Set in an industrial dystopia Doskval which is powered by the blood of leviathans, the players of this pen and paper RPG take on the roles of miscreants seeking fortune in the shadows: Cutter, Hound, Leech, Lurk, Slide, Spider and Whisper. Unlike many other games featuring heroes, these antiheroes (at best) plan out a heist, a ploy, a mark that the players collaborate to accomplish as a group. Other rules cover improving your hideout and your crew between engagements by indulging in the vices the city provides.
We don't have nearly enough steampunk in our lives I think! Also it's somewhat refreshing to have a game focused on the downtime of the players as much as their bouts of adventure and peril.
(Yes, I know Doskval has no sun...I couldn't find enough clips to bring that across)
