About Fudge
Fudge is a roleplaying game written by
Steffan O’Sullivan, with extensive input from
the Usenet community of rec.games.design
and other online forums. The core rules of
Fudge are available free on the Internet at
http://www.fudgerpg.com and other sites.
Fudge was designed to be customized, and
may be used with any gaming genre. Fudge
gamemasters and game designers are en-
couraged to modify Fudge to suit their needs,
and to share their modifications and addi-
tions with the Fudge community. The Fudge
game system is copyrighted ©2000, 2005 by
Grey Ghost Press, Inc., and is available for
use under the Open Game License. See the
fudgerpg.com website for more information.

the role of governments in many instances.
However, despite the control these corpora-
tions have over the lives of the average citi-
zen, many people still resist their reign and
attempt to fight them – either openly or co-
vertly.
Meanwhile, powerful humans with
psychic abilities, commonly referred to as
“mentals,” “psychics,” “psi-freaks,” and “psi-
punks” have become a formidable minority
that leaves mundane citizens feeling power-
less – a fact which the controlling corpora-
tions seek to exploit to their own ends.
In this harsh world of political intrigue,
corporate espionage, and tough street life,
you will take on any number of roles as a
character who’s just trying to make it in the
world. Perhaps you’re a psychic and a reb-
el, seeking to diminish the reign of a giant
megacorporation or perhaps you’re a corpo-
rate drone whose only goal in life is to make
it through the day so he can work again to-
morrow (admittedly, the latter doesn’t sound
as exciting.)
Whatever the case may be, you’re about
to enter a realm rife with possibilities and ex-
citement, drama, action, intrigue and adven-
ture. You’re entering the world of
Psi-punk,
so buckle up – it’s going to be a crazy ride.
Inside This Book
Inside of this book you will find a ready-
to-use role-playing game complete with a set-
ting, rules for character creation and playing
the game, and Game Master-specific pieces
of advice for running a game of
Psi-punk.
Though this game uses Fudge™ mechanics,
this stand-alone product is presented with
everything you will need (short of dice and
players) to get started with your adventures
– no additional reference materials are re-
quired.
In
Chapter 1: The World of Psi-punk,
you will be given a brief overview of the set-
ting, its history, and the events leading up to
present day in the year 2096.
Psi-punk
is a role-playing game set on
Earth in the year 2096. Unlike many futur-
istic fantasy settings,
Psi-punk
isn’t a space
opera or even a traditional cyberpunk game
– though we did take inspiration from both
genres. Instead,
Psi-punk
strives to be some-
thing unique but still identifiable with other
settings you may have experienced in the
past, whether in books, movies, video games,
or other role-playing games.
Here, you will enter a world where huge
corporations control large aspects of the pub-
lic’s everyday lives and have even usurped
