Utopia
A downloadable game
Utopia is a neo-futuristic roleplaying game, drawing on elements of cyberpunk and speculative science fiction. In Utopia, you will make some decisions about your setting, create a character with goals and ambitions and work to achieve those goals, while dealing with whatever challenges the world throws at you.
SOLO PLAY - GM-LESS GROUP PLAY - GM'D PLAY
What is Utopia?
The world of Utopia is a world that has recovered from a cataclysmic event known as “The Fall”, which altered the landscape of the world as we know it. 100 years later, the world has rebuilt itself into a place of technology, innovation and hope for a bright future. However, despite advances in nearly every field, from medicine, science and biology, to robotics, automation and farming, conflict remains ingrained in every level of society. The gap between the rich and poor widens more with each passing day, while thousands of people go without basic necessities and medical care. Corporate power has expanded to a point where corporations maintain their own private military forces and political candidates maintain corporate sponsorships. Rampant computerization has led to new extremes of media integration in everyone’s daily lives, while new theological struggles around what constitutes a living person have emerged with innovations in cybernetics, cloning and artificial intelligence.
The world is a complicated place. Some people are trying to get ahead, right wrongs, fight the power, climb the corporate ladder, discover miracle cures, invent new tech, help others, get rich or become powerful. Others are just trying to survive.
Welcome to Utopia.
The Character is the Thing
Characters are the lifeblood of Utopia. Unlike other tabletop roleplaying games where the game master drives the story, in Utopia you'll create goals and ambitions for your character that you'll work towards accomplishing. It's these goals that will push the story forward and direct your gameplay. With each goal you accomplish, your character will become more skilled and knowledgable.
A Setting Built for Customization
One of the first things you'll do when you start playing Utopia is customize your setting. You'll make decisions about your city's government, how AI's and artificial humans are treated and what the landscape beyond your city looks like. But the customization doesn't end there. Whether you want to play in an oppressive cyberpunk dystopia, a utopian solarpunk paradise or a post-war wasteland, Utopia has all the right blanks for you to fill in.

This looks really good. Are there any youtube playthroughs? I didn't see any. I'm new to solo rpgs and already spent a tidy sum so want to finish some I already bought or see this in actual paly before buying. However, if it goes on sell I might bite anyway, I don't think I have any ground up solo sci fi RPGs. Oh and the artwork looks nice.
Any of you guys or gals actually play the game. What did you think?
Hi There!
I'm not aware of any youtube playthroughs of the game, but there was some chat about the game on Reddit closer to the release date and there are some reviews on the drive thru page: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/339514/Utopia
I always add a few community copies of the game up at the end of the month, based on how many sales were made, so if you're unsure about GMless games or just want to give the game a try and see if it's for you, feel free to grab one of the community copies to try it out. I'm adding the community copies for this month today.
If you like the game and want to throw me a couple dollars, you can always purchase a copy later, or there are physical copies available through DriveThruRPG.
THANK YOU! Grabbed a copy. Going to be the next one I play.
Hey there,
I'm an agent sent by the Uniting Church of Beggars.
I've come here to notified that your game "Utopia," which our Association is having eye on, has run out of "Community Copy."
I ask of you to please grace us with your generosity! Our Mendicant Society would be greatly indebted to you.
I post more community copies near the end of each month, based on the number of copies sold. I posted this months drop a little early so you can grab one. If you miss it, more should be available at the end of next month.
I thank your benevolence.
The executives at the HQ will be delighted with this good news. After all, they have desired the HD picture of that hot, seducing, tempting veiled robot lady in the game's overview for years.
As a pact of friendship, our "Alliance of Wanderers and Vagrants " and its entire personnel will be at your disposal anytime. We owe you a big one this time.
Anyway, I've only briefed through the book, but I really like what I'm seeing so far, so I might just spend money to get the game for real. And holy molly, 240 pages are a LOT. My today night is going to be a long one :)
