I am incredibly proud and excited to announce that Dystopia 23 is now available for purchase from our website

The Equipment book contains over 290 pages of gear from weapons and armour through to drones, covert equipment, vehicles, Nexus gear and a jaw-dropping array of human enhancement technologies.

The History of the Future will provide you with an enormous amount of detail about the world of the 23rd century.

Hi Spinachcat,

At this stage we will not be running a kickstarter. Our products are available for sale from our website right here: https://dystopia23.com/products/

It is possible that in the future we may run a kickstarter, or similar, for hard copy versions of the game. I hope you enjoy the Primer and that you consider Dystopia 23 for all your futuristic role-playing needs.

Covert operatives are masters of deception and disguise. They tread their path where few dear to pass. Dystopia 23 has 3 covert archetypes: the corporate infiltrator is a specialist in subterfuge and espionage. They specialise in infiltrating corporations to steal data; The black ops operative is a military trained surgical instrument who can sneak into the enemy camp and assassinate key figures; and the ghost is a street-smart master of stealth and concealment who can bypass electronic locks, cracks safes and break into secure facilities. Watch this video to get a first person perspective from a practising ghost in the world of dystopia 23.

Mercenaries come in many forms. Some roam the battlefields of the 23rd century in armoured combat walkers or powered armour, leaving mayhem in their wake. Others stalk the streets of the megacities, dealing justice as they see fit. Dystopia 23 has 3 military archetypes: the corporate soldier, the mercenary school graduate and the military soldier. Each can choose from a vast array of skill packets enabling them to focus on fire support, battlefield vehicles, leadership, PsyOps, special forces and a variety of other specialities. The following video has a first person account from a grizzled military veteran of dystopia 23.

No team of razor walkers is complete without a talented hacker. When you slip out to areas of the city where you have no business being, and engage in activities that require your lawyer to be on speed dial, you need a hacker to wipe your echo. For those black-bag jobs where you need to break in to a facility and access their remote terminals, the lightning fast reactions of the hacker are essential. When you're neck deep in a Virtual Nexus Node with ElDefS chasing you down your Nexus combat skills will be the only thing preventing your brain from being fried. From basic research through to hacking the most sophisticated networks, the skills of your hacker will be the difference between success and failure and possibly between life and death.

Watch the following video to hear the first person story from a Dystopia 23 hacker:

Into the shadows. They want your blood, they want your death. The megacorporations you undermine, from whom you steal data and prototypes. You pass through dark hallways, freezing cameras and bypassing locks. You evade guards and drones. You sneak into offices and labs, hacking networks to extract the loot which you are hired to procure. The ever watching eye of government and corporation seeks you out. They try to pinpoint your location or capture your face on camera, but you evade them by a hair's breadth. This is the life of a ghost, a covert operative who uses guile, skill and courage to fill his bank account and build his reputation in the underground community. They are on the front line of espionage, the spearhead of a Razor Walker organisation. For this reason the body count is high. Covert specialists who slip up generally receive a quick dose of iron in their diet, at about 3000 km/h. The marshes and oceans surrounding major cities are filled with the bodies of operatives who overlooked details on the mission. To get a feel for the precarious life of the covert specialist watch the video below:

The sprawls of the 23rd century are dangerous and unforgiving; a place where desperate people clamber for survival. The free zones are void of law enforcement. Gangs, syndicates and vigilante groups rule the streets. Justice is hard to find and empathy seems like a forgotten sentiment. People live in ill-maintained hovels, abandoned apartment buildings and cubes; small metal boxes just big enough for one person to eat and sleep. Governments have neither the means nor the inclination to help their people, so it is each individual for themselves. To get a feel for what it is like to live in the sprawls of Dystopia 23 watch this account by one of its citizens:

Ever wonder how the past became the present? Dystopia 23 has a rich background covered in great detail in "History of the Future." This book reveals the secrets of the past. What happened between the 21st and the 23rd centuries would make your eyes water; the most volatile period in human history. History of the Future provides information on all of the organisations, megacorporations and governments that shaped the modern world. Countries fell under poverty and were subsumed by larger nations, new flags were planted on old soil and new colonies seeded throughout the Milky Way. Corporations ate one another. Only the strong survived as they sucked the marrow from the bones of weaker competition. After the global financial crisis the world was never the same again. Poverty is the norm, gangs and crime syndicates run the streets and the majority of the population are sealed off from the wealthy in enormous walled sprawls. Listen to a 23rd century historian describe the journey:
