Corebook for the Otherscape Mythic Cyberpunk Role-Playing Game
In the not so distant future, technological advancements and the constant bombardment of neural stimuli known as the Noise have made human minds so overloaded and numb, that previously hidden occult forces can now operate in the open.
Demons, spirits, monsters, and gods — the same mythic powers that have guided and haunted humanity since time immemorial — no longer need to hide their part in the geopolitical powerplay. Striking deals with mortals, they bestow upon them boons of magical, reality-bending abilities.
Corporations and individuals who become aware of these spiritual beings vie for their power, eager to harness it to their endless war for control. At the same time, technology seeks to enhance humans beyond their point of origin, creating cybernetic beings that could contend with the gods.
In the Megacities of the world, arcane power and cutting-edge tech is hoarded and controlled by crime syndicates, government agencies, and megacorps, led by godlike Avatars. In a thriving shadow market, cybernetically-enhanced assassins, demonic hired guns, and privateer temple raiders race to secure legendary assets and fight to live another day.
