Date: 5th October, 2177 [will this day never end?] Weather: Rainy Mood: Disappointed. Does our hacker really have to be this incompetent? Outfit: Today I wore my maid outfit, because we were torturing this Rice dude and Pops wanted me to get coffees. I don’t know why this hunk of existentially doomed meat needs coffee,…

Date: 5th October 2177 Weather: Rainy Mood: Frustrated and exhausted. Who knew killing Americans was this tough? Outfit: My shiny new combat armour, that I bought with the proceeds from icing Lima. It’s snug and super tough at vulnerable points where other armour fails. Not very breathable and the peripherals on the helmet are…

[Editor’s note: this is a guest post giving an account of another downtime, played by Bart, who is responsible for our hacker, Ghost.] After loading in the loot from their latest gig, the hacker Ghost and kid mechanic Tail have separated from their companions to bring the stuff to their hideout quickly and are preparing…

Date: 4th October, 2177 Weather: Rainy Mood: So so so happy! I got to see Fae Ling Moon! She played her new anthem and the lights were amazing and I only missed the last two songs because of rioting, and Alt spoilt it a bit but we did good business. I didn’t get to kill…

[Editor note: This is the second Cyberpunk Facebook downtime, cleaned up and stripped of faffing. It describes what happened after we finally decided what to do with the loot we scored after killing Lima, and shows the dangers of hanging around to debate logistics in a world where the biggest guns rule. Fortunately in this…

[Faustusnotes note: This post is guest content by my GM, Eddie, which he has given me permission to upload from the background document he provided to us all. Over the next few weeks I’ll be uploading more of this material in concert with Cyberpunk game reports and other background information] The City You live in…

[Editor note: this is a report of a downtime that happened – run on facebook – after our last Cyberpunk session. It is one of two quite impressive downtimes we ran over the past two weeks. We’ve run another session in person since then, but that session makes no sense without these downtimes. Also…

Date: 6th September 2177 Weather: Rainy Mood: Elated, but sore. I’d forgotten how much it hurts to get shot in the head, but I’m so so so so happy that my Russian ghost came back to me. Even if this time it made me sick and weird and I heard voices … Outfit: Obviously today…
