Uprising: The Dystopian Universe RPG

by Brian Engard, Anna Meade, Joshua Yearsley (Editor)

In a cyberpunk, dystopian future, the citizens of Paris Nouveau are no more than indentured servants. Virtual reality has come at a cost they can never pay, a tradeoff of freedom for technology. But there are freedom fighters who reject the system, unplugging from the illusion and working to make things right once again. They are la Résistance.

Rise up and defy the corporations in the Uprising: The Dystopian Universe RPG, set in the same universe as The Resistance, Coup, and One Night Revolution from Indie Boards & Cards.

I love the setting, and it's a really interesting twist on the Fate Core system. The mechanics are a bit crunchier than I expected, almost to the point where it feels like a board game, but I think that was intentional. It's meant to provide a lot of structure for people coming from board games to RPGs for the first time. I'm going to try running it next week so we'll see how it goes.

I wish it offered more detail on specific locations in the setting since I'm not great at coming up with them on my own, but hopefully the upcoming supplements from the Kickstarter will help with that.
