Altered Carbon: The Role Playing Game - Core Rules

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome to the Dystopian Cyberpunk Neo-Noir World of Altered Carbon

The human mind is nothing more than digital code –Digital Human Freight– saved and stored in a Cortical Stack, advanced technology that allows you to “re-sleeve” your entire consciousness into a new body.

In the official Altered Carbon role playing game based on the hit Netflix series, wear any body you can afford, transmit your mind across the cosmos in an instant, and, if you’ve got the credits and political cachet, re-sleeve time and again for centuries, accumulating enough wealth and power over the millennia to become the societal equivalent of an immortal god.

Welcome to Bay City

Included inside the Core Rulebook, you’ll find:

  • Rules to play Archetypes ranging from Socialites to Soldiers.
  • Explore the expansive metropolis Bay City in both its criminal Underground, and vaunted Aerium world of the immortal meths.
  • A highly customizable Trait and tech system.
  • Storytelling-focused rules, that help create dramatic tension inside of combat and intrigue outside combat.
  • The means in which to transfer your characters digital consciousness into a new sleeve should they come to a tragic end.
  • Opponents ranging from unhinged augmented thugs to cunning and manipulative political adversaries.

With the prize of immortality at your fingers, the question is, what price will you pay for it? What stories will you tell?

Your neon-drenched adventures await!

Bought it on another platform, but is there any chance of getting errata?
There seems to be no errata on the Hunters Entertainment website.
There are a lot of issues which could use some attention.

Does this by chance use a similar resolution engine to Outbreak: Undead...? I love the combat in that game, and applying it to cyberpunk sounds mighty appealing...

Seems it does! Did some digging and found the pre-release play on Youtube. By no means identical, but very reminiscent. Reminiscent enough that I jumped right in!

I bought a copy of the deluxe edition core book today from my FLGS, then went online to renegadegamestudios.com and huntersentertainment.com. The files referenced in the back of the book, under 'online resources,' are not available, on either site. Please address this issue. Thank you for your time and attention.

Hey Brandon.
The Publisher keeps all of the free downloads and online resources on the product page. Was there something specific you were looking for?

The information at the back of my book mentions, "On our website you will find:
*Character Sheets
*Blank Sheets
*Pregenerated Characters
*Equipment Sheets with multiple variants.
*The Quick Start Guide featuring The Altered Carbon The Role Playing Game Official Rules Summary
*A sample scenario from the campaign Bay City Confidential: Career Suicide
*Additional appendices, sheets and lore information"

However, all I can find is the character sheet and a GM screen panel. Additionally, I am surprised the character sheet is not form-fillable or printer friendly.

Thank you for your time and attention.

My friends and I backed this on the Kickstart campaign. So far I am loving it, with a couple of notable exceptions. One there is no black character sheet anywhere in the book. While that is easily overlooked in favor of filling that space with more content. The fact that there is only one, non-form fillable pdf version of the character sheet is where I have a very large issue. Now I am frustrated, I want to make a character but I am left to make notes in a text document and wait until I can print out the character sheet.

The real question is... How is the pdf? Full of errors or did they had more care with it in the Core Book?

I am still not that far into my read-through of the book. So far I haven't noticed any errors, but as I said I haven't read as much as I would have liked to.

I've only read the downloads from their website. The Rules Summary has potential, but needs serious help. I haven't read a more difficult to follow and poorly organized rules set. However, they work done on this world is commendable and the basic concepts on how to deal with sleeves versus stacks is good.

These writers have great ideas, but they need help.

This about sums up this core rulebook. Calling it disorganized would be a compliment. Doesn't give much hope for Werewolf.

I Only read the Quick Start Rules, and wanted to buy the Core Book, but I saw there were a lot of Typos and phrase construction errors, my question is, will we get updated PDFs in the future when new corrected editions release, or I'll be stuck with the edition I bought?

Also I would suggest a symbology chart somewhere, seeing as Symbols are used as main pointers in the Rules system and I kinda got lost in the 60 or something pages of the Quick Start Rules :)

Given all the errors you describe, which I also easily found when viewing the preview, are apparently present in the printed book and that I have seen comments on the Kickstarter regarding the production quality of the book itself I wouldn't hold out too much hope on corrections from this publisher (especially since they apparently went ahead with printing with such obvious errors still present).

And I say the above as a backer for the deluxe version of the printed book, something I expect I will regret even more by the time my copy actually turns up.

Does this PDF version form the basis of the printed book, as I can still see mising words, typos, a definite overuse of commas and other errors just in the 16 page preview?

Yes. Notable other errors seem to be in charts. Mostly incorrect symbology, missing data, and even a missing chart.

It uses a modified version of the Hazard System. Like a reverse savage worlds. With D4 being the superior dice.

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.
