    How To Play CY_BORG
    Feb 12 2025
    How to play CY_BORG. Hi everyone, this is a special how to play episode of Firebreathing Kittens. I’m the game master for an upcoming session using the rules for CY_BORG. This episode is a summary of what I learned after reading the rule book. Hopefully this will be a handy guide for how to play for my players, will help me organize myself, and will be useful for you listeners, too, who are looking to play your own CY_BORG game. I’ll organize this how to play guide into sections. Game category Combat rules Zero hit points Abilities Apps Nano powers Glitches Building an example character Game category. CY_BORG is a game where you the players are pitted against the corp, the cops, and the capitalist system. There are mechanics for your character to implant cybertech, for you to hack tech using apps, to experience glitches online via your retinal com device that transfer to reality, to use drugs, for your character to become colonized by alien bacteria riding nanobots, or to become infected with the less helpful infestations of alien crabs, gills and tubes. The class you play as will impact your abilities, and include a shunned nanomancer, a burned hacker, an orphaned gearhead, and more. CY_BORG characters have five stat abilities: knowledge, agility, presence, strength, and toughness. Ability modifiers are added to your roll on a twenty sided dice, also called a d20, to determine if you meet to beat the difficulty rating to succeed. The difficulty ratings, or DR, range from 6 for a simple test, to 12 for normal difficulty, to 16 for really hard to accomplish tasks, to 18 for hurdles that are almost impossible to overcome. Roll the dice, add your ability modifier, and see if you meet to beat the difficulty rating to hack your way through the world of CY_BORG. Let’s talk about combat rules in CY_BORG. If you’ve played Pirate Borg or Mork Borg, how to attack and defend will sound familiar. The core combat rules for the Borg games (Pirate Borg, CY_BORG, and Mork Borg) are pretty much the same. Here are the shared combat rules. I’m going to just like, read the summary of these, and then if that doesn’t make sense don’t worry, because I’ll do an actual example. All the dice rolls in the Borg games are made by the players. That includes initiative, when players attack an enemy, and when players are defending against being attacked. The game master doesn’t ever have to roll dice. The word initiative means turn order during combat. Players roll a six sided dice, also called a d6, for initiative. A one, two, or three means the enemies attack first. A four, five, or six means the players attack first. If there are multiple players, they all roll a d6 and add their agility modifiers. Higher rolls can act first. Attacking an enemy goes like this. First, roll a d20. Next, add either your strength ability modifier for melee attacks or presence ability modifier for ranged attacks. If you get a 12 or higher, you hit. Roll your weapon's damage dice (a d4, d6, etc). Lastly, if the enemy has armor, roll for the armor (a d2, a d4, or a d6) and subtract the armor roll from the damage. CY_BORG adds the aiming and autofiring mechanics. If you spend a round to aim, you can either reduce the difficulty rating by two so that you hit on tens, or you can deal an extra two damage. Hits always deal at least one damage. If your weapon has autofire, written as the letter a after its damage dice in the rule book, that means hitting the first time lets you make a second attack, against either the same target or another one nearby, up to a maximum of three attacks. Defending when an enemy is trying to hit you goes like this. First, roll a d20. Next, add your agility modifier. If the result is 12 or higher, they missed you. If the result is 11 or lower, they hit you. Roll for their damage (a d4, a d6, etc). If you have armor, roll for your armor (a d2, a d4, or a d6) and subtract the armor roll from the incoming damage. Anyone can take cover, which increases the difficulty rating by two for light cover, and four for heavy cover. Rolling a twenty or a one on the d20 when attacking or defending are special. A twenty on the to-hit dice is a critical hit. When defending, you the player can make a free attack. When attacking, you deal double damage and reduce the enemy’s armor by a tier. Rolling a d20 to get a critical is great. The opposite of a critical is a fumble, a one on the to-hit dice. If you fumble when defending, the player takes double damage and their armor is reduced by a tier. If you fumble when attacking, then roll a d6. On a one, two, or three, you’re out of ammo. You also drop you weapon or otherwise make it unusable until you spend an action fixing things. On a four or a five, your weapon breaks. It has to be repaired outside of combat. On a six, your weapon explodes and hurts you for d6 damage and is beyond repair. Fumbles are rough. After every combat, roll a d8 for each ...
