Welcome to Shadows

Shadows is a cybernetic, supernatural roleplaying game that uses the Synergy System and is fueled by cinematic, collaborative gameplay.

Set in the dystopian future of 2079, Players will create characters to inhabit the world of NYTE City, a megalopolis that spans the entirety of the United States' Eastern Seaboard. 

In NYTE City, Players will work with the GM (Game Master) to take on every kind of threat, from street punks looking to make a name for themselves, to eldritch horrors trying to consume the world from within.

The Synergy System is our home-brewed d10 (10-sided die) system that embraces ingenuity and tries to avoid cookie-cutter gameplay.  Done properly, no two games of Shadows will feel the same.

In Shadows, the d10 is used to determine outcomes of almost every situation, whether hacking into the mainframe, dispatching enemies, casting spells, or trying to simply talk your way out of jailtime.

Character creation in Shadows is very straightforward, with players able to shape their character growth over the course of the game.

• Roll dice to determine the amount of points you're working with, based on the campaign's power level

• Assign points to stats, attributes, and skills

• Purchase Advantages and Disadvantages to give your character a unique edge

• Select an Archetype (or create your own) to round everything out!

As your campaign progresses, your character gains Improvement Points (IP) to upgrade their baseline scores, and earns Milestones which grant additional Abilities and Powers.  Learn more on the Character Creation page.
