*Punk - A Retroclone for Making Your Own *Punk Games (PRINT)

BUILD THE FUTURE. THEN BREAK IT.

Cyberpunk. Steampunk. Dieselpunk. Solarpunk.

Atompunk, biopunk, clockpunk, nanopunk, necropunk—and whatever ridiculous compound word somebody invents next Tuesday.

Every flavour of “-punk” presents its own technology, aesthetics and anxieties, but they share a common need: characters capable of surviving dangerous worlds, confronting powerful institutions and making an extraordinary mess while doing so.

**Punk – A Retroclone for Making Your Own Punk Games gives you the rules and tools to build those games yourself.

Drawing upon the heritage of the classic Action!/Interlock family of rules, *Punk provides a flexible, accessible system particularly suited to modern, alternative-history and near-future settings. Use it to create desperate street operatives in a corporate dystopia, revolutionary mechanics beneath a clockwork monarchy, wasteland scavengers in an atomic retrofuture or ecological troublemakers defending a solar-powered utopia.

The setting, technology and degree of misery are yours.

Inside you’ll find:

• Complete rules for creating and developing characters.

• A flexible skill-based system built for action and adventure.

• Rules suitable for combat, equipment, technology and dangerous environments.

• A foundation for designing your own worlds, campaigns and genre variations.

• A familiar retroclone framework that can be adapted, expanded and thoroughly abused.

• Support for everything from gritty contemporary action to extravagant speculative futures.

Use it for:

Atompunk • Biopunk • Clockpunk • Cyber Noir • Cyberprep • Cyberpunk • Decopunk • Dieselpunk • Dungeonpunk • Elfpunk • Islandpunk • Lunarpunk • Mythpunk • Nanopunk • Necropunk • Nowpunk • Postcyberpunk • Raypunk • Retrofuture • Rococopunk • Solarpunk • Steampunk • Steelpunk • Stonepunk • Transhuman games

Or invent your own.

After all, attaching “-punk” to a noun is the easy part.

Making the resulting world coherent, playable and entertaining is where this book comes in.
