*Punk - A Retroclone RPG System for Making Your own *Punk Games (PDF)

A RETROCLONE SYSTEM FOR BUILDING YOUR OWN *PUNK GAMES

Cyberpunk. Steampunk. Dieselpunk. Atompunk. Biopunk.

Whatever sort of future, alternative history or technological nightmare you want to create, *Punk provides a flexible roleplaying system upon which to build it.

Based on the Action! rules and related to the same broad mechanical tradition as Interlock, *Punk is designed particularly for modern, alternative-history and near-future campaigns.

It provides the system rather than imposing a single setting. Decide what changed, who controls the world, what technology is available and what the characters intend to do about it.

A FLEXIBLE FOUNDATION

*Punk is a generic roleplaying system rather than a predetermined campaign world.

Use it to create corporate dystopias, alternate histories, technological conspiracies, ecological futures, retro-science-fiction settings or worlds based around a new “punk” genre of your own invention.

The rules can support original campaigns or published settings written for the system, including Postcards from Avalidad.

Miguel Ribeiro, creator of Postcards from Avalidad, has described the system as flexible, simple and easy to modify, making it suitable for settings and scenarios which need a functional rules framework without allowing mechanics to overwhelm the campaign.
