A Study in Emerald Game - from Neil Gaiman and Grey Fox Games

It is 1882, and the old ones are already here. They arrived seven hundred years ago and have been ruling the Planet ever since. The majority of people just get on with their lives, accepting their monstrous rulers. However, a growing band of revolutionaries wish to free mankind from their slavery. These freedom fighters call themselves the restorationists. A secret war has already broken out between the restorationists and the forces loyal to the old ones. The invention of Dynamite has changed the balance of power, and a lone assassin now has the capacity to destroy an old one. In this shadow world of assassins, informers, police agents and anarchists, nobody is quite sure who is who and which side they fight for. 

This second edition of a study in emerald sports new artwork by Ian O'Toole and Tatiana Kuzilova along with a streamlined set of rules that will hopefully help those folks who found the first version a tad complicated. Inconsistencies have been removed and the number of available actions has been reduced to the minimum, whilst still retaining the mood of paranoia from the first edition.
