Retropunk: Minimalist Cyberpunk Roleplaying

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Retropunk is a cyberpunk, tabletop roleplaying game in which the players embody characters in a futuristic hybrid reality—where the digital and physical have merged. Everyone experiences a world beyond augmented reality through their neurochip, tech implanted at birth. But by hacking these ‘chips, they traverse this new reality free from monitoring.

Using this cloak of anonymity they combat the corporatocracy that controls urban sprawls across countries and continents. They snatch resources away from those in power and use their gains to fuel their resistance. As the rebellion grows, they take on more powerful factions.

The rules are inspired by such games as White Hack, World of Dungeons, Blades in the Dark, and The Veil.

Inside this core book you will find:

  • Rules for an approach system—similar in some ways to a skill tree—which guides character creation, is paired with a robust character improvement system and adapts to the play style of the characters.
  • Easy and satisfying dice-rolling mechanics that use gradients of success and puts an emphasis on teamwork and tackling problems dynamically.
  • 3 character classes with special abilities. Identify which one fits the kind of character you want quickly and build your character fast!
  • A system for factions and contacts that promotes acquiring new resources to take the fight to the megacorporations. Grow relationships, gain access to better equipment, intel, and allies.
  • Procedures for creating districts: areas within urban sprawls the size of cities, functioning as microworlds. Characters move from district to district, “city crawling”, experiencing different locales, and challenges.
  • Discover a cyberpunk world through play by using evocative setting elements designed as scaffolding to build upon.
  • 7 pieces of additional content crafted from the setting elements as evocative, useful examples to be used as you see fit.
  • And lots more!

Retropunk has a full-color interior with over 30 pieces of fantastic art with a professional layout. The PDF is optimized with bookmarks, hyperlinks, a table of contents, an index, layers that separate graphics from text and the files are both low res and high res for easier viewing.

Is this the finished product? Or is this a placeholder because the final product hasn't been created yet?

If it is just a placeholder and the final product hasn't been released yet, then that is fine and I will be patient.
If this is the final product, the description of "professional layout" is wildly inaccurate.

I don't want to rip a book to shreds in the review if it's not the actual product, so I am double checking.

If you wanna go full artsy yet functional, look at Mörk Borg. :)

I can see this going for a pseudo 90s retro vibe, Hypnospace Outlaw for instance did this very well.

I’m a huge Whitehack fan so this is right up my alley. Upon first glance, I’m noticing a lot of typoes and errata. If you’re interested, I’m happy to mark up what I find and send it your way for review. I’ll be doing it for myself anyway!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
