The RPG engine AGE from Green Ronin powers The Expanse RPG and now has a Cyberpunk Slice.
To use Cyberpunk Slice, which is only $12.95 as a digital download, you will also require the basic Modern AGE rulebook. Modern AGE contains the rules for AGE in contemporary times and Cyberpunk Slice is the optional add-on for the grim and collapsing global ecology.
What do you get in the 60-page download? Green Ronin’s own webstore reveals the table of contents.
As you might expect from Altered Carbon, there are rules for body-swapping and for playing artificial-life characters.
Cyberpunk Slice adds new backgrounds, new professions, new focuses, talents and specialisations that you might have as someone in a future where bodies can be made, and minds transferred online.
The cyberpunk sourcebook also adds rules for cybernetic augmentations, genomic changes and nanotech. There are future weapons, armour, drones and vehicles.
Fans of hacking and cyber-tactics have multiple options for cyberspace, which can be another battleground all the way through to text-on-terminal throwbacks.
If all this is daunting, Slice also contains a retrospective on using the cyberpunk genre in your game. Geek Native’s Genre Police did the same back in 2018 with The Mother Of All Punks!
