:Otherscape is a fantasy-cyberpunk role-playing game that combines supernatural powers inspired by mythology and legend with the gritty neon-lit streets of a sprawling futuristic Megacity.
It takes your game group on a rollercoaster ride of gunfights, vehicle chases, cyberspace heists, urban wasteland exploration, clashes of mythology and technology, faction wars, and philosophical questions about the nature of being human — and how to transcend it.
Mythic-Powered Mercs
You play as a crew of opeartives, hired-guns, or survivors caught in the new global arms race between corporations, collapsing governments, and crime syndicates, all rushing to secure Sources of mythical power and cutting-edge tech. You could be:
- A sourcerous gunslinger shooting enchancted bullets
- A chromed-up Norse cyborg wielding the power of Mjölnir
- A spirit of knowledge revelling in cyberspace
- A scavenger and smuggler of illegal Sources, exlporing the urban wilds
- A corporate executive who strikes bargains with the Devil's seal
- And much more!
A Perfect Mix of Cinematic and Tactical
:Otherscape is powered by the Mist Engine, an improved and streamlined version of the cinematic City of Mist engine:
- Craetivity unchained with characters made of keywords, not predefined stats, allowing you to create any imaginable character, tech, or magic system.
- No more endless subsystems to memorize - resolve all actions with one simple yet highly customizable roll.
- Move seamlessly between narrative and tactical action resolution, keeping the story moving and the conflicts rich and rewarding.
- Choices transform gameplay: Characters transform based on their motivations and roleplay, and can evolve into different types of being such as cyborg, singularity, or transhuman, which endow them with new power sets and abilities.
- Play in the :Otherscape setting or any cyberpunk setting of your choice; this open system is easily adapatable to any universe.
