Follow up to my previous post, we are still looking for at least 1 but up to 3 more players for a Cities Without Number campaign. For those who don’t know, CWN is an OSR style cyberpunk game made by Kevin Crawford, the same designer of WWN and SWN. This is meant to be a sandbox campaign based in Chicago where the party has full autonomy to stick it to the man or get on the corporation’s side, with everything in between.

Looking for 2-3 players for a CWN campaign tentatively titled “Chrome Fires Burning.” Voice is on Discord, VTT will probably be roll20. Everyone is welcome, the only rule is don’t be a dick.

Elevator pitch is as follows:
The year is 2072. In 2025 the development of a new drug, ephemerol, lead to unbelievable advances in cybernetics and technological implantation. Able to bridge the gap between the nervous system and machine circuitry, ephemerol was hailed as a miracle drug, ushering in a new age of transhumanism

However, before this new technological golden age could be upon us, it was smothered in the cradle by corporate greed. A jealousy guarded secret, the corporations who developed it held the formula for the miracle drug hostage, demanding corporate sovereignty in exchange for granting access to the masses. A combination of public promises, lobbyists, and paid politicians ensured this deal went through

The gift became a double edged sword as the drug was distributed, only working with the cybernetics supplied by those corporations granted sovereignty, allowing them to gobble up more and more influence, to the point that entire cities have become little more than corporate towns, beholden to the companies that own them

Within these sovereign territories, anything that threatens the bottom line is meet with brutal consequences. The workers who decided to rise up, to unionize, were branded criminals and domestic terrorists, locked away if not executed in a back alley

Public utilities have been sold off little by little, leaving those who refuse the hand of the corporations with rapidly dwindling resources. The once mighty governments of the world now forced to bend the knee to the oligarchs

Gangs run rampant, acting with impunity as long as their dues are paid, or left to their own devices due to lack of resources to stop them

Despite this turmoil, there is new opportunity. Companies now fight a desperate war for market share, managers willing to pay to sabotage one another for the next promotion. Money talks, and right now, it’s screaming

Chicago is one such battleground. Built into a shining edifice as the headquarters of several massive corporations, it now resembles a patchwork of countries, as each corporation claims sovereign territory within the blocks of city property it lays claim to. A hub of trade even in this time, boardroom battles spill out on to the streets, bullet and blade picking up where ink and negotiation fail

Looking for players for a Cities Without Number campaign on either Saturdays or Sundays starting after 830pm central time. Voice will be done via discord and VTT will utilize roll20. Premise is up in the air right now, as there will be session 0 to decide goals and theme as well as level of magic, going from standard cyberpunk all the way up to full science fantasy. All are welcome, the only rule is don’t be a dick

Edit: just filled. However, feel free to post and if people drop out, I’ll check to see if you’re still interested
