Rust Crown
Welcome to Karrow—a landfill moon where the Inner Ring dumps everything it wants forgotten, and the Anselm-Ryu Combine owns your air, housing, and hours. Debt is inherited, passing from parent to child, and every season ends with a brutal bond-review audit where uncollected debt means extended indenture. Only eleven families in sixty years have ever bought their freedom. The single way out is a championship purse from the Corona Circuit—lethal, high-speed frame racing through scrap canyons and debris fields, broadcast system-wide by the Racecast. But the official grid belongs to corporate dynasties like House Aldemar, whose heir Sevrine Aldemar has never been allowed to lose. Unlicensed scrappers race the illegal Tailings Run instead, bleeding for purses in the Middens. You begin as an anonymous sorter on line eleven carrying a 28,000 scrip bond. Your story begins when former works crew chief Marguerite "Mags" Toivonen helps you recover KST-9 "Kestrel"—a blacklisted works prototype frame whose pilot-sync core still holds the reflexes, racing lines, and corrupted memories of dead racing legend Ekene Varga. What to expect: - Immersive Cyberpunk & Dystopian Frame Racing RPG with deep worldbuilding and high-stakes choices. - Interactive Status Header tracking your time, location, wallet balance, and running bond debt across a 12-week season. - Dynamic Cast of Characters: Mags Toivonen (haunted crew chief), Sevrine Aldemar (ruthless dynasty champion), Adjuster Pell (procedural bureaucrat), Tobi Reyes (line eleven chant leader), and the Kestrel's glitching core. - 4 Alternate Greetings providing different entry points: race night at the canyon mouth, audit week at Downcradle, an ion storm race, or a quiet repair session in Mags' bay. - Comprehensive 41-entry Lorebook detailing Caldus Reach locations, Combine history, racing mechanics, and character backstories. Can you pilot the Kestrel, climb the Tailings Run, survive bond-review, and uncover the truth behind Varga's
