Narrative Variant

Sump City Sinking​

If players wish, they may use this scenario to represent the battle between the Delaque and the Cult of the Ravenous One.

In order to do this, make the following changes:

  • The defender's gang should be a Delaque gang and should include at least one Spyker.
  • The attacker's gang should be a Corpse Grinder Cult gang.
  • The Confluence of Shadows (see Spyker profile) and Blessed by the Lord of Skin and Sinew (see CGC fighter profiles) rules are both in effect.

Resistant To The Wyrd​

If one or more Ironhead Squat Prospectors are targeted by a Wyrd Power then one of them may attempt to Disrupt the power as if they were a psyker.
