2096

The old world burned under solar fire and nuclear ash. What rose from the ruins was not a civilization but a corporate frontier of steel, sand, and scarcity. The deserts are endless. The technology is sleek. The people are expendable.

The future does not care if you live or die. Victory is rare. Survival is earned. Every job is a risk. Every choice has a cost. Every step forward can be your last. But for those who are sharp enough, fast enough, and ruthless enough, there is still a chance to carve meaning out of the dust.

This is the world rebuilt from the ashes, and it will not remember your name unless you make it.

A complete tabletop role‑playing system built for clarity and pressure. The Core Rulebook lays out the full engine that drives the world: skills, combat, survival, hacking, gear, factions, and the physics of a collapsing society. 2096 doesn’t apologize. It’s a lethal, number‑tight d12 system. Bring a calculator or die guessing.
