This is a preview version of Hard Wired Island, created for the Kickstarter campaign. The full version has been expanded with more rules and art, but this should give you a rough idea of system and layout.

About

Hard Wired Island is a cyberpunk tabletop RPG with a retrofuture aesthetic, inspired by 90s media like Ghost in the Shell, Policenauts, Bubblegum Crisis, and Cowboy Bebop.

It's set on Grand Cross, a space station in crisis. Corporations are corrupting it into an authoritarian monument to greed. Long-time residents are being pushed out of their neighbourhoods as the wealthy expand their territory. In the shadows cast by the corporations lurk criminal gangs, hate groups, and rogue robots.

Whether you're engaging in street activism, getting dragged into corporate schemes, or fighting the corporations and their minions directly, your goal is to steer the station towards a better future before it's too late.

What system does it use?

It uses its own system! You can see the basics in the Kickstarter Preview PDF document.

I am real upset I only found out about this after the KS was over. This is the most punk cyberpunk tabletop I've ever seen.
