A GAME ABOUT SCHOOL DAYS AND THE END OF DAYS

Freeplay Awards Finalist 2018 - Excellence in Narrative and Non-Digital Game Award

In the Weird Age of the late 21st century, the newly-discovered occult sciences are changing the world. If you want to learn them, Occultar Academy is the place to go. In this secluded island school, talented students from all over the world can learn sorcery and occultech under the Foundation's watchful eye.

But they won't tell you everything.

Occult science is great, but there are risks. Behind the scenes, in the Foundation labs beneath the school, they're researching the dangerous secrets of outer science. The Forbidden Sections beneath the library hide secrets once lost to history, from forgotten occultech to the existence of the Ancient Ones. If the wrong person finds them, it could mean the end of the world.

Breakfast Cult is a Fate Accelerated game about mystery, cosmic horror, and high school drama. Play students at the world's best occult school as they solve mysteries, uncover the terrible secrets of the Ancient Ones, and try to find which of their classmates is conspiring against them before it's too late!

Breakfast Cult is now available as an audio book! You can get the audio book in a bundle with the PDF here. If you already own the PDF, you can get the audio book at a discount from that bundle.

The book is US Letter size (8.5"x11"), so unfortunately it's larger than the Fate books!

Hi Neil! Breakfast Cult uses its own original setting, so it doesn't have stats for Lovecraft's creatures. There's an expansion book which includes some takes on Mi-Go and Deep Ones, imagined to fit into the Breakfast Cult setting:

The Ancient Ones (Breakfast Cult's elder gods) don't have traditional stats, as they're not meant to be encounters. Instead, they're mostly written in terms of the effect they have on the story.

Does this book include all the necessary Fate rules, or do you also need to reference the Fate Accelerated book to play this one?

What's the difference between standard heavyweight and premium heavyweight? I'm weighing between the two.

I gotta say I love all the little jokes and nods you put in this. The nod to S.C.P foundation and how one of the pre-made characters is named Laura Bailey, The famed voice actress and tabletop gamer. Kudos.

Hey, thanks! That means a lot.

(Laura wasn't intentional, weirdly enough - she was submitted by a KS backer who didn't have that in mind. Still neat though!)

We've been putting together an updated version that fixes some typos and art problems. It should be done soon (we need to do a test print first) but I've had the old version taken down until then!

We've done a couple tests but there's still a few art bugs, so we're trying again. I'm hoping we'll get one we can launch with in January!

Recently bought this book and i gotta say, the only thing that lacks is an Anime Opening. I want to see more of this universe, i want to see the school in details, the state, a "make your own god", information on the school, the sports, the teams, the clubs etc... I want More

The PDF comes without bookmarks. Obviously, I can set my own, but I think it'd be better to have them included in a PDF release.

That's my fault - I usually add them myself before posting, but it looks like I forgot to do it the last time we tweaked the PDF. Thank you for letting us know! We're expecting to update the PDF soon, so I'll try to get some proper bookmarks in.

The PDF (both standard and HQ, last updated July 17, 2018) is still missing a bookmarked table of contents. I would appreciate it if this could be fixed. The same with Game Over; Sweet Shub and Terrible Friends both have it.

Hey Paul!
Great concept, looks awesome so far! (I purchased the print version, which btw for anyone else thinking about it is REALLY nice looking and good quality!) I'm a total noob to FATE, so was wondering about the last sentence on p.14..."Approaches define how you do things, but approaches define what you do." Is one of those supposed to be Aspects? Sorry to sound obtuse, but again, very unfamiliar with FATE in general, and wanted to make sure I understood correctly.

That should read "aspects define what you do". Sorry about that!

Chapter 3 covers the Fate rules. You might find it useful to pick up Fate anyway for some more advice, but it's not essential!

Several smaller expansion packs with more sample characters, Ancient Ones, etc. were funded by the game's Kickstarter. They have no set release date, but we'll be working on getting them up once the print version is out.

Will you be offering a discounted POD coupon to those who buy the PDF now, so they don't end up paying more than if they just waited to buy the PDF+POD option when the POD comes out?

Yep, we'll sort something out for PDF owners when the POD option is out.

Could do with a preview that shows more than the character sheet - which tells me nothing much about the writing style, art, etc. of the game. Yes, the Quick preview shows a hint of art, etc. but the text appears so tiny I can't learn much of anything from it.

We had one, but it looks like we accidentally replaced it when we uploaded the character sheet and didn't notice. Thanks for the heads up!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
