UNDERSIDE Playtest Edition

When it hurts, when it really hurts, don't you wish you could make everyone else feel it too?

In UNDERSIDE, powers grant that wish. Capes rule the streets: people who ruptured so totally with regular society that they've formed their own, with costumes, masks, and the superpowered equivalent of bombs strapped to their chests at all times. 

UNDERSIDE is a dark cape TTRPG, a game for playing out violent, high-octane street-level superhero stories that dig into the trauma and dysfunction of their protagonists. Using a stripped-down and rebuilt version of the Forged in the Dark system, it's built from the ground up to encourage cascading escalation, vicious PC-on-PC conflict, and catastrophic ruptures between your characters' real lives and who they become when they wear their masks. 

You'll play to find out who gets hurt as you fight your way to the top of the ruthless superpowered social scene. If it makes you feel better, you can even call yourself heroes while you do it.

We're not quite done with this project, but your support can help us over the finish line and get you in on this shit early. For $15, you get: 

•  A fully playable, comprehensive playtest rulebook. No fancy layout, but everything you need to run a full campaign of violent costumed psychodrama. 
• A character keeper and reminder cards to help you out at the table. 
• Access to the official UNDERSIDE playtest Discord
• The smug satisfaction of knowing you supported UNDERSIDE before it was cool 

When this game gets a full release, we'll also do our best to reward everyone who supported us at this juncture for doing us a solid: watch this space!
