Swords of the Serpentine is a sword & sorcery game of daring heroism, sly politics, and bloody savagery, set in a fantasy city rife with skullduggery and death. You’re home now, and the Sinking City will embrace you.

It doesn’t matter whether you’ve come to kill a rival, earn a fortune, learn a secret, or hire an army. She’s a melding of faith and stone and wood and water – and mud – that’s unique in all the world. She may be ancient and corrupt, slowly and inexorably swallowed by an endless bog but she’s alive in a way most cities aren’t. Temples to her goddess rise above the mansions and tenements, calling her people to prayer. Architecture from a dozen eras towers above a tangle of grand plazas and narrow canals. Her jeweled and crystal turrets are reflected in a shimmering bay full of hundreds of brightly colored boats. You round the bend past the lower fort and there she is: the great city of Eversink, sprawled out on scores of islands across the sheltered water.

Bells ring out across the water and echo like the song of ghosts, loud enough to almost drown out the chanted prayers of your ship’s rowers. As you come around the curve of the Serpentine river the scent of the open sea is replaced by the stench of low tide, of boat tar, of rare spices spilled from a smuggler’s ship of cooking smoke and human waste. When it’s summer, you smell her before you see her. A GUMSHOE roleplaying game of swords & sorcery! They also have bonuses to research, Forestry, and a innate weakness to Blight damage, putting them at an initial disadvantage against Goblins.
