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 some of you may know, this is the game that I've been running for some years at Gryphcon and I'm proud to continue the tradition. The world is loosely based on that of Magic the Gathering but I've taken a good deal of literary license with it as well. Dice-rolling is minimal and will be done only by me, characters are pregen and will be filled in for each slot as soon as I see the game posted. Some limited information will be provided about each character in their description which will be made available to everyone but there is more info that comes with each character. This additional infot will only be revealed when you lock in your choice of character and your choice cannot be changed after you gain the additional information.

The Administrator

- In short, you're the boss. You're skilled in persuasion and diplomacy, it is up to you to manage your team and it is ultimately your responsibility to see that a mission is successful

The Bodyguard

- Though all Company operatives are skilled in combat, you are a consummate master. You wield weapons and powerful magiks to defeat your foes and protect your comrades from any danger

The Scientist

- The Company is an organization that is heavily invested in science and magic and all the areas between. You are one of the finest minds of your generation in either field and your knowledge will be invaluable in keeping your team alive

The Expert

- You are a supernatural security specialist, capable of infiltrating even the most heavily-guarded facilities that the Company will pay you to. This facility has very complex systems for keeping its host creatures contained and your team will need those skills as you make your way. And who doesn't like walking through walls?

The Survivor

- You are not a Company operative like the others. You are a junior researcher posted to the Riptide facility when disaster struck. Between running and hiding from relentless, vicious creatures you have been able to survive where others have perished. Only you know the truth of Riptide.
