World of Chrome - Pbta
A downloadable game
World of Chrome is a hack of World of Dungeons by John Harper and the Powered by the Apocalypse framework developed by Vincent and Meguey Baker. I designed it to be used for playing games that feel like the works of Philip K. Dick, William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, etc.
World of Chrome seeks to emulate the specific genre of Cyberpunk. Cyberpunk is a sub-genre of science fiction with an emphasis on high tech and low life. This form of speculative fiction preoccupies itself with many subjects regarding the future, including but not limited to:
- The uncertainty of AI
- Big Brother
- Mega corporations
- Corporate wars
- Androids and Humanity
- Transhumanism
- Cybernetic augmentation
- Brain virtualization and Transplant
- Grey morality
- Freedom of information
- Worshiping of technology
- Crime and the Black market
- Cyberspace and Virtual reality
- Dystopia disguised as Utopia
- Mega cities
- Privately owned society
- Private militaries
- Wet works
- Corporate culture
This game is broken in to sections including:
- GM Principals and Agenda
- Detailed Classes, Skills and Attributes
- Subsystem rules for Humanity, Addiction, Therapy
- Details and rules for creating gear and weapons
- Rules for making NPCs
- Guidelines for Campaign design
- Guidelines for Cyberspace
- Guidelines for Cyberware
And many more!
I hope to take what I learn from this project and create a larger game with a more fleshed out rule book, background, lore and more art.
