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."
Join the Order of the Nightingale,
The Eleusinians, the
Men in Black or another factions in aiding mankind
along its path to enlightenment and evolution. Will you
invent new technology, discover new drugs and therapies,
and enjoy capitalism to its fullest? Or will you choose
to seek out hidden civilizations, unlock ancient
secrets, and discover what resides inside all mankind?
