Cyberpunk is a 1980s genre about the fear of the future. That future is now.

The Future We Saw a game of politics conducted through other means, while the early 2020s Capitalism is in its death throes.

Blackmail. Murder. Hacking. Infiltration. Corruption. The kind of fiction that you wish fake news sites authors would write about, if they could write. The Future We Saw is about current politics, seen through the lenses of cyberpunk concerns and fear. Play as agents for one of many organizations, working behind the scenes. 

Centered about faction play, the characters are fixers, assassins and hackers working for a political group or a corporation, helped in their missions by Seers, normal people that due to AI-related trauma have internalized the AI immense prediction capabilities, and can use them for their own sake.

The game features:

  • Four classes of fixers: the Veteran, the PsyOp, the Specialist, the Seer. 5E compatible.
  • Future Sights: how to use the Seers' predictive power in play, and in which ways they impact and shape the campaign.
  • Mental Health: Stress, Burnout, Breakdown.
  • New combat: firearms, tactical armour, grisly wounds.
  • Factions: how the five type of factions vie for power and interact with each other. 
  • Mission rules, procedures to structure play through missions, and provisioning of equipment (there is no shopping list)
  • Schemes, high level machinations of Factions, how to grow and evolve them.
  • Dublin2020, a Dublin-centric campaign, written by Erin Nieudan.

You can read about these subject matters on so called fake news sites. If you are not then you're not visiting the right ones. There is endless inspiration out there from real legitimate journalists and news sites to write stories for this game genre. Art imitating life or life imitating art?

Does this title come with rules printed in it or do I need the D&D open game license rules to play this, and if so where would I get a copy of that? I don't know a lot about 5th edition or D&D rules.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
