The peaceful tranquility of the English conutryside is about to be shattered by forces that threaten your beloved homeland. Strange weather patterns, ancient burial sites, and a mysterious glowing rock all point to one thing - INVASION! 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. Indeed, something wicked this way comes!
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. Discover what is behind the Martian Invasion and put a stop to it, before they take over the whole world! It’s all part of the job as a member of STAKE!
