Editorial Reviews

Review
Control is, without a doubt, the most exciting and promising independent roleplaying game released at Gen Con 2004. -- Michael J. Varhola, Skirmisher Online Gaming Magazine

Product Description
Are you in control?

Prepare for a unique role-playing experience. In Control, players take on the roles of men and women investigating a world-spanning conspiracy. Characters can be created in less than five minutes, using an exciting system of "qualities."

The gamemaster (or Controler) can create any conspiracy he can imagine with Control’s build system—from ancient supernatural forces playing their games on the world stage, to corrupt politicians manipulating the stock market, to alien cover-ups and abductions.

But the most unusual feature is the ability of the players to not only investigate and infiltrate, but to take over! When a player character becomes powerful enough, they can challenge the Controler for dominance of the game, thereby becoming the gamemaster themselves. It is an unprecedented game of RPG king-of-the-hill!

Control is a standalone game with no other books needed to play. Adventures and other support material will appear from time-to-time for free on the Skirmisher Publishing Website.

It’s All About Control:
Who’s Got It,
Who Wants It,
And Who Will You Kill For It.
