Datanomicon: Ashcan Edition
A downloadable game
Datanomicon is a lean roleplaying game of elves orcs and humans in the distant future of 2025. Players take the role of violent and low class freaks in a world trying to stomp them out.
What's Inside
- A simple and fast d6 dice pool system
- Incredibly lethal combat
- A selection of equipment covering drugs, body mods, vehicles, weapons and more
- A selection of spells for your weirdos to use
What's to come?
- A Datajockey's Guidebook with tables and guidelines for creating your own campaign setting, a bestiary, and supplementary rules for running games.
- San Francisco 2025, a setting book and starting adventure, filled with materials for a internet culture soaked retrofuture that is falling apart at the seams.

Hi! I really like your game. And I made a translation to Russian for my comrades and players. I hope you don't mind ;)
Here it is: https://roguelatro.itch.io/datanomicon-rus-arcadegard
Also I wrote a little setting for your game. It's inspired by 80s arcade games, cassette- and spectrum-punk, and such a media as Ready Player One, Onward, Bright and Muse's music.
Thank you for such a great TTRPG and for inspiration! <3
I am so glad you loved the game and wanted to translate it. However I have one request of you. If you are going to put something out there based on my work please do not use generated images as part of the advertising as you do on the itch page. It goes against my firmly held do it yourself attitude.
If you want I do have this edit of an old piece of pixel art I am more than willing to offer up as a replacement, you don't have to use it but I would rather you have something easy rather than just demanding you change something without offering any alternative. https://imgur.com/a/vC6I7d2
Oh, sorry, i took that image from Unsplash and didn't noticed that fact it's AI generated. I share your believes about DIY attitude, and in my work and art I always try to do all the things by mys own hands. Thank you so much for providing me with your beatiful pixel art! I'll change the cover as soon as possible. And I'll try to be more careful with that insidious AI :)
DATANOMICON shot my dog and married my dad. Thank you 500poundsofnothing.

Humans get +2 to Luck, should it be +2 to Edge?
Yes it should be. There will be a lot of small fixes soon in a v0.2
Killer stuff! Clear and concise.
Delicious word cuisine

I call it New Age because it rhymes with sewage! Wow, let me say it again, wow!

Why be 500 pounds of nothing when you can be 250 pounds of faith and prayers?
