The folks who ruined Mars have
names and addresses.
You have a crowbar, and a dream.
Make them pay.

From KeganExe. Join the Resistance in Blister City. Kill the rich CEOs that put your mom in medical debt, burn down the mansions of a war profiteer, and get fucked on a dance floor by a phreak with a malfunctioning sense tuner. They want you to think you're powerless, you're easier to control if you've already given up. The people who are ruining your city have names and addresses. You have a crowbar and a dream. Make them pay.

A Visitor’s Guide to Blister City is a 32-page, system agnostic, blisterpunk setting guide, designed to run your favorite games through.

What is Blisterpunk - It’s cyberpunk without the purposeful watering down of punk themes: direct action, DIY ethics, and anti-authoritarianism. If cyberpunk is about fashion and nihilism, blisterpunk is about function and direct action. You might not win, you probably won’t, but you can take the bastards down with you.

Where is Blister City - Blister City, formerly Ambition City, is the last city on Mars. After years of successful terraforming, The Splinter, a machine designed to provide breathable atmosphere to the planet, malfunctioned, killing millions by poisoning the very skies. Ambition, the first habitable city on the planet still had a working private atmospheric barrier, and managed to save itself while the planet around it burned. Now, 60 years later, Blister City finds itself overgrown, bursting at the seams, divided by class in a very literal sense.

Technology - Blister City is a sci-fi setting that is post space travel, but still pre-warp or lightspeed travel. Artificial super intelligences are just beginning to wake up, but laser guns haven’t yet been invented (although Ares Net is probably working on exactly that).

Recommended Games - CBR+PNK, CY_BORG, Cybermetal 2012, Hack the Planet: Cyberpunk Forged in the Dark, Eclipse Phase, and Through the Void.
