The Gaia Complex Returns to Kickstarter

Feb 5, 2021

The vampiric, cyberpunk roleplaying game The Gaia Complex returns with a relaunched Kickstarter. The game, created by Chris ‘Shep’ Shepperson, features a maturely themed, future state where humans and vampires battle an authoritative A.I. If you’d like to get an idea of the game there is a free 48 page quick start to peruse. You can reserve a copy of The Gaia Complex in PDF for a $26.00 pledge or score the hardcover and PDF for a $48.00 pledge through March 2nd. Expected delivery is this September.

About the project:

The Gaia Complex is a cyberpunk RPG set on earth in 2119.

Towards the end of the 21st century, the third world war, which became known as the Resource War, pushed mankind to the brink of destruction and brought ruin to the Earth’s atmosphere. Small pockets of humanity survived this horrific conflict, eventually forming the eleven metropolises. Initially, these incredible urban constructs were able to grow and prosper through advancements in atmospheric processing and technological innovation, but now cut off from each other, the eleven metropolises must each face their own difficulties and hardships. The Gaia Complex focuses on the largest of these locations; New Europe, a single sprawling city that covers much of what we currently know as mainland Europe. New Europe is a world of street violence, corporate espionage, vampiric uprisings and an overzealous A.I., known as Gaia, which functions as the city’s governor and the protector of its citizens.

This is a game of conspiracy and brutality, where players take on the roles of Mercs; former police officers, hackers and street-savvy dealers who are hired to fight back against the system and ultimately unravel the secrets of The Gaia Complex.

Of course we’d love you to back this campaign and be a part of making The Gaia Complex a reality, but before you do, maybe you want to give it a whirl for yourself? Good news – you can do this right now.

While this campaign and the updates throughout will talk about the game setting and rules, our free (well, ‘pay what you want’, but please, enter £0 and just grab a copy!) 48-page Quick Start for The Gaia Complex is out right now and will allow you to read and play for yourselves. This PDF contains a huge amount of lore surrounding the game, offering an in-depth insight to the world of The Gaia Complex and what it means to be a Merc in 2119. In addition, the booklet is jammed full of gorgeous artwork and gives you a good idea of what to expect from the full core book.
