 What is this reference guide
and who is it for?
The :Otherscape role-playing game uses an open
game system that supports any action players can
imagine and makes it easy and simple for players and
the MC to translate these actions into game elements
like tags and statuses.

e
The core rules of the game are presented in Chapter
2: //Play of the Metro:Otherscape corebook and
explain how to make rolls, use Effects, deliver Conse-
quences, and mitigate them to resolve the outcome of

fil
any conceivable action player characters can take in
the world of mythic cyberpunk.
The Action Database is a supplement to the core
rules: an encyclopedic collection of suggestions for
typical :Otherscape actions and how to use the game
to resolve them. It can be used by players and MCs
