Octas/cyber

Octas is a Table-Top Role-Playing Game system based on the use of two 8-sided dice, numbered 0-7. It uses the octal (base-8) numeric system, but is also simple to play in decimal (base-10) via some quick conversion maths on the dice rolls. Both play-modes are supported. But true cybers use octal!

Octas/cyber is a CyberPunk themed version of the game. The combat is intended to be somewhat realistic, so any bullet or serious knife wound is likely to - at best - land you in hospital for a few weeks. The game is balanced to be combat-adverse, with more focus on stealth, negotiation, and action-by-proxy.
