CYBORGURLIG (PRINT)

CORPORATE CYBERPUNK, BECAUSE SOMEONE HAS TO OWN THE APOCALYPSE

CYBORGURLIG turns the usual corporate cyberpunk campaign around.

Instead of fighting the corporation, you work for it.

The Blodrak Corporation knows that reality is a simulation. It has injected operatives into that simulation and is running it repeatedly at many times normal speed, searching for a way to prevent the end of the world.

After all, the world is where Blodrak keeps all its money.

Unfortunately, the simulated population, governments, corporations and cyberpunks keep fucking everything up.

That is where you come in.

Your job is to try new approaches, troubleshoot the simulation and guide events towards an eventual positive outcome.

You are the corporate agents trying to save the world.

Or, at least, that is what the corporation says.

And no, you are not paid for the time you experience inside the simulation. You are paid for the hours that pass in reality.

Assuming reality is even reality.

CYBORGURLIG is a collection of ideas and inspiration for running a corporate-focused game or campaign using CY_BORG.

Inside you’ll find:

• Corporate character classes.

• Alternative character-generation material.

• A modified mission generator.

• Additional ideas and material for corporate-focused play.

• The Blodrak Corporation campaign premise.

• A simulated world that keeps refusing to behave as intended.

The title combines several appropriately mangled ideas:

• Cyber: relating to computers and the internet.

• Cyborg: a creature that is part human and part machine.

• URL: a website address.

• Borgerlig: the Swedish term for the bourgeois or middle class.

The result is corporate cyberpunk viewed from the other side of the security desk.

The world is ending.

The corporation would prefer that it did not.

Report to work.
