A Game of Reality --- Reality in a Game

"...if you’re looking for a reality based game steeped in the Western Mystery Tradition, this is the game for you." - GamingReport.com

In 1904 the last of the Enlightened Masters, immortal beings who assisted mankind, left this world. It is now January 1st, 2000 and they have returned.

The Swing is set in the modern world, with real world agencies using real world Magick (such as Wicca and Voodoo) and real world mechanics. But reality in The Swing is a pendulum: sometimes it moves in one direction, sometimes in the other. A character’s WILL can shape reality within the game world, affecting all those within. One day, reality could be filled with dragons and faeries, the next it could be lasers and computers.

The Swing is being re-released under the Reflex system in Fall '08 . The Magick system is based on the Thelemic principles of WILL and Love, derived from Aleister Crowley's vision of Magick as "the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will."
