CY_BORG

A Nano-infested doomsday RPG about cybernetic misfits and punks raging against a relentless corporate hell.

Overview

CY_BORG is a cyberpunk tabletop RPG created by Christian Sahlén and Johan Nohr of Stockholm Kartell, published by Free League Publishing in 2022 following a November 2021 Kickstarter. It's a direct spin-off of
MÖRK BORG https://groupfinder.gg/library/mork-borg-2020
, Pelle Nilsson and Nohr's doom-metal-flavored apocalyptic fantasy game from 2020, swapping that game's black-metal dark fantasy for a noise, industrial, and underground-hip-hop-inspired vision of cyberpunk - and it's fully compatible with MÖRK BORG's own rules and content. Where MÖRK BORG is often pitched as a doom metal album in RPG form, CY_BORG plays the same trick with a different genre, trading gothic dread for corporate-hellscape rage.

Description

Playing CY_BORG means playing one of six ready-made classes - the Forsaken Gang-Goon, Shunned Nanomancer, Renegade Cyberslasher, Burned Hacker, Orphaned Gearhead, or Discharged Corp Killer - dropped into the sprawling megacity of Cy, a world of warring corporations, gangs, cults, and an alien nanotech infestation that keeps mutating everything it touches.  Character creation is quick and dirty, mostly determined by dice rolls across tables for abilities, gear, quirks, and even who a character owes money to, staying true to MÖRK BORG's rules-light, rulings-before-rules design philosophy. Sessions tend to run as short, dangerous jobs - the included introductory heist, Lucky Flight Takedown, has players scope out and hit a casino - rather than long-form dungeon delving, and death comes easily enough that a fresh, disposable punk is always just a few dice rolls away.

Hello, fellow gamers. My name is Marlon, but everyone calls me Jay-long story there that I won’t get into. Anyways, I’m the forever DM in my family, and I run weekly podcast games for my wife. We’ve designed a tabletop RPG called Prosperon: A Bio‑Cyberpunk RPG, and we’re actively looking for more playtesters. If that interests you, shoot me a message and we’ll make it happen. With that being said, I’m also an active player in several games. I’m currently in a Blades in the Dark campaign every Thursday, which is absolutely amazing, and I have a few open biweekly days where I can commit to another game-as long as it’s the right game, the right crew, and the right day and time. That’s all for now. Take care, and don’t forget-have fun at your table.

Hey there, Have been playing a lot of DnD 5E but have gradually shifted to other systems. My local group is currently playing Mork Borg with me DMing.  Generally I would love to dive deeper into Shadowdark, other Borgs, OSE and into the Odd but open to try all systems.

Writer, illustrator, gm, and player. Most experience in 5E and Mothership.  Prefer role play heavy, character driven, political intrigue type games, with a little bit of crunch. Combat is fun, and can be roleplay heavy too. Fail forward! Big into systems/sims.

RPG Map is a free, browser-based map viewer built around gradual map reveal — Fog of War. It's not a map-making suite and doesn't try to be one (for creating maps, tools like Dungeondraft or Watabou's generators are a better fit). Instead, it focuses on one thing: taking a finished map and revealing it to your players piece by piece, in person or online. The GM loads a map and shares a link. Players open it on any device — laptop, tablet, or phone — and everything stays in sync in real time: as the GM erases fog, moves tokens, or pans the view, players see it instantly. No installation, no account, no ads, and no fees. Features: Fog of War — reveal the map gradually with a simple brush and eraser Realtime synchronization — players follow the GM's reveals live via a shared link Drag & drop tokens — place and move character and monster tokens on the map Automatic grid detection — the grid aligns to your map without manual setup Built-in library — free maps and tokens to get started right away Mobile ready — works in the browser on phones and tablets, nothing to install Whether you play at a physical table with a shared screen or fully online, RPG Map keeps setup to seconds: open, load, reveal.

The campaign starts with a group of ordinary fantasy tavern workers who win their workplace lottery. Unfortunately, the prize isn't money. They've won a place in a televised dungeon-crawling competition run by a ridiculously powerful interplanetary corporation. The show is intended to be a mixture of Dungeon World, fantasy workplace comedy, corporate satire, sci-fi/fantasy and a televised death game.
