That's all for today, and it's now time for the latest season of HorizonTube's Most Degrading Videos!"Ĭorp enclaves with security guards and immaculate hedges, surgically clean. Knight Errant confirms that "an investigation is under way to catch the thief". Tomorrow, sunny with a chance of cancer since the disappearance of the ozone layer. However, coastal trideoviewers, you might want to stay off the sand today, as an angry major foam spirit is planning to clean up the latest oil spill manu militarii, and as far as I know him he won't be picky about which kind of organics he dissolve. Hopefully, I had a word with the water spirit responsible, and we might have a few rays of sun before a clear evening. And thank you, Llanwin! For today the weather is going to be cloudy with a chance of acid rain. Now it's time for the weather, with our breezy wind elemental, Mistral! an Aztechnology spokesman declared that this was "pure invention from those who want to damage the reputation of the last corporation to have a soul". (Think Minority Report.) Show how people are afraid to lose what little they have that the corps leave them, but aren't brave enough to stand up and fight for it. (Killing a guy might be 100 muyen and a steak dinner, more if the peraon is higher than low lifestyle.) Run corporate commercials based off the players' in-game habits from the SINs they broadcast and purchase patterns. Beat thw hopes and dreams out of the SINless by having them willing to do large favors for 20 nuyen. Cast shafows over the happy landscape by showing the dogs or horses at the track are destined for the food truck if they lose again. Remind them that 'Flavor Additive Number 5: Authentic Kansas City Barbecue" flavor is out of stock and the soy sucks without it. Promote that the low lifestyle folks really get their stomachs rumbling when they're invited to a restaurant, as the food smells real (let alone good). Show that the corps don't care about the Barrens, or the folks living there. Creat buzz about thrash country rock bands that live fast and burn out. Stress the latest simsense release instead of trideo or flatvid movies. Make the Johnson do a line of something at the meet, or have the bartender in a half-daze as they slot a chip to make the shift go by better. Pimp the pimps and pushers, and smear on the drug users and chip heads. (Clothing is paper thin, or recycled product based, or paper mache quality holsters for the one-shot disguise). Stress the disposable nature of pretty much everything. Do an 'Edgar Friendly' style graffiti campaign in paint or ARO in odd places. Hype the branding AROs the runners have to walk through. Do snippets about food or drink, like NukIt burgers or Sprawl Kola. Throw in a news announcement about the current Urban Brawl game, or which corp was fined for their Combat Biker sponsorship (which they publicly gripe about but secretly love because it's publicity). Ref materials for some fashionista/detailing essentials : ghost in the shell, Akira, Johnny mnenomic, neuromancer, blade runner, RoboCop, etc. BackstAbbery from Johnson's could become an overplayed plot hook but the methodology of betrayal adds that extra sense of trust no one. Random encounters with overconfident gangers, scavenging/burglary teams, drug smugglers, human trafficking, organ leggers, prostitution ring operators, all add that gritty flavor. While these people might be healthier than us today for simple nutritional and disease treatments, they have a variety of odd problems to deal with: allergenic toxins in the atmosphere, acid rain, smog inhilation, excessive exposure to electromagnetic, radioactive or thaumaturgically active materials. Overcrowding in big cities, pollutants, people rooting through garbage cans, shady druggies on the corners, prostitutes and John's and pimps: film noir dungeons and dragons. It's not the glistening space cowboy/Star trek future, it's corporatized Earth - meaning all the problems of consumerism exist. Well, the classical fiction books are always a good start, but the appeal of cyberpunk futura is that it's grimy. "Watch your back, shoot straight, conserve ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon."

Sadly our nova hot community isn't the best place to discuss the mechanics discussion or troubleshooting the video games. Mostly the pen and paper role playing game, but also the deck building card game, video games, and literature of Shadowrun.
