Dysmal

Setting Primer

The setting primer for Dysmal. It is a cyberpunk, sci-fi noir setting heavily inspired by Cyberpunk 2077, Shadowrun, Neuromancer, and various other media such as Star Wars (especially EU Coruscant). The tone is - as the setting's name suggests - very dismal, bleak, and dystopian with a hint of glimmering hope in the darkness. Dysmal borrows from my other setting Tales of Alfador, established as a sort of spinoff. It is also related to Suprosa as something of an 'alternate past'.

The New Ascardian Megalopolis

Also known as: The Dysmal City

Neo Ascardia is an enormous super-metropolis spanning hundreds of miles. It dominates much of the former national borders of the nation of New Ascardia. It consists of hundreds of districts and microcities. The city has also expanded upwards, building layers upon layers upward - with as many as 4 layers of surface in some areas.

The Ascardian Superarcology (Neo Ascardia) - The largest and most centralized sector of the megalopolis. It towers into the sky, with four layers of surface and and a towering fifth layer of skyscrapers and other towering buildings - many not accessible from the ground at all.
