[Kickstarter] Echoes of the Veil: Cinematic Cyberpunk RPG hack of CBR+PNK
Are there any "text caches" that we still are not sure what's inside?
> In 1345 he personally discovered a collection of Cicero’s letters not previously known to have existed, the collection Epistulae ad Atticum, in the Chapter Library (Biblioteca Capitolare) of Verona Cathedral So basically a guy goes into a library, rummages for a while, and finds ~1400 years old text no one knew was there Do we still have places that store texts (like libraries, but doesn’t have to strictly be a library) where we don’t have everything catalogued and we don’t know what might be inside?

[GM discussion][Shadowrun] Krampus in container district - do you have some cool idea for me?
# Backdrop * district built out of containers and neglected housing blocks. Container corridors, walls and floors, leaking pipes, gang laws # Context * in order to be shown the way to the secret lab in the heart of container district characters have to infiltrate, they need to do something for one of three local gangs. I want this to be a kind of Mexican standoff where they have to choose which faction to support * Their arcs/previous deeds are making spirit of that city to “wake up”. They will need its help and I need a way to point them to something like that existing * Since we are going to play sometime soon, Krampus is a nice idea # Background * unrest in the city is making people start believing there has to exist some vengeful force of justice. Hence in container district a Krampus started to operate. It randomly appears to flail to death most naughty (adults). So far, mostly without credible witnesses nor survivors. Flees the scene on foot, but can cover impossible distances when not observed by anyone. I don’t intend to fully define what this Krampus is * few days ago a VTOL with shipment of MCT genetically un-modified chickens has been shot down and crashed somewhere in the disctrict. Everyone who knows how to get to the lab wants them * Anarchist commune wants them as food source (un-modified means those don’t require patented seeds) * Wizgang wants them for signing their deals (un-modified means pure auras - mcguffin, just roll with it) * small-fry Yakuza officer wants them to return them to MCT for clout (MCT is one of our campaign villains) * not many chickens survived, they can’t share * there was a fourth faction in the area but it got wiped by Krampus. Only a BTL hard user has seen something, but is half terrified, half not completely awake * Wizgang and Yakuza sent their forces to retrieve the cargo. No-one returned. Unknown to the groups, both parties were wiped by Krampus. But they of course blame each other and maybe even the commune too? Commune doesn’t really have strike-force, but definitely has clout in the neighborhood * Area around the VTOL has become a two-sided conflict zone (Wiz and Yak) # Plan My idea is that whatever my players decide to do, they will in some way observe the Krampus. Mostly killing both sides of conflict. I want them to later start asking around what could that have been to get to some know-it-all saying “well, maybe it’s the spirit of the city” Do you see some flaws in this idea? Some cool idea came to your mind?
[Shadowrun Fiction] (No spoilers) Shadowrun: Dark Synergy From Russell Zimmerman
I don’t want to spoil, so won’t say much about the plot etc. To me it was a good read. Well written, I went from 16% to 100% in one day. The mystery was delivered nicely, well paced and interesting idea. And I liked the exploration of corp environment at high positions. I think it’s not done often at this POV

TIL Gravity is not about mass pulling other mass. It's mass bending time that makes other mass get closer
Is this still freedom of speech or it crosses into hate?
Honest question about the acceptance lines, not trying to trigger a response Personally, I feel this is misogynistic and derogatory. But maybe I’m the one out of line Btw, is there some other way to flag a whole community to the mods?
[Shadowrun] Anyone took a look at "Shadowrun: The Needle's Eye"?
