The sands melt though the old rubber of mine-issued boots.  Behind, a skiff smolders; mast broken, emptied of water. Sopsippers circle on scaled wings low overhead. The window between death and desiccation will be small. Ahead, another skiff billows a great sand plume as it crests a dune. It will find nothing but an empty skiff and tracks in the sand. 

For twelve days, Sevulla is held in the embrace of its twin stars. The equatorial band is a blasted desert of endless day. Water cannot exist on the surface, yet the mines thirst. Skiffs crewed by fools skim across the sands. They hunt themselves and scavenge what little life is found in the dunes. On the thirteenth day, the storms of the poles descend and rain terror upon the sands.

This is a roleplaying game for 3-5 players.  Play as the crew of these skiffs trying to eek out a life in the deserts. Slake is a game of piracy and desperation on a desolate planet.  Skiffs prey upon each other; predators in the planet's ecology. Mines run by far off corporations offer the only protection for the planets violent squalls in exchange for hard won water.
