Knights in Shining Armani...Knights of the Round CONFERENCE Table.
This is a pretty unique concept, and it does have a low-end buy-in at $15 for the PDF. But upgrading to Hacker gets you into the playtest as well as additional digital rewards.
What is CORPORIA?
Corporia will be a limited edition, graphic novel-sized, 208-page, full color, signed & numbered hardcover, urban fantasy role-playing game
set in the near future. It’s not based directly on any existing
property or rules set, but if I had to compare it to other themes you
might recognize, it’s what happens when you mix reincarnated Knights of
the Round Table with a spoonful of Torchwood, add a pinch of cyberpunk, a dash of Joss Whedon's Angel season 5, and a sprinkling of a corporate-focused Shadowrun. If you enjoy these, you're going to love Corporia.
In the near future, corporations control the world, and
Order is the rule of the day. New technologies clean the environment and
raise glittering skyscrapers in outwardly utopian cities, but at the
cost of personal freedoms and liberties. Humans toil in wage-slavery to
powerful mega-corporations, pacified by drugs, cheap food, and free
internet access. It is surely the time foretold in legend, when the
Knights of the Round Table would return in the hour of mankind’s
greatest need.
Yet the knights are scattered, their memories
fragmented, and King Arthur nowhere to be found. Worse, the return of
the knights breached the barriers of reality and opened portals to the
extra-dimensional realms of Chaos. Now every day brings new horrors as
magical anomalies bestow either superhuman abilities or horrible
mutations on the populace, monsters lurk in alleys and underground
malls, spirits return as electronic geists, and software becomes
self-aware. The mega-corporations outwardly dismiss these outbreaks as
effects of cosmic 'Flux' radiation (supposedly caused by the former
government's meddling with the ozone layer), even while they wage secret
wars to master this new energy source. Only you and your allies stand
for justice in the struggle between corporate Order and magical Chaos.
Fortunately,
you have powerful benefactors: Sir Lancelot (awakened as a megacorp
CEO) and his allies Sir Percival, the sorceress Nimue, and the
artificial intelligence known as M.E.R.L.I.N. As a member of the
Knightwatch, Lancelot’s secret special operations team, you battle
magical monstrosities and augmented humans, dive into living computer
networks, infiltrate rival mega-corporations, and more. The only limit
is your imagination!
