Carbyne Jungle - Carbyne Jungle

Black and White Edition This black and white copy of the Carbyne Jungle Core Rulebook is complete with everything you need to jump into the Carbyne Jungle tabletop role-playing game!
NCM took every RPG we loved, tore them down to the bones, and looked at what was a essential for a great gaming experience. We didn't want to carry an aspect over just because it was traditional, but we also didn't want to throw out a common game facet just to be different. So we started with a skeleton of what makes a great gaming experience, added some muscle, fashion sense, hardware, topped it off with a semi-unhinged personality and threw the switch.

Set in a rich Sci-Fi Fantasy setting, Carbyne Jungle has an amazingly open advancement system, three rule-sets to allow new players to join in game with old dogs, and provides the best tabletop gaming experience possible. Set thousands of years into a distant future, Carbyne Jungle combines elements of Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Noir, and Horror, into a rich gaming experience. Built on the Tri-Forge Engine, Carbyne Jungle has three styles of gameplay, customizable for beginners through advanced players, so whoever is at the table can jump into the game. The setting is both in-depth and flexible allowing A GM to dive right into the universe, forge their own world, or anywhere in between. With phenomenal battles, meaningful non-combat conflicts, and an incredibly flexible advancement system, Carbyne Jungle is the game you've been waiting for. Introducing new players to a game can be a tough learning curve, especially with complex games. One of the first decisions we had to make was whether we wanted a simple or complex engine, and as most of the gamers we spoke with enjoyed complex systems, we went in that direction. So, we needed a way to eliminate the learning curve. Thus: The Tri-Forge Engine.

We built 3 styles of gameplay into our game engine: Stock, Strategic, and the intro ruleset Flip&Fight... that can all be played simultaneously IN THE SAME GAME. A player joining their first game ever can use a sample character or use the quick character creation options to make a character in under 10 minutes, and then jump into the game.Standard players can keep using their full characters with all the standard rules, and the newcomer uses the basic rules to play right alongside everyone else. As players grow more comfortable, characters easily transition to the standard or advanced rules.

We replaced levels with a fluid system. As your character grows, you don't have to shoe-horn them into a specific mold. After each session, your character will earn one or more advancement points that can be spent to upgrade your character...however you want. You can take backgrounds specific to your archetype (think class) or not. It's your choice. Unstoppable Juggernaut? Go for it. Glass Cannon? Sure. Skill based character? Feel free. You decide what you want your character to be.
