There’s a bar that exists in Oblivion. It’s called the Oblivion Bar. Not terribly original, but apt. It can only be accessed by the most adept sorcerers. And drinkers.
For those that live there, Oblivion has another name: The Winding Way; a gnarled and desolate conduit between dimensions. It is an immense source of magical power. And it is currently overflowing.
Genre
Shadowpact is where horror meets crime noir and urban fantasy. Demons, devils, fae, and the walking undead not only exist in a modern, urban setting, but they comprise most of the team also.
Gameplay
If you’ve ever wanted to throw back whiskey sours with a succubus while talking in a classic mid-Atlantic accent, Shadowpact is that. Like most of the early Overpower campaigns (during Fractured), Shadowpact is called in to determine—and hopefully fix—the unbalance afflicting the Winding Way, and the chaos it is causing in magical, and supernatural communities, giving it a heavy social component. Think Fables or Hellboy.
