[*][B]WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?[I]Carbon 2185[/I][/B] combines cyberpunk and [B]5e[/B] without the fantasy elements. Focusing on design, excellent artwork, and creating sourcebooks to expand the game (something lacking in many RPGs in the latter half of the 2010s), this campaign funds a new book of adventures to the line, [B][I]Terminal Overdrive [/I][/B](150 pages), plus adding 10 pages to the existing core rulebook bringing it to 294 pages. If you’re looking for the cyberpunk [B]5e[/B] hack, try [B][I]Carbon 2185[/I][/B].

Optionally, using their guide cards you can run this without a GM.

[URL='https://bogleech.com/mortasheen.htm']Jonathan Wojcik[/URL] shares a lot of the vision for the setting in which you play as weird monsters (of which there are many), but not a lot about the RPG’s mechanics (though there are some hints [URL='https://bogleech.com/mortasheen.htm']here[/URL]). There’s heavy emphasis on the unique and gonzo nature of this world combined with the fact that they started developing the RPG in 2009 and hope to have it out in 2021.

To climb onboard, you’ll need to read about concepts like Llyhn, the Eternal City of the cosmos that humanity survives in, and accept them in order to invest in the wider game and system.
