps stop the very end of the world. In the far reaches of space, something stirs in response to the Arecibo message. Deep in the giant caverns of the island, something else answers. Stranger Things and the eldritch meets Puerto Rico in its darkest hours in Arecibo, a Fate World of Adventure by Nicolas Hornyak.

Arecibo requires Fate Core to play. This supplement contains:

• Streamlined rules to make young characters, including guidelines on appropriate aspects, skills, and stunts
• Essential background information for running games set in Arecibo, a city on the north coast of Puerto Rico, complete with drop in locations for your games
• Transmogrification rules in Fate to define the process of character change from a normal human into an instrument of eldritch power
• Alternate dimensions—and their inhabitants—reachable through Arecibo
• A complete starter adventure: The Wow Child

Author Nicolas Hornyak wrote Arecibo to honor his Puerto Rican roots in the days before Hurricane Maria, and Arecibo’s stories are now more relevant than ever. 

In Arecibo, somos fuertes. We are strong.

The Fate Adventures & Worlds line provides compact, rich, affordable, gorgeous settings with a ready-to-go adventure for GMs in a pinch. Buy one this afternoon, be ready to run this evening.

Updated to be compatible with FoundryVTT V10.
