Synthicide: Sharpers in the Dark

Synthicide: Sharpers in the Dark is a rerelease of the popular 2017 Synthicide RPG using the Forged in the Dark engine. 

In Synthicide, the Galaxy has entered a dark age where human life has no value. Sharpers have to fight for their lives, while trying to earn enough money for food and spaceship fuel. Create characters who are a mix of lethal skills, high tech cyberware, and unique mutations

If you loved the original Synthicide, this is a chance to experience its galaxy in a whole new way. The planets are updated to provide location-specific mission ideas, and the baked in faction system brings the galaxy to life.

If you’re a fan of the Forged in the Dark engine and new to Synthicide, try the game to see how Synthicide’s grimdark, lethal cyberpunk themes are expressed in a perfectly suited system.
