Athens under Duke Theseus, four days before the duke's wedding. The law is absolute, the frost is on the roses, and the wood outside the gates is full of fairy mischief — a quarrel between Oberon and Titania that is rotting the seasons. Players take original Athenians on the edge of the play — a palace maid, an apprentice to the mechanicals, a hedge-witch's daughter, a merchant with a cart of wedding silks — and get swept into the night when Puck mistakes them for the lovers and the love-juice starts flying.

The complete Fate Accelerated engine rides along: characters whose stress boxes, refresh, and approach ratings compute themselves from the standard rules; aspects with invoke and compel guidance; the six approaches as linked files; stunts, extras, consequences, zones, scenes, and campaign frames. Four act-by-act scenes, twenty NPCs from the play, five signature extras (Love-in-Idleness, the Ass's Head, Pyramus & Thisby, the Changeling Boy, the Fairy Blessing), and four ready-to-play pregens demonstrate every moving part.
