Reality's Edge: Cyberpunk Skirmish Rules
 |
Hyper-reality. The area between the thriving mass of humanity known as the Sprawl and the digital refuge of Cyberspace. This is your playground. As a Showrunner¸ you can see and manipulate the flow of digital data through the real world - for you¸ reality is limitless.
Welcome to Reality's Edge ¸ a skirmish wargame set in a dystopian cyberpunk future¸ where players take on the roles of Showrunners - mercenary hackers who lead small teams of trusted operatives and disposable freelancers. Funded by shadow backers¸ the Showrunners accept jobs from faceless clients for profit¸ glory¸ and better chrome… always better chrome.
Battles take place in the concrete jungle known as the Sprawl¸ but Showrunners must remain wary of the threat posed by Cyberspace. Hacking is pivotal to the game¸ with data nodes¸ robots¸ machines¸ and even enemy chrome presenting potential targets for a cunning Console Cowboy. In an ongoing campaign¸ each skirmish offers you the opportunity to earn experience and equipment¸ from advanced weaponry and synthetics to cyber-implants¸ biological enhancements¸ clones¸ and much more.
This is a world obsessed with whether something can be done¸ not whether it should.
