Swyversis a light-weight set of rules married to a full set of tools and tables for running a game in the chaotic sprawl ofThe Smoke, its many districts andThe Midden. What a city it is corrupt officials, looming war, rogue sorcerors, monsters below and nobs above. Violence rests as thick as the smog, nothing is sacred and its always bloody raining.

Swyversis a game about bastards. You and your gang of criminals scarper through heists and sewers, stalk through the filth ofThe Smokeand, if youre lucky, youll make it out with a few extra shillings. The whole of this city is your filthy, sickly oyster.

Every group of Swyvers will have their very own Smoke. The GM starts a campaign by generating the city, starting from a core of districts: the Royal Gaol, the Palace, the Mayoral District and the Docks. From there they follow along Swyvers' generation tables to flesh out and, potentially, endlessly expand their rotten city.
