From publisher blurb:
Atop a lonely hillside in Sandsend lies a forlorn mansion.... within its storied walls dwells a terrible secret. Now the manor house is rumored to be haunted! It is up to you to furrow out the truth and bring an end to the misery which casts a pall over the estate. You are a member of STAKE, a special division of Scotland Yard assigned to deal with the macabre and elements of the supernatural including banshees, werewolves, and other things that go bump in the night.
STAKE uses a modified version of the Fudge game system where every roll of the dice may lead to a new discovery or end the player’s mission at the snap of a finger. The game uses a guided adventure path format which allows up to 3 players to role play at one time without the need for a dedicated GM.
Solve puzzles, uncover ancient mysteries, and thwart evil at every turn. Uncover deadly truths and bring peace to a restless spirit or two in the pursuit of justice! It’s all part of the job as a member of STAKE!
