The Gallery of Punks
Concept: "The Gallery of Punks is a play aid for Cy_Borg by Stockholm Kartell. It is intended to assist the game master in creating NPCs on the fly, equipping them with tools to help make emergent storytelling possible. It has been primarily designed as a reference document intended to be used alongside the rulebook."
Content: A set of tables to generate punks of various classes (stats, quirks, looks, equipment, etc.) to help a GM populate their version of CY more quickly and easily, along with a small number of NPCs with more fully developed backstories and personalities. Also included are some commonly visited NPC types--ripperdoc, bartender, etc.--and their wares.
Writing: Direct, focused information intended to assist a GM in accomplishing their goals and keeping their game moving.
Art/design: White-on-black landscape-oriented pages that emphasize their central table(s). Vendor pages include some graphic embellishments to reflect their purpose (ammo, pharmaceuticals, etc.), and each of the more fully developed NPCs has their own full-color illustration.
Usability: Text is high contrast and consistently formatted across pages, even with specific pages' organizational differences, and locating a particular element and recognizing its aim is easy to accomplish.
