渣翻。暂时只翻译自己想用的。把顺序调整成了 CoM 规则书的顺序。
更新:
:Otherscape 的两本书已经快要正式发布了,规则相比我翻译时也已经修改了很多。感兴趣的可以去支持一下官方,这个翻译贴大概率不会再更新。

噪音主题问卷增强赛博增强、基因治疗、催眠精神调整等等增强为巨型城市(Megacity)的居民们提供了足够的超越人类的途径。只要有足够的金钱,一个人就能取得超人类的力量、速度、技能和感官。那些有渠道或者有恰当的街头联系人的人们可以被改造得看起来如同天使,恶魔,抑或介于二者之间的任何东西。增强已经大量存在,有些甚至很廉价。便宜的义肢和人造器官已经让生活变得便宜许多。与此同时,公司压榨着员工的身体,政府抛弃了公共卫生法规。
像你这样做危险工作的人需要每一丝可以取得的优势。你勉强攒够了钱,对自己做了几项修改。当然,它们或许会让你看起来像怪物,但那正好提高了你的街头信誉。用赛博相机眼看到你的对手来临总好过在街上被射击而一无所知。芯片上的反应电路,记忆数据库,甚至动物特征都能买得到。你永远没法预见哪个奇怪的改造会在紧要关头给你最需要的优势。
概念想想你的增强和你获得它的方式。是什么缺陷或目标让你寻求它?你如何买得起它?你是某个实验体或公司雇员吗?在你被增强了那么多之后,你的生活发生了怎样的改变?
在此基础上,想想下列问题的答案:
你的改造怎样改变了你?- 我成了某种超越人类的东西,正走向超越______(某种正常人类的限制)。
- 我的增强弥补了______ (某种缺陷、残疾或个人缺点)。
- 我被改造成了完美的______(某种角色、职业或头衔)。
- 增强让我释放了真正的自我,一个从来就该______(你的改造提供的主要能力)的人。
接下来,补充一些细节:你在什么时候取得了增强?是谁为你安装的?你获得它之后,你的生活发生了什么变化?被增强后,你如何看待这个世界?
力量标签问题- 你的增强叫什么名字?
- 这种增强最有用,或是最著名的应用是什么?
- 这种技术有什么不那么为人所知的特点或用法?
- 这种增强能如何增强你的战斗能力?
- 这种增强能如何用来伤害他人?
- 这种增强能如何用来避免或逃离危险?
- 使用或滥用这种技术的人会被叫做什么?
- 这种增强的维护需要什么专业知识、工具或材料?
- 是什么不寻常的生活方式或训练领域让你寻求这种技术?
- 你的增强在社交场合能给你什么优势?
弱点标签问题- 你的增强如何限制了你的行动或者身体能力?
- 这种技术如何让你的感官难以承受或损害了你的感官?
- 这种技术如何负面地改变了你的行为?
- 那些因你的改造而鄙视你的人是如何对待你的?
痒点为这个主题选择一个痒点:一种促使你更进一步的需要。一个你必须满足的、只有通过改造身体才能实现的愿望。一个必须要抓的精神之痒。例如:
- (机器身躯)把我的一切替换成机器。
- (间谍软件广播器)用电子间谍感染这个世界。
- (变色龙合成皮肤)与世界融合,悄无声息地穿越它。
你可以尝试探索以下选项,同时确保将它们与一种由你的增强所满足的需求相联系:
- 你会如何让你的增强更进一步?
- 是什么推动着你增强自己?
- 探索这种科技不可或缺的活动是什么?
在主题卡上写下痒点。
忽视这个痒点意味着你在脱离对改造的依赖,以及随之而来的好处。让所有玩家知道什么行为算违背这个痒点。
标题(:Otherscape 中,主题的第一个标签就是标题,不再有单独的标题。如果要用到 CoM 里的话,可以另外起一个标题。)
团队关系在创造团队成员之间的关系的时候,你可以在获得其他人的同意后,将以下情节之一分配给其他团队成员:
- 一个同伴也有类似的增强,只是更加简陋。你为他指明了方向。
- 一个团队成员认为你的能力有侵入性或可疑。
- 你增强的能力给你的一个团队成员留下了深刻印象,或许是在一次营救或其它勇敢的事件中。
- 一个同伴认为你的增强特别受欢迎,或者对你的团队和它的名声有其它帮助。
主题提升(官方暂未发布)
主题套装(:Otherscape 引入了主题套装(Theme kit)的概念,其实就是提前写好的现成主题。暂时不翻译)
劇透 - :
原文:
AUGMENTATION
Cybernetic enhancements, gene therapies, hypnotic mental adjustments, and more provide citizens of the Megacity with ample means of becoming more than human. With enough money, a person can gain superhuman strength, speed, skill, and senses. Those with means or the right street contacts can be altered to look angelic, demonic, or anything in between. Augmentations are bountiful and some are even inexpensive. Cheap cybernetic limb and organ replacements have made life much cheaper, as companies push the bodies of their employees and governments do away with public health laws.
People like you who do dangerous work need every advantage you can get. You’ve managed to scrape together the funds to get a few modifications made to yourself. Sure, they might make you look a little monstrous, but that just helps with your street cred. Better to see your foes coming through cybernetic camera eyes than to get shot in the street before you know what’s happening. Chipped reflex circuits, memory databases, and even animal traits are all on the table. You never know when some strange mod will give you that edge you need in a pinch.

CREW RELATIONSHIPS
When creating the relationships within your crew, you can cast the other crew members in one of the following scenarios, after receiving their approval:
A crewmate has similar enhancements, just much more primitive. You give them pointers.
A member of your crew considers your abilities invasive or suspicious.
Your enhanced abilities have greatly impressed one of your crew members, perhaps in a rescue or other daring event.
A fellow crew member considers your augmentations incredibly marketable or otherwise useful for your crew and its reputation.
CUSTOM AUGMENTATION THEME
Think about your augmentations and how you might have gained them. What deficiency or goal caused you to acquire them? How did you afford their installation? Were you an experiment or agent of a corporation? How has your life changed now that you are so greatly enhanced?
Based on this, think about the answer to the question below:
?HOW HAVE YOUR AUGMENTATIONS ALTERED YOU?
I am something more than human, on my way to transcending _______ (a normal human limitation).
My augmentations make up for _______ (an inability, disability, or personal shortcoming).
I have been altered to become the perfect _______ (a role, job, or title).
My augmentations reveal my true self, someone who should always have been _______ (the main ability your augmentations provide).
Flesh out your idea with some details: When did you acquire your augmentations? Who installed them for you? How has your life changed since you’ve gained them? How do you see the world now that you’ve been enhanced?
POWER TAG QUESTIONS

ITCH
Choose an Itch for this theme: A need that articulates what drives you to continue to become something more. A desire you must fulfill that can only be met through this alteration to your body. A mental itch that must be scratched. For example:
(robot body) “Replace all that I am with robotics.”
(spyware broadcaster) “Infect the world with electronic spies.”
(chameleon synth-skin) “Blend in with the world and move through it unnoticed.”
You can try exploring the following options while making sure to tie them to a need that your augmentation fills:
How might you continue to take this augmentation further?
Why are you driven to augment yourself?
What activity is essential to exploring this technology?
Write your Itch on your theme card.
Ignoring this Itch means that you are losing your dependence on your augmentations and the benefits that come with that drive. Let everyone at the table know what could constitute acting against this Itch.
