Campaign: Charm City Stories

Overview.

In the year 2112, the world is a cyberpunk dystopia marked by stark societal divisions and technological excess. Megacorporations have risen to unparalleled power, controlling every aspect of daily life. The gap between the elite and the impoverished has widened, with towering corporate skyscrapers casting shadows over sprawling slums.

Advanced technology permeates every facet of society, but it is a double-edged sword. Augmented reality is ubiquitous, blurring the lines between virtual and physical reality. Cybernetic enhancements are common but often lead to societal stratification, with the wealthy affording cutting-edge enhancements while the poor resort to makeshift, black-market modifications.

Governmental authority has eroded, leaving a power vacuum filled by corporate interests. Mega-cities dominate the landscape, characterized by neon-lit streets, towering advertisements, and an ever-present sense of surveillance. Combat zones, born out of social unrest and neglect, are scattered throughout these metropolises, breeding lawlessness and desperation.

The natural ecosystem hangs on by a thread, struggling to survive amidst the urban sprawl. The air is tinged with pollutants, and the remaining green spaces are rare, guarded by those who can afford the luxury of nature in this concrete jungle. In this cyberpunk world of 2112, the struggle for survival is a constant reality, and individuals navigate a treacherous landscape where the line between human and machine, order and chaos, is blurred.
