RIVERS OF LONDON CORE BOOK

“I think becoming a wizard is about discovering what’s real and what isn’t.” -Ben Aaronovitch

Magic has returned to our world. . .

In London, officers of “the Folly” – the Metropolitan Police Service’s special magic branch – take to the streets to solve cases, catch criminals, and come to grips with the “demi-monde” – those who have been irreversibly changed by magic.

Rivers of London RPG is based on the hugely successful series of novels by Ben Aaronovitch. You play newly recruited members of the Folly and, together, you solve mysteries and explore “Newtonian magic” against the backdrop of a vibrant and exciting modern London.

 • Setting information and history, including details of how Newtonian magic works in Rivers of London, plus spells derived from those in the novels

 • All the rules you need to play, including character creation, character advancement, and advice for the Game Moderator

 • Details on policing in London and how criminal investigations are carried out

 • “The Bookshop,” a standalone adventure that further introduces players to the game and magical world of Rivers of London
