I am reviewing old games I didn't finish.
This is a supplement for CY_BORG where you chase a psychic girl through the sprawl against cultists and corpos.
I wanted to try writing a 'Main Character' NPC. The Girl makes you question the game rules. Is she manipulating you into helping her?

If you're a fan of Trophy Dark/Trophy Gold, just a quick heads up that a bunch of Trophy writers are compiling new incursions for a Kickstarter for next year.
I'll no doubt talk about it more as the date approaches, but if you wanna set a reminder for yourself:

I read @monsterpotion.bsky.social's new version of Fight Truck, and cried about it. Then I wrote this. It's personal and vulnerable and bold and I'm very proud. I'd love to hear from anyone if this speaks to you, and I want to hear why other people seek out risky play .
"What do we risk when we play?"
Contributor @seraphimseraphina.bsky.social interrogates the path of her life through a joyfully violent larp that radically reframes safety and risk.
