Game Description

The Company has lost contact with their most secret research facility on the remote island of Riptide. It is likely that the featured experiment of the facility has broken its bonds and threatens to consume the island and who knows what after that. It is your team's task to rein in this catastrophe as well as negotiate the web of agendas, secrets and lies that The Company routinely weaves around its operatives. Good luck. The Slivers must not leave the island.

As to the nuts and bolts of the game, all characters are pre-generated with abilities and backstories, the players bring them to life from there. Dice-rolling is minimal, the world is based on that of Magic the Gathering but I've taken some liberties with it too.

I'm running this game twice through the weekend with different groups to give more people the chance to take part. Please don't sign up for both as it would be redundant and please avoid any spoilers between groups.

I've posted brief descriptions of the characters in each slot but there is much more to each character that can only be disclosed to a player after they sign up. Make your character choice carefully because it can't be changed after the extra information is given to you.

Cheers,
GT
