Based on the Forged in the Dark system, it\u2019s backstreets and corners, footpads and fatalities; it\u2019s Dickensian, anti-Thatcher, sparks-and-knives SF.<\/p>\n<p>In a|state, you\u2019ll not only fight off threats to your canalside home, you\u2019ll strive to make the grim and haunted City safer and better. You\u2019ll team up to defend your corner from selfish authorities, angry gangs and heartless industries.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Astate-2nd-Edition-Cover.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-54503\" src=\"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Astate-2nd-Edition-Cover-239x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"239\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Astate-2nd-Edition-Cover-239x300.jpg 239w, http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Astate-2nd-Edition-Cover-120x150.jpg 120w, http:\/\/roleplayerschronicle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Astate-2nd-Edition-Cover.jpg 478w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/a>a|state is your story \u2013 it\u2019s the story of how you fight back.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The a|state second edition will be a full-colour, hardcover book of at least 176 pages.
