When @miriamrobern asked me to write a capsule game for Xine's premier issue, I was beyond flattered. Then @JeremyForbing mentioned a project then called Cortex Zero. He pitched how he wanted to see Cortex Zero used. I said well I had this Lite series idea... #cortexrpg #ttrpg

They're antisocial, scaley, and their culture in unfathomably ancient. They are CUCA, river-dwelling outsiders who don't even like the company of their own kind. For those of you who like to play brooding loner characters, here it is, your ideal fantasy splat! #CortexKeystone
