Red Borg

You are a Nobody.

The nation is governed by a powerful elite of industrialists, landlords, bureaucrats and politicians. Those who attempt to stand up to these “leaders” are either arrested or killed. The people are hungry while workers crawl like worms towards their gargantuan factories, physical and metaphorical meat grinders. The youth is sent as cannon fodder to the front, without even knowing why.

And while we die, the capitalist fat cats get fatter.

There are no alternatives, it is time for revolution.

AND YOU ARE A REVOLUTIONARY…

Red Borg is a game about those that fan the flames of Revolution: idealists, dreamers, the desperate, the cornered, the rebels, those with nothing to lose, those with no other choice, and those who are all of these things at once.

Adventures can be set in the world you’ll find within the manual, or in a real-life revolution such as the birth of the Soviet Union, the Cuban revolution, the Spanish or the Chinese civil wars, or in a revolution that is yet to happen.

Not all revolutions are equal, some take place on battlefields, others in cities. Red Borg covers a wide variety of situations, from covert organisations to people’s protests, from field battles by revolutionary armies to the conquest of cities. Whether you’re helping a group of workers rise up against business owners or defending a city from a warlord attack, you are contributing to the revolution.
