Axon Punk - Kickstarter survived!

Tabletop RPG mixing #hiphop & #cyberpunk. Like Samurai Champloo in gritty futuristic megacities. Made in collaboration w @SugarGamers. New Kickstarter complete!

Check out this cute video by @TrashTheory about @gorillaz' first single. Gorillaz was definitely one of the bands that laid the foundation for #AxonPunk - blending the digital world with the physical world, seamlessly interweaving genres, also... holograms

We are very sad to announce that pioneering DJ who revolutionised the sound of Jamaican music in the early Seventies – Ewat Beckford aka U Roy has passed away at the age of 78 yesterday in Jamaica.

RIP U Roy, The Originator

We have "Feint" as example under "Combat Improvisation" (accessible to all PCs) - it lets you take -20 to Attack and Dodge rolls one round to gain +20 to Attack rolls next round.

Crits in #AxonPunk come when your Attack beats a Dodge roll by 50 or more - one misstep from a KO.

Ali was someone our grandfather (GP MD) and father (sport historian) encouraged both #WrongBrothers to deeply respect as an athlete and person.

Feints and knock-outs like this are explicitly in Axon Punk's core rules - watch out when a Cyberized does it.

A fun one to start your week from @Solar_Sas:

Well-researched dive into how corporate art in the internet/digital age has changed compared to what came before.

Good perspective on what could happen with Megacorp art by 2085. #cyberpunk #axonpunk #ttrpg

Our story was largely based off things like the #2pac hologram back at Coachella and other rough experiments with similar tech.

This is from 2012 but it's still a mix of emotions to watch a dead man perform live.

In #cyberpunk news this week - microsoft patents technology to make post-humous chatbots and visuals.

This resembles the first generation of commercial AI in #AxonPunk's timeline - we've got a story about them in our corebook and how scary they can get...

@zapptuff yay! we super appreciate it! 😁 it's been a work of love for us and gets better every day. Looking forward to sharing more, your twitter feed is quality!

[Axon Punk - Kickstarter survived! @AxonPunk]

@PupSalient @zapptuff @CaseyExplosion 😁 thanks so much! we super appreciate it. lots more to come with the new edition!

[Axon Punk - Kickstarter survived! @AxonPunk]

@Jotgnar @Polygon If you want another alternative, check out our #ttRPG Axon Punk. We feel the genre has been evolving beautifully, but primarily through hip hop. @JanelleMonae, @SaulWilliams and other artists/writers have pushed hard and still do.

New edition coming soon! https://t.co/MzF3CR1mFY

[Axon Punk - Kickstarter survived! @AxonPunk]

@Polygon Absolutely! That was a huge reason why we started making Axon Punk (working on our new edition now!).

We chose to use #hiphop as the corner stone of our #cyberpunk game/world because it has such a foundation in #DIY tech, underground movements, etc.

@Cambert123 @Lonelystarrd22 @CaseyExplosion Metal boxes and plastic-y buttons are very useful! We also love heavy cords and high-quality jacks - best/fastest way to exchange data. True for William Gibson, Grandmaster Flash, and it's still true today.

Those are a big part of the aesthetic for our game/world in #AxonPunk.

@mattihaserotu @Lonelystarrd22 @CaseyExplosion For sure (we think!), graffiti is one of the four pillars of hip hop. We're working on adding stuff about tagging competitions and the impact of tagging on MegaCorps for our new edition. Kinda like Jet Set Radio crossed with an episode of Samurai Champloo

@Lonelystarrd22 @CaseyExplosion Oh yeah, you are totally right! From Grand Master Flash, all the way across the biggest stars today.

We love how hip hop has so much cyberpunk baked in - really more than any other music genre or culture if you ask us. New edition coming soon!

@pahnita what a find! very cool!

[Axon Punk - Kickstarter survived! @AxonPunk]

that's looking better. We'll see if our weekly Axon Punk playtest group can stand it 😁

[Axon Punk - Kickstarter survived! @AxonPunk]

Guess who got the jankiest little green screen setup you've ever seen? Got to play with the settings and hang it better (currently doubled over hanging on a... hockey stick).

Feeling a bit #cyberpunk Red Green over here, but no duct tape yet. #canadianengineering #stickdown
