Fate Plus Cyberpunk

The future will not bring hope...

... only the struggle for survival. You have to be active, or the world will run over you mercilessly. Be determined and smart. Maybe you don’t need strength, but everyone needs a little luck. The world is very big and full of uncertainty, dark streets, neon lights, and violence; a chaotic place.

Fate Plus Cyberpunk is a 112-pages brainstorm about super-polluted, claustrophobic megalopolises with people piled up in dark, oppressive narrow streets. Pollution, garbage, and loud noises are part of everyday life; they are the essence of humanity. Nature is a luxury few can envision; depleted natural resources are replaced by dirty, hot, and noisy technologies.

In this zine, the GM will find tools to create stories about oppressed PCs, punks in a cyber world, who struggle to survive, destroy corporations and overthrow governments.

Are you ready to explore this world? Welcome to the cyberpunk era.
