About this Game

The world is ending. ⸐ Again and again and again and again and again a̶n̴͗d̵̥͒ ̸̎ă̶ġ̸a̵̢͗i̶͙̓n̸̡̔ ă̵̢̫̥̺̻̞n̵͔̽̿̏̓͋͠͝d̴̢̪̟͊ ̵̡̺̖̰̯͖̞̓̑̐̈́̍̋a̶̤̘̖͗͐̀̔̚̚g̴̛͇̻̦̻͇̲̈́̏à̷̩̫͒ḯ̷̡̱̀̀̀͠ṇ̶̦̔͜. 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. 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.

Classes

Burned Hacker

Burned Hacker

You were one of the sharpest deckers in Cy. No one could use tech or warp the world with an App like you could. You don't know what went wrong. You messed up. Maybe you were tricked; maybe you got sloppy. You glimpsed a terrible truth, and now you're burnt. No collective, no fallback, nothing.

Discharged Corp Killer

Discharged Corp Killer

A good soldier in bad company, always fighting someone else's war in the name of greed. Capitalism crushed your enthusiasm quickly enough, and you were discharged without severance.

Forsaken Gang-Goon

Forsaken Gang-Goon

You ran with the only gang to have your back and treat you like more than slum trash. They were your family, and you bled, stole, fought and killed for them. They're gone now, so you have to keep your edge.

Orphaned Gear Head

Orphaned Gear Head

People are unreliable. Socially. Physically. Emotionally. Weak bodies and weaker wills. They are worn down, unfixable. Instead, you have mastered emotionless steel and loyal code. You can fix, drive and pilot any machine. Machines, you can trust.

Renegade Cyberslasher

Renegade Cyberslasher

You are Death incarnate - a frenzied flurry of chrome, murder, and blood-stained steel. But yours is no mindless rage. You matched your trained and cybernetically enhanced body with an equally disciplined mind. You used to kill for a cause, for an ideal. Now? You kill for money.

Shunned Nanomancer

Shunned Nanomancer

It's inside you. Infesting your brain, warping your flesh. People are afraid of you now. They're afraid of the power that poisons you. You're scared too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which dice does CY_BORG use?
In CY_BORG you will use a D6 for character creation and many of the random event tables, but you'll use a D20 for any tests to see if you succeed.
What supplies do I need to play CY_BORG?
Obviously this will vary from table to table, but here are some good places to start! If your game is played in person, most likely you will want to get a set of dice, something to write with, and paper to take notes. If your game is hosted online instead, you will probably need to make accounts on a few sites for things like character sheets, access to the Virtual Tabletop for maps and tokens, and sites like Discord or Zoom for video/voice calls during the session. You won't always need to have the rulebooks to start, but if you want to read through them to make sure you know all the rules, this might also be a good option.
What is CY_BORG?

Do I need to know all the rules to play CY_BORG?
Knowing every rule of the game may be helpful to some, but many players will learn the game as they play! If you want to read the rules ahead of time you absolutely can, but if you are a hands-on learner you can also just start playing, and if there is something you don’t understand never be afraid to ask questions, because everyone starts somewhere!
