BLAM!

Blam! is a post-apocalyptic game set in the neverending City of the Blame! manga. The entire solar system has been deconstructed to create the City, whose guardians have turned against the human population and now ruthlessly wipe them out. Access to the Netsphere, where the Governing Authority resides, has been lost over the centuries along with the necessary Net Terminal Genes. Silicon Creatures have infested all the levels of the City, spreading chaos and infection everywhere, along with their ideology of cyborg conversion.

The Blam! mechanics are very simple, utilizing compact Abilities (Skills combined with classic Attributes) on a scale of 1-100. Combat is very lightweight as well.

There are 4 attributes:

• Structure Physical damage capacity, size, mass, hit points
• Energy Each ability used needs energy to perform actions. More complex actions take more energy.
• Ghost Network status and presence. Mind damage. If your ghost is erased your memories are gone.
• Memories Unit of value, generic currency in the City
