/OPEN_DIRECTORY_INTRODUCTION

In a not too far future, the dualities of existence have been shattered. Human / machine. Transience / immortality. Real / virtual. Body / conscience. Self / many. Biological life / artificial life.

In BROKEN BINARY, you play the role of cyber-enhanced security agents freed from normal protocol restrictions, straddling the line between military and vigilantes within a futuristic metropolis.

Characters can be created in a matter of minutes, and the gameplay is fast and upfront, with a focus on the players' creativity when it comes to cybernetic implants and gear [which can be improvised in medias res, making for flexible and competent characters]. The game works best for episodic scenarios: think of your favorite crime series or sci-fi investigation anime.

.SYSTEM_ERROR:SETTING_NOT_FOUND

This is a minimalist product, focused on providing you with a portable cyberpunk rpg experience. You will not find detailed setting information [but you will find a list of key inspiration sources]. The game also expects you to have some familiarity with rules-light roleplaying games [one experienced person within the group will be more than enough, as the game engine can be picked up pretty quickly]. The game only requires six-sided dice [five of those will be more than enough].

/OPEN_DIRECTORY_CONTENTS:

 .The core rules fit on the front and back of a single A4 paper. Can be folded to form a depliant, as shown in the picture below!

 .Character sheets ("badges") are included in two versions: standard A4 printing and professional front-and-back printing.

I was thinking about creating a minimalistic RPG based on the old game "Syndicate". Then I found this... I have to buy it.

A good work, indeed. It evokes the atmosphere of the setting, albeit with few elements. An interesting system that puts into the player's imagination the tools to improve the story. A challenge for the Masters. Superlative for one-shots and short-term adventures.

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.
