Red Borg

You are a Nobody. The nation is governed by industrialists, landlords, bureaucrats and politicians. Those who attempt to stand up to these “leaders” are either arrested or killed. The people go hungry and workers must crawl towards gargantuan factories, both physical and metaphorical meat grinders. The youthful poor are sent as cannon fodder to the front, without ever knowing why. The capitalist fat cats keep getting 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 organizations 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 reprisal, you are contributing to the revolution.
