Cypher System Neon Rain

Dance on the edge of what it means to be human in a world of gritty streets and slick technology. Holographic ads and fortified skyscrapers loom over the city’s decaying streets. Criminal gangs battle in the alleyways, while above the fray faceless megacorps control political, economic, and military power. Cybernetics are as common as mobile phones—but even so, life on the streets is brutal and short, and the line between survival and anonymous death often hangs on just one more questionable job… Take your Cypher System game into the cyberpunk realm with Neon Rain. Install cybernetic upgrades, use virtual reality to hack into corpo mainframes, and dodge guardians and traps built by hostile AIs. Smuggle designer drugs, or tweak with your own body chemistry and risk addiction and death. Chase and be chased at breakneck speeds on futuristic highways under a night sky. Inside this book you’ll find: Advice and tools for building your own intense cyberpunk setting, including optional rules (such as hacking and ultimate damage), creatures, cyphers, and artifacts. New foci, descriptors, and other options—build a Furious Solo who Packs Chromed Heat, an Engram Tech who Explores Cyberspace, or an Addicted Hotshot who Has a Custom Drone. Steely and mysterious creatures and NPCs ready to be dropped into any encounter; come across android Police Officer Tindal, or send the ruthless assassin Sophie Cantos after your rivals. Visit Theodora Fry in the black market, if you dare, or hire Balaga, the fastest driver in town, for your next heist. A ready-to-play setting featuring all the iconic cyberpunk elements you’d expect (and possibly some you won’t): cybernetics, megacorporations, street gangs, a weird internet, and ready-to-use encounter locations. Two complete Adventures usable in Edge City or your own setting: “Seventeeth Floor” and “Needle in The Haystack”!
