"There is no wealth but life. Life, including all its powers of love, of joy and of admiration. That country is richest which nourishes the greatest number of noble and happy human beings; that man is richest, who, having perfected the functions of his own life to the utmost, has also the widest helpful influence, both personal and by means of his possessions, over the lives of others."

Cyberpunk at CottageCon IV: The Horror!



No Woman No Cry

A game for 5 players using the first edition of the Cyberpunk RPG, by R. Talsorian Games.

Place: Great Britain - Northern Massive Conurbation (NMC)

Time: 2172 CE

Who: Non-aligned Security Specialist Team (NASST) - comprising ex-military, security contractors, providing services to highest bidders i.e. MegaCorporations.

Situation: As the best NASS Team around, it's a fucking mystery as to how you are currently blinking through clearing smoke, looking around at your wounded, fellow team members and coming to the realisation that one of your number, Veronika, is missing, apparently snatched by the goon squad that just ambushed you and took you to the cleaners.  This has never happened before.  Your assailants acted almost as a single entity, almost as if they were in telepathic communication with each other, it was truly weird, man.  Getting to your feet, your well-trained tactical brains all reach the same conclusion as to your immediate course of action:

1.    Get to a safe location and get patched-up.
2.    Figure out who snatched Veronika and where they may have taken her.
3.    Get some pay-back, big time.

Get chipped-in and get jacked-up, because pay-back is going to be a bitch.
