Lichoma is an explicitly political RPG in a dystopian setting defined by ecological collapse, social strife, and body-based economics and technology. PCs carry out missions for and against the various factions and controlling Companies. They’re rewarded with new body parts that players can use to modify their characters.
Although based on their cards, characepts and abilities are otherwise freeform and interpretive, not bound hard and fast by classes or mechanics. In a world where flesh is endlessly mutable, characters can be and do whatever the cards and background inspire in the player.
This creative aspect is complemented by an intuitive, streamlined system. The core rules fit on a single card and include fast procedures for non-combat Challenges and violent Conflicts that can move seamlessly from one-on-one matchups to massive brawls. Additional, optional rules allow groups to add more depth and nuance to fit their table’s preferred play style.
