Category: The Sprawl: Chrome it, bathe it in neon (Inspiration)

So, I wrote this Love Letter for a character who, in my campaign, had his mother go missing. If you have issues with that particular subject, please don’t read this.

Consider the above warning the “X” card.

But, if you’d like to see how you can inject some drama into a campaign using your characters’ life stories and background, take a peek!

I know nothing of cyberpunk. I mean, I’ve seen Bladerunner, and some futuristic anime. That’s it. But, man I love running this game.

As far as “The Sprawl” versus other PBTA games, there’s something so palpable about all the “fronts” being Corporations who are disgustingly wealthy AND powerful AND borderline insurmountable AND also part of your everyday life whether you like it or not.

If this game is run right, (and I’m not saying I’m doing it. I’m working on it.) I think the excitement/tension can be so high. You can run a perfect mission and still screw up the world around you. You can betray trusted characters or blow missions for personal gain.

As much as you can MC this game as a one-shot or two-shot, if you have the time and willing players, definitely run a slightly longer campaign. It is very satisfying to plan the missions and see how players react, corporations move assets, threats arise, and PC’s develop.
