Liminal London Wraps Fourth Mystery on Groundbreaking Reveal
Far from the upper-class portrayals of London most often seen in popular media, Liminal London uses the lens of Urban Fantasy to tell stories about the grimy underbelly of the city.
Realms of Peril & Glory's Liminal London series has been a staple of the Actual Play podcast since the first mystery, London Grind, launched in 2022. The latest mystery, Loose Change, pushed the series even further, with an expanded episode count to match the series' ambitious narrative.
Far from the upper-class portrayals of London most often seen in popular media, Liminal London uses the lens of Urban Fantasy to tell stories about the grimy underbelly of the city and those people who are forced to face the brutal reality of life in the capital under the thumb of the magical establishment. Any fans of the Rivers of London books or Neverwhere will feel right at home in Liminal London.
The latest mystery in the series delves into the murky past of player character Declan Buchanan (played by Pip Gladwin) and the one case he couldn't solve before he was ejected from the Hidden City's police force, P Division, for daring to hold those in power accountable for their crimes.
Loose Change sets Liminal London firmly into its second act and on the path to finale with a ground breaking ending that shifts the balance of power in the city forever. Betrayal is around ever corner in Loose Change as things get serious for the party.
Our Three PCs, 'Three-Card' Monty (Naomi Clarke), Mags Holt (Liz Campbell), and Declan Buchanan (Pip Gladwin), are set to face down The Queen of Hyde Park, the fey monarch of the city and the architect of much of the party's woes.
Next up for the series is the return of fan-favourite guest character Dr. Annie Walker (Shamini Bundell), a new vampire who was turned against her will in Mystery Two. Now, she returns to the Hidden City for her revenge against those who wronged her. Catch a clip from the upcoming series below!
Find out more about Liminal London on the Realms of Peril & Glory website and be sure to catch up before the next series begins later this spring! There are four mysteries and one prequel special in the Liminal London– only 20 episodes, with runtimes between 60 and 90 minutes.
