Cool, Chrome + Cybernetics [C3]

Cool, Chrome + Cybernetics (aka [C3]) is a lightly competitive map-labelling RPG in a Cyberpunk / Near Future City setting using the Beak, Feather & Bone system by Tyler Crumrine.  It can also be used as a tool for collaborative worldbuilding and narratives in this and other Sci-Fi RPG genres.

Starting with an unlabelled city or area map, players are assigned factions to represent before taking turns claiming and describing locations. You are not building a city or area — everything on the map already exists—you’re merely fleshing out each building’s or section's role in the community. As buildings are claimed, a narrative for the city and its inhabitants will emerge, including major NPCs and shifting power-dynamics.

 This is designed for 1 to 10 players but can easily be played with more if you add additional faction roles. For solo play, simply assign yourself multiple factions and alternate between them as you draw cards and label your map.

TO PLAY [C3] YOU’LL NEED

• a stack of note cards
• writing utensils
• colouring utensils
• an unlabelled map (provided)
• a standard deck of playing cards
• sticky notes (optional)
• a 10-sided die (optional)

The above of course can also be represented digitally. (Especially if you’re a hacker!)
