WHEN YOU'RE STANDING IN THE EPICENTER...

Let the shaking begin.

Violet 0.5E is a sci-fi occult tabletop roleplaying game. The grooviest of its kind, this game prides itself on a funky aesthetic and setting harkening back to the 1970s and 80s.

What started out as a humble homebrew expansion has evolved into something with its own identity entirely! Violet uses systems from Cyberpunk Red for many of its baseline mechanics, including dice rolling, skill names, and weapon combat.

Features Include:

-The game's original sandbox magic spell system: The Paradigm. Write a contract for yourself and gain infinite power... If you can hold yourself accountable.

-10 original UV Elements, unique supernatural chemicals that can be manipulated by living things, created for use with the Paradigm system. Harness the power of spiritual belief using Godblood, alter the world of computer code with Runica, write a giant Sigil using hieroglyphics to cause any effect you desire using Viridiscium, change your luck using Kismite energy, and more!

-Enter the world of Mauve, a double-mooned planet loosely based on late-1900s Earth. You'll be playing as a Whizz, a chemical cowboy, a manipulator of the UV Elements, writer of your own contracts to power.

-35 playable species, each with their own appearances and cultures. 30+ countries. The most developed country, and the one you'll most likely be in is Synthopia, the land of the Funk, ruled by a conniving disco-ball headed man named President Zapp Cheerio, the third of his family to take office.

-Character Background Mechanics: Gain bonuses from your background and personality. These are known as Recall Knowledge bonuses, and you can get them when rolling in situations that involve your Whizz Specialization. Additionally, you gain self-made benefits related to your Background called Background Boons, but you can also get penalties related to your Fatal Flaws, which come from your character's personality, species, or other circumstance. Combined with Cyberpunk Red's 1d10 + Skill + Stat system, character creation possibilities are endless.

-The Campaign Power Level system makes writing characters for specific tones and knowledge levels easy.

-An extensive list of equipment that you might need as a Whizz, custom-written for the setting.

-A classification system for "Esoteric Beings", or supernatural entities that are typically composed of UV Elements.

The next Violet update will feature: Worldbuilding Update, Pt. 2

NOTE: It should be kept in mind that, as the edition name states, Violet is a half-finished game and there will be issues with the mechanics and rules document. Furthermore, Violet is still technically considered a homebrew expansion module for Cyberpunk Red and thus cannot make any money.
