Voodoo

GURPS Voodoo: The Shadow War takes the myths of the mystical religions known as Voudoun and Santeria and gives them a twist¸ placing the believers and practitioners of Voodoo in the middle of a cosmic struggle. A new magic system is presented¸ designed to replicate the way Voodoo priests and the shamans of many ancients cultures think it works. The Shadow War is a conflict fought on many fronts. Voodoo Initiates contend with the Lodges¸ European magicians who have kept their occult power hidden and consider themselves the secret masters of the Western world. Beneath that struggle¸ some Initiates have begun to realize¸ lies a battle between Humankind and beings that have no use for power or wealth -- only destruction. Unlike many ''dark'' RPGs¸ Voodoo is not about enduring horror¸ but fighting it. Human Spirit Warriors¸ monstrous In-Betweener renegades and even ghosts can join forces and stop the manipulators and deceivers. The world of the Shadow War needs heroes¸ however frail or flawed they may be. Your characters may just be those heroes.
