Corporation

Sarky

Has anyone else come across this RPG? I picked it up in the UK at Christmas because the premise (Cybernetically enhanced agents protecting corporate interests by any means necessary) was interesting and because I can't resist shiny artwork.

I've run a game or two by this stage, and I think I can safely say it's rather good. The character creation is as simple as Warhammer Fantasy, the system is as simple as SLA Industries, the combat is quick and brutal, and the setting is a sufficient mix of Transhuman Space- style optimism and grimy Syndicate Wars-style dystopian future to keep me entertained for many a game to come.

Actually, Syndicate Wars is a good way to describe the game. I fully intend to have my players make a cty more vulnerable to their corporation's advertising campaign by brutally assassinating the owners of the media...

I don't think it's available outside the UK except by the net, but surely someone else here has at least heard of it?

I havent actually herd of it but the premise sounds very interesting i have to admit you have spiked my curiosity. Is the RPG still in print?? is there linkage anywhere on the interweb about the game?

So basically its a Role playing version of the PC Game syndicate?

I think it came out in '06 so it's fairly new.

And yeah, it can get VERY Syndicate-like.

You say the system is easy to use, seems like it, Whats the weapons codex like?

There's a pleasing little selection of horrific weaponry in the main book, from EMP handguns to "ion katanas" to two-handed chainsaw blades. Last I heard there were plenty of sourcebooks planned, but I haven't seen any yet...
