 Twitchy Butcher Studios is proud to announce Gods and Masters, a fantasy role-playing game licensed with the Savage Worlds rule system.  Find it for sale here, on DriveThru RPG. 

   Dokaro is a once great city on the verge of collapse, torn apart by invasion, rebellion, and heresy. Three playable factions operate within, trying to claw victory from the hands of their rivals.

   The mighty empire solidifies its grip on its newest conquest, with well-trained soldiers and cunning inquisitors. Imperial characters benefit from an assortment of military gear and siege equipment, access to several types of support units, and a generous supply of reinforcements.  

   The rebels try to reclaim the city that was once theirs, with raiders, assassins, smugglers, and saboteurs. To win back their homeland, rebel characters can access a thriving black market, the ancient ancestral magic of their culture, and the support of the common people.   

   Meanwhile, a powerful cult lies in the shadows, feeding on the chaos and bloodshed. The cultist characters use black magic, the kiss of vampirism, and an enormous supply of expendable thralls to increase their power and influence.
