A Nano-infested Doomsday RPG
The world is ending. ⸐

Constantly in flux; shifting, distorting, always reborn as something worse. Destruction by ecological catastrophes, the fallout of history’s belligerence; by modern man-made Miseries or the blood spilled by the reckless machine of capitalist supremacy. Mankind’s greatest ability truly is to destroy itself in creative ways. Designer demise, consumer-customized death, endlessly on repeat.
CY_BORG is a complete rules-light, rage-heavy tabletop roleplaying game about cybernetic misfits and punks raging against a relentless corporate hell. Based on and compatible with MÖRK BORG. Easy to play, easy to hack.
Includes:
- A drive-by description of the megacity Cy.
- Quick and dirty character creation.
- d66 Miserable Headlines.
- Random Generators facilitating near-endless play.
- Equipment like guns and specialized ammo booster plug-ins.
- 25+ foes to fight.
- The introductory heist Lucky Flight Takedown.
Poisonous space rocks, nuclear weapons, cyclical revolutions, warring nations, warring corporations, warring neighbors; pandemics, tsunamis, volcanoes. In between it all: direct person-machine interfaces, tactical neural implants, and bacteria from outer space hijacking intercellular nanorobotics. And the sky is full of ads.
Everyone is interfaced/injected/infected/infested with something. Everyone wants something from everyone else. Everyone is a liar and a cheat. Everyone wants more creds.
Welcome to the year 20X3.

Like all Mörk Borg games, This is a gorgeous work of art and I think in many ways refines the original in ways that showcase just how unique and incredible it is.
