Syndicate is a Cyberpunk roleplaying game made by a Finnish company called Burger Games. Burger Games also made a post-apocalyptic game called Taiga, which seems to have some devouted fans, but are now concentrating on a fantasy game in Finnish, based on a popular Finnish comic, having given up their ambitions of taking the international world of gaming by storm. Syndicate is currently available free on the net, with at least two alternate rule systems (both quite similar, fairly complete, and sharing a simple, clean-looking design). The game reminds me a bit of Phil Elliot’s Zaibatsu.
There’s a page here listing some Syndicate campaigns the designer ran (the campaign pages, saddly, are all in Finnish), most notable because at least one has the PCs fighting with Nokia agents…
