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.
