I will preface this by saying I don't own the CY_BORG core rulebook, so while I'm familiar with the rules for Mork Borg, and I have an idea of some of the new mechanics, there might have been adjustments to the rules that I am not aware of.

I think the theme and writing for the Porcelain Android is the star of the show, thought the artwork is certainly solid. Each one of the origins is a mystery that could be woven into a campaign, as is the Strange Friendly Neighbour. Speaking of which, starting equipment is very varied. I also like that there's also an NPC statblock for the Porcelain Android which is excellent for GMs who want one as an NPC. Finally I love the fact that is class is inspired by the Porcelain Doll from Mork Borg's Bestiary. Honestly there are a few other Mork Borg creatures I would love to see get a grimy cyberpunk reimagine, namely the Wickerheads and the Pale Ones.

While I do think the writing is great, there is one spot where it could be better. That spot is the 4 bore magnum. Its ability text isn't particularly clear to me. Does it require a D18 presence check and 2 mags to use? Or do you use 2 mags if you fail the presence check. I will say looking at it again, I lean towards the former interpretation, but even then, its not 100% clear to me.

I ultimately like this new class. When I was playing around with the CY_BORG character generator, I was surprised to find there was seemingly no "rouge android" class. It struck me as odd since it was a cyberpunk trope as old as the genre. Porcelain Android rectifies this in a very Mork Borg fashion with striking results. This might be the entry that pushes me over the edge, and convinces me to buy CY_BORG.

Thank you very much for the review! I'm glad you love the work I did! 

I realized that when I first got the CY_Borg  book at comic con . I was surprised that it didn't contain the pale ones, wickheads, and even the undead dolls! So, the moment this jam hits I'm going for it! I came up with the idea of using the undead dolls then converted  into an android  that has mysterious origins that you and the party has to investigate while you have some humanity or whatever is left of it.  

plus, I love androids as a mysterious figure character trope.  

Now  for the egg on my face: (sleep/ work burnout  brain ruined my train of thought!)

"While I do think the writing is great, there is one spot where it could be better. That spot is the 4 bore magnum. Its ability text isn't particularly clear to me.

In cy_borg , after combat is over you check to see if your gun needs  to reload by mags.  so I'll fix that for better clarity 

I'm glad you participated this jam also and hope you enjoyed looking at this class!
