Mindkryme 666, a sentient AI, has taken over WHPA's programming, replacing it with a 24-hour news cycle that is driving the townsfolk mad. It's up to a ragtag group of Public Access TV Hosts to stop it and save Fairhaven...and the world!
Days Of Future Fairhaven: A 3PP Adventure For Weird Heroes Of Public Access
On January 1st, 2000, 6:00 am, EST, Mindkryme 666, a sinister sentient AI, went online and took over WHPA's programming, replacing it with a 24-hour news cycle that is driving the townsfolk mad.
It is now week four of Fairhaven’s slow descent into a post-apocalyptic mania. A comatose Cristobal sends out a psychic cry for help from his bed at St. Horvath Regional Medical Center. It’s up to you and your fellow ragtag group of Public Access TV Hosts to do whatever it takes to stop the spread of the virus before it escapes Fairhaven and causes the end of the world. You are humanity’s last hope…will you heed the call?

Fairhaven is a haven for weirdos and oddballs—a place where your uniqueness isn't just accepted, it's celebrated. No matter who you are or where you're from, Fairhaven is where everybody belongs.
At the heart of Fairhaven is its Public Access TV station, WHPA TV-13, where locals (and anyone lucky enough to catch the signal in neighboring towns) tune in for a delightful array of entertainment. The station's lineup is as diverse as the town itself, offering everything from B-movie horror on "The Monster Powers Mystery Hour," to community show-and-tell on "The Elephant's Trunk," agriculture lessons in "The Psychology of Permaculture," and even clairvoyant insights from "Cristobal’s Crystal Ball." Truly, WHPA TV-13 has something for everyone.
But Fairhaven's quirky charm doesn't end with its TV station. Vampires stalk the night, strange hauntings linger in shadowy corners, and mysterious phenomena frequently occur both in town and on its outskirts. Adding to the town's troubles, the nefarious science corporation X-Tec regularly unleashes sinister experiments that cause havoc among the residents.
So, who keeps the peace and protects the town's idyllic way of life? After finishing their day jobs and signing off from their shows, it's the dedicated Public Access TV Hosts of WHPA TV-13 who step up as Fairhaven's last—and best—line of defense against the supernatural and scientific threats that endanger their neighbors.
After all, a town that welcomes everyone is a town worth fighting for.
