The Sword, The Crown, and The Unspeakable Power (SCUP) is a dark fantasy role-playing game.

Reminiscent of the A Song of Ice and Fire or  books, SCUP focuses on power, politics, and intrigue in a setting you create using a unique world building exercise.

Built on the Powered by the Apocalypse system developed in Vincent and Meguey Baker’s game Apocalypse World, SCUP is designed to let players get their hands dirty in scheming, conniving, and backstabbing. Take control of powerful sorcerers, regal nobles, and hardened warriors as you plot your rise to glory.

Will others step on you as they ascend the social hierarchy? Or will you hack and claw your way to be the one who wears the crown?
