Ravensgate is an FRPG setting created using the revised edition of Villains & Vigilantes by Jeff Dee and Jack Herman, published by Fantasy Games Unlimited. The player-characters from The Foundry superhero group were created using its rules, and the ongoing campaign combines FTF and PBEM elements.

This website is a work of interactive fiction. Any fictional characters’ resemblance to real-world persons, living or dead, is coincidental and unintentional. Some real-world politicians and public and historical figures may be named but purely for background purposes.

Atlas Games’ On The Edge CCG and the writings of William S. Burroughs inspired many of the background characters. Throckmorton Device and Al-Amarja are trademarks of Atlas Games, as features of its On The Edge CCG and Over The Edge FRPG. Throckmorton and d'Aubaine family histories in The Foundry are inspired by both games, which are copyrights and trademarks of Atlas Games. Also, any Star Trek–related references, homages or fan-fic are in no way intended to infringe upon the trademarks of Paramount Pictures.

The gaming group views role-playing, not roll-playing, as a form of four-dimensional interactive storytelling. While the Gamemaster presents the overall plot outline, how the plot develops is according to the motivations, actions and interactions of both player- and non-player characters. That having been said, any prejudices and other oddball viewpoints portrayed herein are strictly those of individual characters, and they are portrayed in the interest of pseudo-realism.

We hope you will enjoy this story as it unfolds.
