Subversion

Cyberpunk Fantasy in Neo Babylon

The Game

Embark on a journey into the heart of rebellion with Subversion, the cyberpunk/fantasy roleplaying game set in the sprawling metropolis of Neo Babylon.

Play as characters whose ideals, flaws, community, and moral compasses guide the story. Subversion supports adrenaline-fueled clashes, intricate character progression, ethical dilemmas, clashes of ideology, and the gradual evolution of plotlines—all fueling the fiery resistance against the powers that oppress.

» Use arcane arts, cybertechnology, communal evolution, combat skill, connections to ancient deities, and an extensive array of roles and expertise to overcome adversity.

» Rich character creation, with hundreds of options to sculpt characters with distinct abilities, backgrounds, values, flaws and stories.

» Subversion intertwines players’ values, instincts, and emotional resilience into the core of characters and their stories.

Subversion is a game designed to let players confront existential questions with resonance beyond any given moment—pondering desires, motivations, ethical boundaries, and the sacrifices they’re willing to endure for the greater good. These choices impact fellow players, sculpt unfolding epics, and invite players to challenge the status quo, upend injustice, seize control of their destinies, and to reshape their world as only the misbehaving can.

“I was instantly hooked. I love the setting. There’s a really cool innovation on the classic D6 system. It looks rad.”

The Buzz

“Everytime I climb to a higher rooftop to shout the praises of this setting it just affords a better view of everything it has to offer. From a unique world, a fantastic system, and just a wonderful take on character and community linked together, I’ll be climbing for a long time.”

“Subversion takes the Cyberpunk Dystopian Fantasy genre and actively chooses to focus more on the Cyberpunk and Fantasy element instead of constantly showcasing the Dystopia. The community building mechanics, built in safety tools, and ethical treatment of sensitive subjects make for an enjoyable experience for the mechanics minded as well as those who prefer a bit more roleplaying vs rollplaying. It’s a welcome change in a genre that almost always takes itself far too edgy and leaves many players feeling like their actions don't matter in the overall world despite the amount of good they try to do. This game expertly supplants those tropes by showing there can be hope in the world, through Subversion.”
