In the expansion volume of Beyond the Wall, our heroines are not only drawn behind the walls of the village, but into the far distance. The goal is to explore the world and defeat threats to the village in the region in order to protect their home from harm.
objects of the world. We can now use one of the created characters from Arium: Create or create our own character to play in this self-created world.
At its core, Neon City Overdrive wants to be a science fiction / cyberpunk game that sets a dark and dystopian tone. The author cites Akira, Altered Carbon, Blade Runner, Cyberpunk 2020, Dredd, Ghost in the Shell, Neuromancer & the Sprawl Trilogy, The Matrix and many more as influences.
ARC is a rules-light but atmospheric role-playing game. The core of ARC is a doom that can take place on a personal level or plunge the entire world into the abyss.

Therefore, safety tools are recommended via the Lacunae found in Arium.
