Syndrome

"They talked empathy and walked apathy." 

Syndrome is a cyberpunk setting with strong elements of body horror in the vein of Scanners or Akira. High tech, low lifes dealing with illness in a society that fears them. Powerful and vulnerable in equal measure with only their fellow Nockers for support.

It is a game informed by my own experience with disability and the experiences of the greater disability community. And by disability I am encompassing the whole gamut from visible to invisible disabilities. To mental illness and trauma. I make no distinction here. This isn’t the Trauma Olympics. We suffer and succeed together - not separately. 

Now this system being used here is Titanomachy's Caltrop Core system with elements of Vincent Baker’s Powered by the Apocalypse and Unified Cutlery Theory. Look up UCT. It’s very insightful.

Note: I put this together over 3 caffeine fueled days. There are bound to be typos and such issues. Feel free to comment with them and I will fix them. If enough copies are sold, I will hire an editor.

Note 2: The complete edition of this game is coming in the next couple of weeks. I will be putting up previews during that time. Anyone who has already purchased Syndrome will get access to the complete edition of the game with no additional charges.

Note 3: Catching covid again and suffering some very real and very debilitating effects turned that promise of the new edition in a couple of weeks into a lie of Biblical proportions. It is still being worked on as quickly and thoroughly as my disability allows.
