[Interest Check] [FATE Core] Mystery Point Crawl in a College Setting

You—the PCs—are students at Fargraves Academy, a prestigious university atop a hill in the remote countryside. As founders of the newly established (and relentlessly mocked) detective club, you're waiting for your first case to arrive. Can you manage your student life (and all the drama that comes with it) while uncovering the secrets of Fargraves?

This campaign is about managing your student life, navigating relationships, and uncovering secrets. It's a sandbox of mysteries where you decide which leads to follow. While I'm aiming for a more lighthearted tone, dark themes and subjects are bound to creep in.

VTT = Virtual TableTop? Are you recruiting for games not on GamersPlane?
You cant do that.

I'll make a bold suggestion. Can you move the setting to Japan? Or, more specifically, make it anime?

Welcome, erkin -- great to see Fate on offer, it doesn't get the love it once did in many RPG spaces. I'm not in the market for another game at the moment, but I'd be patient as you wait for interest -- academy-style games are a favorite for many...

That thought has never crossed my mind. But it does sound like a fun idea to me. I might end up doing that if the others are interested in it as well.

I've been thinking of playing some FATE Core anime, actually. Madoka Magica / Dededede sort of thing. I think it fits detective-bu plot quite nicely.

Not familiar with either except by second-hand accounts, but aren't those more occult-actiony and not academic-detective?

And define "academic detective", because I'm relying strictly on the pitch in OP which fits anime tropes perfectly.

Investigative activities (e.g. figuring out other students' skeletons in the cupboards) within an academic context (an academy, a university, &c.).

...You might want to slow down until erkin can respond. ;)

Welcome, erkin! We're a good community here, and it sounds like your game idea already has some interest!

Speaking as someone with no skin in the game, a dark slice-of-life detective game set at the modern day uni and absurdness extravaganza à la Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu sound like two completely different games, for, mostly, two completely different crowds.

Good point. The pitch probably should've been more detailed.
