SO WHAT THE F@#% IS FUTURE STREETS 212X AND WHAT THE

F&^$% IS CYBERPUNK?






FUTURE STREETS 212X is a cyberpunk free form table top

role playing game. A player doesn't need to know the

rules, just come up with a character with a few dice

rolls and a story with the Game Master. It only has the

barest of rules and all you need is a D20 to play.




Cyberpunk is an old term of a prediction of a future of

high technology and big cities that went to shit.

Outside the cites there is nothing but darkness and

evil lawless people (or so they say). 



Despite being far

more advanced than we could ever have dreamed of,

mankind has decided to take the worst possible path

towards their own destruction. 




Corporations rule the

world that they want to and all the rest can go to

hell. People are just an employee number or they are

WORTHLESS. 




Remnants of the government try and feign

power but they don't have the money to have any effect

on the world like the corporations do.

So as a person living in this world you must do what

you can do to survive. Almost everyone is out for

themselves and will back stab you in a second. 





You have

to either be satisfied living in a slum as a victim or

go out like a predator and make your way up the ladder

with the skills you have.

FKR: Free Kreigsspiel: VHS Punk '89 (CORRECTED)







Here is my first big trip inot the FKR land of blog posting. I hope to do it more frequently as the Blogosphere has come back alive once again...


Many of these Ideas came to me and from the FKR DIscord site which is what I call Primordial ROle Playing from back in the day before the rules were written, people made it up! 

https://discord.gg/CrD4P7fvXp



VHS Punk '89



The Setting is Any Big City back in an alternate '89 where shit was violent. Street gangs and organized crime. Sex violence and drugs! The Boss rolls up some bad guys and the Gang rolls up some characters.

The Gang will be criminal sorts of no real value to the world! It's all about getting ahead, betrayal at every turn. People are just getting that way. Need money? Go rob someone. Drug dealers and organized crime always have money but they can shoot back. Banks and casinos are next. Rich people can be held for ransom.

Lots of fucked up evil shit and lots of cussing while playing this game is expected!

Back in '89 technology was almost getting futuristic but computers and cell phones were expensive. The internet, if available was dial up. It was very evident that shit was changing! CDs were starting to show up but cassettes and VCR tapes were the now!

One thing was the music. Go back and make yourself a soundtrack for your game!  Styles were wild and in '89 there were so many throwback styles. The hair was especially great!

Hits 3D6 for an average adult. Less dice for weaker people, more for big lunks.

2D6 v 2D6 winner does damage rolled.


Advantage roll Three dice and pick the best Two.

Disadvantage roll Three dice and pick the worst Two.

Heavy weapons, autofire and Shotguns can add the Extra Dice of damage.
Blast have an area where everyone takes damage.
Autofire Damage can be split between targets and every 6 allows an additional dice to be rolled IF the first roll was a winning roll.

Example: Teds 10HP rolls a 11 with a 5 and a 6 and the pig 11HP rolls a 3. That's 11 damage and then Teds roll another dice for a 5 because he is using a Shotgun for 16 total damage blowing the fucking pig away. Die mother fucker!

Explosives double the damage.

Fighting just knocks out a person at 0 Hits. At Half your hits, your bloodied and look real bad. Heal back 1D6 Fighting damage after an hour of resting, fucking and drinking.




Deadly damage is healed at 1D6 point a week. Skilled Medical treatment can double that.

At Half Hits you are Bloodied and have disadvantage.

At Zero Hits you are unconscious  die in as many minutes as your Negative Hits. Example: Johnny got 10 hits. He takes 13 damage so he is dead in 7 minutes.
First aid requires a roll vs damage. If you don't have the right stuff, it's a Disadvantage!  If successful one can heal 1d6 right away and if you get above 1 hot point you are stabilized.

Armor stops damage.
Light 2
Medium 4
Heavy 6

Cover Stops Damage but it works as a layer of Hit Points
Light 4
Medium 8
Heavy 12

The Pit of Bones Old School 5E Module

The Pit of Bones
Long long ago in the ancient times of old. They dug deep into the stone ground, the Pit of Bones.
That's not how it was said when the world was so young.
It was spoken, whispered, and screamed in another tongue. They disturbed the unquiet dead buried and locked away long ago. Locked away and forgotten where the sane folk should not go. Disturb foolishly not the foul undead. Least you die horribly and your blood flows red. Beware the eyeless death from the red throne. The dead old king will strip your meat from your bloody bones!
That's the tale the old women tell when they want foolish children to not wander into the ancient ruins in the Scaredark Woods and to stay away from the most obvious ruin the old Pit of Bones.
There have been rumors for years of how "It be full of treasure neath tha ol Bonehole" but none have ever had a reason to wander that far into the edges of the Scaredark Forest till now.
The village of Old Tree is in trouble. The merchant caravans aren't coming and the crops have been very poor due to the Famine then floods this year.
It is said that foul beastmen from the wilderness deep have been raiding the merchant caravans out of the edge of the Scaredark near the cursed old ruins. Near where the Pit of Bones is.

Excerpts From Punkinberg

Excerpts From Punkinberg 
the up and coming
Supplement 
for
the
DUNGEONPUNK
RPG

DUNGEONPUNK
PUNKINBERG

NOTE: You the Game Master are now on your own on what the numbers are needed to roll. Make up a difficulty from 1 to 20 and see if they beat that number or just let them roll and interpret by how well they roll. You can also roll dice against dice and see how that goes. Just wing it. Give the example characters weapons as needed. Add more detail as needed.


One giant rotten stinking city state built upon layers of foul ancient ruins is Punkinberg. It sits upon atop a great mountain spire with high walls and a precarious road that one could drop off to the sharp rocks below. Once a small outpost, it grew into a vertical city and a kingdom. It's castles and noble districts glowing like a beacon into the night. It's the midway in a trade route so it's always full of out of towners. It also has an inland dock on a freshwater sea that has another nation across from it.

The Lord Mayor Rufus Malthus of House Malthus runs the city. He is a large fat heavily perfumed but still smells of shit and sweat type of guy. He has a huge greasy head of curly hair and has fancy clothing and white makeup. He is 35 years old. He has many piercings and quite a few pieces of jewelry as well as a silver grill. He is playing all sides and will do anything to keep in power. The Mayor controls the Town Guard and the Sheriff. Destiny 4

The Sheriff Gibby Sun is a little red haired man with a sick attitude. He is 45 years old. He has stabbed his way to the top of the Town Guard and became Sheriff and is stuck up the ass of the Lord Mayor. He is always in his fine chainmail and carries his magical sword Punkslayer and his magical shield Reflectoir. He has his “special” group of mercenary DUNGEONPUNKs he calls the Sun Dogs. They all wear some sort of bright gold tabbard with a sun symbol on the front and back. He has control of the Town Guard as well. Destiny 8

The King Reginald McManus of House McManus is a dashing tall man with long blonde hair. He is tattooed from head to toe with pictures from ancient tales. He normally walks around bare chested with white leather pants and high boots, dragging his family sword Goonkiller in one hand and a bottle in the other. He is 37 years old. He tries to hold onto power but his father left the royal house with too many enemies. Characters that do heroic things shall gain his attention. Destiny 12

The Prince X McManus of House McManus is a spitting image of his father just better looking. Yes his name is just X. He is 15 years old. He cares not for this life and yearns to be free of it all because the prince has no clue and has no knowledge of how shitty the world really is. The prince is stupid. Destiny 3

The Earl Markus Rothchild of House Rothchild is an old DUNGEONPUNK with a purple Mohawk and fine purple garb. His pale skin is accented by dark purple lipstick. He has many silver piercings and jewelry. He makes claim to the throne as his uncle was next in line but killed in childhood, SO thus the crown should have gone to him but he was imprisoned. He has his Rothschilds in their purple tabbards working as muscle for him. Destiny 8

Lord Dorfus of House Dorfus is a Nobleman who worked his way up the ladder as a former slave Bureaucrat in various positions. He is small, bald, and fair as he is a eunuch. He is always very well dressed and surrounded by his 10 or so other little men who are eunuchs as well. He is very knowledgeable in heraldry and everyone of the movers and shakers from high to low in Punkinberg. If you want to know something then talk to him. Destiny 5

Earl Contentious of House Contentious is a minor noble who has aspirations of gaining the throne. He is old and wrinkled with a white mass of hair that looks like a lions mane. He has many piercings and jewelry of silver. He is pretty much a low noble and is terribly in debt. He is vile and evil and is know as a total worm by everyone. He is a drug addict, alcoholic, thief, murder, and liar. He is famous for beating up his child servants for just sheer evil pleasure. In fact he makes a show of it at dinner parties that are not attended by any Noble with any face. His dinner parties are a great place to meet really bad people, cultist, and devil worshipers from the Low side of the city.

Lord Blackfire of House Blackfire is a sharply dressed nobleman with long black hair and beard. He wears leather and jeweled garb and carries a sword stolen from conquest. He is rumored to be a Warlock and devil worshiper. The rumor is true. He does not care if he burns down the world as long as he helps it burn. His tabbard is black leather with an eye on the chest. Destiny 8

The Bishop Isadorous of the State Church of the Fire God is always immaculately dressed in his robes and likes the young men as he always has one at his side. He always has hair and makeup like a weird old woman. He vies for power playing all sides sides and has the power of the State Church backing him with his Red Guard. He is a Healer of great power with a Destiny of 8.

The foreign Prophet Rasputin of the Church of the Mountain God has black robes and long wild deadlocked hair and beard. He is a healer of great power. He tries to incite the people for revolution with his soldiers he calls the Dreadlocks. Destiny 8

Garducci is a foreign diplomat. His two trusted men that accompany him are Porcellini and Bartolinni. They were weird fancy foreigner clothing with lots of jewelry and are heavily perfumed. Their public face is very sociable and kind. They are always throwing charity events for the poor. The Diplomats try and turn everyone against each other by planting rumors and framing up anyone they can. They plan on the Prince marrying their Foreign Princess and will have any rivals assassinated. They all have a Destiny of 6.

The Foreign Princess Nikita Polarmo is a beautiful girl with long black hair. She is sporting a left black eye. She wears Gothic medieval style. She is only 15 years old. She has been trained since birth by the King and Queen Polarmo to get what she wants at any cost and will do anything to marry the Prince. They will then assassinate him and take over the country. She will kill anyone in her way. She is so evil that she tends to kill at least ten or so servants a week. She always has a supply of fresh servants to torture and kill. Her servants are always looking down and show evidence of torture but are also immaculately dressed. She is smart enough to keep this evil side a secret. She has learned to use magic items and may have a few powerful ones. Destiny 5

The Escaped Foreign Servant Girl Mikki has been marked for capture, not death. That will come at the hands of the Foreign Princess Nikita! It appears this servant girl punched the Princess in the eye and escaped with her life when she was being choked out. She is 18 years old. Destiny 2


The Nobles families play all sides vying for position. Almost all nobles are cruel and evil. They will try and kill each other to move up in power. Make up different Noble families to add to these. 

The rest of the city will be detailed but left open for customization.

DUNGEONPUNK CHARACTER SHEET

Being a DUNGEONPUNK you are in a world of backstabbing and deceit. How does one get out of this life? By adventuring in Dungeons and Ancient Crypts! Dungeons and Ancient Crypts are found everywhere. There most likely is one below the city, but if it has already been found then it's most likely looted.They go deep and have their own rules. For some reason the creators of dungeon always filled them with traps. What sick mind would do that? One who wants their treasures for themselves even if they are dead. That won't do. So what kid of traps are there? A game master can never stop making them up. Pit traps (with spikes, acid, boiling oil, flaming oil, etc.), darts, blades, heavy objects, traps, chutes, gases, poisons, alarms, magical effects, and whatever you can devise! Monsters are everywhere in dungeons. IF a dungeon has an empty area then it's trapped or there is something worse than a normal monster. Humanoids, evil cults and the undead tend to stalk dungeons as well as weird lowlife creatures such as giant insects, worms, slimes, and oozes. Dungeons undiscovered and not looted are full of gold and treasure. Remember that there are Magic Items that rule and suck. The Game Master should make up different magical rings, necklaces, belts, potions, scrolls, weapons and armor. Many magic items have a mind of their own and an agenda. Magic items of the lesser sort are part of everyday life. Items like magic lanterns, magical doors, pumps, and elevators. Beware! Anything of value can be treasure. An old book may be worth more than a pile of gold. A DUNGEONPUNK takes advantage of the situation and succeeds where other fail. Beware of cursed items as one cannot get rid of them easily. All cursed items have an agenda and that normally means you might be used and die in the process. Try and give them away or even better sell them to someone who sucks. Let's not forget that swords can fail you, stealth can fail you, magic can fail you, and even the gods can fail you. Always have another plan and an escape route. When you run out of Destiny then you are at the mercy of the dice and the dice hate you

DUNGEONPUNK

DUNGEONPUNK

The stinking dirty giant rotting cities built upon many layers of ancient ruins. The pitiful and weak people hiding in dread behind great stone walls from the chaos outside. All surrounded by the dark and unforgiving wilderness of a dying world.

Far and wide the stony mysterious remnants of some lost foreboding and ancient powerful civilization peak forth from the ruins scattered across the realms waiting centuries to be explored! Ancient and forbidden monster and forgotten nameless demon filled dungeons deep and full of marvelous plunder. The omens have been read and the signs in the stars tell of this age of adventure!

The desperate, brave, pious, and insane adventurers in search of magic and treasure so that one can gain fame, comfort, drink, and pleasure! The fools that delve deep and fear not stirring up of the ancient powers that hide away in the darkness, least they die invisible and forgotten after time! No not these brave and foolhardy ones! Their names shall be remembered and etched in the tales and legends of many generations!

So one may take the sword, dagger, staff, and mace and go forward! Forget not your trusty backpack and equipment for adventure! It is time for one to begin their adventure and not die forgotten by time!

WITHOUT HOPE: A Zombie Survival Horror RPG      



WE don't know how it happened. IT"S finally here. 

The dead have risen to eat the living! 


We don't know how it happened. 










This is not like other games where one is a bad ass Zombie Fighter. You are weak and very human! 


NO matter what, the dead are always there. They never sleep and never rest. 

THE NEVER REST! THAT GODDAMN SOUND THEY MAKE!
THEY ARE EVERYWHERE!





HOW CAN SOMETHING SEE WITH ROTTEN EYES?











It's not just the zombies that you have to worry about! It's the other people! They can be worse than the zombies! 


The game system is really simple, based on old school principles. 


Now your wondering why would someone come out with another Zombie Horror Survival RPG in a small sea of them?  

My fellow writer and I had a vision of a Zombie Horror where the players were just normal people in a world gone mad. With that level of realism brought in a level of fear and tension that previous Zombie RPGs I had written by myself had never had nor had any of the others I have played. 

IN fact I have never had a Zombie Horror game make me so tense! 

With my co-writer there were controls and standards of the Zombie Horror we wanted. 
  • One bite, no matter what and it's over, unless you chop of the limb but that still might not work. 
  • Guns and Combat is deadly realistic yet really simple.
  • Other people are the worst monsters. 
  • Sanity and Humanity scores that reflect the decent into terror and madness from seeing the dead rise to eat the living and the loss of family and friends.
  • Super quick character creation in the old school style of play. If your character dies then roll up another in minutes. 
  • A simple and easy to use percentile based system.  
  • There are no super zombies, intelligent zombies of any kind, just Zombie Horror in it's purest form.

Back to the Dungeon 2nd Edition! Simplified and Stripped!

Plans to simplify Back to the Dungeon RPG are underway!  

The game will still be compatible with the all the modules and such just character creation will be simplified. Many of the long winded modifiers and such will be put either into one word descriptors, or eliminated all together.   

Attribute modifies may be (Have not decided yet) replaced with minimum scores (like an elf needs to have a 16 Dex instead of a +2 to Dex modifier) for certain classes or races. 

The simplicity I was going for was obscured by the "just get it finished" mode I was in. 

After running it for awhile , I noticed that many of the features were not even used so they are going out the door. TOO MUCH CLUNK! This will allow for more customized characters I think.

I also went to make a stack of pregenerated characters for the local CON and said DAMN IT! I did it again! Made it too clunky! It was just too much work!

Here's how it should and is going to be! Roll Attributes, Pick Race, Pick Class, Roll for gold, Buy Stuff, Start playing in less that 10 minutes.   

I am also going to put all the difficulty ratings on the GM. The player will simply roll his D20 plus attribute modifier. On the GM's side will be subtraction of -1 every two levels and if he is skilled then drop the difficulty by 5. The player will not have to deal with any of the math save combat.

A few tweaks on the Armor rules and the price list. 

Monsters are pretty much going to stay the same. 

It will be released as an update on each booklet, so if you already got yours downloaded from DrivThruRPG then you will get this update for free!

Two new releases for sale on DriveThruRPG! STARCLADS: Rules for Science Fiction Adventures and Graphic Novel: A Free Form Supers Role Playing Game


I have released two older completed projects that are in playtest stage that I forgot I had, for sale as a very inexpensive PDF on DriveThruRPG! If you like my games then feel free to tell the world! 

MOST of my games are made to make fold over zine booklets because Zine Booklets are cool and beat the MAN.  

They have been free online for years in one form or another but now I have decided to make them available for a very low price as I am unemployed and uninsured. 


STARCLADS
Rules for Science Fiction Adventures
Version 0.357
Role Playing Adventures in Science Fiction
The story so far…
There has been a terrible war that has left the systems in turmoil. There are many dead planets out in the galaxy that no side won as the war itself ruined the planets.
The year is guessed at somewhere around 21,777 give or take 20 years either way. Much of the records of the 10 million inhabitable planets and the 300 billion stars are lost as well as most of past history. The planet Terra is a lost legend from long ago although some of its churches and cultures still do exist in much evolved forms. It was found that humans were all over the galaxy and even in some other galaxies that have been explored. Many of these humans have changed or been modified into very strange sub-races.
There are many sections of the universe that are suited for different styles of play and one can feel free to add another section as much of the STARCLADS universe is unexplored or undocumented due to the great collapse.


This game is first and foremost a Space Opera styled RPG. It also has the features of an economic game with fortunes being made and lost.

UNLIKE many other Sci-Fi RPGs it is very rules light! 

STARCLADS is also a very dramatic Tactical Space Combat War Game.
