Free League Publishing and Stockholm Kartell officially released the M\u00d6RK BORG cyberpunk spinoff tabletop RPG CY_BORG<\/strong>. It is now available in the Free League webshop<\/a>, at DrivethruRPG<\/a> in digital format, and soon in hobby stores worldwide.<\/em><\/p>\n

CY_BORG RPG<\/em> is a game about climate collapse, out-of-control consumerism, the commodification of personal data, late-stage capitalism, transhumanism, and senseless violence. A fever-dream of tech, punk, and fury. Of fighting a failed future. A deck-hacking, brick-throwing upheaval of a game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

CY_BORG<\/em> is compatible with multi-award-winning apocalyptic heavy metal RPG M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em>. This is to noise, industrial and underground hiphop what M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em> is to doom and black metal. Rules-light, rage-heavy. A messed-up mirror image of M\u00d6RK BORG RPG<\/em>. Similar in tone and approach to game and book design, but enhanced and augmented. Includes an introductory scenario and \u224860 random tables for your every cyberpunk need.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Written by Christian Sahl\u00e9n, a veteran of the Swedish OSR scene, with art and graphic design by Johan Nohr (M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em>, Into the Odd Remastered<\/em>).<\/p>\n

The game casts the players as cybernetic punks and misfits raging against a relentless corporate system, corrupt police forces, and alien\/nano-worshipping cults. The setting is the dystopian metropolis Cy, the only city that matters.<\/p>\n

Besides an introductory scenario, the 160-page core book is packed with tables to generate near-endless play; including missions, NPCs, locations, corporations, and cults.<\/p>\n

The game uses an updated version of the original M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em> rules, keeping the featherlight openness and simplicity while adding elements like autofire, cybertech, and hacking. The six optional classes include the Shunned Nanomancer, the Burned Hacker, and the Renegade Cyberslasher.<\/p>\n

Since its release in 2020, M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em> has fostered a vibrant, creative and productive community, and so far there are almost a thousand titles released for the game under its third-party license. All these are\u2014with little effort\u2014compatible with CY_BORG<\/em>. Just give it a cyberpunk twist.<\/p>\n

Similar to the apocalyptic prophecies in M\u00d6RK BORG<\/em>, a campaign-defining countdown mechanic will dramatically affect and shape the game world regardless of the players\u2019 actions. In CY_BORG<\/em>, this comes in the shape of Miserable Headlines; catastrophes and events reported by the corp-owned news feeds with varying regularity until the cataclysmic conclusion seven headlines in.<\/p>\n

Nothing is ever static. The city is a living\u2014or rather, dying\u2014place.<\/p>\n
