From the introduction:
Dystopia 23 the Razors Edge is an action packed role-playing game set in a harsh dystopian near future. Imagine a world that has fallen into chaos following an economic crisis of unprecedented proportions. It’s not too difficult! The way of life on planet Earth has changed dramatically, poverty is rampant, crime and violence have reached unparalleled levels and the chasm between rich and poor has become immense. In the midst of this trouble gigantic megacorporations rose from the ashes to claim dominance over world affairs. Their influence is terrifying, having wrapped their tentacles around economic, civil, political and even military realms.
This book is an introductory primer to the world of Dystopia 23. It has been written to allow you to learn the fundamentals of the gaming system and to play through a short sample scenario before buying the game proper. It is not a complete set of game rules. The rules in this book have been stripped down to the bare minimum to enable you to play through the scenario mission. The actual Dystopia 23 core rulebook has almost 400 pages of rules detailing every aspect of the game from creating characters through to combat and hacking in the Nexus.
