SG:U - The Flow Deluxe A3 Map Pack

I've been meaning to get this one released for a while now. Glad to announce it has finally gone live!

So, what do you get for your bityuan?

A set of large A3 300dpi colour map files of the city known as The Flow, the default setting from the SG:U Carbon Edition.

It includes 20 high-res jpeg images, showing 38 street gangs and their zones of influence, the subway network linking to Core Transit, locations of the beleaguered FPD precincts and the reach of the contaminated Containment Zone 9, and combinations thereof.

Also included in the pack is a high-res, print-ready PDF, so you can toggle data on and off, depending on what you need to focus on!

And its stat-free, so will work as a setting for any cyberpunk RPG. Requires the use of The Flow sourcebook, also from Geist Hack Games, but if you are rocking the Carbon Edition, you already have all the data you need to fully make use of the map pack.


And, as is my want, the map pack is available on both itch and drivethru.

Sprawl Goons:Upgraded - Talking Cybrids

Cybrid geisharoid model from Kanawa-Mendez.

The ever-excellent Sprawl Goons supporter and content creator, Gregorius21778 has posted an interview with my good self on his blog regarding Cybrids, the synthetic humanoids of the "Sprawlverse".

So, what is a Cybrid?

My inspirations were the synthetics of the Alien movies, the replicants of Blade Runner, the michikoids of The Peripheral, the hosts of West World and the androids of Hyperion, amongst others.

From the Sprawl Lexicon on page 3 of Sprawl Goons:Upgraded Carbon Edition:

Cybrid - A bioplastic synthetic, like an android or replicant.



Clavel execs observe the first printing of their latest R&D model.


And you can choose to be a cybrid player character, with the following background from page 10 of the Carbon Edition rulebook:  


Fugitive Cybrid

You’re a cybrid, a bioplastic synthetic, designed and fabricated by the Clavel corporation. You’ve endured the hardships of indentured labour in hazardous assembleries; combed toxic coastlines for reusables; repaired habitats in the cold vacuum of space. There’s an RFID shard implanted deep inside you, and your owners will undoubtedly be looking to recover their investment. What happens if they find you? What are you willing to do to remain free?


But outside of my carbon-fibre skull, that's all we knew. Until now!

In the linked interview, I answer 10 questions that define the technology, the social impact, who makes them and how to identity them (if you know how). Find out more here.

Hopefully, there will be more of these articles outlining the elements of the game-world in the future!


On the streets of the Flow, revolution is coming.
