RPG: ‘Neon City Outlaws’ – Rise Up In A Corrupt Cyberpunk World – NOW On Kickstarter!
Join the criminal underworld and fight tyranny in a sprawling cyberpunk city with Neon City Outlaws. On Kickstarter now!
From the creator of Dusk City Outlaws and Spectaculars comes Neon City Outlaws, a box set tabletop roleplaying game where bands of daring criminals take on the corporate oligarchs of a dystopian cyberpunk city. Combining the heist structure of Dusk City Outlaws with the on-the-fly setting creation of Spectaculars, players and gamemasters will build their own futuristic city while planning crimes in an easy-to-learn, low-prep built for both campaign play and one-shots alike.
Neon City Outlaws
Neon City Outlaws is set in a sprawling cyberpunk city that you design during play. In this game, the players take on the roles of criminals on the outside of the law, collectively known as the Right Kind of People to those who run in outlaw circles.
These criminals come together to form a crew and take on a job, a criminal enterprise brokered to them by a third party that targets the nigh-immortal executives and their oppressive corporations. More than that, these characters are poised to strike back at the corporations and corrupt government in a way that everyday, law-abiding citizens can’t.
When dissidents are branded as criminals and speaking out against the corporate oligarchy is labeled as a crime, those who try to fight the corrupt system become members of the Right Kind of People. The only question is, once you’re on the outside of the law, will you keep fighting tyranny, or just do what it takes to survive as an outlaw?
The Neon City Outlaws core game consists of two intertwined books:
- The 240-page hardcover Core Rulebook
- The 96-page perfect-bound Setting Book
The rules for making characters, playing the game, and playing as the Administrator (the game’s title for its Gamemaster role) are included in the full-color hardcover rulebook, along with several scenarios intended to get the game to the table quickly. The rules for making your own setting and dozens of entries that guide you through the process of fleshing out your city are found in the game’s setting book, a paired companion book that ties directly into the game’s rules and scenarios.
The Neon City Outlaws setting book is the key to building your own cyberpunk dystopian city. Featuring dozens of entries for various essential elements of your setting, this book guides you through setting creation during play and ties directly into the scenarios included in the core rulebook.
The setting book helps you create corporations, districts, locations, important characters, and rival gangs, and includes all of the information you need to introduce the player-led factions that drive the Revolution, a phase of play where you fight to overthrow the nigh-immortal executives and corporate oligarchs that hold all the power.
