Introducing R.A.G.E. -- Roleplay Adventure Gaming Engine

10/31/2014

 
Picture
We're breaking new ground here at Darkwater Syndicate. We've entered the field of roleplaying games, and we're pleased to announce the release of our Roleplay Adventure Gaming Engine -- called R.A.G.E. for short. 

R.A.G.E. is a game near and dear to our hearts. We played it before it we knew what the rules were. For years it didn't even have a name. Now, for the first time, you too can see why this game is all the R.A.G.E.

R.A.G.E. is currently available as an ebook and will be out in paperback soon. See below for highlights.
Why You Should Play This Game
Because It's Fast
  • Minimal bookkeeping and no need to split hairs. When in doubt, roll dice and move on.
  • Story-oriented rules and quick gameplay ensure there won’t be lulls in the action.
Because It's Deep
  • Player and party strategy can spell the difference between victory and defeat.
  • Tactical formations, panic, fatigue, magic spells, miracles, heroic feats, and more.
Because It's Versatile
  • The core system is designed to allow for play in just about any game setting.
  • No fixed classes means you're free to develop your characters as you see fit.
Because It's Fun
  • Want a challenge? Apply any of the four advanced rules modules included in the book.

Ebooks are now available; paperbacks are coming soon!

Happy Halloween From Darkwater Syndicate!

10/23/2014

 
Halloween is around the corner, so celebrate with us with this selection of our favorite themed features. Some are scary, some are eerie, and some are downright twisted. Like reaching blindly into a bag a bag of candy, you never know what you'll get. 

Hot Wires To Heaven -- A ceiling light socket taunts a man in the middle of the night. Maybe, if he'd put a light bulb in it the night before, it'd have kept quiet for once.

Irrational, Angry Things -- The most twisted, angry sing-along ever.

Nightmare Resort -- A family vacation in a refurbished motel leads to misfortune and bizarre happenings.

The Secret Life Of A Prison Chef
-- A fascinating short interview with a sous chef working in a state penitentiary. His guests are all death row inmates, and they're literally dying to get out.

Insurance Horror Stories -- Phantom Home -- It's horror of a different sort, not of ghouls or vampires but of banks and businessmen. One man's life falls apart after legal technicalities strip away his home -- the house is his, except it isn't; but it's the bank's, except it's not.

Full-Circle Cynicism -- A poem about how frustration is much too delicious a feeling to just vanish at death.
