CARBON 2185 is a Cyberpunk RPG world developed and built using the Open Game License of 5e of the Dungeon and Dragons roleplaying game. They have taken their favorite parts of that system, removed what didn’t fit their vision of the cyberpunk world and they also added their own layer of mechanics and rules which fits within the cyber world. Shinjuku Omoide Yokocha (Piss Alley or Memory Lane) is a Izakaja, a small informal Japanese Bar. It is our late night stop over after heavy drinking or finishing up a run. It is also were we meet our Johnson’s for Jobs. Kaoru Kobayashi is the owner of the Izakaja. His Yakitori-Grilled Chicken Skewers almost make you believe its real chicken and the Udon and Soba Noodles are perfection. Above and beyond his cooking skills are his skills stitching up wounds. Rumor has it he is a retired military doctor. He has a presence… a stillness… He gets 5% of our work contracts signed in his place. Works for us! Walk down the crowded streets of San Francisco, Manhattan, Tokyo or London among others with your team. It is dangerous during the day but it turns deadly when darkness descends and you make your way through a bombardment of noise, neon lights, the smell of the noodle stands, blasting music, noisy crowds, guns shots and police sirens. This campaign will run six to eight 3-4 hour sessions
excluding session zero. Player characters will start at 1st level with a
modified ability score array: 18, 15,
14, 13, 11, 8. PC’s will start at max hit die + con mod 1-3 level. Backgrounds
will be discussed during session zero.
This is a fucking dangerous world. There are no healing
potions or healing spells. There are doctors, hospitals, medicine,
augmentations and street docs to help when injured but there are no guarantees
you will survive. Trust your team, armor, weapons, skills, strategic planning
and with luck you might see another day.
