a|state Core Rules
a|state is the first release from new British RPG company Contested Ground Studios. The game itself is set in The City. Isolated from the outside world¸ it is a place riven by horrors¸ plagued by inhumanity and crushed under the weight of its own population. The City is a sepiatone world¸ lit by guttering gaslamps and flickering filaments. Rotting concrete towerblocks and dank brick tenements house the millions who work¸ live and die in The City. Ghostfighters¸ Scops¸ Lostfinders and Flowghosts make their way along the winding streets and stinking canals. a|state is about hope in a dark place. About characters who bring hope to themselves¸ their families¸ their friends¸ even to the whole city.
