Outer Circuit Community Newsletter
A downloadable scifi player handout
What happens when an entire neighbourhood taps "I Accept" on every possible opt-in focus group, product test and loyalty scheme? Welcome to Outer Circuit, one of the first Experimental Test Communities, where early access products and services subsidise and improve* life!
Be a good neighbour, report suspicious activitiy and keep your Communitix score high. SafeEye drones are watching over us.
Outer Circuit Community Newsletter is a single in-universe issue of the neighbourhood newsletter of a troubled space station community in the Mothership universe.
Inside you'll find sparks and plot seeds for players and Wardens, including:
- No mechanics, just a purely in-fiction 4-panel newsletter you can hand to your players and say "you find this"
- A sunny but unsettling look into the mundane lives of Outer Circuit, a "this is fine" community you can slot into A Pound of Flesh or a space station of your own creation
- Communitix, an all-too-real in-fiction concept for tracking neighbours' contributions to their community (with examples of rewards and consequences)
- Ads and logos for businesses you'll find around Outer Circuit
- Half a dozen location names of areas within Outer Circuit
- Over a dozen Outer Circuit NPC names, many including their Communitix scores
- Modrats!
Welcome to the neighbourhood! Sign here.
