Three Tight Jams // @TheSprawl_RPG at Origins and coming to Gen Con //
As I noted in a (backer only) Kickstarter update, I was at Origins last month. I ran three games of The Sprawl in Games on Demand for players including external playtesters, backers, and interested people who missed the kickstarter.

Management is pleased to report that yesterday’s scheduled drill caused only minor delays in non-essential sectors. We are pleased to announce that final incorporation of your feedback to The Sprawl document was completed and has been passed along the development chain to the layout department.

After a couple of days of work in the text and logistics (such logistics!) I was hoping to put out a backer update this afternoon. Sadly, the best laid plans of Ardens Ludere have been delayed by some shadow team’s mission: http://t.co/bV65vNw169
I hope the transformer explosion was part of their plan!
Just wondering how the project is going?
Just wondering how the project is going? As of the last update, a month ago, you said the book was about to go into layout… any news on how that’s going?
A new backer update and a new (final) version for your perusal!

I’ll be running The Sprawl (and Dungeon World) at Origins this weekend. Come say hi!

As I move through the text, I’m thinking about custom moves and hacking The Sprawl.

Why not crowd source some of that, I thought to myself?
So, if anyone has any custom moves they like and wants to share them, please post them here or send them to me.
Or if anyone has areas of the game that they’d like to see more custom moves or hacks for, let me know.

As I noted in the last update (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ardensludere/the-sprawl-cyberpunk-roleplaying-powered-by-the-ap/posts/1238690), I got the final edits back from Gerald Cameron a couple of weeks ago.
Last week I went over those parts I needed to consider and address before running a game at Gamex over the weekend.
Today I’ve begun to attack the rest of the document. Mostly this involves accepting Gerald’s changes to the document. Sometimes it involves rejecting them. Sometimes there are new sections to discuss and write. My goal is to have this process done before I leave for Origins next Wednesday. That might be optimistic, but I have a few clear days, so I’m hopeful that I can get it done.
Any news after a quiet month? I can’t wait to buy the book Hamish Cameron

Having re-watched Johnnie Mnemonic recently I was struck how the film had morphed from the short story/novella and considering that the screenplay was written by Gibson. I wonder what (apart from film considerations) made him change the storyline. The opening scene in the book is matched in the film with some slight alterations but the whole Pharmakem and the ‘cure’ got stapled on. The Loteks were fun and matched my mental image from the book. They struck me as a group that wouldn’t have been out-of-place in Serenity working with/for Mr. Universe.
Certainly JM seemed to be a better match for The Sprawl than my original thought of Neuromancer/Sprawl trilogy. I’m going to re-watch the Matrix series to see how that might affect my visualisation regarding the game.
