Neotropolis CRASH Projects
The CRASH Space(Ship) has made its way to Kepler-609c and Neotropolis! CRASHers visited the Mojave Desert for a 5-day cyberpunk camping festival full of makers, artists, and engineers.
Not sure what Neotropolis is? Check out their highlight video, or imagine the immersive characters and set design of Disneyland, the parties and nightlife of Vegas, and the character roleplay of D&D- all set in a Bladerunner-type universe.
