That's what the residents of Sedgewood Manor say, anyway, and they'd
know best. He's their whackjob of a ringleader, after all. It seems
like he might have sold their souls, too, without letting them in on
it. But there's nothing anyone can do about it now. In fact, there
was nothing anyone could do about it a century ago, when the first
unwitting folks became trapped in Sedgewood. They're still there,
going about their business along with everyone else who's shown up
between then and now. But it could be worse, right? They could look
like they're a hundred years old.

Cray himself is the only one who's able to escape the dimensional
distortion (or whatever it is). He comes and goes as he pleases, is
away more often than not, and after long absences usually returns
with someone new in tow. This leaves his ragtag collection of
supernaturally-gifted circus performers, freaks, runaways, and
accidental callers to figure out why their manor house has started
changing.

The idea of a changing house might sound a little strange, but
"changing" is the best word for it that anyone's come up with so far.
New doors and hallways that lead nowhere pop up from time to time,
even though no one's built them. Whispers come from unoccupied
corners. Glimpses of strange people can be caught in certain areas of
the garden.

Can Cray's collection manage to deal with these oddities while still
maintaining what's left of their sanity and keeping up with the petty
rivalries and romances that have been going on for a hundred years?

Intrigued? Come check out Sedgewood Surreality, a unique game with
trappings of horror, humor, fantasy, and probably anything else you
can come up with. Actual play begins on July 16.  Until then, we're
playing the get-to-know-you game and waiting for characters to come
in.
