Neotech Edge

TTRPG with a fresh take on cyberpunk. Digital social platforms have evolved into all-seeing superhuman AI:s, while anon and nomo fight back against the System.

What makes Neotech different from other 'cyberpunk" games?

It is the perspective by which we have cultivated the world. The feeling out of visceral emotions that shape humanity. You are not just a rebel. You are human.

To close off this thread, here's an image leaked from an unknown data center where something fishy is going on. For more info, better wait for the anon book where they managed to leak info on the top 10 artilects from the Turing registry.

Thread pt 2: Artilects. Let's start with the word. AI is all over the place already today, and in Neotech very much so. Most eqip can be considered smart and many of them can learn, see patters, take commands, converse, and so on. But they are not truly intelligent or self-aware

We tested a rule where the GM would get "flow dice" to represent what the artilects are trying to achieve in the world. That everything that happens the PCs somehow have a pattern behind it. Or that dice from smart eqip can be subtly influenced. Something for a future book!

Neotech's platforms count their user bases or citizens in the billions, giving them rights, passports, pay basic income or charge taxes and fees. You can be a member of more than one platform if you can afford it, but completely switching platform is akin to a life reset.

Time for a new thread about Neotech's themes, summing up a live chat we had in Discord on Sunday. Today's topic - Platforms & Artilects.

Quote from anon: »the platforms engineer how you feel, think and vote. They control the mood of the basers so that they don’t go Disangani and revolt - or at least direct their anger at the right target. You consume the product, but never forget that you also are the product.«
