Description:

The University of Reading is one of the top Universities in the UK, with a
range of departments where students can further their education. Student
life is not just about books and essays, it's about partying, finding
oneself and having a good time. The University of Reading is no exception
to this rule, and like all Universities it caters to all species.
Vampires, witches, and shapeshifters live and learn alongside the humans.

Anyone could be a supernatural creature; a fellow student, a campus
employee, your roommate, your lecturer, or even your partner. Not only
would you never know, but the idea that vampires, witches and
shapeshifters exist would never occur to you.

For many generations, Reading and it's University has been a safe place
for all species. In the last few weeks the bodies of two vampires (one
born and one made) and one shapeshifter (a wolf) have been found and
hidden just in time. If the bodies were found by the human authorities it
would announce the existence of the supernatural species. The vampires,
witches and shapeshifters are worried that a group of hunters has moved
into the area. Some are scared and are being careful, while others are
angry and out to stop the hunters before anyone else dies.

It is three days into Fresher's week at the University, the week before
classes officially start for the University year 2007/2008. Fresher's week
is in full swing as the University and older students welcome the new
first years (Freshers), helping them make new friends and settle in to
University life. There are lots of events, pub crawls, and lots of
parties. As everyone gets settled in, some of the supernatural creatures
are keeping an eye out for anyone suspicious as they try to identify the
hunters that have already killed three people.

See the website for more information, the rules and the application form.
