Make choices in a philosophical story that’s driven by science.
I would love to play a story where some scientist is thrust back 8000 or more years back in time and has to guide past humans while finding out the scientist is immortal.
Wtf is “atompunk” and why does every single sci fi genre have to be called somethingpunk now? Cyberpunk had a reason to be called that, I really don’t see the reasoning behind every other somethingpunk moniker.
Atompunk is the dark version of 50’s era astro-futurism, like in the Fallout games.
The “punk” moniker suffixed onto genres generally implies tones and/or themes one would associate with the punk movement, e.g. anger at a corrupt system, anti-authoritarianism, anarchist ideals, etc.
I’ll agree the usage is oversaturated, though, and is sometimes only used to convey “dystopian”
