Learn-to-Play :OTHERSCAPE – The Mythic Cyberpunk RPG

About the Game

Enter the :OTHERSCAPE

Welcome to the world of :OTHERSCAPE, where ancient myths have pervaded the cyberpunk landscape of a dystopian near future.

Players take on the roles of mercenaries, operatives, or survivors living in the year 20XX within a megacity where ancient gods, myths, and legendary powers have reemerged–only to be instantly weaponized, commodified, and exploited by megacorporations and criminal syndicates.

You run dangerous jobs for your employer – the kind which take an expert: hijacking, extraction, procurement, security sweeps. These jobs get complicated, so you work with a crew: reluctant associates, hired guns, comrades in the same unit, or even found family.

The Mission Dossier

Two days ago a terrorist cyber team identified, isolated, and took control of an anomaly in cyberspace. The terrorist cyber team belongs to the Ōgama Marauders, a radical organization employing frog-like Yōkai Demons, who have attacked multiple civilian targets within Megacity Tokyo; all in a bid to destabilize the municipal government.

This anomalous Cyber Domain, identified as BNZ4I-10, displays cutting-edge technological and supernatural capacities of data control. With this Domain under their command, the Ōgama Marauders have the ability to manipulate the flow of data throughout cyberspace – effectively handing them the ability to bring Megacity Tokyo to its knees.

Your team’s objective: infiltrate the mysterious BNZ4I-10 Domain, eliminate the Ōgama presence, and turnover control to Section 7, Megacity Tokyo’s Metro PD Cyber Crimes Unit.

:Logistics of the Learn-to-Play

:OTHERSCAPE uses the Mist Engine, a streamlined, narrative-first rules system, which uses short, descriptive tags covering skills, items, quirks, backstories, or spells (e.g., ‘strong as an ox’ or ‘arcane knowledge’) rather than traditional statistics or numerical attributes.

As this is a “Learn-to-Play” event, I will provide:

• An easy ‘learn-as-we-play’ approach to gameplay
• A broad selection of interesting, dynamic pre-generated characters; ready to use right at the start
• Dice for the every player during the session
• A highly engaging mythical cyberpunk adventure, which will not only teach all players how to play :OTHERSCAPE, but also entertain players of all stripes, whether new or well-experienced to the TTRPG hobby.
