conversations.value: *Alpine City, south side, patrol sector 8 … your own little slice of Hell, nestled in Neo-Corp paradise.  You’ve been living here for a while … good times, and bad.  Gang wars, Neo-Corp “Street Cleaning” operations, ACPD “Justice Sweeps”, designer disease plagues, serial killer sprees — you name it, you’ve survived it.  That makes you part of an elite … the 1% of 1% that runs the ragged edge of legal and illegal, of deniable and disposable, of successful and body donor.*  
  *That 1% of 1% — your Set — are called Edgerunners.  It takes all kinds to do what you do; good, bad, ugly, bold, beautiful, young, ruthless, crazy, cold blooded … it takes all kinds, and you meet all kinds out here on the Ragged Edge.*  
  *Last night, The City bit your ‘Hood … hard.  Normally, in this city, an elderly couple running a street corner noodles & saki house getting gunned down and burned out wouldn’t even make the news. But this happened in **your** ‘Hood.  This morning, your NetHook had a meeting invitation for the VIP room at your favourite watering hole.  Dee Slam, Fixer and Thirdman of Sector 8 has got crypto-cash on the table and wants blood in the gutter about what went down at “Angulo Noodles kaj Alkoholo”.  You ain’t gonna miss that meeting.  This is **your** ‘Hood.*  
  
  **Setting:** Fictional city nestled in the Canadian Rockies, “at least eight hours drive from anywhere you’d rather be”
  
  **Tone:** Gritty, Ugly, Messy.  Neo-Noir;  Think *Bladerunner* (1982)
  
  **Number of players:** 4 - 6
  
  **Player roles:** Combat Cyborgs, Information Systems Hackers, Kit-bashing Techno-wizards, Urban Nomad Clan, Gang Members, Neo-Corporate Entrepreneurs, Rock/ Rap/ Spoken Word Bards, Independent Journalists
  
  **Power scale:**  Moderate.  One or two pieces of “plot device” cybernetics at most.  Non-military semi-automatic and automatic weapons;  fists, swords, chains and nunchaku are more common in a fight.
  
  **First Scene will be:**  Someone has just pissed off one of the ‘Hood’s more senior “Fixers”.  He’s hiring you — cash, in advance, generous — to suggest that the idiots in question stay outta *his* turf and *your* ‘Hood.  You’ll be getting the details and the crypto-cred cards as soon as the game starts.
  
  **Character relationships:**  You all know each other, both by Street Reputation as well as a common watering hole.  You may not be ‘padres, but you don’t have any reason to actively dislike each other, either.
  
  **Other Notes:** Familiarity with either the “Cyberpunk 2013” RPG, “Cyberpunk 2020” RPG, “Shadowrun” RPG, the "Bladerunner” movie or the “Max Headroom” TV-series would be beneficial.  Also, Walter Jon William’s novel “HardWired”.
  
  **ESRB:** Expect “M” for “Mature” – Content is generally suitable for ages 17 and up. May contain intense violence, blood and gore, sexual content and/or strong language. May contain use of Alcohol, Drugs, or Tobacco.
  
  **Rules Quirk:**  If you have 2 pieces of “plot device” cybernetics, then you *must* immediately re-write your Weakness “wild card” as **Chrome Fever**: *You’ve gone beyond human normal … faster, smarter, stronger, with keener senses, deadlier skills and wilder limits.  And your new normal means that sometimes your view of reality doesn’t fit so well with everyone else’s.  And that can be … frustrating.*  
  Every piece of “plot device” cybernetics after the second will cost you *another* “Chrome Fever” Weakness card.

conversations.value: Timbucks: The ubiquitous coffee & sandwich shop of the mid-21st Century, with neo-Street designs catering to the Three-Vee drama image of life on the Edge.
  
  Of course, it's actually pretty rare an Edgerunner ever steps into one of these places.  Most of the time it's beavers, wage-slaves and ladder-boys.
  
  Still, it's always a good cup of coffee and a reasonably real sandwich.

conversations.value: "Tranĉaĵo de Paradizo Suitoj": *Slice of Paradise Suites* is a typical 4-story walk-up that was mass-fabbed during the Great Expansion.  The standard architecture for one of these places, though, doesn't explain the extra set of 400 amp electrical service lines, or the SATNETCOM dish that is on the roof.

  Just because you are paranoid does not mean you are not being watched.  Constantly.
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.value: Jackie En, ACPD Detective: Jackie calls himself the "dubious practices division" of the Alpine City Police Department.  He's an ex-crook that did five years, came out clean, and joined the force.  He's a bit of a hard ass, but word is he's a sucker for a pretty face and his hearts in the right place.
conversations.from: gpt

conversations.from: human
conversations.value: OCD, both sides of the coin: Be early, be late, never be on time to the location. If you show when expected, you die before you planned to.
  
  Never early, never late, always be on time for the meeting. Exactly on time. Clients didn't like when you were late, you didn't like the social niceties of being early.

Modeled after the old Australian outback jackets, it had many pockets, places to hide all her little toys and was even weatherproof. One of her old compadres had designed and built it for her, a thank you for an old favour well done.

  She wasn't the techy, the knowledge getter, but she was the soldier and she was a damned good one.
  Her job was to make trouble, break things, keep her team alive.
  If she wasn't the best, there weren't many others better.
  If someone died on her watch, it wasn't because she didn't do everything she could to prevent it.
  Even if it was stupid.

  Finding weak spots to exploit is as easy as breathing for you.
