CBR+PNK (Cyber plus Punk) is a tabletop RPG for one-shot sessions in the cyberpunk genre. You play as a team of runners — mercs, criminals, activists living on the edge and running in the shadows of a gritty, ultraviolent world — on their last run. CBR+PNK features a minimalist version of the acclaimed Forged In The Dark system spread across 12 double-sided four panel pamphlets.
CBR+PNK: Augmented includes everything you need to play as well as six unique add-ons to customize your game.
- [FRAMEWORK] contains all the steps and inspiration you need to build your own CBR+PNK /RUN.
- +WEIRD makes your dystopian world a little brighter and stranger by injecting magic and psionics that work side by side with tech.
- PRDTR is a complete search & rescue scenario with a relentless, adaptable hunter on the character’s track. Inspired by films like Predator, Annihilation and Firebase.
- Mind The Gap is a fast-paced /run ideal for introducing both players and GMs to the system, easily scalable for more experienced participants. Comes with high-quality scenario voice lines (linked below).
- Cyberpunk Hunters is a /plugin that provides premade HUNTERS (operatives focused on taking down the characters) for your CBR+PNK /runs.
- Mona Rise: Megalopolis is a scenario that features an urban complex controlled by three megacorps with plenty of dirty work to be done.
