Codex of the Watershed

Welcome to The Watershed. Forget the neon-drenched cityscapes and corporate espionage of traditional cyberpunk. The Current introduces you to the rich world of Cyberfolk. This is a game where:

• Tech Meets Nature: Explore a future where "maintenance logs read like prayers to dying servers cooled by Columbia River water," and "biowood growth charts" predict your grief. The game centers on the interplay between technological infrastructure and the living systems of the world.
• Memory, Myth, and Community: Stories are rooted in community resilience and the collective experience of transformation. Memory is terrain, and the very "river remembers your name," drawing on mythic undertones within a technologically altered landscape.
• Soft Power & Witnessing: Gameplay prioritizes "soft power and story-first play" over traditional combat. You are here to witness profound change and tell intimate, evocative narratives, not just to win.

What You Get in This Bundle:

• The Current: Codex of the Watershed: Dive deep into the atmospheric lore of the Corridor, 2071. This ritual primer, woven from fragmented maintenance logs, transit passes, and weather warnings, immerses you in a near-future where climate refugees arrive, river systems fail, and the very water seems to remember everything.
• The Current: Core Rules: Learn the foundational mechanics of this narrative-first TTRPG. Discover how to play as "The Touched"—characters altered by a vast, unknowable force—and navigate a world where tension trumps combat, memory shapes terrain, and uncertainty is by design.
