After a few years, Faerie Tales of New York has restarted but there is room for more!
Faerie What? Huh?
*************************
Recent discoveries have changed things. The news is disturbing. Fairies living in New York City have had to deal with a range of problems, most of them the same problems humans have, and many of the rest brought on by themselves.
They have never had to face someone, or something, who has gone to great lengths to do them harm. Human? Faerie Folk gone bad? Both? Whatever it is, this new nemesis has one thing that is of great concern: a knowledge of old school sorcery. Okay, two things: A knowledge of old school sorcery and a commercial electrician's license.
It's a worrisome combination, and it could make for interesting times

“What if I told you.. that guy… yeah, that old guy over there, at the end of the bar, was a Leprechaun? He’s the owner of this place, and he's one of the oldest Fey in the city. The Fey call him Codgery Tom, and he’s been here since… oh, since he came over with Irish immigrants in the early 1800’s. He was oath-bound to a certain family, so when they moved… so did he. But he figured out how to make things work here. He invested his pot of gold on Wall Street, doubled it many times over, bought this building and a half dozen others, and opened this pub, and now it’s a haven for Fey folk in the city. Doesn't need the money, he lives off investment income. But he keeps the place going... for the Fey here.
“You see those two gals? The one on the right, she’s a being that’s part Air Elemental, part Fairy, called a Sylph, and she’s a dancer…”
How do you know that?
“That she’s a dancer? Skinny, strong legs, hair up in a bun, dancing shoes sticking out of her bag. You have to pay attention to things like… oh, you mean that she’s a Sylph? I’ll get to that. Anyway, her friend is a Nature Fairy. Like a Pixie. Nature Fairies are&... well they’re sweet but they can be a little naive. They all believe that they have to take care of nature, because without them the dew won’t form and the birds won’t know how to fly south for the winter. It never occurs to them that because there are so few Nature Fairies, most birds somehow manage to migrate without a Nature Fairy briefing them on the route and giving them a reassuring hug before they go.
“And those guys… he’s a Troll, and the others are Goblins. You’d be surprised how many Goblins work in sanitation. Mostly, Fey avoid public work because there’s scrutiny and records and all that… But Goblins found a way to infiltrate the city bureaucracy, and they like it. Especially Sanitation. They have tunnels under some of the landfills, you know.”
This is the silliest stuff I ever heard.
“That’s what I thought. Look through this.”
Oh my god.

Concealed by the Veil, the Fey Folk are alive and well in New York City, today. This game focuses on a private, secretive agency that knows them, and tries to solve their problems, before their problems become everybody's problems.
Get your Faerie on. Find your inner Faerie. Not Vampires. Not Werewolves. Faerie Magic. Faeries and their kin. And Humans, of course, we've got them too.
