CY_BORG by Stockholm Kartell and Free League Publishing 

It’s on the way in the mail currently

See, Mork Borg does NOTHING for me, like at all beyond being an art book. But this? Ooooh hell yeah.

Wow, well done Bud. Your videos keep getting better and better. I’m looking forward to bringing this one to the table.

Have a copy and love it! Yet to play but makes a lovely pairing with Dancing with Bullets Under a Neon Sun (The Black Hack cyberpunk book).

Excellent review and I agree whole-heartedly. I had the pleasure of running this at SoonerCon in Norman, Oklahoma, USA on 22 June 2024 and it was a blast. I had the players scan a QR code right off of my mobile phone's screen which took them to a one-button character generator [Waste of Creds - A CY_BORG Character Generator]. Then I handed out the one-page rules compilation. The rules lite played very smoothly and I had no complaints by the end. I was asked to run it again next year - but at night, to allow a few of the mature themes to be more fully explored.

Great review. I plan to infect my Traveller, Cyberpunk or Cities without Number with CY_BORG.. or maybe even my Delta Green campaign.

Looks like a pretty slick and interesting product!

i mean i liked the idea and style of Mörk Borg, but i hold off yet as not the most intriguing, so i was cautious with this one. But it looks and sounds awesome, so thanks for showing us!

Hail the hands of Forbidden knowledge!

As with Mork Borg previously, I think Cy-Borg is really a horror game, first and foremost, set in the milieu of the fantasy/sci-fi tropes respectively. It is style over substance for the most part, but the ‘reset’ aspect to its background gives it a gnostic theme while making longer term campaigning difficult to envisage. It’s closest relative is possibly SLA Industries or maybe even Paranoia (a completely different tone) but it isn’t going to be a substitute for a Cyberpunk (or Traveller) campaign.

Great vid.

Great hacker intro. I run Cy_borg all the time. Thanks for giving it the attention it deserves.

Mork Borg was very, very much not my cup of tea. This seems much more my thing. I may have to check this out.

this book is so small, or your hands are so big ? ;-)

This seems far more derivative than original, even for the third or fourth generation of the OSR.
