Collegium

Have you ever wanted to set institutional policy, argue with fellow academics about research papers, or campaign with your students’ union against the injustices of a reactionary establishment… but in an environment that includes fae exchange students, a dragonology department, and a lively debate on the ethics of necromancy? 

Well then, DO WE HAVE THE MEGAGAME FOR YOU! 

Collegium takes some of its inspiration from the Oxbridge colleges, mixes in a healthy dose of Unseen University and the Worst Witch, and adds a pinch of Rivers of London and some other mythological elements. Yes, the bursar needs to balance the books and carefully consider the new financial climate in which the college is operating… but the magister (head of the college) wants a new floating enchanted library, so find that cash from somewhere! 

Teams are mostly based on the 8 colleges of the University of Hexford (rather than their friendly rivals in the “Odder Place”, Wyrdbridge), made up of a magister, bursar, senior tutor, and student envoy. Each college has its own culture and traditions, and in addition to these roles there are also those of the University of Hexford Libraries, Museums and Heritage department, the central university staff (“life would be so much simpler if the colleges just did what we told them!”), and the Students’ Union has its own stake in the game too. 

Who will take home the Pegasus cup? Who will receive a visit from the Ethics Committee for trying to crossbreed a kraken with a unicorn? Who will HeXtinction Rebellion protest against due to their ties to Big Mana?
