Fire Warrior here! I’m excited to announce a new series: Dark Cyber!

Dark Cyber is a project I’m working on mainly to prevent burnout from Dungeon Earth. So for a while, you’ll be getting Dark Cyber content, along with maybe a few extra one-shots here and there—but again, this is mostly to keep Dungeon Earth from burning people out.

Here’s the basic info: Dark Cyber is a hybrid between cyberpunk and the World of Darkness. You’ll have vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural beings—but you’ll also have cybernetically enhanced fixers who take on morally questionable jobs like assassination, sabotage, and more.

You can still do classic cyberpunk stuff—planning heists, running jobs, etc.—but now you also get supernatural shenanigans. The twist? Instead of the usual partially insane vampire or werewolf hunters, your hunters are cybernetically enhanced, giving them an edge against vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural threats.

So for World of Darkness fans, yes—you can run vampire hunting campaigns—but your characters will be cybernetically enhanced, armed with weapons they probably shouldn’t have access to… but do, because, well, fun!

For those familiar with the tabletop Cyberpunk game, you can do the same types of campaigns in Dark Cyber. And for fans of World of Darkness games, you can explore the same supernatural themes—but with a cyberpunk twist.

Finally, here are the results of the voting: Dark Cyber, or the cyberpunk World of Darkness, won!
