Meat Space is currently in pre-alpha, and this page will be expanded with additional guidance, examples and context during development.

Mechanics is a categorical term. It refers to the rules and ways in which the distinct aspects of Meat Space are defined and how they interact.

Mechanics define and determine how Abilities, Items, Cyberware, Characters, Vehicles or any other element of Meat Space affects the story Players are telling during their campaign through gameplay. These are the rules that cover how things such as Terrain, Turns, Dice Pools or Scenes operate, what they are and how they work in gameplay.
