The Gaia Complex - Evolution by Design
Funded on Kickstarter! Coming to print Q3, 2024
Few can dispute that Gaia; Hansor Innovations' shining star of artificial intelligence, is primarily responsible for humanity thriving in New Europe; but life in 2120 is about so much more than just the human species. Ferals interface with the wild beasts of the metropolis, running free through the rain-soaked streets. Vampires lurk in the shadows of the Outer Fringe, waging a deadly blood war against rival syndicates. All this while Gaia conducts secret experiments and the New Europe police force deploy a wave of advanced law enforcement units to the metropolis' streets.
Evolution by Design provides an in-depth look at the game's three significant 'non-human' elements: ferals, vampires and artificial intelligence.
Evolution by Design features:
A guide to The Smoking Dog; the most famous of all feral-run bars, Information about various feral hangouts and regular meeting places, activist groups, updates on the Circadian Network and insight to other secret feral organisations.
An update on the vampire-run Blood Syndicates and the Blood War brewing between them, the forming of vampire-controlled human armies known as Chattels, new developments and evolutions in the vampire threat, as well as a new axiom.
A disturbing insight to Gaia's current focus of research, a look at rival AIs, an insight to advancements and new deployments in the New Europe police force, and the introduction of commercial A.I. subscriptions.
This book also provides a large number of new rules and GM tools to facilitate information broking and blood trade transactions, using bitter enemies, tracking a team’s most wanted status with the police, new vampiric abilities, police hardware, a range of additional NPCs and a number of Data Seeds themed to the content of this book. Evolution by Design offers new and profound insights to both players and GMs of The Gaia Complex.
