A tabletop roleplaying game with support for one-shots or campaign play.

The core resolution system for Neon City Outlaws is known as the 100AC System. This system was used in both Dusk City Outlaws and Spectaculars and a new iteration of the system, with expanded rules and more focus on character advancement, keeps Neon City Outlaws fast, exciting, and compelling.

The 100AC System combines percentile dice with d8 Advantage Dice and d10 Challenge Dice to give task resolution a broad spectrum of successes, failures, and additional benefits and consequences each time you roll the dice. When anyone attempts an action and the outcome is not guaranteed, you roll the dice. Each roll includes percentile dice (d100), and the number rolled on those dice is compared to a percentage chance of success; rolling equal to or lower than the chance of success number means that they succeeded in the action that was being attempted. Rolling higher than the percentage chance of success means the attempt failed.

Additional positive and negative circumstances surrounding the roll also add advantage dice (for positive circumstances) and challenge dice (for negative ones) to the roll. Up to four of each of these dice can be added to the roll, giving a broad spectrum of possible dice pools while still keeping the roll relatively uncomplicated. The result is a system that is fun, dynamic, and makes it easy on the person running the game to make things interesting with every die roll. 

Each player takes on the role of a member of a crew of outlaws hired to pull off some criminal scheme. Players can choose from a variety of archetypes suited to different kinds of heists; grifters play con games, thieves are experts on breaking and entering, hackers excel at bending computers to their will, and so forth. Further, Neon City Outlaws embraces the transhuman evolution of technology, and players can augment their bodies with gene-splicing, cybernetics, and psionics, or eschew humanity entirely by playing a sentient artificial intelligence in a synthetic body. Detailed character advancement allows you to progress your intrinsic skills and perks every session.

One core setting element shared across all Neon City Outlaws settings is the concept of loading, or transferring the digitized mind of your character from one body to another. Advanced nanotechnology allows the mind to be stored in an electronic format, preserving backups of personalities in case of catastrophe.  The upshot of this technology is that bodies can be treated more like tools, changed out as needed over the course of the job.

The rules for making your own setting and dozens of entries that guide you through the process of fleshing out your city are found in the game's setting book, a paired companion book that ties directly into the game's rules and scenarios. There are over 100 unique setting elements, each with its own entry in the setting book, that you can use to detail the corporations, districts, locations, characters, and other key parts of your cyberpunk setting.

Another element used by all Neon City Outlaws settings is the presence of the Network, a global telecommunications network with an immersive, virtual reality interface that connects directly to the nanomachines embedded in the user's brain. While, in some settings, scenes taking place in a VR network or while hacking corporate security feel like they require highly-specialized character choices to be viable, in Neon City Outlaws anyone can engage in virtual reality skullduggery thanks to avatar overlays.

Neon City Outlaws treats the virtual reality network just like any other districts in the physical world of the city. They might behave somewhat differently, but the ubiquity of the Network's use means that all characters have some basic proficiency in the virtual world, and can create or participate in scenes in network nodes just like they would in the physical districts of the city. When you enter the network, you manifest as an avatar of your choosing, and use the same overlay tech used for changing bodies to represent your presence in the virtual world.

While the first sparks of rebellion might fall from the actions of a single crew of outlaws, true change takes time, resources, and willpower. To represent the large impact that the crew has on the city and the fight against corporate oligarchy, Neon City Outlaws has a phase of play called simply the Revolution. During the Revolution, each player makes decisions on behalf of one of the city's outlaw factions, making city-changing moves that have repercussions far beyond a single job or crew. 

Is your character a member of the city's vice broker cartel? Throw a huge soiree to attract the wealthy and then have undercover criminals harvest secrets from executive attendees. Perhaps you're a member of the city's underground media? Have your agents hijack a telecom station and sent out a pirate news broadcast exposing the dirty secrets of a corporation. Maybe instead you've aligned yourself with the band, a group of iconoclastic artists rebelling against the status quo? Stage a hit-and-run flash mob concert outside of a corporate headquarters to disrupt a press conference and get your revolutionary message out.
