How to describe '''Carbon Pink'''? Well, try to imagine what would happen if a [[Chaos Cultist]] of [[Slaanesh]] decided to invent an RPG setting based on throwing together [[Cyberpunk 2020]] and [[Fallout]] (with perhaps a dash of [[Necromunda]] and [[Shadowrun]]) and then running the whole thing on [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]]. Whatever you're picturing is probably not too different from the reality of Carbon Pink.

Created by the online porno artist Rapscallion, Carbon Pink is a "lighthearted, lewd-flavored" [[Post-Apocalyptic]] [[Cyberpunk]] setting for D&D 5th edition that takes place on an Earth that was almost entirely ruined by ecological collapse. Now, what's left of humanity largely huddles around the now-tropical polar zones, mostly clustered in sprawling hive-cities (no, seriously, they literally call them hive-cities) under the control of warring megacorporations that keep their teeming legions of vassals compliant with ludicrously copious amounts of sex, drugs and violence. [[Adventurer]]s can face the corporate-controlled mercenaries, assassins and roving gangers of the hive, or set out into the blasted wastes and battle the [[mutant]] hordes, killer robots, murderous AI-controlled hardlight holograms, and other raving lunatics.

==Races==
In addition to humans, Carbon Pink offers eight distinct playable races, the product of humanity's mad scramble to prevent the total genetic collapse of Earth's biosphere and the subsequent abuse of cybernetics and gene-modding for fun and profit. There are also rules for custom-brewing your own races.

'''Jerboans''' are a race of [[beastfolk]] created by splicing humans with kangaroo rat DNA in an effort to create a race that could survive the rampant desertification of Earth. They were the first [[abhuman]] race of Carbon Pink's worlds. They maintain a proud tradition of anarchistic biker gang culture, clinging to petrol-powered tech in a world that has largely moved on to solar-powered tech.

'''GOBBOs''' (Generating Oxygen By Biosynthesising Oxides) are a [[goblin]] like race of greenskinned [[shortstack]]s, created in an attempt to produce more desert-suitable [[abhuman]]s without direct animal gene-splicing. Half human and half plant, they are capable of photosynthesis, which has ironically made them only lazier and more hedonistic than humans.

'''Nayalings''' are a [[draenei]]-like race originally created as supersoldiers during the final wars that wracked humanity before the megacorps fully took over.

'''E.L.Fs''' (Extension of Life Functions) are the genetically engineered and augmented descendants of the ultra-wealthy CEOs that basically took over the world, who not coincidentally look like super-sexy [[elves]]. They are divided into three subraces; Executive ELFs (the "purebloods"), Street ELFs (crossbreeds between regular humans and Executive ELFS), and Undercity ELFs (who have the thankless job of managing the underground data centers that keep the megacities functional).

'''Splicers''' are the descendants of humans who took the el cheapo option to bio-modding; rather than getting expensive specialist gene-mods or cyber-implants, they just had animal genes spliced into them. The end result were humans with features of one (or more) animals, as well as a genuine risk of devolving into feral creatures called "beastmen".

'''Wukongs''' were an attempt by rogue AI dissatisfied with humans to create a superior race by uplifting monkeys. They then found the downside to rushing evolution when the Wukong turned out to be a race of pervy little thieves and troublemakers.

'''Artificates''' are [[android]]s that have spontaneously awoken to sapience.

'''Remakes''' are humans or [[abhuman]]s who have cheated death by having their consciousness digitized and then downloaded into a mechanical body.

==Classes==
Caron Pink takes the unusual approach of having its own set of core classes with custom mechanics that replace the canonical classes of D&D, to the point they then use the subclasses from canon D&D to supplement themselves.

'''Auditors''' are the [[Ranger]] replacement.

'''Brawlers''' are cyber-augmented [[Monk]] analogues.

'''Enforcers''' are robot-smiting mercenary [[Paladin]]s.

'''Influencers''' are the [[Bard]]s of this cyberpunk world.

'''Mechanists''' are [[Artificer]]s by any other name.

'''Ordinators''' have been "fused" with an AI, gaining powers that let them function as the equivalent of [[Cleric]]s.

'''Outlaws''' are just [[Rogue]]s.

'''Renegades''' are the [[Barbarian]]s of Carbon Pink's world.

'''Ronins''' are your [[Fighter]] analogues.

'''Shut-Ins''' employ weaponized total immersion video-game tech to basically function as the setting's [[Druid]]s.

'''Streamers''' are your [[Warlock]]s.

'''Source Coders''' stand in for [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)|Sorcerers]].

'''Techwizards''' are, well, [[Wizard]]s.

If you're actually interested in this setting for whatever reason, Carbon Pink houses all of its lore ''and'' its mechanics for classes, races, gear, monsters, and everything else you can imagine on its own wiki-esque site, which you can find here: https://slimwiki.com/carbon-pink
