As part of my prep for running The Sprawl at the next con I attend as a GM rather than player (I have six games already scheduled for UK Games Expo at the end of May so I can’t fit a game in there) I’ve been pulling together some material.
I grabbed the Art of War books (100 Cyberpunk Megacorporations, 100 Cyberpunk Locations, 100 Cyberpunk NPC’s), a copy of Masks (1000 memorable NPC’s and some modern floorplans in case the players veer off into left field. ) for player inspiration and MC support.
For plots I have picked up copies of 100 Cyberpunk Runs and Another 100 Cyberpunk Runs plus the GM’s Cookbook Cyberpunk genre plot hooks. SO there is plenty of options for games and if I go with Hamish Cameron ‘s suggestion of full-on chargen for the first hour of the game slot that should fill a number of slots at Indiecon in November
Those sound like very cool resources! Are they available on DTRPG?
Yes, I should have mentioned that, sorry for not plugging them better. While I can think up stuff myself it’s often easier if I can hand some material off to a player and they use it for inspiration – names, corporations, places for example.
The cyberpunk runs and job books are a bit pedestrian and samey with the choice of mission being very limited but it’s easy to substitute something other than a genetically modified lab mouse for the Macguffin. These things are pretty cheap and a great source for quickly finding people and corporation names if nothing else.
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll look at picking them up!
I might look at making some similar PDFs down the road, so it would be good to see what’s out there and where it can be improved!
They could definitely do with some improvements . Some of them look like they were produced using a BASIC program pulling data from a very small random table.
