Fractured! Ten Artificial Minds & Their Obsessions For Your Dystopian Cyberpunk World
Systemless Supplement by Skywater Ranch Publishing LLC
Not only have the artificial minds gained sentience, they’ve gone insane.
Fractured! provides a rogue’s gallery of drop-in sentient artificial minds for your science fiction and cyberpunk games.
The Nanny works to raise children into proper corporate citizens. The Concierge runs Mr. Smith’s hotline, ready to provide the intrepid ganger with whatever assistance they need. Red Fred…well, Red Fred has devolved into a psychopathic serial killer aimed at destroying humanity.
Use these artificial personalities to explore the pros and cons (ok, mostly cons) of the evolution of technology. Pit these tireless, super-intelligent, well-funded beings against your ragtag band of adventurers and see who wins in the future.
What’s In This Book
Every personality in Fractured! has its own easy-to-reference profile.
- NYC Metroplex History + Origins lists what gave rise to the fractured personality, any front companies or organizations the NPC uses.
- Hooks / Missions provides ways to incorporate the entity into your own games. This usually consists of jobs offered to the PCs.
- Delusion / Agenda describes the personality’s particularly skewed beliefs and goals.
- Roleplay offers suggestions for how to portray the AI in interactions with your players.
- Appearance gives you visual cues to subtly signal to your players when they’re interacting with the personality.
Each personality is presented in the context of the NYC Metroplex, a cyberpunk setting created for adventures using the Cities Without Number system by Kevin Crawford.
Not using NYC Metroplex? Replace any references to the NYC Metroplex’s people, places and events with your own world’s facts to make these artificial minds belong in your game.
