We're sorry, but Whately died with his boots on in the fall of 2003. Please visit the Fête Fatale home page to see if there are any other fun games coming up that you can actually play.

The Prospector by N.C. Wyeth

An Exercise in Interactive Literature written and produced by Fête Fatale Productions


The Curse of Whately's Mesa is a single-evening live-action roleplaying adventure for twelve players, run at a private home in Inverness, Illinois. Players will be exploring a simulated abandoned mine, complete with tunnels and secret doors and the like. Unlike the previous Whatelys, this game wasn't so much inspired by specific Cheesy Horror movies as much as the concept that it would be fun to set a Whately in the Wild West--and, hey, wouldn't a Haunted Mine be cool?
